        You must be too young! She was the female singer in the fugees in mid 90's, as well as a bit of a solo stuff soon after. Very little in recent years though.

        Look at me, talking about music.

          Is she any relation to Benny?

            Can you check me here to make sure I understand the idea:

            You plug one device into the wall and hook it to the modem with a LAN cable. This uses the house's power network to sling the connection to plug points everywhere else in the house. You then plug a second device into a plug point in a room you want to have a solid connection, this will have an ethernet port to connect to. For some models, the second device can also create a wifi hotspot, which will be of better 'quality' than what you'd get if you just use a wifi signal booster.

            Have I got it?

            Basically the house is three floors and I want to have decent wifi in the top room but the router is on the ground floor.

                  That's the gist of it As I understand it. Handy for getting internet out to the shed/games room in the garden or whatever.

                      The have to be on the same circuit. We have two in our house, so we had to put the second one in a different area as the one closest to my bedroom is on a different circuit.

                      We have the TP Link one, there were 3 in it. Does the job great for us. Not had to reset it so far!

                          Any idea how I would check or find out if my rooms are on different circuits?

                                    That was passed by about 7 votes!
                                    It was a very conservative proposal and probably affected more people's lives directly than abortion but the bad guys sowed so much fear and loathing they almost got there.

                                        Both sides of this debate should be ashamed of some of the vile insulting behaviour engaged. No matter how worthy your cause , we cannot contemplate a Liverpool victory on Saturday

                                          Yeah I see in all the reviews that the speeds quoted are total fantasy.

                                            Whole house will be on one meter/board. But there be at least a couple of separate circuits.

                                            Check the fuse board/circuit breakers. Outlet circuits will probably be labelled. If there's one one outlet circuit they are all on it. If there's multiple then flip breakers one at a time and see what is on each

                                                I would probably need the extra adapter so the fact that this comes with three is a plus.

                                                  25 quid cheaper on amazon, just read the reviews there.

                                                  I was in Pc World the other day asking for thermal paste, they had no idea what it even was (and it's on their site), may that MTV of shops just close down.

                                                      i've only heard bad things about the BT ones, get netgear or TP link, and no point getting less than 1200Mbps if you have or will have fast BB or fiber, especially if you intend to stream or play games

                                                            Just a fancy wifi booster in a pretty package. I'd probably get it if I had a place big enough to warrant it, not an issue for the foreseeable future
                                                            Netgear's Orbi is faster, shitter app and probably worse support. There's also googles onHub and some other brands.

Fully isolated circuits shouldn't work without some sort of wireless bridge unless I'm misunderstanding the technology.

Was planning on trying to set up a spare router to act as a extender this weekend. Mesh could be a backup when I cock it up.

                                                                                                        I would have bet the world on the gay marriage coming in, this one I would be much less sure, but hope to be proven wrong.

                                                                                                        If the no vote does win, when can it be repealed again? Friday night/Saturday day will be madness regardless.
                                                                                                        Go big or go homeless.

                                                                                                          I think the people often confuse the margin with the chances of that outcome.
                                                                                                          Almost 40% of turnout voted against it gay marriage, yet it was probably close to 95+% chance of passing imo.

                                                                                                          Similarly here. The chance of the yes vote is somewhere between 50-80% imo.
                                                                                                          But the range of yes votes is 47-60% or so.

Years ago I was prescribed ativan, and although I have no recollection of it was told by friends later that I'd been knocking them back at the bar with straight whiskey.
                                                                                                              That reminds me, I better get some Ativan for my flights this weekend!

Had a chat and hopefully dispelled half of the shit she was being told and said that I really hoped that her 2 daughters never have the need to use any of these services etc. Brought up if they were raped and she had to ship them abroad.

                                                                                                              It's the whole abortion up to 12 weeks, no questions asked she is against.

I think the 120k new registrations plus the home to vote crowd amount to close to a ten per cent head start for the Yes side. On top of polls that have been very consistently starkly in favour of Yes and a No campaign that appears to have run out of steam I can't see where the swong would come from.

                                                                                                                No needed something huge to happen in the last two weeks and all that's happened is Yes has wiped the floor with them in three debates.

                                                                                                                This would be a far bigger shock than Brexit at this point.
