What is this? How is it better than Airport Extreme?
This is more of a business/enterprise type solution and is very expandable. So once you have the initial setup (a POE router or switch) you can easily add as many WiFi Access Points as you can power with your router.

Then you can adjust the outputs of the transmitters, the controller software scans the area and shows you the highest used wifi channels in your area so you can pick a less saturated channel and get improved signal quality and throughput.
-- A problem with having a multiple AEBS setup, if someone does, is that the output from one AEBS can affect the 2nd or 3rd, you don't have the ability to adjust individual outputs.
-- With this you have the option of choosing between 20 or 40MHz frequency on 2.4Ghz and then each channel on those frequncies. 20, 40, 80MHz and respective channels on 5GHz.

Being POE you can place the WAP's anywhere you can run an ethernet cable to, the newer UAP AC models are indoor/outdoor. So I mounted mine on the ceiling in an area of the house with the least amount of walls nearby, while you can do that with an Airport, there is more involved.

I've used multiple Airport Base Station setups in my homes for 6-7 years and I've wanted a setup like this for quite some time I just never got around to doing it until now.

Also IF you want more control than what the Airport Utility gives you, 1 example is you have much more Firewall control over incoming and outgoing packets. Another example like running network-wide Ad-Blocking.

IMO, it is probably the closest, easy to use "Apple like" solution with enterprise level equipment... that I've used.
I do also run some Meraki Cisco equipment at work and it is super simple to setup out the box but they do have annual subscription fees on top of hardware cost.

https://www.ubnt.com is the website.

Is this your first hydro flask? If so you're going to love it. I have 2, 32oz and the 18oz best water bottle ever!

Yep! I heard a lot of great things about this bottle and being on the go a lot, this sounds perfect. I was sold on it keeping liquid cold for over, I think, 18 hours?! Yes, please!
 
My most recent purchase was two Coldplay tickets. One for their concert in Copenhagen (Denmark) and another for one of their concerts on Wembley Stadium.

My first pair of RedWing boots. They hurt like a motha, but I've read once they break in, they're phenomenal. I also bought myself some new cologne.
Nice to see someone else with Red Wing's. And even the Iron Ranger :D The Iron Ranger was also my first par of Red Wing's. Now I have three all in all. And yes - they hurts like heaven the first 2-3 weeks. But after that they are the best thing you could imagine. They become like sculpted to your feet.

May I ask... why don't they have inserts? Do your Iron Rangers have a removable insert? Do they expect us to buy our own? Should I not be wearing them without an insert?

Get the conditioning creme Red Wing sells.

I drenched my boots in the shower for about 15 minutes, then slipped them on and wore them around for a few hours. Now, they are as comfortable as slippers.

Red wing sells inserts. Some people need inserts, others do not. I have a high arch so inserts help. I highly recommend them for comfort.
 
Purchased this inexpensive polisher/buffer from Harbor Fright today for buffing aluminium, brass, and copper. Haven't used it yet other than burning it in for 30 minutes and putting it under a load. It's more than powerful enough for my needs. I got it on sale for 25% off the $39.99 list price. It's built well and should last for years. If you're interested, here's a link

Harbor Freight is like the toy store to my dad!
 
We have one fairly close as well. Not always great quality, but cheap and solid warranty.
Agreed about the quality in most cases, but this buffer is built well, and should last a long time especially since it's not an everyday tool for me. The motor is smooth with very little vibration, and there's no noticeable runout on the shafts. For $32 and change including tax, one can't complain even if it only lasts a couple of years, right?

I have never used inserts in any of mine. I have just used them without.
 
I ordered a new helmet as long as SA2010 helmets are discounted substantially now that the SA2015 helmets are available. My old helmet was starting to get kind of funky...
