There appears to be a glitch in the system...


Ok Rewind this week, No I'm not done with my rental but Blockbuster just sent me a message from the 90s and they want The Time Machine back. Not the new one, The 1960 one with Rod Taylor in it.

They can fuck off, I'm Keeping it.

Its on VHS and I don't even have a Video player to play it on. Tried shoving it in the toaster but the damn thing just wouldn't play.

Where am I goin with this? Good question let me grab a beer (Or Three) and something to smoke and I will enlighten you on this, My week of Mondays.

A few cold ones always helps fix the problem.


Currently I have spent just over 7 days with no WIFI No Spotify, No DEFI and no way to even stream tunes on the Hi-Fi.

That's Right, 7 whole days operating at less than the speed of a 56k modem connected to a calculator.

No WhatsApp and no Hive, No checking the crypto market frantically to guess the direction of the huge number of meme Tokens I have no real real reason to keep track of.

Anyone know any good Rugpulls to invest in?

Got My financial advisor ready.


Just me, The Missus and whatever we can muster together in the way of entertainment. Cant really write a post about that now can I?

Sadly it also meant waiting at times for details to load on the screen, orders for the various online businesses I have goin. I Still had parcels to pack and boxes to send. It just took 100 times longer than normal.

Who would have thought The 5 lines of a postage address contained so much data...

Left lots of time to play with the cat...


See where we live (Middle of Bumfuck Nowhere) I opted for a 4G router with a dedicated SIM and we both have unlimited data contracts on our phone.

If ones down usually one of us has the ability to hotspot the devices around the house.

Up until this strange Alien Invasion into the brain washing and mind control network, we have been perfectly happy with the signal and internet.

Now I'm second guessing, the option.

Occasionally I could get ecency to load on my phone, and cast upvotes without reading the post. It felt Dirty. I could have upvoted pro or anti anything.

Spiked Porcupine Dildos, Furry porn, or even Worse quitting drinking.

At least we still had modern lighting.


Now I'm 50% back online. Everything works at a 3G level. Thankfully I can mostly get web pages to load and reply to emails and messages. I'm just a wee bit behind.

I appear to have been tagged up to make an OXYMEL, so I'll definitely get on that right away. I'll have to hit the market today to get some odds and ends together.

Otherwise I can spend a few hours later reading what I missed and handling the old emails, death threats, etc. You know the normal shit.

So Yeah I been gone a bit and now its time to play catch up.

That basically sums up this last week that seemed to be full of irritation, aggravation and a whole lotta other words that end in ion.

I guess solar flares, faulty broadcasters, or the old Wifi gestapo finally decided I was due for some censorship.

My Service provider cant give me an explanation anyway.

But regardless I'm Back online.

Did you Miss Me?

Thanks it's appreciated 👍 I'm just happy to be back!

Damn I am jelly @dragonslayer109 commenting on your thang!! Good to see ya here!

Haha it was just a case of somebody not logging out 🤫

Uh-Oh...!!! So far... it looks like as many people missed you as they do me on this platform :>) But, then it's only been 21 minutes or so since the post appeared. Maybe I'll be eating crow from posting this sarcastic comment a bit later? Maybe it's just another glitch in the matrix, or something like that?

This comment was 18 days ago and I'm just now reading it and dying laughing 😂😂😂😂

Nah I think we're even, my dog misses me and the cat misses being fed if I'm out too long but otherwise I think it's about the same 😁

Thanks for noticing!

The last of my three cats died a couple of months ago, but there are three stray cats in this very moment, curled up in my back room :>) I leave the pet door open for them...

Damn man that sucks, glad to hear the strays got somewhere to get outta the cold!

Heyyyyyyy me toooooo

I'm just 18 days late in missing you!!!!

But whats 18 days in the context of eternity???? Huh?

It's a drop in the ocean. Just know I missed you too but I just didnt KNOW I missed you until now!

Matrix that one!!!!

The Internet being down is the worst. It's crazy how much we rely on it nowadays. Pretty much everything is connected. It's It's good thing you don't have a "smart home." You may not have been able to turn on any lights or even get into your front door lol

 2 years ago  

yeah no internet has become a strange experience. I guess we all get so used to being connected to the data feed we get a bit irritable when its taken away. Thankfully the house is only as smart as I am so no wifi operated locks or fridges etc.

I can relate

Damn that sucks man, thankfully that didn’t hit in your 30 day posting streak hahaha. That would have sucked getting hit with that at like day 25!

A week without connection is crazy, one thing I know would be challenging but might be a good refresher! You only missed crazy insane all time highs of hive. No big deal lol

 2 years ago  

Aye the all time highs seem to keep comin, So thankfully I didn't miss the latest. It would have broken my heart to have it go down on post 25 haha, Its good to see everyone on here still thriving.

Welcome back to the world wide web. Nothing interesting at all happened over the past 7 days. That beer looks delish!

!PIZZA

That beer is awesome, I picked up a case the other day at one of the beer shops here. You wouldn't believe the number of specialist beer shops and microbreweries within 30 minutes of the house.

Twelve. Am I right?

Fuck! I'll take everything with @rubido stamped on it, hell...I said it, I'll eat any shitposts you send my way.

Though this isn't one, this is a slowly matured cheese, some Roquefort, or Cantal!

My Service provider cant give me an explanation anyway.

Let me tell ya, dark winter is coming, they tempering with bandwitdth an Ddos attacks (and shit)

So happy to have you back! I am getting apple cider vinegar and raw honey today!

That's right, consume my content! Consume all my shitposts!

This winters gonna be a rough one, never been this cold this fast in the whole Time I've lived here man.

Bandwidth adjustment seems to be the theme, I had 4G today for the first time in 2 weeks, for all of 30 minutes.

Nah shitpost ain't in your vocabulary!

Furry porn is the worse. Just kidding. I have no idea what that is. All I can see in my head is an episode of Star Trek with the furry creatures having babies like rabbits all over the place. Speaking of sex, I'm sure Harry Potter and Larry The Cable Guy could make a baby and that baby could then turn your toaster into a VCR and then into a Hot Tub Time Machine. Oh wait, did you say there was a time-traveling movie from the 1960s and Marty was not in it?
