And now, Comcast’s 1 TB per month data cap just gets even more frustrating, since it turns out that even the huddled masses of Cuba end up getting that much a week.
Yes, but it is only the porn in the 1 TB that counts, the masses of cuba is more huddled because they don’t get any of it.

However, being a party of explorers, they didn't bring any military engineers with them. In true 'wing it' fashion, they built their trebuchet based on drawings some of them remembered seeing sometime or other. The first time they fired it, it worked - it launched the log ammunition straight up. It promptly came straight down and smashed the trebuchet to flinders.
