Some of our #RuralBroadband customers use the company e-mail for complaints not directly connected to our services. Like "There are very few #mushrooms in the forest this year". What can I say? "Try turning the forest off, wait 60 seconds, then turn it on again".
Mushrooms are supposed to be everywhere at this time of the year. A customer called today to report connection loss. They said the connection went down four hours earlier, and they went on a mushroom hunt, thinking this was a minor glitch and everything would be fine by the time they got back. Turned out the BTS had to be restarted, and it took some 15 minutes. But I learned that in their area, some 30 km away, there were also very few mushrooms, and most of them were infested with worms.
@brie No idea.
Why else do you think I'm on spore.social?
"Try turning the forest off, wait 60 seconds, then turn it on again"."
LOL I love this.🤣 🤣
@Snowshadow I don't have many problems with my rural broadband. Even when there's a technical problem they know what's going on and they know everything is being done to get them back online.
That is wonderful.
I found your comment about the forest very funny. Thank you for the chuckle. After reading about politics, the comic relief was welcome.
@Snowshadow Damned, I made a typo and mu instance doesn't really allow me to edit toots. The last word of the first sentence was "customers". And yes, I love simple solutions, like turn it off and on again, to complex problems. Unfortunately such solutions don't work.
Typos? No worries. I understood your meaning.😀
(every day, almost every post, I am thankful for the edit feature. lol.)
Our mastodon server already did. Hence the name. 😀
@EricLawton All spores are in a net right? But the basic question is, who was first? The spore or the net?
That's a harder question than the chicken/egg equivalent.
At least for me, because I don't know the evolutionary history of fungi.
