631: The Colors Are the Pepperoni

A long time ago, I decided one of my pandemic projects was going to be to put fiber in the house. We talked about this. I think it was, like, 2020 or something like that. I've been waiting for the fiber update. We all have. No. This is this is gonna be his, like, project Titan announcement. He's like, you know, Project Fiber has been canceled. Everyone is fired. We've we've been we've reassigned all the staff of this project. We have spent $10,000,000,000 on it, but it turns out it's not gonna happen. Go home, everybody.

But at the time, I thought, okay. The garage will be the command center.
