[QUOTE=Catscratch;43269262]I'm in New York now. yaaay :p[/QUOTE] Welcome to my state Current temperature is 47 degrees F An ice storm is possible in the Adirondacks today. And now your local on the 8ths

We still have a landline at home. My mum is completely convinced we need to keep it in case of emergency's, since the phone lines don't turn off if the power goes out. We even have a phone that is plugged in and is purely powered by the phone line. I see no point, as it adds another bill to pay and we have backup batteries to charge our phones and laptops anyway.

An inactive phone attached to it does nothing as long as you don't use it. Plus fuck I'd take a landline phone over a mobile any day when in the house, for one they don't drop off signal when you happen to walk past a certain part of the house plus I've got a fucking landline going from our house [I]to my room[/I]. :v:

So we are paying double the line rental. With our mobile signal being full 4G signal inside on our mobile carriers, we don't get dropouts.

We use the same line for both net and phone.

[QUOTE=Reagy;43273068]Filters existed back then silly. :v:[/QUOTE] I was under the impression that during a phone call, the line was only able to be used for either the phone or the dialup connection at the same time? Nothing you could do could prevent that. Oh well, it's not my money that I spent on the line!

While now some of them are no larger than your thumb and cost less than £1.

Plex is so awesome. Time to get an assload of movies I've missed out on to take advantage of it. Basically just a nice media server with a really slick front end and good meta-data system. Best part about it though is that you can log into your server from any PC with a web browser or by using your phone/tablet app and then seamlessly watch your media server content from anywhere in the world no matter the file format the base file is in. I've got it set up so my server client is installed on my desktop and I just power on my PC remotely if I want to stream something while I'm out of the house, and then shut my PC off remotely when I'm done. The mobile app works really well with this, and can also act as a remote for the front end if I have my laptop or whatever hooked up to the TV.

Bad decision o'clock, finishing a three day bender in such a way that your comedown comes on Christmas Eve, when you're cooking Christmas Dinner this year [QUOTE=Robot Jesus;43263977]I remember trying the leaked beta (alpha?) before it was released. I thought it was alright at best, so I just ignored the series afterward. I have the Origin bundle one now, but no motivation to download. I think the biggest turnoff was the pure linearity of it, with the whole "you can go B route instead of A", rather than a (seemingly) open map, where you can just not pay attention to the story and punch Korean soldiers in the face, then throw them to the sharks.[/QUOTE] I sometimes find open world games a bit overwhelming - there's so much to do that you can end up forgetting about the narrative Half Life 2 is super linear but still fun to play [QUOTE=Rexxasaurus;43267693]I've never drunk eggnog in my life[/QUOTE] There's only one festive alcohol drink and that's mulled wine.

Breaking an inch thick of ice is so much work...

I know some good ice breakers.

[QUOTE=Rubs10;43274673]That reminds me of a [url=http://imgur.com/a/sSXUs#0]nice recipe for Gløgg[/url] I wanted to try.[/QUOTE] That actually sounds really nice. But ain't NOBODY got time for that, we just buy our usual yearly glögg and enjoy Die Hard on Christmas eve.

Sounds like mulled wine. Mulled wine is the shit.
