  1. No, it's 2 static routes added to your router.  I only have one router.  Google's 2 DNS servers are hard-coded in to the roku now, so you have to add routes in to your router to force the requests that your roku is trying to send to google back to your router and then on to unlocator.  Unlocator has instructions on how to do it on their website for most router brands.  If you setup your router to use unlocator's DNS servers and add the static routes, any device using your internet connection will be able to get around the blackout restrictions.  It's the easiest and best way to do it.  It's also the only way to do it for any android devices since Google DNS servers are hard-coded in to them as well.

  2. Do you have a roku section on your tv remote?  My roku isn't built in and when I press the option button on my harmony remote, the mlb app options come up like they are supposed to.  Have you tried updating the firmware on your tv?  That sounds like a bug.

  3. I setup up my router last night so I can watch mlb.tv on our roku.  You have to add 2 static routes to stop the roku from getting to Google's DNS servers.   It was nice of my MLB.tv subscription to auto-renew.

  4. No, rich people who gave a shit about the average American were just as rare back then.  Rupert Murdoch doesn't have shit on William Randolph Hearst and Jay Gould was such an asshole he makes just about any other billionaire look like Mother Theresa.

  5. Donald Trump lies every fucking day.  Explain to me why I should believe anything he says.  Of course Cohen is slime ball.  Why else do you think Trump employed him as a fixer for over a decade?

  6. The Roman Republic had a similar law that serving consuls and proconsuls could not be prosecuted.  Julius Caesar was worried he would be prosecuted after his term as proconsul of Gaul and Illyricum was up if he wasn't re-elected as consul in Rome before that happened.  So he decided to start a Civil War instead just to be safe.

  7. I understand that, but United and Southwest have fewer flights now than they did 2 years ago.  Southwest only has one direct flight a day from Texas now and it's arrival time makes making the water taxi tighter than I am comfortable with.  United only has 2.  I guess it's possible other airlines have squeezed them out, but they definitely aren't flying to Belize as often as they used to.

  8. What is going on with airfare prices to Belize?  Right now the best I can find for late June is $1,000 for the two of us and that has us connecting in Dallas.  Southwest and United direct flights are both $1,500 and have been that way for awhile.  It also seems like there are fewer flights than the last time we went 2 years ago.

  9. I think the State stepping in is what will happen at my friend's school.  The teacher who he tried to stab is apparently thinking about pressing charges to force the issue since the school isn't doing anything about it.

    I suppose I could go with Dish and just subscribe to HBONow, too. 

    That's a bit much, but I really do despise DirecTV. 

    This is actually AT&T/DirecTV's fault.  AT&T owns Time Warner which owns HBO and they are trying to fuck Dish by requiring them to either charge an arm an a leg for the HBO package to their customers or eat the loss themselves.  AT&T is going to have to be broken up again eventually.  They promised they would never do something like this when the AT&T and Time Warner merger was in the approval process which they then reneged on at the first opportunity.

  11. She was saying that there is a special ed coordinator in their district who dictates everything they do with the kid.  To her knowledge this person has never actually met or  talked to the child, even though he is a huge problem and someone that legitimately has the teachers there scared about what he'll do next.  It's not a huge district either.  It's a 4A (3A before the change) school in a small town.

  12. Also, you want to make sure you are up to date on all your shots.  Last time I looked a few years ago, the State Dept also recommended getting a typhoid vaccination for that part of the world.  It's good for 2 years.  You will have to go somewhere that does travel medicine because your regular doc probably doesn't do them.

    My wife is a teacher.  She teaches a high school Functional Living Skills class.  That is the severe Special Ed class for thenyone wondering.  She started in 2012.  She will make just over $40k this year which includes a $1k special ed stipend.  

    In her class she has 12 students with 2 aids to support her.  I could tell you some absolutely crazy stories about stuff that has happened in her class.  Most of it you wouldn't believe.  To spare time I will only share one though.  She has a student right now that is very violent.  He punches himself in the face multiple times a day.  Worse though, is that he charges after and hits the teachers in the room.  They have gotten good at avoiding this by now thankfully.  He will charge at my wife 5 or 6 times a day.  His mom drops him off at 7 and picks him up at 4.  He clearly can't roam the halls so my wife has to be there that whole time.  Awhile back he charged at my wife while she was helping another student, he hit her knocking her down into a desk face first.  He was restrained, cops called, escorted off campus and parents picked him up.  The next day he was back in her class like nothing happened because they couldn't punish him in any way for fear of lawsuits.  The bruising was so bad that someone pulled her aside later and asked if I was abusing her.

    On top of dealing with all of that my wife has done so much to improve her student's lives.  She has paid out of pocket for them to be able to participate in special Olympics.  She coaches the special olympics on Saturdays.  She does a ton, all without complaining about anything.

    They are many teachers just like her.  Anyone bashing teachers and my wife can go to fucking hell.  You are an ignorant fool.

    A friend was telling me about a similar situation at the school where she teaches.  They have a special ed kid there who has made multiple threats against students and faculty.  He has tried to stab a teacher with a pair of scissors.  Luckily he's only 10 or 11 and the teacher was able to get them away from him before he hurt her.  Somehow the kid is still in school.
