I barely have 10 ... Lucky you! Still, in Buenos Aires, that would cost a fortune, close to 300 bucks a month.

We were paying $70 a month for 16mbps cable internet. The local company was bought by Zito and they upgraded the area to fiber. Now, we have 100mbps internet for $49 a month. It's nice to be in the mainstream cable category. 20 years ago when we build this house the only option was 6mb AT&T DSL. It wasn't fast enough to watch TV or even YouTube without constant buffering.

fastech has my SXK Doggystyle waiting for pickup. Label created and waiting for shipper pickup. Another 10 days and it might arrive in my mailbox!

Wishful thinking, probably! I've had FT shipments hit California and moved by ground transport across to Georgia by a multi-stop truck. I should probably pay for faster transit, but that would have doubled the total price of my single item order.

20 years ago, we were finally able to get cable and dial up here lol. I think we got high speed about six years ago, and in the last four years, they’ve stopped going out every few days for no apparent reason.

sort of shiny...bought a few (60) ball bearing fishing swivels for fused clapton wire winding (£3.40 in total...not breaking the bank). wondered why the delivery date was rather far in the future on amazon. they're coming from georgia...the country not the state. that would explain it.

I don't understand why people keep at Yoga.

Good morning shiny folks. Yoga is hard but I just like it. I think many people find their "tolerable type of exercise" that suits their... whateverness, and keep at it.

It wasn't so bad yesterday actually for the first time my body was like, "I give up I'mma just gonna do what you want."

Tai chi is okay some stuff is just ungodly hard if you ask me. But I've tried most things (including Judo that was like my shortest class ever although it was useful in learning "how to fall" well, I don't want every part of my exercise regimen to consist of "how to fall." LOL.

I got my Ohm's vape liquid from my win yesterday, it was nice.

Did I miss the internet speed discussion? Here's me -

I get plenty of fiber every day. Also, my wayward juice order is finally back from seeing the coasts and out for delivery today. Gonna show up with one of those old timey suitcases covered in stickers from all the places it's been.

Ive done a little yoga and enjoyed it, but I have balance issues that come and go. I can’t always yoga safely. I like bike riding too, but that’s also been sidelined this year. I just try to go with the flow, and do what I can when I can. The push ups are going well, and my shoulders are less locked up when I get up in the morning. Plus, I can’t believe I lost five pounds already!

I’ll have to pass on the judo. Falling down I can do, but the getting back up gets harder every day!

I encountered this box today, and well, I have to wonder....

Is the Terminator stashed in our shed somewhere? I think it's actually from Deluth Trading Company so it's good to know that some of the clothing my MIL most kindly sent us after the fire is strong enough to repel an attack by angry beavers. It makes me feel "safe." LOL.

We were in the same boat. We moved from our lake home 20 years ago and and built in a really nice subdivision just over the county line, so Cox Cable hadn't arrived. For several years it was AT&T wannabe 6mbps, then a local cable company offered better internet. Now that they have been bought out we have moved into much faster internet speeds (100mbps). I wouldn't have believed that it would happen, but we've finally been brought into the mainstream for the 2000's.

This is my latest mod addition. Innokin Proton 235W currently vaping at 8W to 10W! I was taken in by the color graphic shinyitis screen!

It's stupid fast compared to where I was a couple of years ago. The best thing about getting fiber service from a local company was finally being able to tell Comcast to take their crappy service and shove it. I was paying for 100Mbps but only getting 3-5Mbps during peak hours since they oversold my node.

This went on for over three months while they sent their sub-contracted ineffectual techs out several times and finally escalated the issue to a zone manager but never solved the problem. The service was just laughable. Now I'm getting 1Gbps up and down for $70/mo and I'm supporting a local business. It was pretty liberating.

My freedom smokes has nic, vg and pg for 20% off. I haven’t ordered that from them, but $40 for a litre of nic is pretty good.

Friday is New $$$ Day ( aka payday). Trying to decide what I don’t really need, so I can have shiny incoming. I must be in a rut... nothing I’ve seen recently has made me excited enough to order. What’s on everyone’s must have next list?

I'm in the same slump. I feel like I need a new mod but I don't know what to get. I just remembered at some point I was looking at the Double Barrel 2.1 but never pulled the trigger (lul). Maybe one of those or a new mech? I dunno.

Same here, there just isn't much out there that I'm curious enough about to buy. I do miss searching for my sweet spot. Now it's more "it's a nice mod but...".

Spoiled by the Therion. I feel your pain, sister.

My DBs are some of my favorites. Size for a dual battery is wonderfully small, but what sells it is the smooth hit and insane battery life. I can go 3 days easy without getting too low on battery life. I’m using the Detonator as my daily carry right now. Single 21700, on/off switch and charging port as upgrades from the DB. I like the fire switch, which was the one thing I thought might be off putting.

I was happy with MFS nic when I used it. It was smooth and the throat hit was light.

 

[Tralfaz]

I should just get another Therion DNA166 and be done with it... for now.

E - On second thought, that and a DB 2.1.

Keep forgetting to look up what size atty it can accomodate without overhang. That's the main reason I haven't bought a DB.
