Gotta cheat and say old movies. When I was a kid in the early to mid 60s, a local TV station showed movies from the 30s and 40s every Sunday around dinner time. So, my Dad and I watched Bogart and Errol Flynn and gangster/dancing Cagney and Marx Brothers, musicals, Arsenic and Old Lace. BEST time.

... before turning on the next one. Patience. Let all the devices get their IP addresses they had before VOIP came along. Then turn it on. Worth a shot. The power outage might have caused a free for all.

Ugh. Of course that would IMMEDIATELY. My first trouble shooting would be to unplug the VOIP router. Then unplug your wifi router. And then unplug your cable modem (if that's how your internet is provided). Wait a few minutes. Turn each one on in reverse order, giving that one time to fully start..

Has anyone taken offense at Ernst putting the tooth fairy and Jesus in back-to-back sentences? Going for sarcastic, non-apology and lands... something else. Get some word salad distance between those two!

"Traditional public eugenics had two goals: on the one hand, and primarily, to eliminate the weakest, ultimately by killing them (negative eugenics)..." from a paper still on the NIH website

When Schumer was a kid, hi tech was Howdy Doody on a 12-inch black & white TV. Not sure that's applicable.

‪Just the word “negotiations” shows how far off the plot everyone has gotten. Russia illegally invaded a sovereign country and is carrying out a genocide. What is there to negotiate?‬
