Genuinely curious how you make out on this, I've tried it a few times but really couldn't stick to it for anything more than a few days. The cravings get so fucking strong.

Looked awesome man, that first tiny hatchback that passed you looked sketchy as fuck. Was it a civic?

Yes, thanks for the Nürburgring video Don Carlos

I'll probably never get to drive the circuit so it is appreciated.

I will throw a variant in here. I attended a recent Mount Cotton Hill Climb event on March 24. Here's a couple of videos. Two words sum up the experience, fast and noisy..A great experience and no I didn't drive, just a spectator

and another from 2018 and note the technology 'in car'

Re: What is new in your little world?

Today my last day on a copper pair (telephone cable) and ADSL2 because tomorrow it changed to fibre to the building. The equipment was installed in the basement months ago and the local telephone exchange 'switched' on the new technology, I think May the 1st. It has been a long time coming..

You probably haven't heard of the gargantuan national project called NBN (National Broadband Network).

Wiki if interested

The NBN tech just left and I am getting an initial 35Mb/s down and 20Mb/s upload on first 'speed tests' and a ping of 7ms (local)

Copper lines :rolleyes:

I haven't pasted these in years

Now on fibre to the building (basement) and copper pair up 5 floors.

Are those screenshots supposed to mean that copper lines suck? Cuz those speeds are pathetic...

Y'all need glass fibre connections. This is just the mid-tier ISP subscription I have, for 30 euro a month (34 USD / 48 AUD). Top tier is 500mbit up and down.

Lines are for pussies... How about airwaves like this...

Airwaves :olo:

New house is FTTP so 1gb/1gb is an option but it’s expensive. Probably going to get a 150/30 to start with so I can get rid of BT.

Lol poors...

Guess I'm doing ok. Works for me. :shrug:

Fios 940/880 isn't offered in my building unfortunately, upload isn't very fast with Xfinity.

The wife just got herself a new Pit Boss pellet grill. I have to say, it's pretty awesome.

We have a built in smoker in the outdoor kitchen... Why so mad?...

I talked my wife out of being a vegan, and she's doing a keto diet with me so we are using the smoker again...

lol, Pit Boss, the poor man’s Traeger...

It came with the house. To me it looks custom made. They used weights from an Olympic set to hold up lids which are very heavy. The grill came with the house too and that's a 5k lynx... Jellus?...
