Went from 270Mbps to 900Mbps d/l speed with these two along with the wireless AX card in my laptop. An Arris T25 Cable/Voice Modem and the Netgear RAX120 wireless router. I am looking to upgrade my wifi router. I have over 30 wifi smart home devices and my router appears to have trouble maintaining a consistent connection to them. Do you think something like yours is what is needed? I don't need the speed, I just need for it to have a stable connection with numerous wifi devices. Couldn't say for sure because I don't have that many devices connected at any given time. More like 12 to 18 and in the short time I've had to mess with it it's been fine.

IMO can't have enough plants and trees in a room. Just added a couple of Cactus to the coffee table after planting them. Used stones ontop of the soil in pots to dissuade me cats from digging in them. I'd like to add a dwarf lemon tree somewhere in the room soon as I figure out how to provide enough light to it. Just love the fragrance of citrus.

That's a pretty nice finish on the Klipsch! It would indeed be. But those aren't the Klipsches...

My 36 year old McCulloch (made in Texas USA) chainsaw developed a leak in the bar oil tank and the local shop, Waverly Tool circa 1967, where I could get parts closed up (killed by covid hysteria). So now it's Huskie time.

Alas, the used VTI stands from eBay arrived broken (poor packaging on the part of the seller, who will now be profoundly unhappy because he'll have to refund my payment & shipping, pay to have his broken merchandise returned, and get negative feedback as an eBay seller). So I did what I should have to start with:

Precisely why I never sell on eBay and almost never buy on eBay anymore. Too many dishonest people on there, and they don't know how to pack up an item correctly if their life depended on it.

You also have to have a direct-deposit bank account in the EXACT same name as your eBay user name (or change your eBay name and lose decades of feedback). In short, eBay has made it too hard to sell there, and not economical enough to buy there. They'll also be happy to add State sales tax to any purchase without providing any service in return. I'm getting tired of ALL online buying. If I sell you my used AVR, I already paid the tax on the purchase. The State isn't entitled to collect tax again if I sell it used on eBay or anywhere else. On cars and houses, yeah - those "repeat taxes" have been in effect for decades and aren't so galling. But for a $75 used audio AVR? Really?
That said, the majority of eBay purchases I've made HAVE been from honest people, and they usually go above and beyond on packaging IF (and it's a big if) I request that they do so. I'll even offer to pay extra for good packing. I thought that speaker stands would be robust enough to survive without heroic packaging. I was wrong. The bases were cast-iron and FedEx dropped them just wrong...
Oh well

I am with Boomzilla, Ebay has been ruined for both buyers and sellers. Sales Tax of almost 9% in NY was the final straw for me!

Baton/Stun Gun - non lethal means of defending against dogs while walking around the neighborhood as well as added protection I'll carry in the car. The baton is telescopic and can be used as a club besides a 4+ million volt stun gun to incapacitate. Tired of dogs w/out a leash running up on me and my wife while barking fiercely. I don't like being at the mercy of a beast or its' handler.

Mac Mini M1. I am so impressed by the iPad Air I recently purchased that I decided to try a Mac desktop after being a PC/Windows person since day 1.

I still have the original iPad i bought from you years ago, I also have the iPad 6th gen and would like to grab a new iPad Air but $780 plus taxes is crazy, I can almost just get another Mac Mini haha.

Chad I remember that! Sure seems like a long time ago. I went without one until just recently, prompted by how incredibly slow my laptop was. It got me so frustrated, as it took forever to start up, to open a browser or to log into Zoom. Pretty much everything was super slow and half the time it kept doing Windows and Dell updates! So I got the iPad and that thing is so, so nice. Everything is lightning fast. The graphics are beautiful. It just does what it is supposed to do.
