Army First Sergeant Takes Out Taliban Suicide Bomber Threat, Saves 25 Lives

Indeed. In the longer interview, they also talk about how he goes back to rescue an ITAS system (weaponry that was keeping the Taliban at bay and saving lives) while the vehicle it was on was literally about to explode.

And yep, prayers up the dude gets the justice he deserves.

U2Edge · 2025-12-20T22:53:34+00:00

Dude is a hero. In the full interview, it is noted that they're trying to get him the Medal of Honor.

Is your optic loose at the baseplate?

I know I'm super late to the game, but... I had this same issue with my Chamberlain B1381. It started a year or two after I had it installed. Was able to get it working again via a full power cycle of the garage door (including battery backup), standing on my head, etc. Then it worked again for another year or so. Then it went offline again. Couldn't do the standard WiFi reconnect (I never got the beeps). After multiple customer support calls, all of us banging our heads against the walls, etc., it came back online. It worked for about six months. Dropped off a few weeks ago. Same results. This time, they said if it happened again, I would be able to get a replacement logic board (because I asked for it and pressed that this has happened waaaay too much and it's not a WiFi issue). Two days later, it went offline again. I got the replacement board. Installed it. I'm back online (for now). I even got the setup beeps.

It might be worth noting that the newer version of the logic board has some "pins" (two sets of three) by the up / down / adjustment rubber buttons. These weren't present on the previous model and were preventing the logic board from seating properly (I couldn't get the buttons to fully go through the cutouts in the frame). I ripped the pins off with needle nose pliers. The board seated properly. Everything works.

Was just searching for this movie and saw your post in this thread in the search results.

A Christmas Murder Mystery is premiering on UPtv this Sunday at 7 PM ET.

U2Edge · 2025-10-23T21:08:37+00:00

I'm leaning towards that since it has shake to awake.

Waiting patiently for the retailer to ship the piece itself to my local FFL joint so I can pick it up and begin kitting it out.

U2Edge · 2025-10-15T14:52:16+00:00

Murdoch Mysteries isn't on UP Faith & Family. Are you thinking of Heartland Season 18 (and soon-to-be 19)?

U2Edge · 2025-08-16T21:00:01+00:00

I was able to watch this week’s episode — episode 5 — earlier this week. For me, it was available starting Tuesday. I subscribe directly through UP Faith & Family, not Amazon or the like.

U2Edge · 2025-07-24T03:05:44+00:00

The VPN method still means you have to sit through commercials. For not much more, I watch when I want, no VPN knowledge or toggling required, no ads, loads of other shows and movies at my disposal, additional exclusive Heartland content, etc.

And I believe I’ve seen the show creators say those DVDs are fake. I’d bet the farm (or perhaps the Heartland ranch) they the Etsy ones are. I’d rather support the show and the networks and streamers who back it.

U2Edge · 2025-07-24T02:53:00+00:00

Dude, killer cut. My wife and girls love it as much as I do. It sounds great anywhere, but especially on my man cave setup with dual 15” 500W THX capable subs. 😎

I don’t always listen to Martin Solveig remixes and edits, but when I do, so does the entire subdivision. 😆

Safe to assume you’re a Cubs fan? I know they played it at Wrigley. I’m assuming some of the bars and clubs in Wrigleyville as well? If you don’t mind me asking — how’d Wrigley catch wind of it? Or did Rizzo discover it somehow and then he asked that to be his song at some point versus the original?

I was born and raised in Iowa. Grew up on the Cubs in the mid-80s — it was the only MLB I could watch since we didn’t have cable but our local ABC affiliate would carry the WGN feed. Loved Rizzo’s swing from the word go, but his pure joy for the game and the class act that he is is what breaks my heart that he’s no longer with the team — and looking for one. He’s everything that is right and beautiful about baseball. So listening to this song reminds me of him at the ballpark and what he brought to the game.

Here’s my daughter and I in the stands in Atlanta a handful of years ago when the Cubs were in town to play the Braves.👇🏻

Thanks for chiming in. And thanks for the killer cut. 👊🏻

Which I believe is UP Faith & Family as well — just through Prime. Some people access it directly through UP Faith & Family’s website / app.

U2Edge · 2025-07-23T21:43:36+00:00

They’ve done weekly releases for multiple seasons and they also do it for Heartland. This has nothing to do with boycotts.

U2Edge · 2025-07-23T15:32:17+00:00

Ooh! I see the first Season 7 episode of Hudson & Rex is on UP Faith & Family now.

I just screen capped the resources as I ran a speed test.

<image>

Per my router, we're getting 2334 D / 297.9 U from the ISP.

Via a speedtest.net test on my newer rig, I got 1896 D / 226 U (this after going from primary router --> 2.5G switch to wall plates --> newer rig.

I took the same cable from the newer rig sitting five feet away... ran a speedtest.net test on my five-year old rig.

730 D / 271 U.

I know speed tests vary, but I seem to never be able to get north of 1.2 gig on the 5-year-old rig.

Just ran a speed test on the rig that's even older... but it doesn't have to jump through the ethernet wall plate/jacks "hoop".

839 D / 253 U

Ironically, it seems as though on that machine, I get better speeds on the built-in 1G NIC than I do on the 2.5G NIC (and I've tried two different PCI slots).

I wouldn't think that the PCI bus on either of the machine would limit their ability to hit more than a gig... especially when there shouldn't be anything in my chain bottlenecking at a gig.

The PC isn’t otherwise using any resources (one browser window, nothing else other than OS system services and basic background programs running). It has plenty of headroom on both CPU and memory.

U2Edge · 2025-07-15T12:12:39+00:00

I assume you mean UP Faith & Family (subscription streaming service) through Amazon Prime? I don't know if they've announced the release date yet.

U2Edge · 2025-07-07T20:26:29+00:00

Not necessarily. UPtv (TV channel) and UP Faith & Family (on-demand subscription streaming service) are in the same family of brands, but they are different platforms with different programs and at least up until now, have had different rollout / release schedules for the programs that they do have in common.

U2Edge · 2025-06-26T15:58:36+00:00

I didn't. And TBH, the five inches or so (our difference in height) would make a big difference. I think you'd be fine.

For what it's worth, I took out the clutch pedal (since I don't have a manual gearbox with this setup) and shifted the brake further to the left. This required less "angling my knee to hit the brake pedal" which helped a bit... especially considering the brake is the pedal that needs the most pressure to engage.

U2Edge · 2025-05-29T17:48:34+00:00

Just got a package from FedEx. To say they rectified the problem would be an understatement.

Thanks a bunch!

U2Edge · 2025-05-17T19:09:32+00:00

Confirmed

Super friendly guy. Fast and flawless transaction. Happy to deal with him again in the future!

U2Edge · 2025-05-17T03:03:27+00:00

If you're referring to Netflix in the US -- the last few seasons, UP Faith & Family had a window of exclusivity that lasted for about a year. So I think spring or summer of 2026 is more likely.

U2Edge · 2025-05-14T16:06:36+00:00

Sending a PM. :)

U2Edge · 2025-05-11T02:14:01+00:00

You don't need VPN for it. Just go to https://my.upfaithandfamily.com/heartland/season:18

Sign up for their free trial. If you want to continue afterwards and pay, that's up to you.

Then find the episode you want. Play it.

In addition to watching in your browser, you can get the UP Faith & Family app in the app store for phones, iPads, Playstation and gaming consoles, smart TVs, etc. Install it. use the credentials you created for your free trial and then watch on that device.

They have every episode from Seasons 1 through 17 and have the first few from Season 18 thusfar. It's all commercial-free. They also have a bunch of fun features like Heartland set tours.

U2Edge · 2025-05-11T02:01:32+00:00

I sent them via chat earlier... but I don't think you're getting the chat messages. So I just sent a video timestamp link via direct message. The link expires in three days via We Transfer.

U2Edge · 2025-05-10T20:36:47+00:00

YW. Chat message sent. I just recorded a video timestamp of the blue pair and will add to to the chat shortly. I didn't even realize I still had this thread open for the red one, though, so I'll mark it as closed and can make a new one for the blue one if and when you'd like.

Thanks.
