That’s what I did when I didn’t have physical access to the network where I was living. My little Asus that I flashed with Tomato saved my sanity.

Yeah. I’ve had a couple of their little travel routers which are a lot of fun. But apparently you can’t flash custom builds on one of their more recent models.

What were your must have packages?

So did she cum or what?

If that doesn’t work, turn on the tv and try to repeat the words you hear immediately after you hear them, but absolutely silently. The goal is to echo the television ij your head.

That is your internal monologue.

Now imagine you’re trying to sleep and the asshole part of your brain starts talking about the reality dumb-ass shit you did 25 years ago…

Now imagine that you just got a song stuck in your head. You know the song really well… and you can’t stop repeating the hook in your mind.

It’s your brain silently reading the captions of the narration of the images of your train of thought.

I agree that moving to digital saved so much time, and I’ll never miss brainwraps or thrown platters… but working booth shifts threading projectors were some of the happiest times I had running theaters.

I’ve gotten bad keys from the studio before, usually when we were doing advanced screenings. It was a relatively quick fix… I think the longest delay was ~15 minutes. I never had to cancel a show because of it, certainly didn’t have to close the entire building.

For as much as I loved the convenience of digital, I really miss the days of 35 film.

A police officer being unable to think in such a fashion is exactly why no one could solve the see-saw riddle on Brooklyn 99.

Case in point: a number of years ago I knew a kid who was smart enough to flash Tomato on his router, enable SSH and even install a bunch of Entware packages. But he wasn’t intelligent enough to change the SSH port from 22 or leave the remote access disabled.

Fast forward a month or two and his ISP tells him that they traced some pretty serious botnet shenanigans to his IP.

Just because someone is smart enough to use a device doesn’t necessarily mean they’re intelligent enough to use it safely.

I didn’t even know a horse could do that!
