Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Enki_Amenra]

I live where there's no cable. We relied on Dish network and DSL for our internet. During covid my son was at UT and he was having to do at-home learning. Our internet was so bad that it was almost impossible for him to do his work. We had to Hotspot from our phones which wasn't good either.

Multiple calls to the phone company did no good. The problem was In the physical lines and they had no intention on fixing them. I finally got on the list for Starlink. It was supposed to take 6 months. It took nearly two years. About the time we were notified that the equipment was on its way, the phone company notified us that fiber was on its way as well. Fiber being $45/month vs Starlink at $100. I decided to go the fiber route as it was less money and was 500mbs vs 100mbs.

Anyway, my point in telling this is that I've kept the Starlink equipment. You can turn Starlink on and off with your phone app. No shutoff fees or reconnect fees. You just have to pay for the entire month you're connected. If I ever find myself in a situation like these folks are, I can power up the Starlink and have immediate high-speed internet. Obviously, I have to have power which would be a generator or one of these inverter style power supplies. If you are in a place where you could lose power and communication, it might be worth investing in a Starlink setup. You can find them on marketplace fairly inexpensive.

Do you have to have internet/cell service to be able to turn it on?

Edit: just saw you answered this

Long night finally made it back home. Had to evacuate with my mother from her house in Newport. Now the water is turned off because during all the flooding somehow the water supply got contaminated. Now no water for at least 3 days and my back is killing me from sleeping on a hard ass bed.

Glad y’all are safe!

Do you have to have internet/cell service to be able to turn it on?

No. It was simple as turning it on and logging on using the app. Initial setup was easy. It only has three parts, the sat antenna, the modem/router, and a cable to hook them together. Turn it on and it scans the sky for the satellites. Boom, you've got 100mbs internet. It's very portable.

Edit: and turning it on and off is as easy as a slide button of the app.

I’m not sure you could have scripted a more embarrassing start for the 2024 Titans.

And then this. You can’t accuse them of running El Tractorcito to death and he, in turn, with fresh legs, is going to humiliate your franchise

Only thing is that cell towers have been down too. Starlink being satellite based is probably the most reliable in a natural disaster I would think.

I have a Honda 3000. It will power everything in my house except the 240V stuff like my AC and stove. Water heater is gas (1000 gallon propane tank) so I'll have heated water. Heat is a gas furnace so I'd have heat as well.

I don't know if you have any of them, but supposedly works on boats, too.

Well, he's a girl, so....

Edit: Mrs. Glitch took her to the vet this week. She weighs 17 lbs and should really be closer to 10 or 11. This kitty doesn't miss ANY meals. Trust me.

So you’re telling me the kitty got stuffed…

It does.

People who don't get the sarcasm will read that post and pucker their glutes.

So you admit you're fattening her up so you can eat her. You're a monster!

Idk, regardless of DH still being great, it was time to move on and add more perimeter weapons. The issue is Will Levis.

Not at all siap

This is the least affectionate cat I have ever known. I was chosen for some lap time this morning. Feeling special.

aren't most calicos girls?

I read once that Yetis are mostly girls. Quiet and reserved.

Of course we get stuck with a one off Fozzy Bear doppelganger.

Does it require cell service to connect the app to the hardware?

No it connects through wifi. You can literally use it in the middle of the ocean.

Too bad, sweep the leg, Heup!

My mom passed away tonight. She finally submitted to dementia. I’m almost 48 years old and somehow I just feel like a sad kid inside.

I'm so sorry, I'm 48 as well, watched both grandparents go through that 12 years ago. I wish only peace and comfort for you. It's rough to watch the people you once knew become a shell of themselves but remember they are now whole again.

Derrick Henry was sitting at 199 yards and the Ravens called a play action pass lol

Imagine Derrick Henry and Malik Willis on the same team… too soon?

King Henry with 199 rushing yds last night, and a TD. Should have had 2 rushing TDs but fumbled one that a teammate recovered. Also had a receiving TD. Ravens must actually have a good OL. Doubt he could do this behind the current Titans' OL.

What really sucks is the Titans got nothing for him. If they knew they weren't going to resign him, they should have traded him the prior season to at least get something. Just more bad decision-making IMO. The organization has been so poorly run. They need to do better. You would think that through the draft and free agency they could build a better OL than they currently have. Not that it will matter much with Levis at QB. So much this team has to fix.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Confident he’s ok. Anticipate they won’t have connectivity for a few more days.

Yeah...I figure that to be the case, but still..

Happy Monday

SEPTEMBER 2024

September 30, 2024: There are long-standing issues that need resolution. It seems like it has been forever, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep pressing on, and do not lose hope or give up. Victory is near. Romans 5:1-4 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.
