“while we we’re playing cards” - maybe you should be yelled at!

Unless you have a particularly exotic cutting board, if it’s already to the point where shit is getting inside it just toss it and get a new one and take care of it from day 1. I have a few and they were all about $10-25 so you’re not exactly breaking the bank and you’re saving yourself a lot of trouble. If it’s…

I think it comes down to how much you use your cutting board(s). Almost every single meal I make (and I make from scratch almost everything I eat during the week) requires the use of a cutting board for at least one ingredient. My plastic/composite ones would never last very long, start to get fuzzy and scarred, and…

I can also confirm that this makes a world of difference. I used to take notes on my laptop or phone, and got called out a few times pretty harshly for not paying attention or being disrespectful or whatever. Now, I typically will bring my laptop or other device to a meeting in case I need to look something up or…

Most things in life are negotiable one way or another, and you don’t get what you don’t ask for. The key is to be respectful of the person you’re asking above all, and to be willing to compromise and frame the request as mutually beneficial in some way.

It’s worth noting that for the cell boosting part, there is a physically separate antenna that must be mounted on the exterior of the vehicle and a cable that must be hard-wired between it and the phone mount inside.

In NYC many of these doors are locked anyway. I usually make my way through a car, wait until the next stop, then hop out and hop in to the next car, repeating as necessary.

Re: shielded - make sure you pay attention to the grounding details and use shielded terminations, otherwise you’ve got a nice long antenna running parallel with your unshielded Cat!

Huh - well, most of my networking experience in the past 8-9 years has been in the context of high end residential and small business (e.g. the office of the doctor/lawyer/trader whose house I did, boutique hotels, etc). This problem was particularly prevalent with earlier Broadcom devices (Crestron TPMC panels), got…

WiFi extenders kill your bandwidth, because it uses half to communicate back to the head end and the other half to broadcast to you.

As far as positioning, remember it’s just RF which is easily blocked by stone and metal. In other words, if there is a bathroom or kitchen between AP and client - tile, metal-backed mirror, appliances - you’re gonna have a bad time (probably).

Get as straight a connection as possible - plug straight into the outlets with no conditioners/filters or extension cords. You’ll get a significant drop if they are on different panels (as opposed to different circuits on the same panel), but for what an electrician would charge to rewire the panel(s) you could…

I disagree with the second paragraph about using the same SSID. Most devices will *NOT* be smart enough to switch APs on their own in any acceptable fashion and will hang on for dear life until the signal drops below a preset threshold - some client devices have a “sticky” setting to adjust this threshold but many do…

I would add that if you live in a particularly remote area that requires a directional antenna, a decent compass will help get it aimed exactly right so that it can tolerate a little wind or vibration and not lose signal, as opposed to locking it down right on the edge of a good signal. Even more helpful would be a…

So you only saw her in Phantom of the Opera and actually like her?? I can’t understand this. Literally every single other person in that cast blows. her. the. fuck. away. Not only can she not sing at a level higher than “that girl at the karaoke bar who was really good” but she cannot emote for shit verbally or…

If you’re applying for a mid-level job at a large company and don’t have an inside man, there’s a very good chance that you’re a fluffer anyway, regardless of the difficulty of the interview - i.e., one of a few candidates that are “interviewed” for the sole purpose of the company appearing to search fairly for…

Where does AutoCAD fall on the intensity spectrum? I’ve always thought it was on par with Adobe CC in terms of real-world memory usage, but my gut tells me that an extra 8GB would help out tremendously.

Not here to cast a vote, but to point out that for the most part the desk itself doesn’t matter, as it’s just a base. The accessories and utilization are what make a desk great, and most of them can be added on if you have a solid base. Monitor mounts, keyboard/peripheral trays & shelves, articulating mount for…

NEVER, EVER, EVER confront* the cheater alone prior to your friend knowing. You will get thrown under the bus, accused of trying to hit on him/her yourself, stalking and she was meeting up with her guy friend because you made her feel unsafe following her around, etc.
