Atomic

Wingstop is one of my favorite go to spots. Something about their mango habanero sauce that keeps bringing me back. I also love that they have an option to get all flats or all drumsticks, I totally take advantage of that and get all flats. I like how much crispier the wings are when they're flats versus of drums. As of recent, I've been ordering half mango habanero and half atomic with a side of veggie sticks. The atomic sauce is the spiciest flavor they have, it's pretty addicting. It has a nice kick to it, guaranteed to open up your sinuses. The trick is to eat a veggie sticks in between each wing to help with the spice. Not gonna lie, when I eat the atomic wings I feel like I'm on an episode of "Hot Ones." I think I can take on the last sauce on that show, bring out The Last Dab!

2.5.7 ISP Service Types

Within this section I learned the different types of internet connections that there has been. When the internet first came out, dial up was the form of internet connection. When you wanted internet connection then, you would need to make a phone call to the ISP. Dial up uses analog signals to send internet connection to the computer, while it does so, a loud sound is made which literally means it's making the connection. One of the down sides to dial up is that internet connection is slower. DSL internet connection is similar to dial up because both use a phone connection. But with DSL you are able to use both the phone and internet at the same time, unlike with dial up. In this section, I also learned what fiber optic  connection is. With fiber optic connection, it send signal with light rather than with electricity. Fiber optic connection is far quicker than DSL and dial up. One of it's only down sides is that, fiber optic is very expensive, therefore its still not used as often as other connections. 

Last Monday, a sales representative from Cox came to the office where I work. Since I'm the receptionist, the majority of the people who come into the office, I deal with. That unfortunately includes sales people who try to pitch their ideas to the company I work at. About 95% of them give their sales pitch to me. So when the Cox rep came in, his pitch was regarding us transferring over to optic fiber service type because they were having a "promotion" on this form of internet connection. As he is explaining what optic fibers had to offer, I was just surprised I knew exacting everything he was talking about and afterwards I was able to give a summation of the cox promotion to my coworkers to see if we were interested.

1.2.2 Web and Internet Facts

In section 1.2.2 we learned about a few general web facts such as IP Addresses, ISP, and HTML are. Before taking this class, I generally knew what an IP Address was but not what it's actual function is. So now I know that each computer has an already assigned Internet Protocol address. In addition, I learned what the Internet of Things mean and realized that I constantly use this in my daily life. Internet of Things generally means that a physical device which has connection to the internet and is able to communicate shared data through things such as barcodes or QR codes. Ever since the pandemic started and few restaurants and bars have physical menus anymore to avoid more than one person touching the same menu. So barcodes and QR codes are now how you access most menus when you go out nowadays. I scan the code on my phone and their menu pops up on my safari instantly.

Wiseguys

Last Wednesday I went to an open mic night for the first time as a first date. We went to Wiseguys, its a local comedy club located in downtown. It was a great experience and would definitely check that place out again for open mic nights, they have them every Wednesday. The two hour show was only $5 for entry and you get to sit through about fifteen comics preform their stand up. There are some really funny people who go up and tell local jokes that only people who live in Vegas would find hilarious. But just like there were some good ones, there were some bad ones unfortunately. For example there was this one guy whos first time preforming happened to be that night. His whole stand up revolved about him being anxious about it being his first time and how he had forgotten all of his material.... and thats it. To this day, I still don't know if that really was his material or if he actually had forgotten all of it haha. Regardless, it was pretty entertaining to watch and recommend you guys checking it out (:
