our pots phone and even the dsl carried over it was far more reliable than the current fttn/coax setup we have now.
one outage in the 20 years we had the old phone line and dsl at the office. a cable cut 50 miles away nixed long distance for part of a day. when other providers (cable, wireless, cellular) were down and out, we were always still up and running.
in the year we've had the new setup? several all-day outages of all phone and internet (and video for those customers); and many, many others that were less than a whole day or night.
our theory at the time was pots has strict service reliability standards, but other distribution methods do not even when used by a local exchange carrier delivering voice telephone service.
last one i bought new was a 5670, early 2010. was about $75 for what was at that time the best you could get that didn't need extra power. it was by far the most expensive part in the pc (which i still have and use) i put together back then (sales and substantial rebates were everywhere back then)
the last one before that, and only other one i bought new at retail, was an old agp ati aiw card for a pc-based dvr. i still have that system too, but it's long been obsoleted by digital hd tv and digital encrypted cable that requires their equipment.
had donvict been sent to sulk on the back nine back in '24, i'm sure the festivities in dc this summer would be completely and totally different; more closely resembling a minnesota state fair (the biggest one in the country by daily attendance) or the '82 knoxville worlds fair (>11m visitors over the entire fair).
yea sometimes, but she was really a pro at getting the top edges 'done' in the oven. that was the best part--me and her shared that. my siblings were weird, they just wanted the 'middle'. and the dry heat keeps it from being 'soggy' from the condensation build-up of not-quite-cooled leftovers going in the fridge. the added moisture doesn't cook-off in the microwave.
that's pretty much it. a little milk, and some cut up onion, too. extra mushrooms if that's your game.
can use fresh or frozen peas. we just drop frozen in with the noodles when they're cooking.
you can also use cut up cooked or roasted chicken or turkey instead of tuna. and if you're not a mushroom fan, either of those (or tuna, ftm) can use cream of chicken instead.
