10 EUR for 1GB and flat for all landline and Vodafone internal calls here in Germany.

Used to be way more expensive a few years ago.

Things work the opposite here in the US>

Prices on that stuff keep rising and rising...

On the other hand... what are you paying for standard gasoline (no super etc)? Same for your homes... When you want to build a normal house, it's like 200k EUR+ here

I would be very happy to get a house for that cheap here. :[

Lots of cheap homes in Canada but no where you would want to live.

Canadian prices are worse than the US. They've gotten insane up there.

Because the murder per capita is so low I bet. It's mad max here in the states.

I'd have to check but I strongly suspect the violence per capita rate is also much lower. Even in larger cities / urban cores.

In which direction would my statement trigger you?

@Minion-Queen said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

Is it still a lie if you only eat the bacon and lettuce?

Sandwich can never be a lie if it contains bacon.

Even if that sandwich is purely lettuce and bacon.

Weekend plans... Meeting a friend and his family on Friday at some party, birthday BBQ with friends on Saturday, BBQ at my parents place. Another carnivore weekend, so much for trying to not eat meat. BTW: The party on friday probably includes a BBQ...

Why would you try to not eat meat??? Are you some kind of hippie or something?

I try to do at least one week a month without meat. It makes me deeply angry and reminds me why I enjoy meat. Without the depths of suffering there can be no peaks of smoked, juicy, carcinogenic, orgasmic, delicious, meat.

Also I might live longer to enjoy more meat.

Welcome to the Madhouse as someone said earlier @tiagom!

Madhouse is not an unreasonable descriptor of this corner of the internet heheh

Just had someone come over to my desk and mention the porn filter isnt working. So, naturally, I googled for boobs.

While she was at my desk.

Porn filter isn't working.

And what's the bad news? SCNR

She's HR

I think I turned a bright crimson.

Why was she looking up porn, or do you have some kind of reporting in place for when others look it up that she gets reported about it occurring?

unknown

no reporting in place

if you want to go ask her, fill your boots lol I'm going to keep my mouth shut

@wirestyle22 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

@MattSpeller I've always wanted to learn sleight of hand. Never stolen a thing in my life but I think its a very useful skill to have.

That's a good one as well.

I really recommend lockpicking as a hobby. You can do it sitting on your couch watching TV. Increase your manual dexterity and gain a new skill for cheap.

I didn't read the label.. the spicy chili in the beer are actually pretty damn good.

But wow.. lol

I like spicy things and I like beer. Usually beer is used to wash down spicy things. I am deeply confused by this product.

Bonus point awarded to those who can navigate a GUI without a mouse.

Ugh, I had to do that to the wife's laptop I upgraded to Windows 10.

It never advanced past Vista, and the touchpad was ... uh ... touchy. AKA, not working.

I had to give in and plug in a mouse.

I wouldn't say it's an enjoyable experience to use a GUI without a mouse, but I can do it. win-key makes life so much easier than the old days. Anyone else remember WordPerfect and having to press ctrl+= to get the menus?

I happen to know a lot of NJ state employees are still using word perfect.

If I ever get a job somewhere that people use WP I'm going to burn the place to the ground for the betterment of humanity.

haven't managed to eat anything all day thus far, but going to my aunt and uncle's house for dinner in a little while.

Too much Pizza-n-beer last night?

That phrase... does it have any sensical meaning in American English? I've never heard that combination of words...

Clearly it's a joke.

@JaredBusch : And nobody asked you the important question: Do you have a spare?

These can be picked up at best buy for $100, no real need to hold a spare....

True but when I want a spare I want one **right F!(#%@# now and $100 is no big deal to have it on hand.

12 million people live in Rio - holy crap. No thank you!

Big. Simple. Sailboat.

Not enough room for pot

It's only transportation to an island anyway.

Any solution that involves things you can not make yourselves = failure.

My issue with a train, or anything that isn't squarly anchored away from zombies is a big risk.

Trains are a much smaller risk compared to hoarding up in a building, but still...

Not moving, you're dying.

Depends on how long you need to do it for.

Over a year or two forget land transportation. It's impractical and I think most people here are undervaluing how quickly things degrade when they're not maintained.

Trains for example - don't see any heavy duty diesel mechanics around here

That's my point, if an IT person can't maintain it (as is the conversation here) we'd have to find someone alive to do it.

Until we were able to get some where far enough away to get out to sea / island without any zombies.

Providing zombies can't swim that's fairly easy here. Rest of you might be screwed

Mods float? I know how to test this specious claim

Hopefully we will just get smart people coming over. And lots of them.
