Sorry I'm a bit late

  • Them: "The WiFi is down."Me: '... No, I still see the TV & the laptop & Pi, on the network.'Them: "I can't connect to Flipboard."Me: 'Ohhh, the internet is down. It's probably at the cable modem. Wait a moment for it to failover to wireless, then try again.'Them: "Yep, now the WiFi is back."

  • Yeah, where my Mom lives, the food options are:

    • Walmart
    • An erratically pricey local grocery, that rents its building (which has a leaky roof, requiring them to move product when it rains)
    • Dollar General
    • A farmer's market that's open once a week for a few hours before the afternoon heat, a few months a year, if no events have pre-empted it, having an inventory of which about 30% is bulk-bought supermarket produce with the labels (sometimes) removed
    • A 90 minute drive; no trains, no buses (literally, no buses) to the next largest town

    And she lives in a town people drive to, to get food, clothes, medicine, etc.

    She gets as much as she can from the local grocer, for whatever that's worth; the inventory is frequently poor, & about on-par with Dollar General so far as brand-representation, goes. When tourists ask if the store has something, they get pointed to Walmart.

  • I think I agree... but I'm sorry, I'm not used to using those items as a commodity value scale...

    Can you express that as 18650 cells, please?
