Are Casper mattresses any good? We're in the market for a new one.

Yes. The GF got us one because the brand new Serta I got us was making her ache when she was pregnant. It's much more comfy than the mattress it replaced, which cost about 3 times more

Hey all. So I have this router Asus RT-N66U

I got this NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 AC3200 R8000 for my mom but she ended up not needing it.I paid $180 or thereabouts for it new. I put it up for sale for $200 but haven't received any bites.

Suffice is to say I'm considering just keeping it then. Is it overkill for my needs? I'm a pitiful bachelor and my place is pretty small--but I do like to chill on the patio with my surface pro. My PS4 and TV are wired but other than that a handful of other devices

I don't really understand internet speeds too well. I have the Cox premier package which is apparently up to 150mbps download and up to 10 mbps upload

My modem is the SB6141 I'm online a lot and money isn't much of an issue: I'm a latest and greatest kind of person. But if i'm perfectly fine where I'm at that's cool too

I think you're fine either way, although a lot of Asus's are wrt linux based, so you can flash them with a superior dd-wrt, tomato et. al ROM. Nice thing is you can slave those flashed routers so you've got wifi in remote areas, if needed. So obviously, my vote would be with that router. Mainly posted to :thumbsup: your name change.

My Airport Extreme flaked out (5 GHz connection would periodically stop working for hours) so I went router shopping a couple weeks ago and bought this fucker: https://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Dual...ords=wrt3200acm

Probably overkill for my uses but oh well. I checked the SH/SC home networking thread and apparently the only solution they'll countenance is a linux box hooked up to some hotel access points or some poo poo that sounded way over complicated.

I looked into the modems, too, and the SB6141 is definitely good up to 150 mbps but no more. If your internet speed doesn't go past that then there's no point in upgrading. I've had mine for 4 years and haven't had a single issue.

We are gonna sell this summer and get away from his crap, I'll post pics of his backyard when we do, because holy poo poo is it terrifying. Right now, there is a busted up fox body Mustang, maybe 70 pallets, a bunch of scrap metal and junk, a dozen 50 gallon drums, mice, rabbits and squirrels. And I think 7 dogs, and definitely no grass, so all you can smell is dogshit most of the year.

Also there are two more broken down cars in the driveway!

I'm late, but you should start calling your code enforcement office now if you want to sell this summer. You'll lose tens of thousands on your sale with that nearby.

The city has been at war with my neighbors for about two years. Once every week or so, somebody comes by and gives them a notice of violatio, usually for the broken down cars, but also for the crap they have on their porch and all the scrap metal that spilling out on to their yard. They even hit them for parking on their gravel, using some obscure code about using "upgraded" material for parking. I can't remember the exact details of it, but it was funny. The electric company has been battling with them over easement rights, but unfortunately, they kind of gave up and asked another neighbor to give them access to utilities from a different spot and they did.

The big problem is that its a slow process to condemn a house or kick people out, and these people don't give a gently caress about code violations or the fines.
Honestly, the only thing we could do that would really kick them in the balls would be to complain about them having too many dogs, but that would probably just result in them getting put down...

I don't want to see them get thrown out, but it sucks really bad that they are essentially living like squatters in a tin hut in Tijuana and "we" have to deal with it.
We seriously go through 30 or so mice traps a season because of the pallet castle for rodents they built in their backyard. Any time there is a sudden temp change the little fuckers try to invade our house and eat all the draft blockers and moulding around our doors, then they die under our stove or behind our couch or some other equally lovely place.

This is the best answer.

Call the county animal control and let them deal with the dogs. Explicitly state you'd like to see them get re-homed, and they'll do what they can to line up proper shelters. I don't know if you're in El Paso county or not, but Springs is really goddamn strict about animals and if any of those dogs are out of date on vaccines, you could easily see animal control collect them and fine the owners. And if the dogs get loose, make a note of the day/time and you can have them cited for an unleashed animal.

Dogs are great. People loving suck. And I say that after getting bit pretty good last week by an unleashed dog that got hit by a truck. Dog didn't know any better because his masters are dumber than a sack full of dildos.

I flashed dd-wrt on my last Asus router when their firmware was complete garbage but I can't see the point to do it now? The firmware seems decent and theirs a cool app that you can use to connect to it

Trying to explain to my brother that fluorine is a naturally occurring element and not some Monsanto derived chemical compound is like punching myself in the balls. I even linked the periodic table and wiki entry on fluorine to him. His reply?

"Calcium fluoride is fine, it's hyrdofluoronic acid that's bad for you and dumped into the water supply and in your toothpaste."

Fine. Whatever. Lose your teeth and have brittle bones because you're a dumbass that bought a water filter to remove fluoride from your tap water. Stupid fucker doesn't realize it literally dilutes to almost nothing when it hits water and the hydrogen fucks off to play with oxygen.

At this point, I don't know what to think he believes.

I would literally take the word of a random conspiracy theorist on the street (or in my VA doctor's office) than from him regarding anything beyond his job and his kids, and even those are close calls.

How why the gently caress I'm even related to such dipshittery is beyond me. Thank gently caress I got a brain out of all these poo poo genetics.

E: comparably, I mean. He's only a step or two above being a mental vegetable and had to be waivered into the army on account of his poo poo asvab score, something less than 30.

Yeah, asvab isn't be all end all on intelligence, but tends to say you're smart at least in something, which you can find out from the line scores. To flat out bomb the asvab to the point of waiver is nuts, but Bush had some wars going and uncle sam told him to go commo and run wire or reinstall windows all day, so he mostly ran wire and served as a driver for his plt leader.

But holy poo poo is he a shocking level of dumb.

I was reading through a DoE handbook on materials science the other day at work, and it recommended not using flourinated oils in equipment handling tritium because "tritium fluoride evolution may occur".

Tritium fluoride sounds like fun stuff.
