This is all the evidence you need that this statement is false.

For me personally, absolutely. I assign manual IP addresses to all devices in my house, I run a dynamic DNS service through my router, I use Quality of Service features to prioritize gaming/streaming traffic over web traffic, and I run a home media server that requires port forwarding.

Some of those features were…

I had fios for a year and wasn’t a fan of their modem/router combo they gave me. I was able to disable the wireless function of the provided modem and then plug my own router into the Fios provided modem. However, to do this you need to be comfortable assigning your router a static IP within the Fios modem’s…

Same here man, got out of that cubicle and now work for a small satellite office for a non-profit, private university. Getting out of that corporate, micro-managing environment and into a place that values my time as much as I do is worth every bit of the 10% less I make. Simple things like it being ok to take long…

Beer is cheaper at the new Whole Foods near me in VA. Not the bottles though, just the ones on tap. They have an oyster bar with about 12 taps and they do growler fills. Went this weekend just to see what it was about since it opened less than a month ago. Grabbed a 22 oz bottle of local beer and then noticed I could…

I got the 55 inch version 3 months ago and it looks very crisp, even with 1080p content. While there is little 4k content, it is a future-proofing measure. Plus there is 4k video on Youtube that is amazing to show off the screen capability.

Regarding gaming, most new tv’s have a gaming mode to reduce screen latency by…

Greenify is a great app for doing just this. I have it set to disable any app of my choosing within 5 minutes of phone lock. The app won’t restart until I manually start it again. Further, apps that use the built in Google push notifications can still send/receive notifications even while disabled. There are a lot of…

I drink pumpkin beers because my wife does and I won’t let a beer go through my house that I don’t at least get to try. She swears the Schlafly pumpkin is amazing and one of her favorites of all beer. I think it’s too sweet.

I’d prefer something along the lines of Heavy Seas’ Greater Pumpkin. At 10% it lets the booze…

I don’t know the installation issues that may exist with your current system, but a tankless water heater is amazing. It only heats on demand so its not running constantly. Ours is gas but I don’t know if there is an electric option. Obviously this requires having a natural gas line.

We just moved into our home and…

And now the guy that 2 manned VoG and solo’d Crota has put up his video of him soloing this challenge. His youtube channel I believe is called The Legend Himself, his GT is SC slayerage.

I didn’t make it to Zwanze day this year but I can definitely attest to the hype. There is a large and ever growing craft beer scene in the Hampton Roads area of VA. One of the best beer bars in the country is in Norfolk, The Birch.

They have been a Zwanze bar I think for 3 years running. It’s the culmination of a…

I don’t need a chart to tell me that if you get a bachelors in music and then a masters in music you still make zero money.

There have been great strides made in the last 5-6 years to simplify the student loan process and not make them such a burden after graduating. The income contingent, income based, and pay as you earn repayment plans are great for this.

Not a chance in hell I’m giving up my chance to qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. My wife has been in the Air Force for 5 years and I’ve worked for a non-profit university for nearly 3 years. We both got master’s degrees straight out of the gate and owe a combined $130k, even with both of us receiving…

Invest in good vacuum cleaners. My wife fought me on it 5 years ago but now she agrees it was the right decision to get a Dyson. It’s still going strong and it’s factory warranty just expired. The only issue I’ve had with it was a plastic clip broke that held the attachments on the whose. They sent a replacement no…

How has no one posted this:

I came here to see if anyone had linked this yet. The Brave’s announcers couldn’t believe he had turned on a ball that high and in from Strasburg.

So wait... abortion isn’t covered by TRICARE? (disclosure: my wife has been in the Air Force for 5 years, we are trying to get pregnant). It seems to me to be counterproductive. They will fully fund a pregnancy, my wife’s first commander jokes his first baby cost him $15 for lunch at the hospital on delivery day. Yet,…

I give you a photo from a college football game last season. My alma mater, East Carolina, vs North Carolina (UNC). Ironically, ECU’s school colars are purple and gold. The best part of course was that we won by scoring 70 points on them.

Came here to recommend this one as well. Others we’ve had have mildewed and rusted in less than a year but this one still looks new after 2 years. It’s highly adjustable, we had it in a 8 foot high shower and then moved to a house with a bench in the shower so now it’s only 5 feet tall. Shelves hold everything we need…
