EndreWhiteMane: THAT is very wrong. ;)

adaliabooks: Probably, but we're happy :)

CarrionCrow: It's instant info with instant access, which leads to instant gratification.
If a person wants to know about anything from storm clouds to platypuses to who the actor was in that one shitty movie they saw 20 years ago (seriously, cannot tell you how many times I've dug up stuff like that for someone who was trying to remember some tidbit from decades past), they can have more data than they ever could have imagined in about half a second.

adaliabooks: Yeah, that's exactly it. Or you read one thing, which links to another thing, which links to another thing and before you know it you've spend an hour looking at rubbish..
But I often look up who actors are and what they've been in, because it annoys the hell out of me when I recognise someone and can't remember why.
Here. If you're going to be reading stuff, might as well read fun stuff. ;)

Like I said, I do the exact same thing, whether for myself or someone else. That's part of the beauty of the internet, you don't have to sit there wracking your brain trying to dig out some barely remembered info from who knows when.

Without it, you end up with a lot of, "Well, there's this one movie from a long time ago, and it had that one guy who was really popular....no, I can't remember what it's called, that's why I'm asking!"

I have 130 inches so far. Want some? :P

CarrionCrow: Good morning. =)
indeed. It's an obnoxious place, where the only light is the blinking of a malfunctioning modem and the only sound is me calling the modem a rotten son of a bitch for not working. -laughs-

gunsynd: Funny thing the Internet,went for years without getting it.But the games I was buying had too many patches mixing,so I said (Fuck this) I need to go Online.Used to get all my Internet stuff at work,but for some unknown reason they got pissed off.
Since getting the Net has it opened my eyes...Should of got it years ago:-)
With as many patches as games need, I can just imagine how much of a frigging pain in the ass that was trying to keep things up to date without a net connection. Even with all the stupid garbage, the net's still incredibly useful.

YES SIR,send to Sydney,Australia thanks...

EndreWhiteMane: Hey, handy fact: -40 degrees is the same in Fahrenheit and Celsius. Also happens to be the wind-chills we're looking forward to for the next couple of days.
Shit. :/
That SUCKS....
Stay warm, stay bundled up, stay inside. Fortunately, you've got more sense than me, so I don't have to worry about you coming back at some point mentioning that you can't feel your fingers or toes.

I still go out on the porch to smoke but it just makes me appreciate the up-side of 'cabin fever' more. :-)

Been there, done that. A bad habit turned into an endurance contest with the elements. -laughs-
When does it usually start warming back up in your part of the world?

Two pack a day in Missouri. I moved up here and that first blizzard hit and it was end of that. XD

This is an unusual, hopefully short, spell. Highs are normally in the 20s this time of year. February things get a bit more reasonable and March we start to thaw out quite a bit.

Looks like there's a "stay inside or else you might frigging DIE" warning for your neck of the woods from midnight tonight your time to Thursday at 9 am your time.

And now, for the ridiculous comment that'll make you want to throw something at me....
The arctic death wind headed your way sure does make me appreciate my winter bullshit that much more! -laughs-

Additional - just going to come right out and say it. Winter is just garbage, all the way through.

I enjoy wind, I enjoy rain, but as soon as it turns to snow and ice and death gales? To hell with all of it.
I remember growing up in California, where it never snowed, and I used to think to myself, "Oh man, I wonder what having a lot of snow is like?"
Turns out, it fucking sucks. All the tranquility, the graceful drifting of snowflakes? That's all bullshit.
It's tranquil because it's godsdamned cold and everyone has to go inside.
I used to go for walks in super cold weather, and I loved that tranquility. Nothing around, no people, no animals, just quiet and stillness.
But I know damn good and well why that was the case - I was the only creature on two legs or four, with wings or without, stupid enough to actually be out in it.
Also, to anyone wondering about snow that hasn't seen it? It's all a lie. You know what you end up with by the time a few months of snow have fallen? Dirty grayish-black shit everywhere. That's it.
All that seeming beauty is nothing more but a frosty sponge to soak up all the grime and filth that accumulates every day.
And to anyone who has that fantasy of sipping cocoa in front of a fire on a cold night?
Just do that after you've stuffed yourself in a bathtub full of ice for a while like someone just drugged you and cut out one of your kidneys to sell on the black market. Same frigging effect.
You were cold, then you drank warm stuff and sat near a heat source until you weren't cold anymore.
How magical.

I had to get this off my chest - I just found out that workers at the local district court have been doing favors for friends and family.

There are people here whose lives have been destroyed by this corrupt court, and are actually killing themselves because of it. And the court workers are giving their friends free passes.

Pardon my language, but I hope these fuckers end up in fucking Supermax.
