Tech advice..what do you guys think of this router? Been having streaming issues and video game connection issues... -- (link) - Remlik Feb 24, 11:57 7
- The C7 reaches our bedroom on 5GHZ. It's probably 20 feet from the router through an external wall. - spamlet Feb 24, 12:12 2
  - our C5 gets us 55-60MB/s about 30 feet from the router (and up one floor) - ML Feb 24, 12:14 1
    - I thankfully got rid of the repeater once we went to an AC router. Had it unplugged for weeks when my wife complained it was out. - spamlet Feb 24, 12:27
- I have the AC1750 - it works very well. -- nm - decline Feb 24, 12:01
- I have this one and it's fantastic, and cheaper than the one you linked. - Shaun Feb 24, 11:59 1

    - ahh, I thought he was a FA. cool. -- nm - Beaker Feb 24, 12:07
- Wait, not Duncan? Who was a 1st team all NBA player his rookie year? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 24, 11:58 3
  - It's close. KAT is at 23.06 currently. Looks like Duncan was 22.6. Shaq 22.9. -- (link*) - ML Feb 24, 12:02 2
    - This is the stuff that makes me question stats - Will Hunting Feb 24, 12:13 1
      - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - ML Feb 24, 12:15

- they'd rather shoot themselves in the foot than do their job. -- nm - Diva Feb 24, 11:57 2
  - This just adds to the pressure of "So when Hillary wins you'll rubber stamp her nominees because it's the will of the people, right?" - Max Feb 24, 12:00 1
    - J stews main running gag was showing clips of pols and fox news saying one thing during bush era, exact opposite during Obama. ..so nobody cares -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 24, 13:22

Any chance someone jumps into the republican primary, old school republican? or even Bloomberg? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 24, 11:53 3
- Impossible, they've missed too many primary deadlines. If anything they'd have to go "third party". -- nm - Ender Feb 24, 11:57
- at this stage, zero chance -- nm - decline Feb 24, 11:54
- no -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 24, 11:54

- I'm surprised loosi didn't show up -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 24, 13:19
- 24 days 20 hrs - ReluctantCynic Feb 24, 12:13 1

- This person is the Son of God and a dirty Hippie. -- nm - Beaker Feb 24, 11:52
[deleted] 23
- I'd be tempted. (Most likely I wouldn't vote altogether.) - Name Withheld by Request Feb 24, 11:56 11
  - Your IM is why I won't vote Hillary. And why I won't vote Trump. - ML Feb 24, 11:59 10
    - not voting for Trump is a functional vote for Hillary -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 24, 12:00 8
      - I disagree. While it's true that withholding support from Trump will probably cause Hillary to win ... - Beryllium Feb 24, 12:05
      - Not exactly. A vote for Hillary instead of Trump is sort of a 2 vote swing. Not voting at all is a 1 vote swing. -- nm - pmb Feb 24, 12:04 5
        
        Not voting for either in MN is completely inconsequential. -- nm - ML Feb 24, 12:05 4
        
        My argument to the contrary though would be that if you really want your vote to mean something you send a message by the size of Trump's defeat. - pmb Feb 24, 12:15
        
        Ah, flyover states. - Beryllium Feb 24, 12:08 2
        
        Hell, Minnesota was the only state to vote Mondale (and just barely....) and he was from there! -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 24, 12:18
        
        Naw, Democratic state. MN hasn't gone GOP for the longest stretch of any other state. -- nm - ML Feb 24, 12:09
      - (shhh) -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 12:02
    - Ooh, my Green Party vote's going to have a chance this time! -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 24, 11:59
- Surely not. - Epiphany Feb 24, 11:49 10
  - [deleted] 3
    - I think some will. Or vote some third party. Some might even go to Hillary -- nm - pmb Feb 24, 11:57 1
      - [deleted]
    - its a viable option -- nm - Epiphany Feb 24, 11:56
  - But have you stopped to wonder who they are even pulling for at this point? -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 11:51 5
    - I do wonder - ST said in the past that when push comes to shove the adult republicans will come out and get the job done - Epiphany Feb 24, 11:58 4
      - I think the mainstream Republicans completely misunderestimated Donald Trump's authoritarian appeal. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 24, 12:15
      - secretly, as a politico buff I'm dying to see Trump get the nomination. As a functioning adult I am frightened. - Mel Profit Feb 24, 12:04
      - I think "Adult Republicans" are a myth. -- nm - TWuG Feb 24, 12:00 1
        
        Hey, if millenials don't have to adult if they don't feel like it, why should politicians? -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 12:13
"Mayo Clinic is going to live stream a colonoscopy on Periscope" - ML Feb 24, 11:46 2
- I feel bad for the guy who is going to get an iphone up his rectum. -- nm - pmb Feb 24, 11:53
- Do Not Want. -- nm - Negabaronic Middle-Aged Forehead Feb 24, 11:52
Just because of the headline.....Blow Jobs Are Good for a Woman’s Health and Help Fight Depression....(link) -- (link) - Walt_Disney Feb 24, 11:46 1
- This will be the key plank in Trump's health plan -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 24, 13:33
Because my job rocks, I've just put in an order for a JOBY tripod. - Mop Feb 24, 11:42
Groiny, to be honest, I was Rambo-ing a lot more last night because of how good DoP is. Shotgun all the time too, even on Shores of Time. -- nm - Shaun Feb 24, 11:38 20
- MIDA - Spawn Feb 24, 11:40 19
  - Suros for the real men. -- nm - Remlik Feb 24, 11:43 18
    - Mida, Doctrine of Passing, Last Word, Nirwens Mercy, Reflection Sum, ari-45, the last IB Scout. -- nm - groiny Feb 24, 11:48 7
      - I have yet to have a chance to play around with my RSum yet. Need to do that. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 11:50 1
        
        it depends on the perks. I like pulse rifles, so they work well for me. -- nm - groiny Feb 24, 11:51
      - Hakkon's Hatchet, Red Death, then maybe Suros -- nm - groiny Feb 24, 11:49 4
        
        and if you were a Warlock, I would put Tlaloc up there right after MIDA -- nm - groiny Feb 24, 11:50 3
        
        I need to get that. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 11:55 2
        
        I use MIDA until I get my Warlock super up, then I switch to Tlaloc. - groiny Feb 24, 11:56 1
        
        Yeah, just watched a vid on Tlaloc. - Spawn Feb 24, 12:01
    - Suros is not even top 10, buddy -- nm - groiny Feb 24, 11:44 9
      - that's cause you're all pussy's. It's a solid weapon. -- nm - Remlik Feb 24, 11:52 8
        
        give me a MIDA and you take Suros, I will beat you 9 out of 10 times. -- nm - groiny Feb 24, 11:54
        
        If you like handicapping yourself, then by all means, keep using the SUROS Regime. -- nm - Shaun Feb 24, 11:53
        
        how much crucible do I play???? - groiny Feb 24, 11:53 5
        
        Oh I get it I do. -- nm - Remlik Feb 24, 12:00 4
        
        there are worse weapons to use, but I think if you used a Nirwens Mercy pulse, you would never touch Suros again -- nm - groiny Feb 24, 12:07 3
        
        Dude, it is his new Badger. - Spawn Feb 24, 12:11 2
        
        Badger, also better than the Suros. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 24, 12:59
        
        personal choice is important too, I get that. -- nm - groiny Feb 24, 12:13
"Normally I have a lot of shit to say, but I don't today. So ya'll can ask questions." -- nm - Bruce Arians begins his Combine presser Feb 24, 11:34 1
- I would watch a Arians/Pop buddy comedy. - ML Feb 24, 11:35
Michael Moore says Toronto garbage is a factor in Flint. - Andie Feb 24, 11:32 2
- Blame Canada! -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 11:33 1

At least one student won't be going to school in Texas due to campus carry law. -- (link) - znufrii Feb 24, 11:27 3
- Looks they lost out on some faculty members too. They can always choose to go to private colleges in Texas if they want to avoid it -- nm - Epiphany Feb 24, 11:46
- not everything is news -- nm - ML Feb 24, 11:30 1
  - this is pretty rich -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 24, 11:39
Does anyone step aside before Tuesday to concentrate support against Trump? -- nm - zork Feb 24, 11:24 32
- [deleted]
- the fallacy with this thinking is assuming 100% of the dropper-out's support goes to the remaining non-Trump candidate - sweet baboo Feb 24, 11:43 6
  - There was talk yesteday that Trump's ceiling was 35%...and then he got 45% - Will Hunting Feb 24, 11:49 2
    - (Right, in the state that is basically Donald Trump as a state.) -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 24, 12:00
    - To be fair he got 45% in one state. But I could see a lot of Cruz's and Carson's support going to Trump. -- nm - pmb Feb 24, 11:54
  - But then why are polls showing that Trump loses in a 1v1 race? -- nm - Max Feb 24, 11:49
  - I think this was shown that Jeb's leaving would still give Trump about 11% of his support - Will Hunting Feb 24, 11:47
  - [deleted]
- Follow-up question: Can anyone beat Trump if they all stay in until next Tuesday? -- nm - Inigo Feb 24, 11:33 8
  - At this point, no. -- nm - pmb Feb 24, 11:55
  - I think we answered this on board 2. Trump would need to step on a landmine over the next 7 days. -- nm - David Feb 24, 11:34 6
    - the guy that insulted the Pope and campaigns on making latinos 2nd class cits and still gets a 1/3rd of their votes? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 24, 11:44
    - don't jinx it! -- nm - Andie Feb 24, 11:38 1
      - "destructor roulette" is a game I'd rather not play -- nm - ML Feb 24, 11:41
    - He could still step on one after Tuesday and lose. - Max Feb 24, 11:36 1
      - "Red Trump" is great. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 24, 11:44
    - So you're saying there's a chance? -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 11:36
- They would have last night if they were getting out. -- nm - David Feb 24, 11:31
- I doubt either Sen. Rubio or Sen. Cruz are amenable to the idea, but it's good opportunity for Kasich to bolster his chances for a VP nomination. - ReluctantCynic Feb 24, 11:31
- I think Kasich is out shortly. - ML Feb 24, 11:29 6
  - I think Carson's in it for as long as Cruz is. I think he knows he's taking some support from Teddy and wants to f**k him over a bit - Will Hunting Feb 24, 11:32 1
    - I respect him for that -- nm - Epiphany Feb 24, 11:48
  - VP material. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 11:30 1
    - That's my question. It isn't simply staying in or getting out because the VP slot is out there. -- nm - volnelk Feb 24, 11:31
  - I think Kasich wants to stay in for the hugs in Ohio even if he's clearly not going to win his home state. -- nm - Max Feb 24, 11:30 1
    - this -- nm - Diva Feb 24, 11:33
- I think the whole reason everyone's staying in is the opposite of what Trump claimed last night. - Max Feb 24, 11:28
- *raises hand* - Jeb Feb 24, 11:27
- I doubt it. If Cruz wasn't so hated by a majority of the Republican politicians, there might be a chance of this. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 24, 11:26
- I will nobly give up my Republican support. -- nm - Reagen Feb 24, 11:25 2
  - that's very generous of y- Hey, waitaminute! ...why, I oughta .. -- nm - mud Feb 24, 11:28
  - Much appreciated. I'm sure that will do a lot. -- nm - zork Feb 24, 11:27
Giants Head Coach Ben McAdoo: "We have to end the game with the lead." - ML Feb 24, 11:23 7
- His head isn't that big. -- nm - Mop Feb 24, 11:38
- Rubio disagrees -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 24, 11:28
- seems legit -- nm - Epiphany Feb 24, 11:26
- he might be onto something here -- nm - decline Feb 24, 11:26
- hmph! -- nm - coughlin Feb 24, 11:25
- Big, if true. -- nm - Spawn Feb 24, 11:24
- Big, if true... -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 11:24
