TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 woah, where do you have to deal with that sort of weather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 The Northern of the Dakotas. It's kind of a wake up call since I previously lived in Seattle and Northern California which really aren't that cold. Technically it's -20 with windchill but still, that's damn cold.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I think it's fair to include windchill, after all that's what you're out in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 PFFFFFT if you don't get -40 in winter where you live, you don't really get winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I think it's fair to include windchill, after all that's what you're out in. I agree, but I prefer to state it as "X temperature, feels like Y temperature". At least to me that makes it more impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coldest it gets here ever is around -30 without windchill, but it's relatively common to see -10 or -15 without windchill. I just kinda took the average.

staySICK Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 This is the thread I'd post a picture of my kid in, right? Thanks a fucking lot, American medical system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 It was my father's birthday today/tonight. He's the kind of guy who can get you a great gift, but when it comes to him, he doesn't want anything. Well, he's about to be a grandpa (not from me), so I thought he and my mother would like to be able to see "da babby" when it's in its room. We are talking about half across the States, and while they Skype, it's probably about once a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronixal Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Last thing I bought off any significance was a pair of Astro A40s. Superb piece of kit though after hearing off all the issues some have had, every little pop or noise make me crap myself that it's duff. Tho it's usually the game or loose connection.

deanb Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 A 6 month sub with my remaining Tesco points. Got myself some new glasses. They were bogof. Though only one has the anti-glare coating, and that'pd be the pair I'm thinking isn't fully fitted to my face, so going ot have to likely pop in for some tweaks at some point. It's just the one arm, feels a tad too short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) $35 after shipping. Not bad at all. I also guess you guys can see that I really like the dude's stuff. Edited November 9, 2013 by MaliciousH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Heat Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Picked up a new bookshelf since I'd run out of places to put my game cases. Should last me another few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I've spent a shitload of money recently: I bought these but they're too big: As in they actually hurt to put in. The package says they're a large fit instead of standard but the Amazon page doesn't seem to mention size at all. A few of the reviews mention that they only come in large but most other reviews are positive. =\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 are they ear plugs? What do you use them for? and have you had a go of your coffee pump yet? What's it like? I miss espresso, but don't want a machine cluttering up the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Ear plugs. I see a lot of live music. I got serious about plugs a few years ago when there were 2 shows within a month or so period that absolutely destroyed my hearing for a few days after each show. Ever since then I've always tried to remember to bring plugs. But yes, I've used the Aeropress, and it's amazing. It's incredibly easy to use and clean and the coffee tastes great. Just boil water and then in under 2 minutes after that you have a cup of espresso. I've yet to get anal over water temps but I just try and get it right before boiling. My two favorite things are that it makes a cup of coffee directly into your cup of coffee and that clean-up is incredibly simply. You compress the grounds so much that you just pop out all of them at once and wipe off whatever remains.

staySICK Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 what TV did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 No filters, no nadda huh? I might look into getting one then. The pack on Amazon comes with a fat stack of paper filters (I think you use one per cup.) However, I bought this: http://www.amazon.com/Able-Fine-Coffee-Filter-Aeropress/dp/B00D1X0MQU/ So it's a filter I just wash off and I'm done. what TV did you get? I linked it to the pic! It was $750 for a few days and the 55 inch model was also on sale but almost instantly sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) oh I missed that! Nice! Been thinking of updating my TV (46" LCD 120 hz, about 4 years old), probably next year and moving my current into our newly established basement. I'm skipping 3D and looking strictly at traditional LED tvs though Edited November 10, 2013 by staySICK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 3D didn't play into my purchase. Just an added feature with it being 120hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 yeah, looking its rather difficult to find non 3d tvs. bah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 All 3D means is that there will be an extra button on your controller and some more settings to ignore and it will be at minimum a 120hz screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Over here it's getting harder to find 3D TVs, that seems to have been dumped in favour of smart TV features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 It was on sale in HMV, and at the front of the store so I picked it up while I was actually there to buy: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
