Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

Dualstow, we expect more of you. You accused Vinny of still using his old computer while a new one he spent good money on sits "next to" the old one. Turns out that's not even close to true! It's probably a good 2 feet farther away than that. Please do some more fact checking before posti...

Re: Replacing Xfinity (Comcast) modem

Took the modem out of the box, read all the instructions, and noted all relevant information related to it.

Question.

Can I use a splitter to send the Xfinity (Comcast) input to two separate modems? Or, am I only allowed only one modem connection?

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

Microsoft has unveiled AI PCs. Now, I don’t know whether I want one or not, but all I can think about, Vinny, is your yet unused dream machine sitting next to the old one you’re working on. O0 It is not sitting next to it. The one I am using is on this table (sitting on its predecessor). The unused...

Re: Replacing Xfinity (Comcast) modem

Just google best modems for Comcast. I really loved Google’s On Hub router while it lasted. Now I’m using Fios’ router and have nothing to recommend. I bought the recommended one above: NETGEAR Nighthawk Xfinity Modem with Voice (CM2050V) Cable Modem DOCSIS 3.1 Gigabit, Supports Cable Plans Up to 2...

I love borscht. I don’t know if that’s a stock photo or hers but it looks better than any borscht I’ve ever had. I thought maybe you’d be introducing her to Hong Kong delights.

Re: Replacing Xfinity (Comcast) modem

Vinny, if Verizon FiOS is available in your area you might tell Comcast you are considering switching. Could be a good bargaining tactic to get Comcast to give you a better deal. I’ve had good luck bargaining with Verizon. Comcast got me out of Verizon DSL. There is zero discussion of Verizon FiOS ...

Replacing Xfinity (Comcast) modem

Today I made some changes to my Xfinity (Comcast) account. I've been with them for many years and have been paying them $15 a month to rent their modem due to my inertia in not installing my own modem. With the change in my internet speed from 300 to 500 down (100 up with each) they are now going to...

This year I obviously set and all-time record by doing the first one a few weeks ago.


Was this due to unseasonable warmth?


No. I wanted to take care of all I can before I do my vegetable garden planting.

Re: Why Value?

I looked at value funds really hard and couldn't bring myself to believe in them. I think for a value fund to continuously work it would have to be a highly active fund. From what I could remember, all of the historical out performance is based on indexes that were not actual funds during the out p...
