It is stupid to combine those two. Spooky Rocky top is completely intended for us to celebrate our team and give angst to our opponents. To play it with all the storm devastation is insulting to that song. I completely get the tragedy and totally support showing footage of the devastation. But, to combine it with that song is dumb.

WTH is Spooky Rocky Top? I’ve clearly missed this?

Y’all scream “Boo” instead of “Woo” or something?

Technically, "wireless" usually refers to wireless local broadcast of your personal internet. "Cellular" refers to the wireless signal that comes from our cell phone provider.

Starlink was referred to as a good option for catastrophic issues like we're seeing now, and cellular data (towers) were mentioned as down. If your starlink is turned off and you have to turn it on via some internet connection of some type, it'll be useless unless you have cellular data service to turn it on. And if there's cellular service, the need for Starlink will generally be of less necessity. There are workarounds, like driving with your phone to somewhere with cellular coverage to turn SL on.. And since data plans may not be unlimited, or have hotspot, Starlink would be valuable. Make no mistake.

It's a little of both. You need an account set up which obviously you need internet access to make.
Once you get the equipment installed and turned on its built in wifi boots up. You then connect to that wifi and it will initialize and start sending and receiving data.

that is solid

It sounds like starlink allows you to activate using it's own satellite connection. You should be able to get a limited connection through starlink to turn on full internet access.

I think all elected officials should have term limits
They can run for other branches when their term in one is done but no one should be in office longer then 12-16 years
That’s my opinion

Agreed. Not overly short term limits because knowing what you're doing helps, but I could definitely see a cap at 16 years. Can we include the Supreme Court in those limits?

Super smart option on their part. I was going by the post per turning it on with a slider on their phone.

No terrestrial broadband here, so we've struggled. I signed up for SL when they had the waiting list. It promised that you'd get it according to first come, first served when it was offered in your area. They gave an estimated date for my area. Two years late, it arrived in my area, and they started giving access according to how close people lived to cities. Ignored their promises to the early investors on the waiting list.

Elon Musk is a known lying POS that sells vaporware, takes people's money up front by lying about the state of the product and its timeline. I will never give him a penny.

I has the confuseds. When retirees say 'wifi' that can mean any number of things. It could mean the internet on their 'Iphone', since presumably that's what their children set up and have spent 5 years teaching them to make a phone call with.

Or, Wifi, can mean the internet at home. The internet they have to call and have tech support fix anytime the modem (thing with blinky lights) needs to be turned off and on.

Wi-Fi, to me is warrliss innernet. If you're using an app, i'm nor sure how the Starlink app communicates to their servers. Essentially does it require data connection to set itself up? Which to me seems redundant.

You probably have a better grasp of this than I do. So, for seeming ageist, and that I know better you have my sincerest my bads. That said, dinner is at 4.

Lol. Let me man splain this to you.

You have to have the app initially, so you'd have to have either a cellular connection to Al Gore's world wide web, or to a Wi-Fi connection through some sort of other connection to the WWW to download the Starlink App. I downloaded the app to track my order from time of purchase.

After that, when you receive the equipment, one places the antenna on the ground (or anywhere with a clear view of the sky and plug the 50' cable into the antenna, it is some sort of fancy USBC cable. Then, you plug the other end of said cable into the modem/router. Plug the modem/router into a 120V standard wall outlet and the router/modem immediately starts searching for satellites and produces a wifi network and runs you through a setup where you can name the network, set a password, etc. Similar to setting up a new wifi router at your home.

After that if it's been deactivated through the app, you can simply reactivate by swiping a button on the app.

Look at the bright side @mrMet, your baseball avi will get satisfaction today, splitting their two games, and make the postseason.

And Saturday we crush Arkie.

Yeah, I was concerned for N GA and SC. They did get a ton of rain there, but I didn't anticipate W NC and NE TN getting hit so bad.

It's just undathomable that some of those areas got 4 FEET of rain during this storm - in probably the worst areas you'd want excessive rain for the reasons you mentioned.

Nolichucky Dam had almost twice the flow rate of Niagra Falls.

By far the worst I've ever seen. I think it was Hugo that dumped all that rain in 77 . It didn't was away the new bridges that were built but there still not cleared and checked for safe passage. It washed away part of the water pump station that's about 5 stories high and there's a tree on top of what's left of the building. New pumps are arriving today but still may take some time to actually start pumping . It's a mess.

What is everyone's thoughts on WR production so far this year?

Admittedly, its kind of hard to judge since we only got so many 1st & 2nd string reps against Kent St & Chatt. Then we didn't pass much against OK or NC State (~200 yards passing for each of those). Also, TEs have been a nice addition to the passing game with Staes, Kitselman, & Davis all getting involved.

Thornton has done well.
Bru is making great possession catches, a la Jauan. Also looks faster this year.
Squirrel has done okay.
Brazzell put up big numbers against Chatt & Kent St, but not much against OU & NCSU.

Should we pull the training wheels off Matthews & Staley?

What about Webb, Nimrod, Leacock?

Much ado about nothing?

Yep exactly in the first half GA rushed 5 and got beat to the outside. I say rush 4 with a spy. Our Dline is better than Georgia especially at DE. Our front 4 can create havoc of their own and let Arian Carter spy at the second level. No point in bringing pressure with linebackers to give Milroe a chance to run away from contain. Keep him in the pocket where he can’t extend drives with his legs.

If we get dinked and dunked all game I’d take that over giving up big plays and losing contain any day

I have never seen UGA get abused on the edges like they did Saturday. Even back to Richt days. That 1st half was a damn clinic.

My dad was at UT when Andrew hit and used to tell me that was pretty bad. As a kid, every time we drove to Knoxville he would point out ridgetops on the Plateau and say, "See those broken trees? That was from Andrew and they're still standing." He'd also tell me about the beetle-kill pines and which year he observed each pine stand go.... he's a nerd with a forestry degree - I come by it honest.
