I don't get "iced coffee". So it's coffee that you put over ice because you're a girl and can't drink it hot?

No. I drink iced coffee cuz its brewed way stronger than straight coffee and I can rapidly consume an entire drink without waiting for it to cool down

Sipping hot coffee is for cheating pussies.

I drink hot coffee by the gulp along with my vodka enema. Breakfast of champions.

which model is that? if the coverage is that good it would solve some of the issues i have

Keep in mind most modern wireless networks utilize dual bands/dual radios to solve the speed issues when a G or B client joins a faster network. Not everything is on N.

my issues arent with speed its with coverage and getting things to play nice with each other. i really dont need N speed. actually im not sure i even have a device that can do N, i just need to cover the entire house/yard. if 1 device can do that its a win win

some custom firmwares like dd-wrt allow for strengthening the signal. it made a huge difference on my old AP. we are in a 3.5 story townhouse with lots of competing signals and it was fine.

since then i wired the house and just use the verizon router for the less important stuff

I still don't know how to pour properly... they bubble too much thus lose the CO2.

Ah yes, the fizz loss!

Here's how I do it:
Pour the (cold) Coke in the glass, much like a beer, tilt the glass & pour slowly, the less foam the better.
Once all the Coke is in the glass, gently lower the ice into the coke.

Voila: fizzy Coke in a glass!
Refreshing!

It's glass... Don't drop them...got mine from dollar store, basically Anchor rejects.

Those are so stupidly fragile that it's not funny. Someone in the house broke at least 3 or 4 over 2 years. They usually fell into the sink a whole couple inches.

Think I saw them at crappy tire last week for cheap - comes in a package of at least 4.

also, wetting the ice helps because dry ice has a rough surface, too many nucleation sites for bubbles to form.
