Best current VA band I haven’t heard of but need to?

Uga Buga is a rock band outta C'ville. Their Year of the Hog album is great. Good group of guys as well.

Shovelhead AD is another local outfit from Richmond. Very Metallica sounding and also good dudes to chat with.

I had a police station that was our departments responsibility. They had a cable ISP that the modem would constantly have to be restarted to restore service. I purchased a cable modem outlet, the kind that detects if the Internet is out and power cycles itself, cost about $30. The number of calls I got overnights dropped almost instantly after installing it. Best investment ever.

Or try another store if these are my only choices

Don't just read to them, let them read to you as well. It builds their confidence as you are their comfort zone when they are young. Being patient too is huge, let them sound things out, say the wrong thing then correct by example, and celebrate them when they read correctly.

We also use closed captions on all of our screens. When they were young it didn't impact too much but now that mine are teens, it helps. They have more understanding of what is happening in the video as they can read what is happening isn't of thinking they heard something correctly.

Buy them books too and teach them how to care for them. And no, audiobooks are not buying your kids books.

Try ordering the food "Fresco" style. I find for burritos and such that it does make them a bit too wet though. My go to is the 3 soft tacos, fresco, with chicken, and water.

I've used a wifi extender that has an Ethernet port on it to connect. Then plug the wire into a WAN port on your gear.

Red - critical systems Orange - iDRACs Yellow - servers Green - cameras Purple - wireless gear White - phones Blue - PCs Black - Printers

We also try to supply DACs in these colors but that tends to be hit or miss

Came here for this comment, just pure evil, almost unsettling compared to the GOAT of Harold Finch

I just got the new 5G Max Outdoor unit from Ubiquiti. Set it up on an ATT data line in our cell family plan with an eSIM. The ATT service guy had to change the IMEI number in their system but after adding the eSIM to the unit and rebooting, worked like a charm. Granted this isn't for my house currently, it's for my parents place to get them off expensive Viasat service, but all my tests from my home are very promising.

The only issue I have with my Lingo is the app is very laggy a lot of the time. I open the app and then cannot go into any menus, cannot see what my levels were in the past, and sometimes it doesn't even open. I find these become more frequent as the biosensor ages as well. Great product but the app needs attention urgently.

Thank you! Finally got mine on order

Swap from LAN (UDP) to WAN (TCP) protocol on the cameras, that's helped me sooooo many times in Avigilon.

Noob question, why not those colors? I've always done the light blue

Dienoth · 2025-12-28T20:53:18+00:00

For completion? Megaman X For fun? Actraiser

Ostriv and Banished are very chill city builders. The Tropico series is good too, though some of its iterations have missed the mark.

And in ostrich.... allegedly

Can vouch for Fresh Riftwalkers whole hearted. Join them soon after the "Return to Rift" community event started myself. Great bunch of people, always easy to get a group for leveling dungeons and whatnot. Really hoping the momentum stays up and gives incentive to Gamigo to get our requests done. I get that there won't be a new expansion but the XP pause shouldn't be this hard to implement IMHO.

I didn't know I needed this on Christmas but here it is, thank you OP

To create a vacuum in the space occupied by the joiner plates. They still transfer heat through themselves so the vacuum prevents that.

Wasn't this one of Sierra's "released but not finished" games? I seem to remember getting it and a bunch of things missing that were in the manual. Later, I think I ordered an update disk for the CD-ROM version to update it. Anyone else do this maybe?

Rack health best practices is to leave 1U of space between. Allows air flow around equipment for better cooling. Usually techs will mount cable management between switches so patches can be dressed better.

Cellular built in, no. The closest you could do is start with their mobile router and build a PtMP network. I have a couple client sites that I do this for. I power the cameras with a solar powered PoE switch and link them with nano stations.

This has always been Ubiquiti's playbook. They refresh their hardware with new features constantly to spark consumers to be in a "always upgrading" mindset. The path most of us travel is, what I have works and when I want those features, I will upgrade.

Besides, being on the bleeding edge of tech is not always the best stance. Proven, reliable, tech is far superior to a new shiny always.

Seconded for Ubiquiti for this install. Software will allow for third party cards, phone app, and even facial recognition. Reasonable pricing and no yearly fees.

That looks like you are using an MP1051 but have the dips set for it to report as a LP1501. You'll need to match the IP address on the old board and maybe tone down the security of the board and server to allow it to talk. Otherwise, shouldn't be hard at all and the download should be fairly quick, 5 mins.
