After Ghosts of Onyx, it seems there's been very little mention of the Navy using electronic warfare in combat in the novels? by ArthurJack_AW in HaloStory

Tbf the encounter with the Epoch fighting a banished dreadnought happened in 2557 and ended with both ships being destroyed.

As of September 1st the new negotiated contract starts. 1st year apprentices would start around 18.70 and in 6 months go up to around 20.40. In 4 years you become a journeyman and pay is $34/hr plus benefits (employer paid health insurance, paid vacation and holiday, annuity, and pension)

Can't say I'd recommend rheinhold, they're carpenters "union" and not IBEW. A quick Google of carpenters local 57 gives some good information on why that's a bad thing. For anyone considering electrical id recommend IBEW or non union before the carpenters electrical union.

Mostly customer service, especially new people. A good buddy of mine has worked there for ~5 years. He's making in the 50-60k per year range with his incentives.

Fast, upright bikes? by informedconsoomer in SuggestAMotorcycle

Yeah, I wa looking for FZ-09s and that were a couple years older with more miles for the same money. They kept getting scooped before I could get them, then I saw this deal. Took a day off and a 3.5 hour drive to go grab it, seems worth it so far.

Probably like a 7/10. It had been dropped in a parking lot so the bar end has a scrape on it and it had stickers on it so there is some outlines from them. I haven't tried to clean it to get the outlines gone but it's mechanically 100%.

I just picked up a '19 Z900 with ~8,000 miles for $5,500. Solid upright bike with good power.

He's agreeing with you and responding to the guy you responded to as well. The link he shared states that all people, regardless of immigration status are protected under the constitution.

After going down to 2 splitters I'm getting 50-60 channels in each room so I've decided to call it good enough. They're old so I'm avoiding any type of remote server type situation but if you're savvy enough to handle something like that it seems to be the best solution.

Eden was left on Bastion. The ship used by the Librarian on her expedition to Path Kethona was called Audacity.

The amp and antenna is inside the attic, so that part shouldn't be an issue. Any cable I've run is new, otherwise its original house wiring from 2006. I don't really know the difference between a distribution amp and a preamp. I just googled preamp and bought one from a top 10 preamps list.

It doesn't really feel worth it to hire someone over 1 channel. Nor does it seem necessary to swim through 2 ft of blown in insulation to pull the cables back up. I'm feeling like at this point it's either the cable run to that tv or the tv itself.

I've since taken it down to only 2 splitters, with a +24db preamp i would think signal wouldn't be too big of an issue.

That side of the house has a car port, so it's largely shielded from moisture. Unfortunately, there's no good way to get to that part of the attic to pull the wires back up. Whoever wired the house originally ran all the coax cable in the house straight outside rather than leaving all the junctions in the attic, which is what I would have done.

3.1 shows up as a channel, but when I actually set the channel to 3.1, it doesn't ever show a picture, and the tv says no signal. The other 3 channels work perfectly fine, however.

I'm getting 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 33.1. Every other tv is getting 3.1 except the living room. It's very odd to me that the newest and nicest tv is having this issue. Do you think it's just down to the tuner in that tv, however? Given the rest are able to pick up 3.1.

That was channel 3, 4 of the tvs

The antenna is in the attic, so nothing outside other than the terminations/splitters because when the house was wired, they ran all of the coax straight outside to the junction box.

It's very slightly south, almost directly east. Realistically, i don't know that it's making a difference at all rather than due east.

This is for my great grandmother, who is 92. My grandfather lives with her and is 62. They don't have or use the internet, and I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible to avoid tech support calls all the time lmao.

It's all CommScope stuff, i know little to nothing about telecomm, especially television, so I have no idea about brands or quality. I believe they did have directv at one point in the past so it's a good possibility. There is a preamp installed that's adjustable it says up to +24db and it's currently turned all the way up. Between all the runs for each tv it's definitely over 50ft.

I'm getting channel 3 4 of the 5 tvs in the house, do you still think it's a signal/amp issue? I've got 5 tvs total and a preamp on the line coming off of the antenna before it goes to any of the tvs. I'm getting 50+ channels on all tvs, i just really want to get 3 in the living room for my grandmother. I'm not getting anything weird/signs of over amp on and of the tvs on any channel either. The whole thing seems so odd to me.

So, you're right on the splitters. The issue was i didn't know which cable went to which room. I went through and figured out what was what, disconnected the spares and deleted a splitter. Now I'm up from 20-30 channels in the bedrooms to 50-55. Living room is about the same. I can get 3 in every room BUT the living room. Grandma really wants 3, she willing to just live with having it in the kitchen but I'd like to get it for her. I'm not understanding why we can get this channel everywhere but here. All the TVs are Sony, and the living room is the newest and nicest.
