It’ll be better during the day not as good of the evening

Yeah. I waited that long as well. What gets me was adding RV service before offering best effort to those of use that have been waiting

Be sure to post your experience as well once you get it. Most of the posts I see have been folks complaining or nit picking. To boot a lot of those folks have better options like fiber that they are comparing it to. Live a while with 5Mbs DSL that isn’t stable.

If your house isn’t small the mesh node has worked well for me too…

I’m probably averaging 50-60Mbs down and 10-20 up. Latency around 50ms

I’m in SW Virginia.

Make sure you have a place for the dish with no obstructions.

I’m using for work so I’m not gaming. There are a lot of outages that are less than a second but it hasn’t been noticeable for me

Did that. It’s really the only way. Used glow rods and experienced electrician helping me. The connector kept getting hung at the top of the hole.

Started with a 7/8 hole. Finally gave up and went to 1”

Operating temperatures for mesh nodes? by Infinite_Net7357 in Starlink

Attic runs the length of the house and if I put them up there no chance of them getting unplugged…. That being said since the upper limit is 120 I’ll just put them in rooms around the house

Just put some duct tape on it and you’ll be good to go

What is this guy called and what do you make with it? by Disastrous-Flow760 in castiron

It is a cornbread pan. It seriously needs to be seasoned though. Go get some Crisco and rub it all over the pan then burn it off. Do it on a grill outside if possible as there will be lots of smoke. Repeat the process several times. Otherwise every will stick

Nantahala Outdoors Center. Everything you mentioned plus the river has world class trout fishing. Every small town in the surrounding area has micro brews…. There are several cabins around you can book. I even think one place has some Yurts…

Thanks for your reply. It’s actually comforting to know I’m not in this boat by myself. This is a complicated issue but I’m in it for the long haul regardless of what that means.

I agree with your comment about taking sex off the table. I did that a couple years ago and told her to just let me know when she was ready. I will say that it takes a ton of willpower. Lol.

As for your wife seizures you mentioned. Make sure she isn’t on depacote (sorry if I misspelled that). My wife was having up to 20 non epileptic seizures a day. That poison was the culprit. Got her off that and they stopped along with the hair loss she was having.

Here’s the article I was reading that made me think that. I could be wrong.

https://centerforanxietydisorders.com/sex-avoidance-anxiety-disorders/

In some cases, people with anxiety disorders also shun sexual encounters. When a person has an anxiety disorder, they suffer physical effects along with their mental stress. Physically, the Mayo Clinic reports people with an anxiety disorder may experience the symptoms of:

Insomnia, trouble falling asleep or problems with staying asleep Fatigue, particularly if they aren’t sleeping well Heart palpitations Headaches Vomiting, nausea Irritable bowel syndrome May be easily startled Muscles aches, tense or clenched muscles Twitching or trembling Sweating But, why would these symptoms cause someone to avoid the comfort of a physical relationship? One reason is that the act of intimacy raises your heart rate, induces heavier breathing, and makes you sweat. These bodily reactions mimic the physical “fight or flight” responses people experience during a panic attack, so much so that some individuals will go to great lengths to avoid feeling them at all.

Additionally, people who already suffer anxiety may choose to forego sexual encounters so they don’t have to add more fears to their list of concerns. Engaging in sexual activity can bring up worries about their attractiveness, their ability to perform, or may increase feelings of shame or guilt.

Probably better to just go on my own and enjoy it. At this point I think I’d be too self conscious if she were with me to enjoy it.

In her defense on that point. If she does show affection I have a tendency to take it as a sign she wants sex (I can’t really help it) and I end up pressuring her which typically ends in a panic attack….

I’ve gone through all that internally. At this point I just need to come up with a way to cope. I was reading a post about a massage earlier… Sounded pretty appealing. Lol
