I have T-Mobile too. Would you mind explaining the process of adding an external antenna? I’d like to get 250 Mbps stable.

I stopped shopping at Cub specifically because the self-checkout registers were just like the ones described above. The cashier lanes weren’t any better because I still had to do all the work except scanning anyway.

They advocate for things like anti-communism, neoconservativism, the Christian right, smaller government, bigger military, traditional family values, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, white supremecist ideas, voting restrictions - generally all the most destructive policies of the last 50 years.

Given that the source of this opinion piece is The Heritage Foundation I'm skeptical.
