  1. I've had eero for over a year now and no issues. Router, and one beacon. If you are using the garbage router the cable company gives you, then whatever you buy will seem great.
  2. I parked a substantial amount (to me anyway) in VBIAX. I'm not particularly risk tolerant, and it has the proper asset mix to diversify at my (and my wife's) age with one fund. I also have a bit of money in VTI which I am funding from dividends on the VBIAX fund.

    The Beer Thread

    Depends on what flavor you want. Do you want a heavy banana/clove flavor? or do you want a hopped up wheat? What do you consider a wheat beer lacking flavor?
  4. First, because they filed in the wrong jurisdiction. Second, some of the delay is waiting for the blood work. In WI that takes like 6 months.
  5. Might be worth mentioning that in most states a breathalyzer is not admissible in court. It can only be used to gain reasonable suspicion along with other factors. Trying to glean details of a curve argument based on a breathalyzer is kinda tough since it has a degree of error. Bit of free legal advice: if you are pulled over, NEVER tell police you were drinking. No matter how drunk you are, and ALWAYS agree to all tests. Get a lawyer and they can make up a curve argument. Anyway, to me, and as I said before, if he were black, he would have been beat or shot. Literally, everything about his demeanor, and his stance against kneeling during the anthem says everything about him. He wants blacks to have their hands at 10 and 2 and obey all commands of the officer, but he does whatever he wants. How he represents this team is hard to understand.
  6. Uh...i think the story is that if a black guy did at a traffic stop, the cop would have his gun drawn and beat the hell out of him.
  7. 100%. Plus it is clear that he will have no accountability.
  8. WI has NOT been called. That tweet was fake. Well fake is the wrong word, but it hasn’t been called.
  9. 1. Why was the joke inappropriate then? By what standard? 2. Why, in his view, can't she have her shoulders showing? Why make the joke? How is it not degrading for a woman to have her clothes criticized by a man who doesn't face the same standard? And I've listened to him forever. He doesn't continue to get into these messes because he respects other people. I'm not here to convince you that jokes like this are wrong, but your defense of McNeil doesn't make any sense. It cannot be both inappropriate, but also harmless.
  10. I'm not convinced that's the same thing. To think that he doesn't go to industry conventions or have porn stars on for his own enjoyment, or to drive ratings, rather than some self-less act of feminism is nuts. People use services on the regular while looking down on those who perform them. I really cannot wrap my head around a way to read his tweet that isn't an attempt to judge a woman on a standard men do not face.
  11. No. The tweet shows that McNeil thinks lesser of people in that industry, and then compared Taylor to them.
  12. A lot of places have moratoriums on foreclosures and evictions. And given that courts are mostly closed, there isn't much landlords can do.
  13. This is all to keep one conservative judge on the state Supreme Court.
  14. I am only shopping where I can use Apple Pay.
  15. Local governments look to the feds on national health issues. Local health departments deal with food licensing and hoarders etc. Not pandemics. The response falls to the feds. Did the states decline the WHO tests? No.

    Nest vs Ring

    What other technology ecosystems are you in? How will each work with that?

    Law/Legal Thread

    I guess the big question is do you think there has been anything about your time there that could give rise to a claim? What are the circumstances of the last off? You don’t have to answer but those are things to consider. What are the chances you are going to sue them? What are the chances you’d get more out of a lawsuit than the severance amount? Also I’m sorry that you have to go through this. That sucks.

    A release of what and for what?
  19. If that was true, then why trade him for Steele Walker? I like the trade a lot, but there has to be more to the story. If changes the Rangers made were working, then trading him seems dumb.
  20. I think it sounds like Moncada. Changing his hitting approach was an off season adjustment, and doing what he did in the minors wasn't enough. It makes me wonder if the Sox think having Mazara around guys who have made that jump will help.
  21. This image is from a CNN story on Rise of the Resistance. I think Mandalorian used red eyes because the theme park robots will have red eyes.
  22. If you request the desktop version in safari it works. Weird. You can do that in the menu on the left of the url address.
  23. Since May 12 his BABIP has .371 and he has posted a .782 OPS. Since June 1, he also has a .371 BABIP but an .842 OPS. I'm not sure how sustainable a .371 BABIP is for McCann, but he's been productive even at a level below .400.

    Job Thread

    How are you going to advance when you always need someone to draw out the timelines of a project and set expectations with this amount of clarity? You can't be a manager with these needs, so how do you define "advancement"? And how do you take on projects that have never been tried before where progress cannot be so readily defined? What value are you bringing to the company? What you see as reasonable are the things that every employee wants, but eventually understands they won't always receive, so we all learn to work within that uncertainty and set our own timelines to accomplish goals based on experience. That's what managers expect. Failure is acceptable if you learn from it and correct it in the future. You don't seem capable of handling that. Career advancement is always subjective, and has as much to do with personality as experience and technical ability. You really need to find a way into a government position with civil service protections and position criteria so getting fired requires process, and advancement and raises are a little more defined.
