Kinda sad. I've got about 50 of those ducks in my backyard as I type this and they're the most gentle creatures I've ever had hang around my place. I know hawks gotta eat but still.

It's not the concept, it's the implementation. My first job was at a "service station". That's what we called gas stations back in the day. I made $1.35/hr. We (I say we because there were at least 2 if not 3 of us on duty all the time) had to watch film strips (remember them?) as training. A...

Buying gas in Oregon. You can't do it yourself, so there's one guy running around working 12 pumps and turning a 5 minute job into a 20 minute one. What's the point? If it's to create a job then just pay the fucker to get out of the way.

I don't know if it's an age thing or just me, but I mist or choke up during sentimental scenes in movies or TV shows that are written to elicit that response. Didn't use to happen.

Looks good and despite what some will say, I like white appliances. They are easy to clean, brighten up the space and no fingerprints.

I have a 300gb cap on my usage and for what I do, internet and Netflix, I'm usually at 1/2 or less per month, unless I use Amazon Prime. I can throttle back the quality of Netflix being streamed and can stay under 10mg average per day easily, but Amazon doesn't let you do that and one movie will...

They left this out of their video

Maybe even a first world disorder.

I thought so too until I lived in Arizona where they're all mavericky and don't play that game. It sucks being the lone ranger, too. The only thing worse than changing your clock is not changing your clock when everybody else does.

Walking into the bank and having every last employee say "Welcome to Wells Fargo!" all at the same time. You don't mean, corporate told you to say it and it comes off as disingenuous.

Keurig KOLD Interesting tech but it drives the price of a glass of coke to over a $1.

Don't 4k TVs upscale a lesser image or is that a big 'so what'?

You might as well spring for their center channel speaker. That way all 5 will matched. That's important, IMHO.

I used to set lead type.

If you have carpet, sometimes there is room under the baseboards to cram some wire into, or just remove the baseboards, route/gouge out the sheet rock for your wire and reinstall. Same with door molding/casing. You can also fish wire under carpet. It's not a fire hazard. Don't use monster...

Hide those TV cables.

That's just about the cost for new construction. Retro-fitting I don't even see as possible unless you consider opening up every wall. EDIT: Well hang on, I was thinking of my home in AZ that is all electric and on a slab foundation. If it had a crawl space or an attic, that would help.

Get this instead. Telescopic Stun Gun You can wave it around and shit, just don't touch anything you love with it.

Yup. I just hit 111.9. Thanks for your help. Edit: I will say though, finding settings and changing them is very clear and intuitive in Win 7. My wife's win 8.1 is almost impossible to tweak. I'm not having fun finding the settings for her wifi adaptor. I'll keep at it.

In the system icons hidden in the lower right hand corner of my desktop, there is an icon that when clicked, allowed me to select 2.4 or 5 or both. I selected both and now my 5g channel showed up. I selected it and it seems a little balky, but speedtest is now 101.73. yay.

I renamed the 5GHz channel as you suggested but it doesn't show up as a choice as possible networks to connect to. But on a positive note, speedtest number is 76.33. I'm running Win7 if it matters.

That's a good idea. I'll rename them later today and see. What are some causes of interfence?

Ok, I've been running speed tests off and on all day and just now, I reached 80.24, 73.71 and 71.75. Previously, I was between 36-47. It seems like the router (Asus RT-AC68U) is working properly. When I look at the settings, 2.4 and 5.0 are active and the idiot lights on the front confirm this...

Now then, one day I was looking for a lavender scented soap/cr?me and came uponthis. It was almost twice the price of what I usually spend but half of what other lavender products were going for so I bought it. It smells nothing like lavender. I have no idea what the scent is and I'm afraid it...

Thanks! Edit: I never thought to google my computer. It's this oneVAIO. Looks like the protocol is "n" I think I'll getTHISsince it's AC.

No, I've only tried the lime as it was recommended as being very fragrant, which it is, but it's no big deal in the lather department.

My router is AC and does both 2.4 and 5 but my laptop may be incapable of dealing with it. The laptop was new in 2007 and I don't know what wifi protocol it uses, if that's the right terminology. 50 mbps is OK, but they upped my bill $5 per month when they went to 100 and I'm not benefiting...

For lime I'm using Razorock, but I'll try that next.

I get 100 with my ethernet cable but I only get 50 wirelessly. My limited knowledge in this matter tells me my computer(s) have some antiquated wifi hardware in them, or my router needs adjusting.

Quick question? My provider says they're giving me 100mbps. With an Ethernet cable between my router and my PC (a Sony Vaio), I can get 100 or better. Wireless I get 50 tops. Where's the bottleneck? The internet is cable. The modem is a Motorola/Arris SB6141 and the router is an Asus RT-AC68U.

You might be right, but I enjoy the ritual too much to leave out one of the best parts. I shave after a shower but not before I whip up a bowl of something wonderful. I do notice however, that if I need to go back over a place on my neck, for instance, I need to first put some suds on the area...

My needs are pretty basic. I want a place where I can store photos and data files (word, excel, musescore, etc) that is accessible from different computers in the house. Back-up is important. If my next laptop/tablet could use the NAS instead of an onboard HD, that would be a bonus. Any...

Do you have a crawl space?

Bleach is not the best choice. I was listening to a fix-it guy radio station and several callers called in with testimonials for this stuff. Wet & Forget I've never tried it.

You can come back and insulate a metal door. I can't say if that's better or worse than a fiberglass door with insulation already installed.

What were you using for shaving cream that makes shaving without it better? If you say you get it from a can, that's the problem.

If you're in a money saving mood, you might just try and see if you can get smooth tires in a size that fits your rim. There's a lot of drag in knobby tires.

I know I'm in the minority when I say this but I love to shave. I love mixing up a bowl of lather in a different fragrance everyday. This morning it was lime. I don't know what it will be tomorrow. I've got about seven or eight. Same with aftershaves. You can't have too many.

Hot dog buns that break into two pieces when you try to spread them open. Now what? That ain't gonna hold any onions or cheese and you can't put it down on your plate because your hand is the only thing holding it together.
