Comcast says it represents a 10 Gigabit cable internet network they are building (it doesn’t exist) so they are basically changing the meaning of the g from generation to gig to act like 10g is 5 generations better (or twice as fast)…or that they have a 10 gigabit network. Neither is accurate. It’s still just cable internet that people have to use because they have no other option.

Fuck Comcast.

I read online they are abandoning the “confusing” 10g branding but I just saw a commercial for it. They think all of their customers are morons and count on folks having no other choices in a lot of cases.

Apologies to anyone outside the United States, this is just complaining about our poor internet options and deceptive advertising by greedy corporations.

    Pretty funny the blades on disposables actually did top out at 5. The Onion wins the prediction game again.

    (I know there’s a 6 blade brand out there but I think it’s the only one, whereas all the big companies make 5. So glad I got out of the disposables and traded them for safety razors anyway-- dunno why it took me so long)

      Probably fear of cutting yourself with that single blade.

      That’s what took me so long.

      BTW, anyone here who face shaves regularly, switch to a safety razor. This is a threat.

        Yeah gotta admit I was pretty nervous the first couple times, kinda assuming I’d be just shaving and all of a sudden see a long trail of blood appear. After I got used to it though it’s just as fast as using a disposable, and I haven’t cut myself yet
