Weren't we just talking about how Racketboy needs new and original threads as opposed to just bumping old mass threads? All this TV & DVD talk is a prime example.

I wish I could find somewhere to ask comic questions where I could get answers to questions that don't come off with a random list of individual floppies where I have no idea how they fit together. Even specifically asking for trades/Omnibuses I get a list like "Batman 645-647, Nightwing 4-12, Justice League 45, and Detective comics 72". That's great, but what storyline is that? Does it have a name? Is it collected anywhere?

Usually the GNs have a subtitle that indicates that, though not always.

I love graphic T-shirts that are really subtle. Like a reference you would only get if you were a fan. I found a variation of this shirt in the mall the other day...



...and picked it up. It's from the recent movie adaptation of It (the King novel).

True, though the info on wikis and the like seems to stay about 2 years behind, which can be frustrating. I still get suggested Long Halloween and Dark Victory, but there's an omnibus that includes both of those and Catwoman in Rome, but nobody ever mentions it.

Catwoman in Rome sounds like a naughty medieval tract some novice priest is hiding behind a brick in his alcove.

I bought an expensive wifi repeater and it failed after few uses. I am disgusted by the quality of manufactured products today. It is very often that you purchase an item and it will malfunction. Hard to accept coming from the 90s where if an electronic device would malfunction after 2 years of use is considered "cheap quality".

You know the old saying? "Fast, inexpensive, and reliable: pick 2." Most of the time, I'd say it is pretty accurate. However, I have been very impressed with Ubiquiti network gear as of late. It seems to be all three with a little tweaking.

Something not everyone knows about their Unifi line of products is that they can all be mesh access points (not just the ones advertised as mesh). Mesh doesn't suffer the same performance hit that extenders do. I'd give them a look. https://www.ui.com/products/#unifi

Grab an Orbi router and satellite. I'm finding it is fantastic. It does cost a little bit, but it's damn effective.
