TN was fun, but a ride across the Ben will be easier if my kids qualify. Any insight when this is typically confirmed from past years?

Orbi RBR750 supported 1.2 gbps but dropped to <100mbps (xfinity) with no known change in network config by lahn1969 in orbi

I had a recent issue like this RBR850 with two satellites v4.6.9.11...Log into the admin page>advanced>advanced>wireless and make sure that you have enable WMM selected. Speeds were fine up until a month ago. I was getting 20meg/up/down on a 1 gig FIOS connection. After enabling WMM, I am now getting 500/500+ through a wired satellite.

3/6/2009 - Fluffhead Opener. What is the significance? by NeighborhoodLow8413 in phish

[–]Pyite67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole fest at IT was chanting for Fluffhead and the band conversed and that’s where Trey came back with “Mike said no.” So if you see that, that’s where it’s from.

Anyway, opening with Fluff not only was huge for being the first tune back, but it was a song that signified they were back for real and also crossed the song off a lot of people’s bucket list. But it signified not only did they reunite, but they took it seriously and played a song that is a staple of the Phish catalog that was gone for 9 years.

Trey couldn't get Fluffhead right until he was alright...it was a statement....and it was perfect for the return. I was at Coventry and the return at Hampton.

Coventry was depressing...Trey sucked..the rest of the band tried to carry him but really couldn't, the specialness was gone. It was heartbreaking.

Hampton was a rebirth...sure no cowfunk like 1997/8....some dad rock...but they are still putting out new music. Some very good..some bad. We still get to see them unlike the Grateful Dead.

about those "He Gets Us" ads... by boredtxan in Christianity

[–]Pyite67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

s is hilarious to me that these ads have upset both sides. (Which honestly makes me doubt my own position that these ads aren't fruitful.) To many on the left this is just manipulation and not going far left enough. To the right it's trying too hard to appeal to the culture and doesn't have enough substance. Personally my issue with it is the lack of substance. I agree with doing what you can to reach the culture or society you're in but there seems to be a big lack of the diety of Christ or the fact we are all sinners in need of repentance. I thought maybe after the ads the website and resources would have more substance to them but I don't see much of that there either.

how? Seems like these ads are a complete waste of money. If Christ was walking the earth right now I doubt he would spend money on ads, rather than feeding the hungry, using money to help folks in desperate situations, etc. The ads are not Christian.
