With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.

The tv news reported rain happened in Greenland, the temp was 33F.

Winning under a red sun.

We've got some heavy spring showers!

Ordered some Mac&Cheese, A-D pills, & Vinegar from Amazon, hopefully the 2nd attempted order of powdered eggs won't vanish...

I not only live in a real desert, but in a food desert as well, yep the double whammy...

+7 Days on DISH Network, NO ISSUES!!!!! :-) :-D

I should have quoted Data, yesterday....

"...Fixed indicates a state of permanency that I cannot guarantee. I will say that it is well patched."

Today; however, I WILL state that the issue of the dropping of Internet/Network connectivity to
the MESH Router Node IS FIXED!!!!! NOW, IF this lasts through to tomorrow, I will consider the
matter NOT ONLY fixed, BUT TOTALLY RESOLVED and Closed....

Pray for me and my family that the last six months of HELL is over.

DISH Network SHOULD REQUIRE ALL DISH Installations where a Customer has U-Verse Internet
that a DISH HIC device ALWAYS gets installed at the Hopper DVR to prevent/eliminate connectivity
issues!!!!! This would have prevented SIX MONTHS OF HELL for us!

Have TARDIS, will travel...
Come along K-9!
Join Calm Chaos

Yep, device and protocol standards should be (required to be) reliably standard...

... With no 'adapters' needed...

... And then instead we have the frustrations and arbitrary costs of Marketing 'segmentation' and even manufacturer lock-in...


Good luck! Hope your work-around hangs in there!!

200/10 $ 74.99(wifi is $5 more)
400/20 $ 94.99(wifi is $5 more)
1GB/35 $134.99(no wifi is indicated at this speed)

My modem can do 400/20 if I wanted to and if I didn't mind spending $20 more a month, but I find 200/10 is enough here so why bother.

My ethernet can go as high as 1GB, but then I made sure it could.

This morning after a nap I found a bug on me, so I took it outside and blew it away from my home and me.

I pay $70 a month for the Xfinity 1.2 Terabyte plan. But this is what I seem to actually get.

The total might be 1.2. I have three kids, TV, and phones on the line too.

Go StarLink?...


Strangely, very strangely, only just now, after over two decades of procrastination/monopoly/assets-sweating, is our primary carrier for the UK reluctantly installing fibre-to-the-home after lingering far to many decades with decrepit "ADSL"...

Strange that, just now how somehow fibre suddenly becomes possible?...


Good luck!

Asap I'm tempted to commit mass bugacide with a bug bomb, of course then I need to find lodging for Grace and me for a night in October, my car's DMV fee is in September, then if any show up again repeat, Hot Shot has a fogger that is compatible w/pilot lights and can cover my entire home with 1 can, 2 hours of airing out and we can move back in after laying waste to bugs, mass bugacide.

I get on the sofa and I start itching, feels like fiberglass, my exposed skin itches.

Winning on a sunny Sunday morning.

Cheers.

Keep anything DEET well away from any animals...

The stink from some of that stuff I used recently was enough to make me feel a little sick!


Try mozzie nets over all ya vents?

Good luck!

That's why I take antihistamine tablets instead, they can bite but I won't scratch (they also double up for those days where the pollen count is high) and the pills can't bugger up the fish bait/lures. ;-)

Nearly all Aussie houses are insect proof (unless you like bugs, moths, mozzies and flies by the millions inside), even my shed is screened against them (there's even a screen that drops down for when the roller door is up), but being a shed it has it's gaps (no direct 1's with the internal lining though, but there is a car parked down there so the gaps are required) so a mozzie coil can come in handy at times downstairs (upstairs is properly sealed and also has it's own screen door).

I might have to open up a window and door downstairs soon as the solar heating down there has the temp up to 26C already, it's 18C (feels like 16C) outside ATM, and I don't want to be sweating while I enjoy my Sunday LLB under lockdown.

Cheers.

Nice, I've been trying to make my place bug proof for a while, off and on.

Added humidity, this area would need a thunderstorm for that, plus something called RAIN...
