I have it at my cabin, and get anywhere between 100-200mb/s down and 10-20mb/s up.

I’m in a discounted area and “only” pay $90 per month, so that probably has something to do with the speeds.

I’m also fairly close to the downlink site - not sure if that has any effect.

There are no other non-satellite options available.

This is what I do for a customer that I've had a long relationship with.

For $X00 per month, they get business hours on-call access and up to 10 hours of actual support work. I think the retainer/hours thing is a lot more palatable.

I offered 24x7, but having done it many times over the years, my price for it was about 3x the business hours support price, and the company was b2b, so it was mostly business hours anyways, so it wasn't a big deal.

The cost (to me) of always having to carry a laptop around, always be in cell range, always be mostly sober, always have my phone ringer turned on, etc. requires significant compensation, and for me, $1000 per month is nowhere near enough to deal with that.

You've been doing it for a few months, so you have an idea of how disruptive it is, and having done it for free, the thought of $1000 for doing the same thing may sound nice now, but be sure to extrapolate it out another 6 months or so of being tethered 24x7 to work, and price it based on how you're going to feel then, not now.

I enjoy sparkling water and Angostura bitters if I’m looking for a bit of flavor.

This is not correct.

32GB on the M1 Pro and 64GB on the M1 Max in the 14".

The Internet Shopping Network launched before Amazon, but I doubt they wouldn't probably have considered licensing any of their platform.

If you have a library card, your local library may provide free access to Kanopy, which has Ikiru, as well as a couple other Kurosawa and Jarmusch films.

Zone 5 from what I can find. Would not survive in MN.

As far as home computers - Amiga (any one, really)

For crazy fun, deskside SGI Onyx RE2.
