    Teach me about wireless bridge.

    Yes. 2.4 is also better through drywall. But building to building with a clear line of sight that should not matter. If the OP lives in a place with 250ft between metal buildings, I would assume that 2.4 band congestion is not an issue (I live in a apartment complex where it is).

    Teach me about wireless bridge.

    5.8 has nominally a higher bandwidth. If the traffic goes from your barn is to the Internet, that doesn't matter as your speed is governed by the ISP connection.

    RSV vaccine

    TLDR on the covid detour As an asthmatic, you don't want RSV. This used to be a virus that was only a threat to young kids who had damaged lungs from premature birth and to severely immunocompromised adults. This has changed, the brand of RSV that has been going around in the past year has...

    Favorite coffee

    Just to pick up on that. I don't have any of their fancy machines that allow you to adjust temps and contact time, but I did get their 'Cup One' machine that does exactly what the name says. It makes 1 10oz cup using a little #1 filter. I find that doe me personally, 'freshly brewed' and 'hot'...

    Alec Baldwin shoots and kills cinematographer.

    Would appear to be the correct charge for all involved. Their reckless conduct ended with someone dead.

    Why is my mechanic so against a turbo?

    Had the same plane as a turbo and as a NA (A36TC vs. A36). - Engine is far more reasonable to overhaul on the NA - Maintenance on anything behind the engine is much easier without all the tubing - Better mpg for the NA - The difference in speeds was not transformational. You can burm more fuel...

    RR tracks: How close is too close?

    I have lived 200ft from a track in a 'quiet zone' and you barely knew it was there. The trains were restricted to 40mph and as it was a straight section on even ground there wasn't much of the shrieking from the flanges. All you heard was the low rumble of the engines for a few seconds. Then I...

    Eclipse jet

    Eclipse, the investment scam that happened to produce a cute little jet as a side effect. Does anyone know how many of the jetlings are still flying ? Did they get retrofitted with supportable avionics ?

    Henning gone west

    His last FB post on Jan 21 reads rather unhinged. A 'flight of ideas' dark mashup of hydrogen, world religions and free will. Everything leading up to that is standard Henning fare. I hope this is the end of what was torturing him. RiP

    The Pilots of America Unofficial Hall of Fame, Troll Edition

    I saw that. It referenced some FB posts in the Washington state boating community that state that he passed away a few weeks ago without giving details. The most recent pics of him certainly showed an aged version of who we were familiar with over the years. I briefly thought about removing my...

    The Pilots of America Unofficial Hall of Fame, Troll Edition

    My dad's brother is a retired german ship captain who ran a bar and real estate business in his later years. If you hung out with him, occasionally some of his buddies from maritime days would come by and spin some 'Yarn' about things that happened in their times on the high seas in the 50s and...

    NA - How Do I Verify the SOB is Dead (and How He Died)?

    How is the post about Dan Gryder not a personal attack???

    He is a public figure who routinely accuses pilots of misconduct or incompetence. To call him a tool when it comes to his act on YouTube is not a personal attack but a valid commentary on his business practices. To call him the 'biggest' in anything gives him too much credit.
