I'd like to think that's because they gave so generously at church, but I have doubts. As a member of that demographic, It saddens me to be thought of in that light. At least I get to be one of the people that shatter a stereotype.

I waited tables for 6 years. It's well known in the hospitality industry that the Sunday church crowd is one of the most difficult and least generous group to serve. We all hated working Sunday morning.

The wife and myself went out Saturday night to eat. I won’t say where but I had to go find silverware. The food was cold and not any good. It’s a shame nobody wants to work anymore.

Some years back one of the local news programs reported that the most common time for hotel and restaurant workers in Memphis to take vacations or time off was during the annual COGIC convention. The reason being that these God loving folks never tip, complain constantly and treat the staff like ####.

Just a quick question, what does "Premium Gas" have to do with "What are your favorite loadings in 2023?"? I use my cast, powder coated, and reloaded ammo for SD.

Very good condition, took it in on a trade and just do not shoot it. Looks very close to new. $500.00

I'll toss in the Beretta Serie 80 .380s. I have an 84BB and an 85BB. The 84 is a double stack and fits my hand so I shoot it better. BBs have a safety. Later models have a decocker. Ala Burger King, have it your way. Light Al frames make them easy to carry. Midsize so they conceal well. Too big for a pocket (XSP for that), though.

Do your reading on the alien, but that's what i would try. I can't promise you it has these enterprise features. Make sure first.

You allow tiktok on your network? I kid but i don't. that crap is blocked at the Stan household. If it were me, i would try the alien first to see if i like it and if it meets your needs. As for the dream machine, here are my thoughts -The DM Pro is cool if you plan to use cameras, outside of that, it may be overkill if you're a normal "user". It's also going to cost more -The DM has what you're after, guest networks, QOS. etc. -Wifi scheduling sucks on it. I have the kids on a specific SSID with parental blocks. I wanted to shut their wifi off around midnight. It works fine on the DM itself but since i have multiple VLANS and SSIDs, when it flips on, it just turns off my AP's signal all together. -As mentioned previously, the unifi interface will take some getting used to, as it is intended for small/medium business. It's not going to hold your hand. -By default, any SSID you create will be on 2.4 and 5ghz. Your devices will likely always select 2.4 which will be significantly slower, because it's a stronger signal. You can tell the devices to "prefer 5ghz", but that's not "enforce". So the best way for me was to have 2.4 on a dedicated SSID and if I really needed it, i would enable that (in case family/friends come over with a kids tablet or something. Everything else is 5ghz -I blacklisted all of the embargoed countries along with China and Russia. it's super simple in the interface -You can enable IDS or IPS. I have IPS enabled on the most restrictive and have never had a problem. -My guest network actually has a Eula that states I'm going to take all of your data and you owe me $50 a day.... odd that nobody ever reads it and just clicks accept Speaking of guest network, that's a fun setup. Looks a little different than this now but it's got a cool level of customization (no, this isn't my network)

If you didn't need QOS/guest network, I'd suggest you just get a Starlink Mesh Node to extend your network reach. Question: do you have your Starlink router setup in bridge mode (bypass mode)? While double NAT won't hurt you in most instances, you may run into issues especially if you need to remotely access devices on your network. The other thing is you might currently have the 2 wireless networks on the same channels causing interference.

Bump for Price Drop

I do IT support for a living. For home or small business, I don't use anything other than Ubiquiti. One customer was "burning up" a router/wifi combo every 6 months. He's in a metal building. It didn't matter what brand or quality of a home class router he bought. Several years ago I replaced it with an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X and an Ubiquiti access point. Other than the 1 time his dog chewed up the cable running to the AP, he's not had a single problem since. His EdgeRouter may be old and no longer sold, but it chugs along fine. All of my network gear here is Ubiquiti. I have a Dream Machine Pro, 48-port POE switch, a couple of different access points and 2 of the mesh APs (that are hard wired rather than mesh). Yeah, it's probably way overkill. Buy my network is my work's life-blood as I primarily do remote support. One thing you might find interesting is my slightly older HD access point beat a new Asus gaming router (with wifi 6) my friend purchased when transferring large files over wifi. His will initially burst faster, but the stability of my network beats it out on large downloads. For me, consistency and reliability trumps speed. I do a lot of wifi calling using my iPhones as it's more reliable than the cellular connection. The handover between access points is seamless with Ubiquiti APs as long as they are setup as the same network (the default configuration). If you decide to buy something other than Ubiquiti and seamless roaming is important to you, be sure to check reviews. Just a FYI, I've not used the Ubiquiti Amplifi gear. Everything I'm supporting is Unifi line. Several customers are using the Dream Machine (not the Pro). Unless they are in a larger building, most don't even have to use an additional AP. To date, I've not had a single piece of Ubiquiti hardware fail. I have had some other issues (i.e. a rare reset required) on a couple of units and have updated some old gear to newer/faster hardware to take advantage of faster Internet speeds now available. In my opinion, the Ubiquiti hardware is worth the extra expense.

I assume it's still 15% for average service and 20% for good service. I try to do 20% at least since labor is in such short supply and I hate washing dishes at home.

Oh, yeah

hah. it's like electric cars. oh and the alien is 6 of course. *edit* nvm, you said "E"

Thank you all for that I will be getting one soon

If you pick one up, give us a review. I like my gear but I have some pretty heavy speed loss on my AP (could be the model of AP). I'm 600 down/400 up and even with the wired AP, the other side of the house gets around 300/200. Not unlivable by any means, but seems wasteful.

Barrel small shank is just small shank the 4.4 is to fit into the new for Savage Magpul stock

I wanted an Alien but when I was shopping, it was just announced. I would need two because i only allow 5ghz in my house Instead I went with the Dream Machine and and one AC Pro AP. No wifi 6 though which stinks, but it's still plenty powerful.

I've got an Amplifi Alien. It is capable of mesh, but in my 2 story 2500sq ft house one unit provides excellent coverage.

Wrote that after an exhausting day rebuilding a fence, so let me provide a bit more. https://www.amplifi.com/instant Their Amplifi line is meant for home applications. I hear they're good, though I'm not sure about the admin interface. if it's anything like my Ubiquiti Dream Machine, you need to have some networking background. It's not Cisco level, but it's not the paint-by-numbers Linksys interface.

Wow, I thanks everyone who replied to my post. Great info! I believe I have a better handle on what to do. I believe I'll put together some light load in 9mm (since I have a LOT of brass and bullets not) and give them a try at the range. Thanks Again!

I see a lot of folk in town, open carrying huge Glocks, Sigs, and Springfield Armory cannons. There is something definitely special to carry the sleek Walther PPK tight against your waistband. However @Moped, with your choice of .32ACP, you'll never have to complain about punishing recoil, or worry about where the high power, high velocity round goes after it passes thru your bad guy. .32 still has an impressive bite and noise.

Thanks @Mopedand @chances R You gentlemen make very good points.

Reciprocity would be an issue. Would eventually see the ECP having some additional privilge, as a way to encourage usefulness and training.

not going to lie at first I thought this was a push button for an auto SAK and got really excited

Teach him that he will be the provider and protector of his family. Also teach him about Jesus the Savior and God the Father.

jeez man, are you an MSP or something? WAN redundancy at the house!

so true it hurts. ***edit*** not saying i approve. But definitely seen it first hand.
