Make me an offer I can't refuse.

Fitting image, because I can literally pay you in kittens.

A peer once explained to me that there are two types of "free".

The first type of "free" is "free beer" - when someone offers you free beer, you say "thank you", you enjoy it, and you move on with your life.

The second type of "free" is "free puppies". Being all responsible men of the proper age to receive both types of free, you know where this is going.

That is all.

Greenlight Network (fiber optic internet) installation is scheduled for this Friday. I am so psyched to be able to tell TWC to piss off, permanently.

I'm on a conference call and the guy keeps saying "predictament" instead of "predicament". It's killing me.

Start humming the theme from Ferris Bueller very quietly each time he does it.

I have the TP-Link WDR3600 and it's shit. Drops every couple of days requiring a restart.

Dropped wifi requiring a restart was my chief compliant when I flashed a different firmware. Not only did I never have to reset my router again, but speeds relative to my paid internet speed went from passable to perfect.

Router Database | www.dd-wrt.com

The WDR3600 is in there, and it looks like a straightforward firmware flash using factory firmware flash method.

Strange story: Our local guy in charge is former military. So, he likes to hire former military. Because of this, he was contacted recently by the gov't. They asked him to give a new guy a job, and he said yes. Some sort of relocation program for people who are at-risk to be targeted by bad guys because they helped us in the war.

New guy is Iraqi, former chemistry teacher. Trained as a chemical engineer. Speaks 4 languages, and was used by US forces in Iraq as a translator. Decent enough guy, or so we thought.

Monday, he calls in; wife is sick. Tuesday, same thing, going to the hospital. Wednesday, nothing. Today, nothing. So HR calls. No answer. They call his gov't contact, who can't get a hold of him, either. They call and ask the police to check up on him. Cops go to the apt. and no one is there. Place is cleaned out, and he's in the wind.

*cue creepy Twilight Zone music*

Did anyone happen to watch the women's 800m heat races tonight (thurs)? Two different heats there were "women" a bit different. One reminded me of sasquatch and the other was a straight up man with a woman's hair.

So i googled the first racers name and sure enough I am not the only one who noticed. There is such a thing as intersex. It is kinda like a hermaphrodite.

Previously, there were tests for levels of certain chemicals that would disqualify you from competing if high enough. The tests have been stopped due to feelz. Guess who won both heats?

The "ladies" who looked like "men" won both heats.

Earlier in the Olympics, my wife commented on how awesome it was that a transgender female->male was competing in one of the longer runs. She said something along the lines of "that's so awesome that someone who used to be a woman is able to compete with the men". I mentioned "yeah, but it can also go the other way; think of the repercussions of that." She thought about it for perhaps 2 seconds before her jaw nearly fell out of her head.

As I watched the 800m heats, the "semi-females" stood out like sore thumbs - not the "slightly red" sore thumbs, but rather more like "just-got-squashed-by-pneumatic-press" sore thumbs. Visually speaking, there were men running with (and winning) the women's heats.

Typically, when a competitor does not fit in with a specific competitive class, that competitor is moved up to the next more competitive class, as a competitive advantage for one is far less degrading to competition than a competitive disadvantage for one. It's strange to me that these hefemales are not running and competing with the men. It seems some time ago, there was a "testosterone" test to determine if women were taking banned testosterone supplements as PEDs; that test was then complained about and outlawed because it prevented some women from competing. I think that is the exact test that we need to implement - not to prevent self-proclaimed "women" from competing, but rather as a barometer to determine if they will be required to compete with the rest of the men.

I think you two care way to much about it. IOC cleared them so, they are fine to race where they were at.

At this point what difference does it make?

Any of you guys know a program for windows 7-8-10 that will show me which speaker is making noise and how much?

For those of you with Amazon Prime who watch tv/movies/etc. on it, I'd like to recommend a documentary movie. "JJ Grey & Mofro - Brighter Days" is the name of it. It is about a grassroots musician who paired up with an already successful instrumental funk band. It contains some interspersed concert performance footage featuring full length song performances. He has a very distinct, powerful voice and a gritty, soulful style. He starts to come into his own in the fourth concert song, both in terms of songwriting and emotion.

I just thought I'd share.

^^ Those guys occasionally play venues up in Santa Cruz, one of the radio stations I listen to occasionally gives away tickets. So you are saying they are worth seeing?

I put Windows 10 on my work laptop today, and I thought this was appropriate:

Attachment 237419

Good to know. I've never owned anything made by Asus ever, so I figured I'd ask.

Yep! I've set up half a dozen devices with dd-wrt over the years, its win.

I bought Y8s R7000, so ...close enough?

I've never had that type of experience with stock firmware on OLDER Linksys devices, but then I haven't purchased anything new since maybe 2007?

I snipped out the image, but how are you pulling that temp data? I ain't scared of no fan. Most of these things run on 12vdc so tapping power from either the wall wart or the USB won't be an issue.

Yep! She's a beaut! Sitting on my desk right now. I just updated the factory firmware, now I'm trying to decide if I want to go with something open source or not. The dd-wrt site does not list the R7000 but I know there are other projects out there.

The factory interface is not that bad. Its very "user friendly" and not in a bad way. My dad could probably figure out how to sent this thing up.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! :likecat:
