Had a hell of a storm roll thru yesterday and last night. Pretty sure the router is fried (no power, outlet is good). The wireless access point for the UVerse is dead. I've got Xfiniti Internet and UVerse TV and nothing is working. Awesome E: walked outside to check the house for a lightning strike and it looks like a tree about 4-5 meters away from the ATT box next to the sidewalk got hit. Pieces of the tree are on my roof about 60 feet away   Tide fucked around with this message at 15:00 on May 16, 2015 |

Preoptopus posted:I spent 11 hours on a creaper under a clapped out limousine we couldnt lift on a rack today. gently caress Cadillac rear shocks. And then the brake line broke near the rear axle while bleeding the brakes after doing CPR on the front. And caddys use some hosed up thread for line fittings no one had so of course i had to flare line all while having to eat the whole thing thing cause the owner couldnt imagine that a 96 Brougham that done 250,000 miles on Chicago streets would have rusty brake lines. So then I went to replace the line all the way back from the combination valve and wouldnt you know, shaking the combination valve around hosed up the line going to the right front. I said gently caress it. Compression fittings all the way. Soaked in brake fluid, I tilted my head and no joke rust chunks fell out. Easily made it into the top 5 shittiest days of being a mechanic. How were your pizza runs today STR? I feel your pain. I too am a Chicago land mechanic. I was under a 96 cummins ram doing a starter and literally had rust and mud falling from my head till I showered. Then yesterday I had to do front struts on a 97 previa. WHICH HAS A loving HARDLINE WRAPPED AROUND THE loving STRUTS...... But some how my rustomancer training is paying off. I got all four fittings loose and only had to use a vice grip on one. And they all went back in with a line wrench....

There's a loving BENTLEY in the top 10 Glickenhaus isn't doing so great  There's also a Viper out there running around.928 has a new alternator which seems to be working. Went to start working on the VW (replace front rotors), should have known better than to trust the dealership recommendation to replace them. Sure they have some wear but they're loving fine.

I could afford a cheap bike, but cheap bikes aren't really cheap in the long run, so I might as well just save up for a motard. Don't you ride a ZRX? Only other bike I'd consider if I could find one is a 550 Zephyr so I could turn it into a mini ZRX. For some reason though they seem non existent, very few of them out there for sale and none around me. I love the ZRX but it's just too big for what I need. MustardFacial posted:I rode my bike for the first time ever today. The thing is unstable as poo poo, and I keep forgetting that there is a back brake but it was pretty decent fun overall. I may do this again sometime. It sounds pretty cool too. That bike is awesome, you could convert it to a little super moto and it would be a lot more stable, or just get some better tires for the stock rims.

So AI (STR??), what is the best router on the market? Need the magical unicorn of speed plus distance. If I need to pick up extenders, that's fine. The router is almost in the middle of the house, but the garage is 4 walls away.

The 2.4GHz N channel on my Asus RT-AC66U carries through 6 walls and 100ft into the parking lot of my condo, none of my routers before this one managed that reliably. Plus you get the futureproof 802.11AC (though the 5GHz range is inherently much less, and nothing comes with an AC card yet but getting 800+ mbps over wireless when you do get one is cool as gently caress). Find a refurb one, they usually go for less than the equivalent terrible D-links and Linksys.

Belatedly jumping in on the Mad Max Fury Road love. HOLY poo poo THAT MOVIE IS AWESOME! I love that they actually built all of those cars and did stunts for real, including explosions, and I love that the only stuff that obviously had to be CGI was when people got thrown off cars at high speed and mangled. So much goodness in that movie, all action, no bullshit.

But, I commute five days a week roughly 90 miles round trip, ride for fun on the weekend, and average well over 12k/yr. If you can't tell, I am trying to justify it so hard. Hopefully next spring when the wife is out of school and working, I can make it work.

I've got a Netgear R7000 that I am really happy with. I actually turned off the 2.4Ghz radio since I get good 5Ghz signal everywhere in my house and garage. The furthest corner of my garage is about a 100ft, two walls, and a floor away from the router. The Netgear firmware and web gui are actually pretty good. I did switch to dd-wrt just because I wanted to and configured it to just be an access point as I got an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite in preparation for Gbit internet service. I have a few friends with the same Netgear router who are all happy with them. The Asus equivalent (RT-AC68U) should basically be the same and very good as well.

I am personally looking near the Ames area, but in the small towns around it. There has been some drat good deals lately, there was a nice 3 bed 2 bath with a 3 car garage for sale in Huxely for 140,000. And the garage had plenty of electrical service.

Ignore all George Lucas' navel-gazing mutterings about how he changes films to better tell the story how we wanted to originally and couldn't, George Miller takes that principle and just kerbstomps it into the ground. It is two hours of unrelenting action in the Mad Max world as it should be. Plus is is the one weird trick MRAs hate. Unfortunately I promised my little brother we'd see it together and he's not in town until next weekend.
