Friendos, a favour if I may.
Pepper and Iggy are in the top three for Pet of The Year 2025, photos we got taken and printed before she passed. We treasure these greatly.
Please take a second to vote for 018 - Pepper and Ignis, I'd be forever grateful ❤️

I'm at my sister's house for Christmas and the Wi-Fi here is a disaster. She has 15 people trying to stream on a single consumer-grade router.
Everything was buffering. People were getting frustrated. They started looking at me like I should "jump in and fix the settings."
I didn't even put down my fork.
I told them the issue isn't the router; it's ISP Throttling. I told them that on national holidays, providers "cap the bandwidth" at the neighborhood node to prevent a total grid collapse.
I told them there’s literally nothing anyone can do until the "surge period" ends at midnight.
Is it true? No. I could have easily logged into the router, prioritized my own MAC address, and let everyone else deal with the lag.
But if I "fix" it once, I’m the family Help Desk for life. By blaming a faceless corporation, I killed the expectation of support.
Everyone stopped complaining and started a board game. I went into the den, used my phone as a Private Hotspot, and finished my movie in 4K.
Infrastructure is about control. Management is about making sure you're the only one who has it.
Hey so I've been a bit afk these last few months. Losing my baby girl, Pepper hurt a hell of a lot.
We were going to be waiting for a year or two, but ended up bonding with a little girl and long story short, Wednesday will welcome Quincy to the TakeOn family ❤️
