I'm most likely to die as a result of being a smart-ass at precisely the wrong time.
I'm okay with that.

Before you can ignore a problem, you have to first admit to yourself that you have a problem.

I've actually left instructions with my wife that when I die, I want her to announce it here. That way, y'all can set up appropriate memorials, arrange celebrations, and maybe even a forum titled, "What Would JSOP Do?".

I know you're busy, so you can really put it off until after I'm gone.

Are you kidding? Why do you think CP's latency just went up by a factor of 3?

And by surviving a massive stroke for 2 days on the floor, I've offered partial proof that that applies to me!

I don't want more speed out of my Wi-Fi connection; it's already much faster than what my ISP can provide. I want reliability through a stronger signal.
Right now, I still haven't seen any significant difference in terms of reliability, having gone through 802.11b, g, n and ac routers over the years, and still often losing the signal to it momentarily, when sitting on the porch outside the house, essentially a few feet below and on a diagonal from the router. Perhaps 15 feet (top) in a straight line, going through a brick wall.
(And yes, not only have I gone through multiple routers, but I'm seeing the same with various laptops and tablets. Wireless simply sucks IMO.)

Maybe you should move to a new house, you know one of those Japanese ones with paper walls

Nah. Wires for me. If I absolutely want to be outdoors, and wired, then the Ethernet-over-powerlines adapter I have works in the gazebo in the backyard.

I'll bet you had even better choices. So, taking a gamble that you wager options carefully.

It looks quite simple, isn't it ?
In about 30 minutes, you have satellites deployed.
It is a wonder how material science, computer simulation (finite element method/analysis), engineering methods for construction rapid prototyping and quality control and all the software engineering has improved in the last 50 years (*)
(*) with at least one exception of the units blunder in the Mars Lander mission.
I'd rather be phishing!

Herself has a sore throat, so I was searching our local supermarket websites for throat lozenges - the two tend to have different prices and I have to go to both anyway.
And the "related products I might like" on one site? Whisky, Brandy, Vodka, ...
I like the algorithm ...

No one drinks Irish whiskey (other than Bailey's, ie drowned with cream), so "whisky" is just fine in everyday use.
