Welcome back to the comment of the week. Hope you are staying warm and busy. Somewhat of a quieter week here at DFO comment wise. Monday started out with the “sproting event you’d like to have attended” draft. Some good work done there to pick events that I’d forgotten about. Tuesday brought us moar AWFL, Jalen and thread on working remotely. Wednesday got us hungry early, maybe!?!, with Snaxx and then some wasslin to end the day. I’ve learned more about wrestling from those than any show, thanks JJD. Thursday got us battle bots and the open thread got into racism in the NFL (duh), but a good read. Friday got us more drinks from sharky. Got to say that I love that the posts are live before one could order said drink if bars were actually open, assuming pre-pandimic wise timing. Saturday was Litre reacts reasonably to VAR and then we chatted about AFL trading cards. And we ended the week with Sunday Gravy Takeout. Makes me sad that there’s not a Jollibee near me.
As a reminder, this post will cover comments made up to and through the Saturday Night Open Thread. Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.
Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.

J.J. Watt: “I’m going to win a championship in Arizona.”
Larry Fitzgerald: hysterically laughing mixing into hysterically crying that eventually takes over.
OR
Larry Fitzgerald: “Go ahead! Throw your career away!”

Year 3 of the Kliff Kingsbury experiment and Arizona seems to be all in on….reaching the post-season once.

Today’s Mock Draft shows we’re all a bunch of perverts. Nearly 300 last week. Less than half that this week.

I am not even remotely surprised.

Chelsea and Kristen have perfect shoulders. That’s as close to “in love” as I can safely gets.
Why is Balls not cast on this show already??

The only way I would be in this show is as a Single. And I would do my damndest every day and night to break up as many couples as possible.

So, just to explain about some of the changes in the matches. Between Covid and the Florida freeze, lots of folks could not make it to Jacksonville for the tapings.
Or maybe, and hear me out on this, they realized that they had to go to Jacksonville???

See. Sometimes smarks are right.
And the obligatory post-match confrontation. I am in the wrong mood to comment on wrestling. I think my pad is leaking.
You should try the kind with wings. Game changer.

Here is my controversial position.
There are two political positions in conflict. Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Association.
Freedom of Speech: You can say what ever you want. The government can’t stop you.
Freedom of Association: I get to hear what you say. I get to choose if I want to associate with you any more. This is why companies get to choose to no longer associate with people they disagree with. Or if their money-making customers no longer want to associate with. Disney is not responding out of some deep moral code. They are responding to dollars. Full stop.

I am stealing this. I don’t know where I heard it.
Deep in the flooded caves of South America, there is a specific species of albino fish. It cannot see, and has never seen the light of the sun. It exists on the flecks of decaying animals that have fallen into the top of the cave.
That fish is more interested in Kim Kardashian than I am.

That was a fucking prick of a week.
I hate co-presenting shit and I had to do that remotely today. The dude with the conch is fucking useless at screen sharing. I had slides 13 to 38 of 42. By slide 7 he is struggling. I had a puff before nor going to lie, but I figure stoned Litre is going to help impatient Litre. I offer do screen share my screen which means I not once had to say “next slide” through the whole damn thing. Went at my pace and fucking nailed it because I didnt have to wait for Larry from Regina.
Thank you for coming to teleconferencing with stoned Litre.

Giving Decilitre a bath, turn to grab my glass of wine (am klassie), take a sip, turn back. He had grabbed my wedding ring from the ledge and made it a cockring. Somethings you can’t unsee.

“[Horatio] poured a beer down his other throat with the plan that it would head the previous one off at the pass, join forces with it, and together they would get the second one to pull itself together. Then all three would go off in search of the first, give it a good talking to and maybe a bit of a sing as well. He felt uncertain as to whether the fourth beer had understood all that, so he sent a fifth to explain the plan more fully and a sixth for moral support.”

Never been to one of these Jollibee’s places, but I imagine that they have the banana ketchup there. My first experience with that was at a McDonald’s on MacArthur Highway (aka Blow Road) in Angeles City just outside Clark AB almost 40 years ago. Banana ketchup is some weird shit.
Viva La Tabula Raza
I think I saw Banana Ketchup open for Phish.
Just kidding.
I would never go see Phish.

Looking to see where the closest location* is to me on their website shows me there is a new province of “Toronto”. Must have missed the news. And for those outside of Toronto, I await the jokes.
*I’m an hour away, booo

The Toronto province is in Canada. It’s in the Niagara Falls area. You wouldn’t know it.

In the most American Covid thing ever, I had to get assigned to a job in the fucking Middle East to get a fucking Covid Vaccine.

Thanks for all the comments and funny and everything else.
Stay busy and safe out there.

This was beautiful
I think I need a wi-fi booster or signal extender. Anyone know if it matters much what kind I get? Is this the kind of thing where the $100 units are likely to be much better than the $30 ones?
I don’t have that much area to cover; it’s just that my router is located on the second floor and most of my use is on the ground floor or the patio just outside. The Cloudcheck app confirms my suspicions that it’s mostly my wifi and not the broadband connection that is slowing me down.
The pricetag is less important than you’d think (ditto the brand), though I’d suggest you go with a known decent on (ie TP-Link, ASUS) with good reviews on Amazon (preferably after cross-checking via google if people have complained about it or not).
That said – 2 kinda important points
Thanks. Although, if I hardline it, it’s not really an extender, is it? I would essentially just be replacing my existing wireless. Which might be the right answer — it’s probably pretty old by now — but wasn’t what I had in mind. There’s no practical way to run a long cable from the router to the ground floor.
Honestly, outside of enterprise-grade gear, the biggest difference between a WiFi extender and an access point is how the connection between it and the router is handled (in general) – AP’s are using a hardline and extenders use a wireless link (either a separate dedicated radio on the more expensive models or share the transceiver on the cheaper ones). In fact, the difference is made even more trivial by the fact that most routers (going from cheapies like the D-LInk-GO’s) from the past decade also can be used as an extender and/or access point XD. I just wanted to be clear that the “promises” on the box can be a bit misleading as the way the extenders are connected can have repercussions on how many devices they can handle in the 2 modes of operation, which can become painfully obvious if you have a sufficient enough of wireless devices trying to use the same extended WiFi segment (it can be as bad as 6 in wireless vs 25+ in wired mode, because the embedded CPU is more overtaxed by the extra signal processing needed for WiFi only work)
Also, funny enough, you don’t have to run a cable to do a hardline connection from your router to elsewhere in your place as you can actually use your home’s electrical wiring for that – look up “powerline wifi extender” 😉
That^ said, so long as you have realistic expectations on what an extender’s pros and cons are, you may still be perfectly happy with one (especially if you don’t have …good grief, 12 “connected” devices just in your general vicinity) – especially if you go with a “known” brand and at least an AC1200(or better 1750) or better unit.
AC being the WiFi standard (shortened for 802.11ac) also known as WiFi5 that will work with your current and future devices just fine (the beauty of backward compatibility). In theory, you should get WiFi6, but at this point the price differential is too great and the benefit is only felt when ALL your devices are WiFi6 capable (well, not quite, but that’s the simple version), so there’s no point in paying 2-3x the sticker price of an equivalent AC1200/1750 unit 😀
Porto woo! What a game.
Nunavit with a shot at their first win at The Brier — they’re tied after eight ends against PEI, though the Islanders hold the hammer. I know you’re all excited!
… and PEI scores three in the 9th.
Hurrah, a win for the white guys!
About time they caught a break.
I’m not sure why litre would want me in an AFL tipping ring … but I accepted before he changes his mind 😀
(Also, I have to admit… I forgot about the proper footy tipping… probably because it was easier to avoid it than get enraged when Arsenal arsed things up yet again :D)
I dropped out because I kept missing all the mid-week games. This season has been hard to keep up with.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA Chiesa got Beebe’d.
Ay Juve.
2-3!
Larry from Regina had control, and it did not go as smoothly. Did the supervisors ask the same questions as last time? You know they did……
Today in “Curling Terms That Sound Dirty But Aren’t,” we have “need to hit right here in the crotch and take out both of their stones.”
Also, “sorry, I should have got you off there.”
Definitely deserves an apology.
Have to do the same damn presentation with Larry from Regina today, with the fucking union. Oh joy. Why can’t the folks on the ground do their damn jobs?????
Because life’s a balance… and something has to balance out the chemically-induced mellow and chill by your “medicine” 😀
record it and then they can play it when ever the fuck they want and not bother you again.
If that worked in any shape, way or form (and it won’t, because we’re not in Narnia), going that route would just end with “Now that you have more free time, why don’t you X” where X is as undesireable OR WORSE as doing a presentation with Larry from Regina
Sounds like a job for “Technical Difficulties”
“Hey, did you guys know that Regina rhymes with Vagina? Maybe that’s why Larry’s such a cunt. Anyway, if you’ll look at this slide, you’ll see that in the 3rd quarter we….”
Litre, just going out in a blaze of glory.
“Sorry, should’ve said ‘gash’ instead of ‘cunt’ but then I did smoke an entire dimebag an hour ago, so right now I don’t care about you cunts at all.”
9AM
Larry – Hey, can you present again today?
Litre- Where is this for?
Larry – Same place, they just want the union involved.
Litre – OK, I guess
