See if there is a setting to put it into bridged mode.


There isn't. I was using bridge mode on my old Xfinity modem with this TPLink, but the newest firmware on the ATT has no bridge mode, oddly enough.

Just switched to ATT Fiber, and their modem/router is garbage.

I have Gigabit TPLINJ AC130, and I wanna bypass/disable the ATT router and use my own, but Im having some issues.

ATTs router firmware is garbage. Do I use IP pass through? Im so confused. Ive always been decent at router configuration, but this one is driving me crazy that I cant get it to work.

For allocation mode, I have it set to default server, and have set the default server internal address to my TPLINK IP address. For pass through mode it only lets me select DHCPS-fixed.

Have my own router plugged into one of the ATT router ports, and its not letting my own router use the internet connection.

What am I doing wrong?

it's 1:1 map with no time acceleration. So, have fun doing a whole lot of nothing. Even America/Europe truck sim knows to cheat in between cities. And the largest airports are locked behind paywalls if you don't want the auto generated version (Denver, Ohare, heathrow, San Francisco, Dubai, Frankfurt, and a few others) Want to fly between europe and america? enjoy looking at the same ocean for 5-6 hours.


I mean...it is a simulator. What did you expect?

Multiple pictures in the OP, where he has no mask.

Again, Ive been on 4 plane flights in the last week, and if youre eating or drinking, youre just supposed to pull the mask down and take a sip or bite. Its simple.

Except theres no mask in the picture at all. I was just on 4 flights this past week, and if youre eating or drinking, youre supposed to just quickly pull the mask down to your chin and take a drink or whatever.

Hes clearly not doing that or being respectful of other peoples safety.

The fact that hes able to be friendly to Trump after how brutal Donnie was about Cruzs wife was says everything about Ted Cruzs character.

Hes a spineless cuck ass bitch.

If you have been struck by lightning and die while having covid, would that be listed as a covid death?


No.

Now, one thing to consider. When hospitals are getting overran, and ICU beds and ERs are full, other medical emergencies are impacted too.

People have died because they cant get the care they need due to the capacity of hospitals. Should those count as Covid deaths? I dont think so. BUT. Those people might have survived if this pandemic wasnt a thing.

I feel like counting those deaths is actually appropriate, possibly.

The suggestion that they'll just get replaced runs into the fact that states had teacher shortages owing to poor pay even before covid. There isn't a swarm of young teachers aching for a job in Arizona.

My wife is a teacher, she absolutely loves her job and district but has been considering quitting because she is terrified of going back in September. The concern is that we have a very young child at home this puts at risk.

however we do need her income so we are kind of at a loss of what to do. It has been very hard at home these last few days, we feel like the govt is forcing her to risk her own family.


Yep. A lot of my teacher friends and I are all in the same situation. Its terrible :/

I honestly would be shocked if they do ask us to return to classrooms, only because most of our parents have told us that they want to keep their kids at home for their safety. In fact, I had parents freaking out a week before we closed, telling me that they were so worried about their kids taking the bus and being exposed to the virus.

In the case that they do ask us to return in person, I fully expect another school closure almost immediately.

BTW, I'm starting to get a lot better at lesson planning for online lessons. They're not perfect obviously but you can do some fun things online, lol. I'm currently teaching summer school online and it's been an absolute joy.


Thats a good point. If almost no kids are going back...what would be the point of sending teachers in person though? I think a decent district wouldnt risk their teachers like that. Hopefully.

I teach band, and its been a huge pain in the ass teaching online. Fine arts are NOT meant for online learning or teaching.

I think the craziest thing is no one really has a plan yet on what to do if an outbreak happens in a school. Do teachers get paid medical leave if they quarantine? Do they have to use up sick days? Do kids get to miss penalty free? theyre letting it be up to the school districts to decide, but most districts are too scared to currently make any decisions, and school starts in like a month or so in most places.

Realistically if I want to keep my job I'll have to be at schoolbat least every other week. Seems like our district is headed towards A and B weeks. A are in school, B are virtual.

so do you think parents are ok with that? Are the kids? Will kids even go back? Im sure a lot wont want to. I know there are a lot that miss it, but I also know there are a LOT of kids who absolutely despise the traditional school system.
