Somewhat drunk at my parents place...
"Fixed" my parents Internet again... or rather I bought them a new DSL router as the brand new Asus DSL router they bought to "fix" their Internet had serious issues.
What was wrong with the net in the first place? Well nothing, the net was down in the whole county for two whole days but my parents didd't know that so they thought the old DSL modem was broken, trashed it and bought the Asus DSL router with ... issues...
Luckily I found the year 2017 model DSL router I bought them in a thrift store new in box so it wasn't wery expensive (6 euro) and it's a test winning unit with a name I can't remember... Something... someting that probably makes sense in Chinese.
Tomorrow on my way home (about 110 miles / 170km) I will make a stopover in another town to pick up an Ebay find (Tradera is a part of Ebay again... I think). Saving on shipping costs is nice. Not having some random Joe package the items is even better. Avoiding having retards manhandling the package for days on end... priceless... (I used to be a mailman once...)
I normally don't share much of this kind of everyday life stuff as I don't really see any value in it for anyone else but I'm sort of drunk.
I guess if I was another kind of person I would see it as hot blog material and make sure you would read about it both on Twitter and Facebook followed by a ton of pictures on Instagram and videos on Youtube...
