Since you tagged this as serious... Is the plumbing in a chase? That would probably be a better route.

I could probably convince my wife we don’t need the spare bathroom upstairs so it’s not like the toilet will be used much or at least restrict it to non solids use to not cause issues.

Aside from probably not conforming to code, this should be a tough sell. The function of a toilet is straight forward and doesn't involve restrictions due to communication cabling.

Have you considered running a second router as an AP or moving your networking gear to the main level? Either are probably less involving.

It's easy to avoid buying things from Amazon. It's hard to avoid AWS. It would be insane to try to suss out what provider everyone that I buy stuff from uses, and their third party relationships. Regulation is better.

The headline gives far too much attention to Trump and buries the lede. If there is another Republican president, they will be expected to toe the line. This is the initiative of Project 2025. This is the Republican playbook.

Hillary Clinton is irrelevant, and should get over herself.

The antibiotics are used so that the chickens don't contract infections and die from living in inhumane conditions.

This change allows them to increase their profit margin at the cost of animal welfare.

Meanwhile, the masses are still using all the 'services' because they all have momentum. I'm not confident any of them can do anything bad enough to chase off their users.

Insulting a key demographic of your constituency in a ranked choice system is an interesting strategy.

COVID is still a big deal. People are still getting sick and dying. In the US, it's still claiming about 1,500 lives weekly.

Long COVID significantly affects the quality of life for many.

The best doctor can only advocate for the best treatment. Your continued good health is dependent on your vigilance.

We desperately need the national popular vote. 80% of the votes in the upcoming election may as well be ignored.

As a consumer, I will now forever remember that WebMD's C Suite is most interested in "crushing their competition" and being heavy handed with their employees. I once thought that they were concerned about the betterment of societal health. This is how you lose your most performant employees.

I can't believe they published this to a publically available platform like Vimeo. Did they already lose their Marketing executive?
