I knew that she was a comedian but hadn't seen any of her standup so I didn't really have any attachment to her as a reason to want to watch the show. But I like it. It's definitely getting better, but it also definitely depends on the chemistry of the guests. I remember the one with Gillian Jacobs (obligatory "oh, Britta's in this?") was particularly good. Their YouTube channel puts up a playlist of most (all?) of the previous night's show, and it has become a regular watch while I'm doing emails etc in the morning.

I have Comcast, but my deal for the last two years recently ended just in time for me to also start having hour+ long outages multiple times per week. I'm curious about my options, and specifically I wonder how viable wireless options like Verizon or T-Mobile are. Are the speeds consistent (and high) enough for video conference? Video streaming? I don't really game so I don't think latency is that important for me.

I live in the Cheesman/Cap Hill area and have one of those hideous green Verizon 5g poles right outside my building, but the eligibility checker on Verizon's site thinks it may not be in range for me somehow so I wonder how fragile it is.

I have Mint Mobile (T-Mobile) with no issues at home but I guess I'm not really stressing the throughput on my phone.

Her new district is actually the eastern plains. And the western slope isn't all bad. Fruita is pretty great.

Not an answer to your software question, but you will very likely struggle with overheating since your phone will almost necessarily be in direct sunlight for hours at a time. If you really need to do this, avoid mounting your phone with a case and try to use a mount that does not cover too much of your phone's rear surface- cases and mounts can make it harder for your phone to dissipate heat.

I grew up in Alabama but live in Colorado now. If I were forced to live somewhere in Alabama, Huntsville would be at/near the top of my list. But it's still Alabama, and I'd still waaay rather live in Colorado. It obviously doesn't keep everyone away, and there's a lot of inertia there with all the existing space/rocket/defense industry in Huntsville. But is Space Command even going to be hiring heavily in the engineering fields that are concentrated in Huntsville? (That's a real question- I'd guess they're not hiring primarily engineers that they'd find in Huntsville, but I don't know.)

I was using liftoff at first but Connect is much closer to the UI and feature set I want. I do want a way to see the instance in the list view, but that got very cluttered in liftoff. I wondered if maybe an option to deemphasize (smaller? Faded?) the instance in the community name might help it be less cluttered.
