Yes, they are. This terrain has the worst of both worlds. 106F in the summer, -10F in the winter.
Fun stuff.

Additional - One bit of good news, the internet company will be upgrading my speed in 6 days. Still shocked that they're improving the infrastructure this far out in the dust.

Probably, oh well no worries, I float. :-)

I am sure after all your hard work the lawn is looking lovely.

I did enjoy my swim, no skinny dipping this time, and no pictures. :-)

Do you have anything nice planned for the week? How are things with work going?

Yes i can imagine that. I'm also not a huge fan of sunblock but it hasn't been necessary for me as of yet. But the weather said something about up 34-35°C on the weekend here...

Well i played the first one which ws quite good but i think every Borderlands game is better in co-op. Looking forward to your impressions :)

Alright everyone. I think i'll go to sleep now *big good night hugs and waves*
See you tomorrow :)

It is surprising, even with a price increase the break even point is going to be a ways out.
I guess it's a gift horse, enjoy it.

I thought you might have it bad both ways. Desert-like areas are often a lot colder than people thinks. Are you used to the different extremes in weather, or do they still cause lots of problems for you?

That is good news. Will it make a big difference in download speed. I imagine they will be increasing the price to pay for all the work. Heaven forbid they use some of their profits for the infrastructure when they can charge the customer for the work.

Good night, sleep well.

My thoughts on co-op are much different from yours. Co-op is what burned me out on 2, to the point that I want to run through it all singleplayer, with a different character, to call it dead.

Have a good night, sleep well. =)

Goodnight! Sleep well!

*goodnight hug*

There is a ton of garden work to do at work. Those are my plans for this week if the weather lets me.

Oh, I certainly will. Having a speed over 1 megabyte a second again will feel like light speed compared to what I have now.

Well, the upgrade is 7.50 a month. 12 months, 90 dollars per customer per year, so they're making back 9 grand a year per 100 people, and that's at the lowest price point.
People with more disposable income than myself will choose better plans, I'm sure.
I'm better with cold than heat, to be sure. The only annoyance to the winter is when pipes want to freeze and/or burst.
That's when things have the potential to get messy.
But at the same time, I'm willing to sit in the warmest space in the house for the sake of continued computer usage, so my heat tolerance must be decent as well.

Going with the cheapest upgrade. 7.50 a month for 2 and a half times the speed.
It's not a bad deal, I can burn twice as much on a single meal, a drink and a pack of cigarettes.

Are they guaranteeing a minimum speed for the money or is it a 'shared' connection like mine?

You just be sure to take it easy and don't overdo it, especially if the weather is too hot. We don't want you passing out and cooking in the sun. :-)

I have one of my scans tomorrow. I have to swallow some of Dr Jekyll's potion to help things show up better on the scan. For some reason I can never remember the name of the stuff, I think it's called Barium Swallow.

I am still waiting for my appointment for the other scans, namely the brain scans, but if I don't hear about them soon I will chase them up again.

I am much better with the cold as well. It's easy to wrap up warm, but not so easy to stay cool. We don't really have problems with pipes freezing, even when the temperatures are low. I guess it's just the different way they are done here in the UK, or different materials perhaps?

It's a shame you get the increased speed after you downloaded all of your library again. It's as though they planned it like that to mock you. :-)

There's a guarantee on it. Their whole sales pitch revolves around not having to share.
Aside from the times that it crashes all together, the speed's been consistent unless I'm dealing with vendors who have piss poor online setups with horrible speed and stability.
Right, cold is easier to adjust to. In my case, indifference helps. I'll wear shorts when it's 5 degrees and feel more comfortable than people bundled up in multiple layers.
Silly people, they want to control the environment and end up miserable when they can't.

No clue in regards to the plumbing, I'm not exactly skilled in that area. Aside from a plan to install more insulation before cold weather sets in, I couldn't say which items have inherently better properties.

-laughs- Not too worried about it. The backup is current, and I would have done so whether it took a week or 6 months.
The speed will help whenever I get around to getting Witcher 3, assuming I don't just buy it for a console instead.

Yep, it's barium, like milk of magnesia only not as tasty.
I hope the results are 100% in your favor, whether that means finding nothing, or something easily treatable.
I've spent the last 3 years being used as a lab rat, I hate it.
