I was almost foaming at the mouth.

Cadillac is offering lump sumps to 400 dealers to close their doors. Apparently almost half of Cadillac dealerships account for less than 10% of sales.

Any tips on buying baby monitors?

Congrats.

2 schools of thought.  Audio only or video.  For audio nearly anything is okay.  For video...well I don't know if I want video.

I just found out about Disclosure this year and his work with Sam Smith and Lorde.  That's easily the most played music I listen to now.  That along with the Alina Baraz and Galamatais album

 

I bet even Sean could tolerate some of that EDM.  Has enough instrumentals and way less siren noises.

Lol

Hell YA!! I have been on a eltro kick myself, oh and eltro swing. Mucho good brass.

I love booty swing.  One of the best. Rjd2 is brilliant and I need to check out grammatik. I know the name... excited to listen.

Do you know San Holo??

 

Time for another wireless router.  My computer HATES my Asus.  I have a TP Link I use for work that has been fine, but they all suffer the same thing.

My laptop drops the connection.  To cure it, I log off, do a failed log in and then a log in again and it usually works.  This happens between every 5 minutes and every hour.  ONLY when I am one floor away from the router.  In the same room as the router it will work non-stop for weeks.

I've been testing this the past couple weeks.  Literally hasn't failed once as I work all day and then I go downstairs and it fails quickly.  The TP link fails about 1/3 as many times as the Asus.  to be fair both routers were not spendy.

I am willing to spend some dough if it fixes this problem.  I am done being annoyed.  I see routers from $10 - $300...not sure how to rationalize what and where.  My internet speed is 20 down 2 up via cable so going way faster than that isn't necessary.

Any recommendations?  I would like at least one wired port but if it routes I could surely use a few.

I'm obviously old...or like music with more than 3 notes.

Dude.  Get a serious router.  It's worth it.

Asus is king but here is something I would trust too.

Ok you got me there. It's pretty basic music but it makes me want to move and picks up my mood.

Try this on for size Sean.

 

 

For the record Sean I would trust the new Asus high end much more TBH.

C'mon cops, at least come up with a better excuse

Video is pretty damned useful, at least with nieces and nephew. They are/were especially talkative in the crib so it beat going back and forth to see if they were up or not. Hear a noise, check the video feed, repeat.

My dad's exact response when he hears me listening to punk, actually.

I haven't had food in about 40 hours.  It's amazing how much less you squat when you have no nutrition in you.

The problem with video is if you know you have it you look ALL the time.  Reality is, if they aren't crying you don't need to do shit.  Even then it is usually better if you don't otherwise you will train them to cry to have you come get them.  

Of course, when bloody murder happens you run!

does the better router buy me something other than speed?  

 

if not how do I know what is enough?

Speed and "features", mostly. I'm partial to routers that can be converted over to the DD-WRT firmware myself. A lot more flexibility and customization, akin to rooting an Android device or jailbreaking an iPod/iPhone. Personally, I've never had good experiences with D-Link or Netgear networking products,  never had problems with Linksys products, and wasn't even aware Asus made networking equipment.
