Netflix is pissing me the @#$% off. My credit card expires this month and it requires a card with an expiration date later than this month. So I HAVE the new card. Went in to update my info. Netflix's gorram website keeps timing out trying to update my s***. Meanwhile I can't watch anything because they won't accept my old, perfectly valid credit card because it won't let them bill me next month.

Come to think of it, EVERY TIME I try to use the Netflix website (not a Netflix app on some device) it loads slower than a Prius with dead batteries. Get your s*** together, Netflix.

***holes.

I've never had an issue with Netflix personally.

Chris or Adam - Adam you recommended the Netgear router I bought a while back. It has been having some major issues lately. I have to reset it 2-3 times minimum a day, or it starts cutting in and out. I tried a factory reset and the firmware is up to date, but it's still teh suck. Is it time to replace it, or do you have any advice?

Anything hard wired works fine, but anything wireless randomly loses connection when it's acting up.

I bought one last year and have rode it maybe five times. I need to get back to hitting the trails again and try to drop some more weight. I highly recommend a gel seat though... Even when I regularly mountain biked, I couldn't deal with the small seats.

Try playing with the seat adjustment.
My butt hurt until I fine tuned it, then I could ride for hours.
But of course, if you have a crappy saddle, it's gonna hurt regardless.

Which model did you buy?

And unfortunately I don't have any advice. I'm still rocking the same netgear router I've had for 3+ years now. So I haven't kept up on the current models' features/performance/etc.

Bell stuff is pretty good for the price.
I have one of these on my regular bike.

Super comfy. The problem with some gel saddles is that some are too soft, then that puts pressure on your soft tissues, which cuts off circulation. Then your d!ck falls off.

I also have a turbo for my lighter bicycle, but it's a saddle. :chuckle:

Very little cushion, I haven't spent much time on adjusting it yet though. Supposed to be quite comfy.

If I don't like it, I'll just buy a leather saddle from Brooks.

And I misread your original post. Advice on what to try... You said wireless will work and then randomly kick out? Kind of a random shot in the dark, but have you tried disabling NAT filtering?

I don't think so. I'll take a look here in a few.

I have had this issue with other routers too, so I'm getting tired of buying a new one every couple of years.

Sounds like someone is using the same channel as you nearby. Maybe upgrade to a 2/5 GHz router?

Ace, it could be worse. I know a guy at work who still has a personal grudge against Carter for taking away his beer in the post-Gulf War parade.

Not Gulf War; wrong President. I don't remember when it was he served, but he was in some parade in New York City, and Jimmy Carter sent word down that "No beer at the parade," and he never forgave him.

That movie wasn't very good. What's all the fuss about? The story is BAD. Full of deus ex machina, holes, and dirt swept under the carpet. The ending was particularly terrible. Makes me glad I didn't waste my time on the books.
I think its because it was well-timed. Not much else was out at the time and a bunch of people were/are unemployed so the hype kept building.

Morning!

I got behind a truck this morning with a sticker in the rear window that read "I may be slow, but I'm in front of you". What is that supposed to mean? This individual is proud to be annoying people by driving slowly? I can't think of any way for that sticker to put the driver in a positive light...

Basically all that says is "hi, I'm a flaming douche. Nice to annoy you. Have a bad day."
