- What does this statistic even mean? You "escape death" a million times a day just by not dying, since you have essentially unlimited chances to die every day. Like did you not choke on that bite of food, did you not trip and fall breaking your neck, did you not have a heart attack this second... this second... this second. WTF.
- Who followed a few thousand people for their whole lifetimes and counted the "number of times they escaped death"? How would any observer determine what is and isn't escapting death?
- How freaking gullible are peple?

Just noticed something interesting about my laptop....
Something that has just started. When I have Bluetooth on and any bluetooth device connected to my laptop, my wireless speeds drop drastically. Speedtest.net shows 85 mbit download the first time, and less than 1mbit download after connecting my controller.
Anybody else experiencing this?
Edit: OS is WIndows 10.

Have never noticed this, but BT is part of the wireless chip typically, in laptops.

Yeah. And I'd even expect a performance hit knowing that but to take that big of a hit is shocking.

Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz WiFi use the same frequency. If you want to maintain full WiFi speed while using Bluetooth, be sure the WiFi is using 5GHz frequencies

sounds like my wife. she likes to cook those things for like 3 minutes. I always make fun of her calling them shriveled hot dogs.
-
@donahue is that supposed to be a dirty joke?
-
@dustinb3403 not really. She really likes really over cooked hot dogs.
