Now I'm curious what you use. I have a Netgear Nighthawk something that seems adequate, but I rarely have more than 3-4 things doing something at the same time. Before I bought that, I considered a Juniper SRX300 and access points, but that turned out to be way more for support than I wanted to spend.

Hey, even the Bills in their long, long sub-prime era won a game against the Pats on occasion. #whynotthisyear

Right around 11:00 there's a similar play, huh.

FWIW, my old-ish (2011) Mac Mini (next to the laptop, so ~14ft through a floor to the router) is getting 97Mbit down 83Mbit up on Spectrum's test (Oxford MA) (I'm on FIOS). fast.com reports 78Mbps, although it briefly showed 220. Verizon shows 150/180 from my device and 947/928 from my router to the Verizon's server in NYC. From verizon: What does a “Good” router test result mean? Your router speed: 947/928 Mbps A good result indicates that you are getting a result close to your subscribed speed. The speed to your router indicates the total bandwidth available to all devices combined. For instance, your result of 947 Mbps download bandwidth indicates that you could have 94 devices connected at the same time, each streaming 10 Mbps of content simultaneously.

I'm not in the business, nor have any direct knowledge, but it wouldn't be too hard to set up Quality of Service to prioritize certain types of traffic, such as speed tests. That being said, a lot of peoples network knowledge is up to the person yelling SHOOOOOT during 3-on-3 at center ice, to draw a parallel. It's a bit of both. The speed test is probably a little rigged (or "optimized"), while people think the local network is slow because catvideomp4.org doesn't download at > 90MBytes/s.

If you are having speed issues, you can have a primo network in the house with the good wifi access point, and a second low-rent wifi for the older devices. Not trivial to set up, but not too hard either. That being said, I've been lazy and only have my FIOS-provided router right now; It's almost directly below my laptop on the first floor right now, and the quoted speed in the adapter properties is bouncing around between 300 and 600 Mbit right now. I'm not shy about attaching devices to it, although I don't have anything truly old here either.

I'm gonna quote! ? He doesn't mention, but FIOS does offer (almost) 1Gbit up and down (it's like 960Mbit down/920Mbit up or something). And your point about contention ratios is valid, although with FIOS I have an independent link to the local switch. The uplink to the next network device likely isn't sized to carry the full bandwidth for every port on the switch; my guess is it's larger than the individual interfaces though, since 10Gbit is cheap these days. I'll have to test and see what I really get. But yes, it's unlikely most people need a gig for any reasonable (<20) number of household devices they use at the same time. Mostly because the providers aren't streaming stuff to you at that high a rate because it doesn't scale. Youtube apparently does around 40Mbit for 4K videos, which is probably the most bandwidth-intensive thing an average person does. So you could run 20+ concurrent 4K videos on a 1Gbit network. Almost anything else is peanuts in comparison, music is 1-2Mbit, full-DVD quality video is <10Mbit, the max for 1080p bluray is 40Mbit (I mention those as examples of really high-quality streams). I think NHL.tv is a few Mbit for 1080p.

While I'm not sure this is any different than other coaching changes, the perception of Krueger may be different because there's no basis for negativity based on past results. His time in EDM was years ago and a tire fire organization. If he'd been coaching last year and failed miserably, I think the mood would be worse. The best the nay-sayers can do is "he hasn't had an NHL job in years".

I keep thinking about this Eagles tailgate thing and keep coming around to "this would absolutely happen at a Bills game, racism and stupidity included; except there'd be more broken tables".

I was out during the Eagles game and could only see the TV across a restaurant; I saw #10 on the Eagles smoking people and thought to myself, "I remember when DeShawn Jackson used to do that, I wonder who it is now."

If he makes the club, we have to nickname him D2.

Is that why I see some guy named d4rkoiler spamming edmonton.craigslist.org with goalie available posts?

As I understand it, if the web site is available in the EU, they're legally responsible to abide by EU law as you say. Some sites probably adapt (the disclaimer) and others just punt and deny access to the Europe block of IP addresses. This is one of those times it'd be nice to have one government so these things don't happen (auto safety regs are another so we Americans could get the cool cars), but we all know how good the USA is at being an equal partner on the world stage.

Every time I'm in the Buffalo area, I ridiculously keep an eye out for the few people here that I'd recognize on the street. Hasn't happened yet.

Nice part is 6 of them are within 3 blocks of each other so it's really a choose your own adventure situation.

That's quite a night cap, holy cow. I dig it though, even though I haven't had one in awhile. MrsPie doesn't like the Belgian strains of yeast, and I don't drink out often. I once took a split case of Victory Golden Monkey (9%) and Storm King (9.5%) for a December wine tour up around Cayuga lake with a houseful of friends. After getting everyone drunk the first night ("Wow, this is 9%?"), we stopped the bus at a Wegmans before heading back and I grabbed another stout (it was my jam at that time) for something "lighter". It was Brooklyn at 10.5%. Oops. MrsPie and I are all in on the Hazy/NE beers. It's a fad and it'll play out, but it's nice while it lasts. Victory Cloud Walker is good, Sloop Juice as mentioned above, and Levante Cloudy and Cumbersome are also strong. Liberty Bell Ringer DDH DIPA (I do love acronyms, Double-dry Hop Double IPA) is a sweetish DIPA I have in the fridge right now, I'm now looking forward to getting home. And on a final note, I recently moved to Phoenixville PA, which over the last 10 years has successfully transitioned from depressed former steel town to a strange concentration of breweries. In a space the size of East Aurora, there are something like 10 breweries, a distillery, and a punk bar.

Nylander isn't a bust until the pieces he brought in flame out.

I took it to mean in two years of top-10 spots (in the draft) and RK is shown the door, will Risto still have hope under coach number.. 5?

I forget where you are, but we get similar things here in Southeast PA, and it was similar in Maryland. My guess is the differential in temperature of air that heats up across the US and then hits the air off the ocean (~100 miles east of here) makes for afternoon and evening storms a lot. I have a video somewhere that looks like an army of paparazzi.

I think so. If it were Chinese the tables would be packed in closer, and North Korea would have candles instead of electric lights.

I agree. Upgrading OS major versions is always fraught with peril. There are a few Operating systems I'd do it on as a last resort, but in the 20+ years I've been doing IT I've done a major upgrade on a system < 10 times, and those were always weird afterwards and really strange stuff to the point where we tried to retire them ASAP.

But hey, get it wet and you can make a killing on the resale market and skip Tax software altogether.

I don't have that much money, and I still don't care what people think of my hat. The benefits of age, as long as MrsPie doesn't disown me, I'm good.

People will talk in hushed tones of the Summer of 2019 and Nostradarkus.
