    I believe you meant that you have an internet speed of 81 MegaBytes vs 81 Megabits.

    From back in the day, there was a settings section for limiting your download/upload speeds, to make sure you didn’t max out your data cap/plan. I would suggest looking into that to make sure you’re not self-capping your DLs.

    Also check to make sure that your ISP isn’t throttling your internet connection after you hit a certain amount of data. Look at the contract you have with them.

    But like others have said, it could be a list of other reasons.

    Edit: Just thought about it. Make sure that you’re connected with a Cat 5e ethernet cable or higher. You might be limiting yourself through your hardware.

    If you need to get a newer ethernet cable, I highly recommend Monoprice.com as a place to buy online. Far more often, I have found that they have better prices (even after shipping,) and a wider selection of things than Newegg or Amazon for that matter.


  • Expectations are one of the biggest pitfalls for me. Whether they be mine, a friend/family member, a work manager, coworker, or sometimes others. It gets to me and can make me feel very frustrated and/or overwhelmed.

    It’s been a loooonnnngggg journey for me to better understand that this is one of my triggers and how to best prevent it and work with it when it happens. (It’s not pretty at times but showing up to fight the good fight is better than cowering to it IMO.)


  • Yeah, I had read a few comments a while ago from people that didn’t seem to like ST:E. I’ve done my best to be the judge of it myself. Like any show really, the first season tends to be the season where they try to figure out how to run the show. Season 1 was good collectively in my book. Just did a count of my ratings of each episode from it and counted ten episodes that I rated 8 or higher. Meaning that 38% of the episodes stood out to me. Not bad at all for a first season in my book.

    (You got me interested in figuring out what my mean ratings were per season. Season 1 - 7.26 mean, Season 2 - 7.72 mean, and Season 3 - 7.95 mean.)
