It will be okay. I'm not too mad about, it actually made me laugh at how absurd it was. My mom also sells, and one time had someone claim they couldn't pay because "they were dead".

1. I should be getting a tax refund and want to buy a new computer. 2. Friend has told me about Sea of Thieves and I want to play. 3. Sea of Thieves comes out about the same time I can get a new computer. 4. My computer is on wifi. The router/modem/DVR is across the house. 5. Friend says we can just run a cable there. Friend does not understand the router is on the west side of the house, my room is the NE corner and no cable will safely reach that far. 6. We used to have a router in the spare bedroom but I can't explain to the Cox provider exactly what box does what on the stack of devices or if we can move the router back to the spare bedroom so I can ethernet cord through the wall direct.

Tiggum posted:How big is the house? Because you can get some pretty long cables. The issue would be making the cable actually connect through several hallways where cats have free reign. I might be able to move the router back to the spare bedroom. FWP: one of my cats is in that teenage rear end in a top hat time and she jumps all over everything, gets into fights, and throws screaming fits if you pick her up to clean her ears. It's like, Koi, you better outgrow this poo poo because I am sick of you knocking things off the counter! Doesn't help my mom gave her a pinch of bread once, so now she wants to eat bread and will tackle wrapped loaves left on the kitchen counter and tear holes in the bag to get the poo poo.

Noctone posted:So run it along the ceiling? I live in an apartment, we did this to run a cord from the router in the living room down the hallway to my parents room, a straight shot with no twists or turns, and it was still an enormous pain in the rear end. Whatever you're picturing, it's not going to turn out as nice and neat and out of the way as you're imagining. It will still be very clearly HERE BE CABLE ugliness, and Cowslips has to run it 2x or 3x the distance we had to run ours. Also cats, but my cats never actually showed any interest in mine after it was put up, though mine aren't bread-stealing little demons either

We still need to buy a new couch for the apartment. I can't do that until I unpack all the boxes in the living room. In the meantime we're sitting in outdoor folding chairs and they're uncomfortable.Stupid_Sexy_Flander posted:What about those wall outlet network things? Was about to suggest this. They're a good option if you really want to avoid wifi. Just be aware that you can get interference from things like bad wiring and having power-hungry appliances on the same circuit. I was considering doing this in my living room (PC and modem will be on opposite sides), but then I realized I'll be able to get away with hiding a flat ethernet cable under the living room carpet.

When I yawn, my left eye waters a little bit. Just the left. So I have a sore patch of chapped skin at the corner of my eye that I can't stop scritching because now it's peeling. My apt has so many closets that I don't have enough wall space to hang all my art. And the third party seller on Amazon sent me a paperback despite the listing being for a hardback. Now my set won't be consistent!! <autistic screeching>

I have great work hours overall, but work a split schedule on certain days of the week. I live incredibly close to work, which is the cushiest commute ever. Normally I have time to make dinner and watch a 45-50 minute episode of something when I go home in-between afternoon and evening work hours but because of a hold-up earlier I can't watch the show while I eat dinner. Nevermind that I've seen the entire show already before- I feel like I'm not really getting the in-between break that I like and it sucks because I'm used to this downtime as a way to deal with the split schedule. frogge has a new favorite as of 02:16 on Feb 8, 2018 |

gschmidl posted:A mesh router might also work. Looking into this now...any recommendations? I thought it'd be easy, because we used to have a router in the spare room, but now that I look there, I don't see that the modem was ever there. A few months back a Cox rep said we needed a new modem, so we got one, and it has the router and modem in one box. It's across the house, so I get dead zones in my bedroom too. Would a mesh router let me play some actual games or should I call the fuckers at Cox and see if they can move the entire box to the spare room? I imagine they'd have to set up some kinda new hookup for the modem, because it doesn't just plug into a wall socket, right?

Cowslips Warren posted:Looking into this now...any recommendations? I have the Netgear one, which is pretty expensive but speed/ping is identical to the cable I was running across the flat before. You can plug it into the modem via ethernet cable, that’s what I do. Both the base station and the receiver have ethernet ports, too.

Ever since I started eating oatmeal with flax and hemp seed every morning and mostly beans for lunch, I started having unbelievably massive shits. On one side it's amazing because they are soft and my rear end never hurts anymore. On the other side, the shits are so huge that they loving clog the toilet. I had no idea this was possible.

My township/village/whatever government sent an automated call telling residents about something, due to the incoming snowstorm we're going to get. What it was, precisely, I don't know, because the automated message talked through our brief answering machine intro, and the ~something~ wasn't recorded.

The toilet at my workplace has an absolutely idiotic design. It has two buttons, one for a "big flush" and one for a "small flush". Small flush is used when you just have to pee and uses up half the tank, big flush uses the whole tank and is for something with more heft than simply urine. So you save water and everything's fine, right? Wrong. Because who designed the toilet is a moron, when you use the small flush button it doesn't fill the tank to capacity afterwards. And of course a half-tank flush isn't enough to make poop go away. So it often happens that when I go take a poo poo I press the big flush button only to be rewarded with a short, weak flow that isn't nearly enough to wash off my massive poop; I then have to wait for the tank to fill up, press the big flush button again, and say bye bye to my poo poo, using up one and a half tanks of water in the process.

The fuse got lit on what is potentially a gigantic drama bomb at work. It involves somebody that I recently realized is a horridly toxic coworker and I'm 100% in the right in the situation but said coworker I expect to be petty about it.

It's not an unusual design for me, I'm describing for those who don't know it. What is unusual is that the tank doesn't fill back up after a small flush, so if you poop after someone has peed, you end up using one and a half tanks of water. Thus wasting water. This was my FWP.

I never saw a two flush toilet until later in life but I remember when I was about ten thinking it would save so much water for a small flush and a larger flush depending and telling my science teacher my idea and how great it would be and how much money I would make. More fool I. Anyway that teachers dead now.
