Evolv-ing Thread

I only use cellular as a backup (and mostly as a backup to a backup). What I get there varies tremendously by location. At our cabin in SWVA, it's the only backup, and VZW is the only provider that has any coverage in the area at all. But I'm on the fringes of coverage and use a Wilson signal booster. That said, it's considerably faster than the 1.5 mbps DSL I've also got there -- I think I've seen as much as 10 mbps -- but I rarely use it because I prefer to to hoard the GBs I have available on my cell plan for when I really need them.

With AT&T 4G lte I regularly see 40+ mbps dl speeds, just not here at home. I'm on the fringes of fringes here and rarely see more than 1 bar 4G lte or 3 bars 4G on my hotspot. It switches back and forth between the two and drops signal in between. It used to be better but AT&T stopped renting space on our nearest tower. Sometimes I have to retype these posts multiple times to get them to post.

That's a lot better than I thought. Ive only seen 10mbps so far on the one I've used, there's one built into my dad's truck that I've used in various places.

Hey that looks good. I just showed your post to the wife, she said "No way!". I said, "Yeah it looks great doesn't it?" She said, "That's not what I meant by no way"[emoji38]
I guess she's still PO'd at them.

lol, not bad at though if it's your only option. imo.

That was a great movie.

I mean just your basic tin box computer. I built a ton of them for all our business customers and the shop I worked at referred to them at boxes. Had to be careful around the university, some of the female professors didn't appreciate "I'm from Metro Micro and I'm here to have look at your box".

I don't miss that job at all. The cases they bought were extra cheap ($20 including power supply) and the internal edges could slice you wide open in a blink of an eye.

That's what I thought, I got confused by the security system thing lol... & yeah I used to work for micro center in college & do pretty much the same thing. The favorite case that theyd use for a custom rig (bc it was cheap, had a built in psu and harness), the kind with the "U" shaped cover w/ frame underneath that's sharp all over, especially the little ledge with the screw holes in it, got a couple of scars from that.

This Guy mite be on to some thing here? He does all these air flow videos, makes me curious how this will work? I like the second wick end idea He obviously missed a lot of design cues no AFC? no BF Pin
I'm still curious how it's going to work, with the air flow circulating?

Any of you guys into bass fishing? I'm trying to tie a fluorocarbon leader onto my braid setup & the stupid fish keep pulling it off & running away with the whole thing in its mouth... I'm using the standard noose/put it throughthe noose/wrap it around 10 times/back through the noose & then pull it tight, knot that I've even used for saltwater fishing.

I haven't fished in many a year, that's the same knot I used, how old is your line? Maybe you've run onto some huge fish?

Trip the Alarm! They should be calling in a Hurry then?

Are you sure they want your money? [emoji16]

It's 12lb braid but these fish aren't that big lol... 6 times in a row the leader got pulled off.

is it the weekend already?

I usually work on the weekends but if it's nice I don't mind faking sick.

 

[SlickWilly]

I'm not faking, I am sick and it sucks. At least Mama is better, got it from her, now it's her turn to take care of me. Been taking Zicam for the last week in case I got it so hopefully it will shorten the duration. Going back to bed soon, I feel like crap.

Looks interesting, intriguing concepts. I will wait for the tank version.

guy just came out from condo assoc. to fix the front door paging system, tells me to take down his number in case I have issues when I add the cam/pager to my security system & phone. Super thick Russian accent, he says "I go by beell"

It's funny bc it reminded me of when my brother & step-mom first got here... my brothers full name is Leonid, pronounced Leōn'd, now he goes by Leo but all his American documents ended up say Leonard on them... this guy was probably got tired of correcting people & was like "hmm what's the most American name possible"

It's a cool design for wertical coils

Steamer is right though it would probably work better as a squanker, as a dripper I guess you have to refill that secondary well.

But It's cool that someone is figuring out what actually goes on inside an rda when we wape it.

It does from an Air Flow point of view TBH I think I could make some improvements! For one an AFC ring to choose how much air, the slight angle on the Air flow holes, will not work as good as a tube set up like the pulse has.
Short tubes coming in on an angle closer to the coil, would not only get the air circulating better in the chamber they would also have less affect on the air leaving the atty! Last but not least a BF pin & a gapping hole in the bottom of the "second reservoir" So it can Squonk! Who drips any more? Any way!

Maybe I should get in touch with some China manufacture & come out with an improved version before He even releases the Original! J/K'ing

6 times in a row the leader got pulled off.

You do know what the definition of crazy is, don't you?
I've had no luck with tying braided either.
