Say Anything.
'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.
Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort
This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.
So, say anything.

Think we ended up with bout 3 inches maybe LoL Never heard plows go thru before I crashed around 4 am, but the roads are already clear and the driveway is melting, yet still we get the kids with shovels wanting to get paid. Please, give it another day and it does this groovy thing called melting all for free LoL

We have about 8 inches on the ground, melting quickly. Real problem is the power being out. We are camping out at the library, too cold in the house.

Once it hits about 15 degrees, that shit is just cold. It got that cold in Anchorage and it just burns like a motherf9cker.

Canada went to a usage based billing system for internet. Basically everywhere in the country is now $35/month for 25 gigs with an additional $2/gig over that
There is no longer any such thing as unlimited bandwidth in Canada (or effectively unlimited like 250 gig fair use clauses). After hearing about this all I can find myself thinking about is, how long until it happens here? Also, 25 gigs is tiny and probably the type of thing we would see here if not lower.
And this is what I base my opinion that if the internet were shut down no one would do anything about it on. Its being taken down a piece at a time right now. If the FCC allowed this to happen here, it would put out of business things like steam, direct2drive, netflix, hulu, and several others.
I really hope that does not happen here.

I would argue that 25GB is not "tiny"

If you aren't streaming movies or downloading multiple games, you'll never use 25 gb. And frankly, I doubt the accuracy of this information. I'll ask some Canadians about it tonight. We Americans are often seriously misinformed about our Canadian neighbors, especially when it benefits a certain political party to make us so. *eyeroll*

I'd argue it depends on what you are doing regarding it being tiny or not.
For a lot, yes, it would be tiny. For others, maybe not so much.
So it would honestly depend on who you ask.

It just means you can't go crazy with netflix or downloading porn. Nothing else is going to touch 25GB other than a few exotic things. I'm not for this, but you can't call it tiny because it would be tiny to a few internet addicted people. I browse the web, watch youtube videos occasionally, download games, check my email etc on my phone and I have a tracker - at my current rate I will use 1.7 GB this month. Over 0.7 GB of that is from one large game.

I asked my Canadian guildmates and they said "it's not exactly that, but kind of", and it hasn't started yet (it starts March 1st). One of them has "the highest bandwidth plan" which is 110gb/mo for $100. Sucks to be Canadian, eh?

I would rather pay for speed than be limited by how much I can buy.

I dont really do much of anything online besides read webpages so it wouldnt bother me much.
8 classes until I graduate. thats one whole year left. I sat down to pick my schedule for next year and was floored. I thought I had 2 years left. This was a lot easier than I had expected. Currently I'm too lazy to get my Masters so that means job time. This is it, what you spend your whole school life/career waiting for. I'm in the home stretch with the big finish looming near. Somewhere isnide of me is sad because all it knows is shitty jobs and school. Shits crazy, me finishing school. Its gonna be weird

My cockatiel escaped! He has a habit of wanting to ride my shoulder when I take out the recycling. I was trying to get him to go off, but he was adamant. Like an idiot, I said "Okay, let's go."
We went out and instead of clinging tightly to me as he has done in the past, he decided to fly up into the sky far far away. I know it is extremely stupid to let him out with me and not have his feathers clipped. I know I'm stupid and don't deserve him, but I miss him.

:( That's terribly sad. Is there any hope of recovery? Have you contacted local rescue groups?
