I love this. David, how much does the existing coax quality (age, RG6 vs RG59, connectors, couplers, splitter, etc) come into play? Is it pretty forgiving, or only as good as its weakest point?

I will absolutely respect your gender identity pronouns. I completely understand that gender isn’t necessarily binary. I will offer nothing but respect to you as a person who is worthy of respect.

I wish Adobe had a solution for the occasional user. I need actual Photoshop for about two hours a month. The free apps here are awesome, but I’d love a viable option for an occasional use of PS, ID and Acrobat Pro.

True or false: If you wash down a bunch of Pop Rocks with 7-up, you’re gonna die.

Nope.

Wisconsin is absolutely embarrassed by this tool. He’s always been a stooge for corporate interests, but the synaptic misfires of the last 4 years have been staggering to the point where I really wonder (from a medical standpoint) if he’s losing his sh*t. At least that would explain it.

While there are certainly differences in formats and bitrates, here’s a little secret: The real factor in audio quality happens at the recording, mixing and mastering stage.

This is all really awesome advice. I’ve recently been through a similar scenario with my brother when his Mac Mini’s hard drive crashed. After working with images (both professionally and personally) for more than two decades, I’d advise anyone to accept these three things as pure truth:

Macrium Reflect FTW.

David, what are your thoughts on the days of wi-fi being somewhat numbered, mostly as honest-to-goodness 5G rolls out over the next 3-5 years? With the incredible bandwidth offered by true 5G, why would I even want to connect to wi-fi? I mean, envision a modern laptop with a built-in 5G adapter (instead of/in addition…

If nothing else, the House (as the Congressional institution of “of the people”) will go on record with “This is not OK. The conduct of the President is unacceptable.”

I’d casually ask him what happens to Bigfoot bodies after they die. His answer to that should indicate where he is on the crazy scale.

Conspiracy theories fall apart in two places:

The usage and context matters. Jesus Christ was undoubtedly a great guy—honorable, just, kind, defender of the weak and down-trodden. But if I used his image for urinal mats, it would be patently offensive. 

Young professional (singular): tolerable, probably even nice

I don’t think there are worthless degrees, but there is definitely a lack of personal responsibility and basic math skills. If you rack up $100,000+ of debt — I don’t care what it’s for — with no idea or plan about how you’re going to pay it off, why would you expect a bail-out? Would you extend the same privilege to…

I can’t get past the fact that the Magnum (as a model) is just ugly, with a capital H.

Because when it’s attached to the door frame, the openings in the strike plate are vertical—meaning you’d have to hold the bottle sideways and thus spill a bunch of liquid. If you remove it, you can use it like a traditional bottle opener.

My go-to is to use a screwdriver to remove the metal strike plate from a door frame and use it like a traditional bottle opener.

I always keep a bunch of these around for Trick-Or-Treaters.
