That’s just how modems are designed. DOCSIS consumer cable modems allocate about 10× download bandwidth vs upload. A 10:1 download-to-upload ratio is pretty standard. I have a 400 Mbps upload on a 1.2 Gbps download, which is pretty good.

4. Scratching and bumping cars in parking lots is a big deal even if it’s not fatal.
5. Just look, man. Look out the windows.

I wonder if Texas has better bankruptcy laws.

Joan Westenberg’s framing of this problem as “technical debt” I think is spot-on. Because congress (especially the Senate) has become unable to pass bills, and states are no longer able to amend the constitution, we have amassed a ton of technical debt in our laws, patched only by executive orders that can be easily swept away by the next executive.
