One good thing that is coming out of this move is that #faveNephew is putting his cousin #lazyNephew in touch with local housing assistance resources. Hopefully, LN and his GF will be able to pay their bills as they stay nearer to their $EMPLOYER. (He definitely needs to look outside the company. Even if he thinks of them as "home", by leaving for a few years and then returning, he can get raises and promotions that he'd never qualify for if he stayed inside the organization.

#Internet speeds ranked from fastest to slowest, by nation.
I don't know where this link came from. I had it in a tab.
I was speaking with #lazyNephew about #INET speeds recently. He was complaining that home was only getting 90Mbps up and 90Mbps down (it had been 50Mbps/50Mbps when I was there) and I reminded him that it used to be 6Mbps down, 1 to 2 Mbps up.

Had a phone call with #lazyNephew, who swears that he's tired of where he is in life and is willing to work to get ahead. He's enrolled in some online training, and mentioned that he needs a computer.
Being that he's only working part-time, I know it will take a while to save up the funds, so I agreed to send him some money to enable him to buy something used on Ebay or a similar site.

Thirty year old #lazyNephew texted me to say his GPU no longer works. At a time when chip shortages, scalpers, and cryptocurrency miners have driven the prices sky-high. I think he's just going to have to wait a while.

I decided to get I heart NY mugs for everyone. All three boys and their wives, my mom, the sister and #lazyNephew who live in the same house as I do, and #GS1 and #GS2. I walked into this gift shop and bought a whole mess of mugs. And now I think I still need a couple more.
I haven’t been doing it since Puerto Rico, but it is traditional that the grandkids all get t-shirts with the local university’s name and logo. I have not started looking for those yet.
It is also time to start thinking about replacing my backpack. I’ve only had it for a couple of months (I bought it in New Jersey #NJ)
-
Asked #lazyNephew to check the Ethernet cables to find out whether my room is disconnected. I have three Raspberry Pi devices running #BOINC, and none of them have reported in since the nine-day Internet outage that began 2021-10-24.
-
Fixed yesterday, but #lazyNephew is already texting to tell me it is out again.
-
I asked #lazyNephew to clean the tub ? after he showers ?. There’s no reason why everyone else should clean ? up after a man who is nearly thirty years old.
My sister will be angry that I didn’t come to her, but I am tired of having to mention his messes every week.
-
#lazyNephew took a shower and left the tub full of hair. It almost looks like a rug.
-
I'm going to pick up some #pizza. If you're at the house when I get back, you can have a slice or two before #lazyNephew finishes it.
-
My nephew #Papaya: The humidity is 70% here today.
Me: Is that because your #Depends are wet?
Papaya: I'm not sure.
This is #lazyNephew's younger brother, who is working two jobs. I couldn't joke like this with the older one. He'd immediately get angry.
-
#lazyNephew fell in the shower recently. He's been off work for a few days because he cannot perform his job duties. Turns out his 20 hours / week schedule is not enough to keep medical coverage, so he is uninsured.
-
Sent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CwY1WJgRkw to all three boys, and to two nephews. They're all working as hard as they can, trying to make ends meet.
I didn't send it to #lazyNephew down the hall.
-
Took #lazyNephew to the ramen place. It is about 90 miles away from home, but it may become his new favorite place. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/281056

My sister took one of her cats (almost 14 years old) to the vet today. #lazyNephew said the cat has been unable to walk for a couple of days.
I hope they’re prepared for the most likely result.
-
I ordered almost everything while I was working in Puerto Rico, but didn't get a job where I could come home every night, so the replacement never completed.
#Daddy_A, #lazyNephew, and a couple of others also got partial or complete replacements.
-
#lazyNephew wants his own #NAS with a 16TB drive. I sent a link to a $100 single-bay Synology model, but said that his desired drive won't be affordable before he's 35. I think he will decide this entry-level device isn't good enough.
Oh, well. When he's 50 and still doesn't have one, he'll realize that you do what you can with what you have.
-
#lazyNephew’s voice has been sounding deeper lately, so I asked him if he’s having a 2nd puberty at nearly 30 years old.
He said, no, I’m sick. That always happens when I’m sick.
Oh, okay. You don’t get to relive puberty every 14 years?
At that point, he didn’t respond.

Security keys (yubikeys) are starting to spread in my family. I bought one for my mom, one for each of my kids ( #sonOne, #sonTwo, #Daddy_A ), one for nephew #Papaya, one for #faveNephew. #lazyNephew is buying his own. Nephews #Honshu and #PizzaMan are waiting to see what their brother does with his.
This is a multi-year project, but interest has picked up considerably in the past month or so.
-
Hilarious! #lazyNephew, who wasn't interested in security keys, suddenly asked whether I had a spare Yubikey, and not the $20 model I got for his brother #Papaya and cousin #faveNephew. He asked about a $45 model.
So now he's going to buy it himself. Reason: the admin of the game server he plays on is requiring them soon to prevent account takeovers.
