    @89th said in WiFI range extender?: Can you just reposition the main WiFi router? Repositioning the router is an option. But, I used to have it in the master main bedroom. But connectivity into the living room, whichis right below Bedroom 1 in the floorpan was a problem. It might be because we have metal studs in the walls, and it was a diagonal line to the living room. Moving the router to Bedroom 1 solved that. Exactly. It's really just for casual web browsing when I'm in bed. I assume George's main usage of the WiFi is not Ego shooters, or playing Minecraft, or watching uncompressed 4K movies, so bad latency or bandwidth may not be an issue and a range extender works well enough. Yup, simple web browsing and stuff when I'm in bed. If I need serious bandwidth, I'll go to bedroom 1, where that German pr0n streams beautifully.

    Might want to try your hand at them. They are good. I like Mexican vanilla in mine, if I can find it.

    The Oathkeepers guy said he'll testify as well. As long as it's live and unedited for broadcast.

    @George-K said in Video essay about Hunter Biden: I may watch it later. However, I have a problem with so-called Psychologists analyzing people without having met them. ETA: If you want to be taken seriously, Doc, lose the Hawaiian shirt, 'mkay? He is careful to say that he 'is not diagnosing anybody in these videos'. In this particular video, he doesn't really verge on it. Consider this to be an essay by someone in the business of publishing his thoughts about stuff. The hawaiian shirt is his new thing. He wishes not to be taken as a stuck up academic or doctor. He does a good job of not being so, if you watch enough of his videos.

    @taiwan_girl we’ve had great experiences with Airbnb too. Mrs Phibes does the research and without exception has found great places. Last month six of us stayed at one in Mund’s Park, Arizona and it was just wonderful.

Drunkenness is established when the upper extremity becomes too anesthetized to lift the bier can. I saw what you did there.

    @Jolly said in The Unicorn: @taiwan_girl said in The Unicorn: I remember reading a story/video about pianists who play when singers come in to audition. They give the pianist the song they want to sing, and expect the pianist to be able to do it right away. And they pretty much always do. The interesting thing was that pianists who are able to do that are usually very very good at crossword puzzles. My wife is very, very good at crossword puzzles. Interesting how the brain works. There must be some relationship in thinking between gifted piano players and gifted crossword puzzle workers

    @Horace said in Sri Lanka unrest: This sort of real world example could be learned from. But alas, MMT experts are impervious to evidence, numbers, logic, and common sense. They do not learn.
