OK. 'cause its a weird angle and quality.

A good tool for showing a subject how they're doing things wrong/improving.

I kind of think I need to hear this story now! Also, you probably don't want to get a new microwave.

'Twas playing before christmas, when all through the house, not a packet was received, not even a...

Actually, there's not much to it. My connection would die for a bit whenever my wife made popcorn. One evening I had enough and decided it was time to cut into some drywall and use a coat hanger & some tent poles (because I'm apparently too cheap to spend $20 on a decent fiberglass cable fishing set) to run that ethernet cable over the laundry/bath into the mech room so I could physically wire up my entertainment center to the side of my house with the cable modem.

Life has been greatly improved since. Next up on my list is to wire up the kitchen, not because the microwave interferes with my wifi (I've since gotten a new micro & moved on to a 5ghz wifi), but just because I'm anti wifi. :)

Good on you, DIY ace!

Just being on WiFi does not break your internet for gaming. If your ping is <50 ms, you're doing fine.

Until someone decides to make some popcorn in the microwave... At least that's what happened when I was on a 2.5 GHz wifi.

When wireless first came out everyone got real excited by the idea of Internet THATS WIRELESSOMG.

But in reality, there's no reason to use wifi unless a wired connection is otherwise impossible for some reason.

Which isn't to say wireless is unuseable, just that wired is so much better. Next time you have the cash spare (like ACTUALLY spare, don't put off paying the bills for it), buy a cable. Trust me.

Sure it's cool using wired for 1 Gbps downloads, but I'm just not putting up with an ethernet cable across the floor to my XBox.

I've always used Wifi for my online gaming, even back in the Halo 2 & 3 days (sorry, Evil Otto & Butcher!). Hell, even back in the Combat Evolved days using that program that mimicked system link.

I could have had ethernet, but I've been lazy and cheap, which is all my fault. Paul probably was thinking of me, and I'm going to give him the benefit of a doubt that in no way did he mean to tease people who have done all they can (and all they can afford) to get the best connection possible.

I don't think she has future proofed herself, though. She's just in a great spot at the moment. With her next album, if it's all pop, I fully expect her old country fans to go, and she will retain her new fans. It's easy to see this kind of thing. Metallica fans loved Metallica. They liked the black album, then they quit liking their new stuff. But, all the new fans Metallica made stuck on with Load, Reload, and so on. Avril Lavigne had fans who loved her first two albums, and liked Girlfriend on her third album, which was extremely pop and viewed by some as selling out. She hit her top sales numbers with that record, and went on her biggest tours, making the most money. The fans quit caring afterwards, and she's faded largely into irrelevance.

I posit that Taylor Swift is at her biggest right now, simply because she hasn't yet chased off her country fans, and her pop fans are new. This is how I feel. I bought her debut, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, and 1989. I sold back 1989 to the record store...but I was going to go to her tour before I saw the setlist, which I don't imagine most people look at. I'm not going to buy her next album if it doesn't go back to pop country.

Hayley Williams is the singer for Paramore.

The problem is that songs about successful love are worryingly generic.

Maybe Das Beste by Silbermond.

It was a popular song as a power ballad since Silbermond is normally a rock band. It basically talks about how she can't believe she ended up with someone so good. Lots of creepy stuff about watching him sleep.

There's another one by Jennifer Rostock called Mein Parfüm, which is actually a bitter song, but it explains how she can't be with the guy because he's been fooled by a bad girl. But, she specifically calls him ein Kavalier, which is another word for gentleman. So there's one.

The problem: the song's woefully obscure. It's by an experimental female-fronted German electronic punk group.

As for helping them not randomly hate you, you're screwed.

Anyway, it was only 79 cents or something to fill up a gallon. It was basically free. You'd have to be crazy NOT to do it.

As I asked before... what the hell is wrong with you, man?

After looking up what Rooster Booster is, I have to agree with Claude on this one. Drinking more than 2 energy drinks in a 24 hour period gives me a head ache, I think I'd die drinking a gallon.

She could thoroughly kick my ass without breaking a sweat!

Indeed. That deadlift was impressive!

Uhhhhhhhh, is this security footage of someone who didn't know they were being filmed?

I'm pretty sure she posted that on her instagram or twitter or something.

Wait, what's the weird part? The Rooster Booster jug? Sometimes you gotta just eat something that doesn't agree with you.

The way you wrote it, it was a regular occurrence.

Trying that once - dumb, but understandable. Doing it more than once... weird.
