HOF44

I think the only reason it is cancelled is due to media hype (at this point).

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- NFL officials have talked with members of the Washington Redskins about the possibility of having to re-schedule this Sunday's game due to potential impacts by Hurricane Joaquin.

what does that mean? I have a xbox and a laptop.  is that enough?

AC is the latest wireless standard and is faster and offers better range than N. If your laptop or Xbox is capable of AC you would want to get and AC router. If not you can get an N or future proof yourself and get an AC.

Thoughts on buying the following router?

It's a good router as long as you are aware is is not AC.  It's an N router.

Seats in my section, (236), were selling for $137.00, and only 1 pair was left.   That makes me feel a little better.  I'll just try not too look at it tomorrow, when they're down to $50.00!!

St. Louis game has a pair on 236 row 6 for $68 each. 

I'm hitting price points anywhere from $40 to $300 for routers, to the untrained eye, seem to have the same specs. Thoughts? Does brand name matter?

I like Apple routers.  But their are certainly cheaper alternatives.  Just never had one of those die on me.  I've had Netgear and DLink routers just die.  If not Apple I'd probably go Asus.

219 row 5 on the 20 for $11 and 235 row 2 for $16 on Seat Geek right now for Thursday nights game.

Damn...just when you've think that we can't sink any lower....the Skins appear to be selling preseason tickets on Groupon..relatively cheap too..https://www.groupon.com/deals/gl-washington-redskins#options

Pre-Season one one of the MAIN reasons I gave up my season tickets.  I was over $500 in before anything real even starts. 

 

I have bad luck with external drives. 

That's been my experience too. I just use old ones out of machines that have been junked. Pop them in the device I linked above and back up to them.

I use this device for backups. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817392063 It allows me to use toss away drives from other machines.

Need to replace my ISP-provide wireless router. All I do at home is stream netflix (up to 3 devices at a time maybe streaming video) and surf the internet. 

 

I was clocking 18 Mb/s download this morning, if that matters. Will this suffice for my requirements?

I use Comcast and have a Motorola Surfboard Docsis 3.0 modem with and AirPort Extreme wireless router. I just had to call them with the MAC address of the modem and I was up and running.

Last couple I've bought were at 0 to 1.9% interest.  Had 5 year loan and payments of about 700.  Still driving my last one a 2010 Honda Pilot.  It's still driving great.  So right now no payment. Just had the timing belt/waterpump/belt service.  Also new spark plugs and valves adjusted. 

How come nobody told me about Mr. Robot? 2 epis in, loving it so far

Good mention!! Watched the first episode, looks awesome.

Well for 1, I don't have that many junk stocks sitting around waiting to buy.  Usually 1 or 2 a year.  For 2, buying 1000 shares of Ford stock at $1 or $2 a share isn't a risk that worries me.  Putting my entire retirement on Ford would be stupid.  Buying 5000 shares of SIRI < $1 isn't something I would bet my retirement on either.

 

I never said I was smarter than the market.  But what I do in my sandbox is money I could afford to lose if I screw up.  So far it has paid off.  Other people on the board can do it too, you just have to watch.

If I had your success rate picking junk I'd dump it all in there.

I beat your index funds all day long.  I have been doing this for a long time.

What I don't get is why you are not using all your funds to invest in this manner. If you are that successful at it why not use all the funds you have after your employer match on your 401k. If I could produce that kind of consistent success picking stocks I would.

I'm about to put some dough into the Vanguard Healthcare mutual fund. With the aging population I think it's a good way to go.

Hey, guess where I was last night!  Gift cards, don't judge.  And the whole time, I was thinking, why isn't Zoony with us?

For future reference OG is part of Datden and you can use the cards at any of their locations. Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Bahama Breeze, Seasons 52, The Capital Grille, Eddie V's, Yard House and Red Lobster

Did the dealer tell you that or was it aftermarket repair shop?

 

The dealer told me and it's also in the owners manual. 

Hope you did the timing belt service on that odyssey at 100k!!

Also honda actually tells customers to never change plugs unless one starts malfunctioning. IMO this is foolish change them at 100k

Have a 2010 Honda Pilot.  Just had the timing belt and spark plugs changed. Mine is recommended at 105K for both timing belt and spark plugs. 

What row does the overhang start in the 200's. I don't wanna be under it.

Obstructed view seats give the overhang a bad name.  It's really a great feature in the seats it was intended to cover.

I went from 236 row 2 to my couch. I'll still go to games I want to, but refuse to pay full price for another preseason game. Plus I hate Snyder.

Went to a friend's house to watch ?

Nope.

I figured Floyd came to most peoples attention when he won the Bronze Olympic Medal.

I didn't pay for the first one and won't pay for another if they have it. 

I know what he did pre fight, but the doctor he is seeing for the surgery is not the one that signed this. He saw him post fight.

Until that article with a well respected doctor describing the injury came out I thought it might have been BS, but that guy is not losing his rep just to help out Manny.
