    Sorel Caribous are pretty roomy. OTOH I have low volume feet. They're certainly sturdy enough, but heavy. Of course mine are 30 years old. Who knows what the quality is now.

    Yes, there are apps or services that will monitor your internet connection. As for your phone, if you are on Wifi and your home internet stops working, then your cellular connection should kick back on and be used obviously. So you would only notice the outage of the home Internet for a brief period that could be only second or more depending on the phone before the cellular would start to be used. My cell phone will advise me that their is no internet on the Wifi connection.

    A Google search will provide services (some you sign up on their web site and they monitor, others you download and install an app that checks the Internet connection.

    So Facebook Marketplace has taken a bunch of the listings that used to be on Ebay, Craigslist and other types of selling web sites.

    Anyone have experience with buying something (not local so no meet up can be done) and paying via Facebook (which claims there also is protection for both parties) instead of Paypal or other methods that can offer some well known buyers protection from item not as described or never shipped and received?

    Any comments on trusting the Zuckerberg funds or stick with Paypal goods and services as a buyer?

    Open terminal window
    Type “ping 75.75.75.75”

    At least that’s what I do

    Can add to the end -n 100 or some number to have it run more than 4 tries or -t for a continuous length also. (stop -t with Ctrl C)

    And shorter command is the IP address of 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 works also.

    My Cellphone

    I have a Samsung S22 with an E-sim. When I go to Eurp I get a local SIM for data and whatever. Issue being I need to check my US SIM when I am over there.

    Usually I switch to airplane mode, then enable WIFI so I don't get dinged for $10, change the SIM under settings check my shit and change the SIM back to the Eurp SIM and disable airplane mode.

    Lately I can't switch SIMs in airplane mode anymore. Does anyone know how to do this? The kid at the store gave me a look like he couldn't point to Eurp on a map let alone solve my issue.

    Looking for a collapsible coffee filter cone for camping.

    BUT, all of the ones I see are for single cup or small pots; the largest I have see fits a #4 filter, which works sorta but isn't ideal. We want to be able to make a large pot (into a thermos), so using something like a #6 filter. Any ideas?

    Roku anyone?

    Yeah... yeah... don't need to hear about the state of my TV or connectivity. I live where I live and things are limited so I'm thinking of getting a Roku unless you can recommend something better. Got a dumb TV (It's good and I'm not replacing it if it ain't broke).

    I don't watch much TV but do like shows that seem to be going more and more to streaming.

    Roku works for me. I signed up so I could watch The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu, currently enjoying Reservation Dogs and Shogun. Also use for Prime. FWIW I gotta dumb tv that I don’t watch too much.

    If you don’t need 4k and don’t mind a slightly clunkier interface than some of the others, the Roku is cheap, can power off your TV, and perfectly acceptable

    Have it one 3 TVs. Cheap, easy, covers all the functions I need. Portable too if you go to an Airbnb or something down the road.

    When you see friends pix on Facebook, is it appropriate to ask ‘New tits?’

    Good choice. But I don’t remember if the lady in the couples photo is bigger but definitely firmer looking.

    More sheltered than a wildland firefighting ski troller from the Land of Enchantment? Yes sir you may be correct. Thanks for your service.
    That said I've known a couple of friendly women that liked to drink beer, and I've only seen it once (15 years ago). Her husband seemed to think it was a pretty neat party trick. What's the average on women in the circles you travel quaffing a beer in one second? 50%?
