It does look good. Not all that unhealthy as there are some green things sprinkled on them. Of course, those could easily be brushed off before consuming.

Like I say about my wife: "The only green things she eats are Sour Patch Kids."

"Mexicali" food includes pozole (from Jalisco), rice and sausage morisquesta (from Michoacan), and indigenous Oaxacan cheese and sauces.

Adobada fries are a gift from The Creator. They are not mexicali, though.

I forgive you since I know most of your diet consists of white rice.

I believe V'Ger provided the recipe.

Ok so Tony the Tech called from Windstream/Kinetic today on a followup to my complaint last week. I explained the inconsistent speeds are continuing and actually trending lower. I confirmed with him the the 200 speed plan should consistently provide between 120 and 230. Todays tests were in the 60/30 range. He thinks there is probably a connection issue between the "box" or "facility" that feeds the house and they are sending a tech out tomorrow the check with an ethernet cable after I told him none of our devices nor dongles have the capability to do an ethernet test. I told him I have noticed the "after work" speed drop everyday since installation and wondering about bandwidth/user consumption issues. He had a canned answer of "that was an issue with the copper cable system but not with fiberoptic as you are the only one on your line either from the "box" or the "facility". I didn't argue with him.

Funny thing is right after I spoke with him I ran a speed test and, I'll be damned, 235/237! We'll see how long that lasts.

Yeah I know MAGIC!(complete with rainbows, Unicorns and glitter.)

I thought you bought one of those cool USB-C dongles for your Macbook with an Ethernet port on the tip (just the tip)...

Nope. No ethernet port. Not even on the tip... Just the ports I figured I needed. I run the laptop strictly on wifi.

Bruh...a laptop with no Ethernet is like a Human Centipede movie with no mouth-to-butthole action.
