Which Bible? I don't disagree, but an introduction to the world's major religions (which is taught in at least a few schools) would provide a better foundation to understanding world history. Reference: www.lindakwertheimer.com/faith-ed-tea...

As a reminder for everyone saying, "The US had never before scored four goals in a World Cup" that they mean the men's team had never before scored that many. The women's team has absolutely scored more than four goals in a world cup, including in the final. And they also wins things.

I should add that I'm unlikely to do any further business with either Asus or BestBuy.

At this point I'm making do with a tp-link router and a range extender, and have no idea how I'm going to deal with these useless Asus routers.

❌👑 Pavlik Mintz @mintz.net · 20/04/2026

The BestBuy phone folks told me I had to go into a BestBuy store, and set up an appointment for me. When I got to the store, they said they do not service routers and I needed to go back to Asus.

❌👑 Pavlik Mintz @mintz.net · 20/04/2026

When I tried to create the RMA, it told me that because I had bought the equipment at BestBuy, I needed to contact them in order to return the routers for repair. I called BestBuy, and after getting stuck in their horrific AI front end for 15 minutes, finally got through.

❌👑 Pavlik Mintz @mintz.net · 20/04/2026

Not surprisingly, this did not fix the problem. My next call was to Asus. After several hours on the phone, we concluded that there was a problem with my router. They sent me an email with instructions as to how to create an RMA.

My first call was to my ISP, astound/rcn. They advised me to upgrade my 10-year-old surfboard modem. I didn't think this would solve the problem but did it anyway and now have a brand new DOCSIS 3.1 compatible modem, reprovisioned by my ISP.

My Asus BE5000 mesh routers, which I bought at Best Buy, have been working for over a year, suddenly lost contact with the outside world.

I'm probably shouting into the void because with the demise of Twitter it has become harder to reach customer service for any company. But I have had a horrible experience with Asus and BestBuy, and need to vent somewhere. (thread 1/?)

Nature in action. It seems a Cooper's Hawk made a meal of one of our resident rabbits, and may have buried the unfinished part in the snow for later consumption.

The public reaction to Jan. 6 began as something close to collective horror. Five years later, Trump’s historical revisionism has destroyed any shared national understanding of what happened that day, today’s @bostonglobe.com Starting Point explains www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/06/n...

Trump’s campaign to rewrite the history of the Jan. 6 attack has largely succeeded. Here’s why. - The Boston Globe

Five years after a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol to try to overturn Trump’s 2020 loss, Americans lack a shared understanding of what happened that day.
