Bought a new HD TV, which I have yet to even use. Didn't have a TV for years, now I can't get used to the fact that I have to watch what TV-stations decide to air. So annoying.

MY DEAR SIR I BELIEVE WHAT YOU COULD DO IS POSSIBLY FIND SOME ELECTRONIC DEVICE CAPABLE OF PLAYING VIDEOS, SUCH AS A PERSONAL COMPUTER OR DVD PLAYER, AND THEN USE YOUR NEWLY PURCHASED TELEVISION AS THE DISPLAY FOR THESE DEVICES. BY DOING SO YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO WATCH WHAT YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT, AND NO LONGER BE BOUND BY THE SCHEDULES OF TV PROVIDERS. OF COURSE BY DOING SO, YOU MAY THEN BE UNABLE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SAID SCHEDULES, BUT SUCH IS LIFE.

Reading about early 1900's radio-controlled dreadnoughts, and Leander class frigates.

Why i don't read more into my nations sea-going warfare i'll never know. My head is full or PBX RDX and ANFO, slapper detonators, HeSH-based EFP's, LDD-fired frag bombs encased in roadside animal corpses and many many more serch/eod-based exploits.

I am now a Canadian citizen! I also got a whoopass -32 C Day with Arctic winds as the country's "Welcome to Canada, sucker" present. Tomorrow we expect -36 C.

Had to walk across campus in windy 4 F weather. Not fun at all. My fingers had completely numbed by the time I reached the IT building. When will this go away!?

Dear sir/madam,

Try a 20 minute walk to campus in -40°C and 30 cm of fresh snow sometime.  Then you can complain.

Sincerely,

The parts of the world that actually get "winter."

Or forty minutes in -50, NO windchill
As for the hands, I get that numbness in +5C. I've terrible circulation to my hands so they're perpetually cold and on the brink of becoming ice
Been meaning to test a theory though. Cold hands to sensual areas of a female body, more interesting of a feeling?

-40°C ? You must mean -40°F

:trollface:

[Klaustrophobia]

it's funny all the "you don't know what cold IS!!" that happens around winter.


less funny when it's a coworker that complains about the room temp being >70 and turns the ****ing AC on in the winter.  while the dumbass is wearing a hoodie.

I'm getting angry just thinking about it. I cannot stand people like that.

-40K? :V

So ****ing cold all the molecules stop and say "**** this".  And then they turn around and go home.

But see, they can't go home because they're immobilized. It's also impressive that's it's below absolute zero

They just throw up their hands and get hot again.

That's gotta be a mis-dumbing down of it. My dad was telling me years ago about negative temperatures induced via magnetism somehow, and he said nothing about this "hotter than any positive temperature" crap.

Also, planck temperature is an interesting concept.

[watsisname]

Bose-Einstein Condensates are cool.  Literally and figuratively.

And I had no idea about this negative temperature bullcorn, apparently its a statement about entropy according to the wiki article.  Still sounds like shenanigans to me.

Would be interesting if antimatter was in the negative Kelvins as compared to matter.

WHIML: finished with a .pak file extractor that took me 8 months to research, test, and complete, and now getting setup to get wxFRED going along.

Also got registered to take the FE for EEEN this April, and I'm working "part time" at a convince store to get some cash flowing my way (better than sitting at home browsing the job boards and twiddling thumbs all day).

My cat Spooky isn't eating much... I hope he's alright

[Klaustrophobia]

snowing.  tempted to go snowskimming, but no time.  it's not gonna be terribly fun driving in this to go downtown to see halestorm tonight though.

[watsisname]

I want more snow.   1 inch is lame. 

[deathfun]

As of late I've been breaking out in song and dance after I wake up in the morning
I think this whole not having slept well in a long time is getting to me on a sanity level

Derbyshire UK, we getting enough that a couple of minutes after clearing a patch it there is a fairly solid coating
