(Part 2) Best products from r/Chattanooga

You can get one through EPB but I wouldn't recommend it. I'd suggest this one:

http://www.amazon.com/RT-AC68U-Wireless-AC1900-Dual-Band-Gigabit-Router/dp/B00FB45SI4

I have the AC66u version and it's a champ and my Macbook Pro can download over wireless AC throughout my house at 300mb/s.


Although the Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 is pretty nice as well. Both routers have gigabit capability and provide wireless AC (to any wireless devices you might have that run wireless AC).

As BoozeDelivery said, if you don't have any newer wireless devices you can get by just buying a gigabit capable router with Wireless N that will be cheaper.

OTA is great. You really don't need a great antenna to get the big channels NBC, ABC, FOX, CBS. They are all on the Signal Mountain Ridge. As long as you don't sit in a ridges RF shadow, something inside should work well.

I have this antenna and it is total overkill.

I have it pointed at the mountain and the rear of it actually picks up PBS from Chatsworth, GA.

I bought this antenna and pick up ION from Canton, GA.

You buying one antenna for one TV, or one antenna for multiple TVs? You can easily tap into your existing coax. You'll just want to probably replace your cable provided distributor with an amplified distributor.

Have you considered something like this that doubles as an edger? I actually have this exact model but have never used the edging function of it, but it's a great weed eater.

There's no "bar" just beer kiosks around with like 2-3 draft beer choices.

You can't bring anything in, but that just means you need a flask and $2 for a coke and you're in mixed drink heaven. Security is lax, they'll check bags and that's it. They may have started waving a metal detecting wand, but I really don't think so.

Not suggesting you need these, but I've got them and I've brought them with me to all kinds of events and never even had security give them a first glance, much less a second.

On this heading, given all the smoke of late, it may be worth it to spring for a higher-end air filter the next time around. Standard air filters don't do that great a job at filtering smoke out of the air. I recently changed air filters over to these (obviously get the size you need) and the difference in how they look when they are ready to be changed versus my old ones is massive. These look filthy when I go to change them after the same time period the old ones just looked dirty. The difference is all the stuff the standard ones were letting through. I don't tend to link-drop or promote specific products, but given the recent air quality concerns, wanted to make people aware not all air filters are created equal, or equally capable of handling smoke.

For sure. If you have a relatively clear view of NNW, you can probably get by with a [cheap indoor antenna stuck to a north/west window] (https://www.amazon.com/Antenna-Amplified-Broadcast-Television-Detachable/dp/B01FUB4ZG8/) (on sale for $17 when I'm posting).

If you're in a valley (like me), you'll probably need a more serious setup (I have this one mounted in my attic with an amplifier and it works great, even though the signal is coming to me through the side of a hill to my NNW).

Who needs cable with the internet and OTA TV?

Friend gave me this book when we moved down here. I use it a lot to find good hikes depending on my time and mood.

Go the speed limit in the right lane, not the left lane (on highways only). The left lane is for passing cars going slow in the right lane. People WILL tail you and honk at you if you are going slow in the left lane when you have room to get over in the right lane.

If something happens to your car, you should try doing your own research first. Google the model and make and the problem. Sometimes it will be a common problem among your type of car, and it will possibly be an easy fix. Also, try to make some friends who know at least a little a bit about cars. Make sure to check your oil regularly and check your tire pressure and life. Don't buy replacement parts from a dealership if you can avoid it. Salvage yards are cheap and will get any part you need for your car, even if it's a cracked piece of plastic you want to replace.

A general tool set will work for now until more complicated things come around. If you plan on buying something non-grocery related, check to see if it's cheaper on Amazon. Many times it is. Here's the #1 tool set on Amazon.

Message me if you have questions or problems. I'm a pretty good handyman.

Just helped my neighbor pick out [this laptop] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K4PAZFG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) for under $400 new and got it in 2 days. Also, it has a num pad which is always a great addition to a laptop. That being said, bummer about your Macbook, love mine.

Chromebook's aren't great, better to spend a little more and get a lot more in return.

I just finished reading Scott Adam's Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don't Matter — I just returned it to the ChattLibrary system, so it's available for checkout, if anybody is interested. It's largely about why Trump won, even when sometimes his hyperbole gets the best of him. Whatever your political leanings, this is a great book: just like the author, I am socially-liberal (pro-choice, 420-friendly) and fiscally-conservative (see my comment history).

Affordable and still the best.

Absolutely. A refurb EA6350 will run circles around that for $50 --- http://amzn.to/1Z9noaU

Edit: Or, if you're super cheap, $30 for an EA2500 -- http://amzn.to/1TJEsD7 -- wireless N, though.

I've never used one, but is something like this out of your price range?

https://www.amazon.com/Handy-Cassette-Player-Digital-Converter/dp/B008ASIZR4

Once you're on a PC with MP3, you can do whatever you want with the file.

I'll go look over there tomorrow after work. I checked on Amazon, they don't have any particular one I want (other than this but it has meh reviews):

Thank you!

I didn't even know those where around here. This is why I was looking for local knowledge.

Something I found on Amazon you others might me interested in.

Are you in Hixson? harbor freight sells a 1/4 wrench that will go that low. With coupon about $11.

This is a great tool that you need if you don't have one. Lasts a lifetime really.

Ring Molds They have fancy kits as well. I don’t remember the exact size. The 3.5” would give you a good shape though. Low and slow

Ignoring the fact that your engagement with his point of view is literally the exact opposite of Buckley's complaint, quoting Buckley is another on-brand self-own. Buckley was so anti-russian that he continued to support McCarthyism with his dying breath. In fact, he was so concerned with the red menace that he published a book of McCarthy fanfic in 1999 called "Redhunter." If he were still alive, Buckley would be going fucking ballistic over the GOP's embrace of putin.

FYI, its not just trump (who is going to spend Veterans Day with putin), 8 republican senators spent the 4th of July in moscow and were humiliated on state TV. Total capitulation.

Also to clarify, if you know you'll be using a router for any prolonged period at time (e.g. more than a month or two in your near-future life), then you should invest in buying the router yourself, rather than renting it. You can obviously get a higher-end router, or a lower-end router, and both will be sufficient for 1Gbps transfers (just check the stats first. 1000Mbps = 1Gbps). Either way, even with an insane router, you'll probably pay it off inside a year (in terms of EPB). If you need help setting it up, ask around, offer some beers to a tech friend/acquaintance to set it up and show you anything you might need to know.

This is my router, which is obviously one of the pricier ones, but this specific one is "paid off" inside 7 months.

From initial glancing, this router would also be sufficient, and would be "paid off" inside 3 months.

Also, the main reason to rent would be that the monthly payment is cheaper in the long run - e.g. you replace the router every 1-2 years or something - but that's not going to happen. The monthly payment will rarely be cheaper in the long run. Routers will last multiple years even outside of warranty. And they don't have the upgrade cycle of a phone. And you'll rarely, if ever, need to "turn it off and turn it on" like those old blue Linksys routers. Those sucked.
