    I suspect the crazy American claim culture plays a role also. They might be liable if you manage to open it and electrocute yourself because you didn't unplug the device first or modify it and set your house on fire.

    Yup, every time I try something like that it ends in some degree of bloodshed. Use scissors to open a package and a coconut you just throw on a stone floot till it cracks.

    My cdplayer from 1989 shows no signs of stopping.(But yeah, those things where expensive then)

    But then you find they put one way screws in or even rivets and if you manage to open it dispite those measures the frame was torn because the metal was too thin and that tiny plastic sprocket was ruduced to powder as designed and can't be sourced anywhere.

  6. I wouldn't call TDI new. They've been around since at least the nineties.

    You're lucky. Would you have been 39 you would not have been able to do so.

    Cut apple in half inch slices and dip into pancake batter, then deep fry till they have a nice color. Add powdered sugar as desired. Yum. My condolences on the dog.

    At home there is interuptions every 5 minutes also. Change diapers, baby cries, hold him! Feed him, toddler comes in and start dissecting the plants and drawing on papers, screaming if you stop him. Wife says she's out of cigarettes. Go & buy! Now! Don't forget the dishes & cook lunch. Also constnt links to Facebook being forwarded thru skype that needs commenting asap. etc

    Wouldn't work for return. They consider you as 'not showing up' and your ticket is cancelled without refund.

    To quote my wife on that, "sweaters and thick covers are for people who live in bad houses that can't be kept warm properly".

    I usually had 19 or 20 in the daytime, 17 at night when I was single. Now that I'm married it's 24 degrees 24/7. Took a long time to get used to that.

    I like that too, but my wife starts complaining it's fucking freezing if it drops below 75, so I usually sleep without a cover.

    Not to me. I'm used to Celsius, so when I encounter a temperature in Fahrenheit, I'll have to convert it to Celsius first, to know how much it is.

    but turning it off is dead easy. It's an option in the modem menu. Kinda pointless anyway when you live in the middle of nowhere. Nobody's ever going to use the public thing.
