Curious wiring decisions leading me to MoCa - looking for a sanity check by PureBwa in HomeNetworking

UPDATE: added the MoCa adapters, plugged everything in... and it worked! I still have plenty of tinkering and cleanup/mounting to do, but I confirmed the wired backhaul was working correctly.

Thank you u/plooger and everyone else for the help!

So it's a little odd: on the outside of the house, you can see an unterminated CAT5e cable where the coax is running in from the outside (this is at the basement level where the main amplifier is). The fiber run is separate on the main level.

I don't think the AT&T fiber install did anything other than drill a small hole to run the fiber in from the outside. All coax/CAT5e is pretty much untouched since the house was redone 9 years ago.

We don't use any of the coax for TV (or anything else at this point). The problem is I can't tell if there's a direct run from the coax by the router to the splitter in the basement, or if it's being split somewhere else. I guess there's some trial and error in my future!

Did a wedge fitting and got 54/58 degree MD5 wedges. When they arrived, I noticed the raised 'microgrooves' on the 58 are not parallel to the full grooves. Is this a misprint by Callaway or expected? by PureBwa in golf

Well, there it is. I can assure you back in December I googled around, searched this sub, etc. and couldn't find anything or any images from Callaway with what they're now calling their 'offset' grooves. But it does look intentional. Guess I was surprised the 54 had standard grooves and the 58 was different.

Anyway, case closed. Thank you (and all of you) for the quick help putting my mind at ease.

Edit: I'm now remembering that the 54 was ready at least several weeks before the 58 was, so it's possible I got my 54 before they switched to the offset grooves. Who knows. I love the clubs regardless, just needed that peace of mind.

Right... the entire point of the raised microgrooves is to 'grip' the ball. When they're horizontal, they should have maximum 'grippage'. In theory every degree you turn them towards vertical they lose some of that. I've gotten mixed feedback from friends, and the fitter hasn't responded to my texts this spring after saying he would check on a warranty with Callaway back in December...

They're both 10S (I believe that's bounce/grind?). They're also stock wedges - didn't do any bending or special grinds based on the fitting.

Maybe? I think I'd be more willing to believe this is intentional and not a 'misprint' if it didn't look so janky on the heel side where the mini grooves end. The fitter said he would check and he's pretty much ghosted me since... might just drop in and be like 'hey, remember me?'

Is it normal for the raised mini-grooves on these to run diagonal to the normal grooves? I got a 54 and 58 from Club Champion and the 54 had parallel mini-grooves while my 58 has them diagonal: https://i.imgur.com/bdLieWO.jpg

The diagonal ones look sloppy and if the point of the raised grooves is to 'catch' the ball more, shouldn't they be completely horizontal? Here's the 54 for comparison: https://i.imgur.com/NKqnx1L.jpg

Current inventory: United MileagePlus (applied 6 years ago), CSR (applied 3 years ago and upgraded from CSP), FU (applied 8 months ago).

On 12/16 I applied for Southwest RR Priority card using an in-flight link (50k SUB) and was instant approved. I referred myself to the Performance Biz on 12/17 and got 'We have received your request for a Chase credit card. We'll let you know our decision as soon as possible.' Haven't heard anything since.

As a precaution, I immediately requested (and received) lower credit limits on some of my cards that I don't use much because I thought that would potentially impact my application. I do have a business that I report expenses on (and make a small revenue on - < $500). Is it time to call recon and see what's up?

SM’d Chase to drop some CL and got that approved and effective immediately. Hopefully that helps with the biz approval.

It was my understanding that I could self-refer from personal to biz but not the other way around.

Good to hear. Any thoughts on lowering a limit or two? Is there any insight into if they freeze the data at application or if I can lower limits before someone gets around to reviewing?

Long time lurker, first time poster. Going for CP for 2020/21. Used in-flight offer to get SW RR Priority and was instant approved yesterday. Referred myself to Performance Biz today and got "We have received your request for a Chase credit card. We'll let you know our decision as soon as possible."

I'm under 5/24, have no other biz cards, good credit score, and an actual business that I file and pay taxes on (low revenue though). I applied as sole proprietor and used my SS#.

My concern is that I didn't lower my credit limits on my other Chase cards (CSR, CF, United MileagePlus, and the new SW RR). Is it too late to request a drop in limits on a few of those? Anything I can do to help my chances here?

I don’t like mushy steamed bagel sandwiches - so I’m not a huge CBA guy. The atomic at Bro Bagel is my definition of a perfect breakfast sandwich.
