  1. The hottest rental player, sure, but all of the names and rumored offers being thrown around weren't good enough.

     

    The only good one was via TheAthletic when, I think it was Dreger, mused about Kyrou and a 1st from STL. That was never happening.

     

    I agree. You know what you have in Kreider. He’s playing well. Why trade him for picks that can become nothing when you know you’re getting atleast 20 goals a year from him for the foreseeable future.

  2. Where's the opportunity for us to flip Kreider for a younger upside player, though?

     

    Serious. Are you jumping up and down about a 1st and Kaut? Is this a reverse MSL trade where we are the Lightning?

     

    I'm not really for keeping him at the terms he wants, and while this is exciting to watch, I agree you need to keep the process going. That said..I'm not sure there's a good enough deal to make me think the return we get - even in flippable assets - is meaningful enough to our chances to take the next step next year.

    You’re a furrier, more left leaning version of me, lately.

    ?Paul Bissonnette and Daniel Carcillo dropped their metaphorical gloves on Twitter on Saturday night when the former accused the latter of calling him the N-word when they were teammates in the minor leagues. He added that he knew of Carcillo wearing a swastika in the NHL.?

     

    Am I missing something here? Is this one white guy accusing another white guy of calling him the n-word?

  4. Can you move the router yourself from the laundry room for testing purposes with a couple of ethernet cables?

     

    I bought a 25 foot ethernet cable and a coupler. The problem is, I believe I also need to connect the COAX for my cable tv guide/dvr services.

     

    I had a similar issue and I rectified it by using a second router as an access point. Basically you run a line from your verizon router and connect it to a secondary router in any room of your choosing. Once that's done go into settings and make the second router run as an access point for other devices. It doesn't create a second network it just extends the one you already have to other rooms in the house. Works fine for me.

     

    Here's an example. There are plenty of sources online for this.

    This is an interesting way to go. Problem is, I only have 1 ethernet port in my entire house.

     

    I had this problem - two good solutions. As a rule of thumb, your WiFi signal will be around 25-33% of your max; in the case of your top speed, that won't really be felt, but WiFi will almost always be significantly slower than your max. Getting 2.5% of your max is out of sorts bad.

     

    1 - Metal and glass interfere nicely with a router signal. I might see if you can move the router away from those pipes. You can probably use a splitter or even use your cable box as a throughput for the coax cables to move your router to any location you've got a box. Try that, and test it out.

    2 - You can buy a repeater or a second router. A repeater will grab your signal and rebroadcast - again, you'll lose strength; definitely better for overall coverage than strength of signal. A second router might be better for that.

     

    I might also see if you can log into your router settings and mess with channels. Traditionally, 1, 6, and 11 are used for like...everything. You might want to try going to a less busy channel and seeing how your devices respond. Most modern routers pick the channel that's most open at all times and cycle through, but you never know.

     

    I figured as much. I'm going to try and move it around again.

     

    I have no idea what FiOS charges to move the equipment, and I'm not sure what the floorplan of your place looks like, but a simple solution to this would be to invest in a range extender or wifi access point that's more centrally located to boost the frequency going upstairs.

     

    I'm open to this. Verizon would charge me $100 just to come out. They said that they no longer go thru walls though. So I asked if they would basically just be taking a long ethernet cable and stapling it to my wall and the tech said "I believe so", which is ridiculous. Firstly, that's horrible looking, lol. Secondly, I could do that myself. They charge $60 per to put in a new ethernet port in the wall, (if they can). It might be worth having them come out to see what's what. I have COAX in almost every room in my house. I don't know how difficult it would be to convert that.

  5. I have Verizon fios providing internet service to my house. I have their ?extreme? plan, which is a gigabit of speed. I?ve checked it and I?m getting d/l 949.46 mbps and upload if 876.12 mpbs

     

    I purchased my router outright and it?s the standard Verizon quantum gateway g1100 (not to be confused with Rhom). Verizon installed it in a my laundry room, right next to my circuit breaker, some hot water pipes and directly above my washer and dryer.

     

    When I check my WiFi from the room directly next to my laundry room, my family room, I?m getting 437.18 mbps/426.12 mbps vis Verizon?s speed test on my iPhone X.

     

    I have about 14 devices connected when we?re all home. 3 iphones, baby monitor, a few smart devices like my google homes/next thermostats, smart TVs, etc.

     

    However, when I go upstairs, and on the other side of the house (not a huge house - 2k square feet), my WiFi drips tremendously. I get 1 or 2 bars, if I can connect at all, and max out at speeds like 24.7 mpbs d/l and 66.1 mpbs upload on a good day..

     

    This obviously sucks. I called Verizon and they said they?d charge me to come back out and move the ont/modem/router. So that?s an option. But I can also buy a stronger router like a heavy duty nighthawk meant for gaming or the new Verizon heavy duty router. Or I can try a WiFi extender. But I don?t know which is the proper way to go.

     

    Any advice on what is the best course of action to take here? Is it mainly the location that?s the culprit? Is the Verizon router shitty? Should I just go for a google mesh or netgear extender? What do those with more knowledge on this subject recommend?

    Dude, I like Jeter and I’m glad he got in, but no way. He isn’t the greatest short stop of all time. He’ll, he wasn’t even the greatest short stop of his era or on his team. A-Rod, whom I hate, was a better hitter, better fielding short stop. 3200 hits, 700 homers, .295 average, etc.

     

    Jeter was just way more likable, clutch as can be and wasn’t marred by steroid abuse. But pound for pound, by stats, Arod was the better short stop.

    I think most people agreed that at the start of the season, the devils had about as good as an offseason as you could have. Perhaps “amazing” wasn’t the right word, but Shero did exactly what a devils fan would want him to do. I don’t think anyone really envisioned the struggles they’re having now.

  8. my son is about to turn 6 months old. I really was looking forward to getting him on the ice, but he was recently diagnosed with a pretty rare chromosomal syndrome that affects growth. My kid will need HGH from the time he's 2 until the time he's 18 to be a slightly below average height male. My wife is afraid of putting him in anything that burns calories when he gets older, because every calorie counts. However, I've seen children with this (through facebook groups, internet research, etc.) that play baseball.

     

    I'm hoping that he gets to point where he can skate and play, but I don't think I'd ever have the chance to let him play competitively.

     

    Pete, if your boy is healthy enough to play and expresses interest in it, let him do it brah.
