here in Finland meat prices have increased a lot faster than other foods. Eating meat is kind of expensive now.
Not only that, we had a big shortage of pork and pork based products this summer
The more connected I'm forced to be, the more disconnected I wish I was.
That urge to disconnect will only get stronger.
Sooner or later I'm going to retire very early and move to some small town in the Sierra Nevadas.
. If you can retire early do it. If you are anything like me you will find a richer and happier life. I have given up completely on my modern life. We(wife and I) have just about completed building our home on 60+ acres. The only connection here to the outside world is a very long private road and mobile phone/broadband. We are completely self sufficient for water, power, composting toilet(all the mod cons), and a large percentage of our food.
The biggest concern I have at the moment is what sort of animals to stock the land with. I was thinking Dorpers as they shed their wool annually and are edible. Unfortunately, I tend to name my animals and become friends with them which could make things difficult when it comes to the dinner but we live and learn. I have enjoyed the last few years of my life more than I ever enjoyed life ever. I may not have much money but I have a quality of life now that cannot be bought.
Juts to clarify something for you. A slow shooting rifle is one that if it is fired at you gives you the opportunity to step out of the way of the bullet. This makes it much safer than a fast shooting rifle.
I have given up on being a free tech support beacon for those around me. Odds are they wont give you free plumbing, accountancy, electrical work, etc, etc.
I even saw Dr Gregory House make the STD claim on TV.
Did you go the Pegasys route? What genotype? Did it work? No need to answer if you think I am being rude and/or nosy.
I totally agree. I live in the Adelaide Hills and this city is without doubt the best city in the country. I have heard people say that you have to go to Melbourne for culture but I suspect they are on drugs.
I am one of those strange people that likes to sing to his dog. This is one of the songs to the tune of 'Lola - she was a showgirl'(dont know real title)
His name was Humphrey
His head was bumpy
A phrenologist's delight
He gave the doctors all a fright
+5 gets you another verse

I have a chicken sitting next to my keyboard as I type this. They make magnificent pets and they can be trained.

Blame the Jews
Don't forget the penis
Is there anything that mathematicians can't do?
Only in the long run. And you know what Keynes had to say about the 'long run'...
It tastes like chicken?
I don't know about forgetting. In modern /. it's probably unknown by most.

I was going to make one but it didn't look scary enough

I've actually never played an FPS on a console. The bullets track the target after firing or the reticle 'sticks' to the target. Are you serious?
Haikus are easy
but sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator
The aliens still won't talk to us as they are far too busy laughing
30 years? Damned kids. When I started reading /., it was still on teletype.
I tried to respond in Morse code but the junk filter wouldn't let me. I think that that says something to all of us(except those damned kids).
their P/E is still ridiculous
Aren't they all these days?
Remember what you said when you slam into the ass-end of someone.
Never done it but I suspect i would say 'Fuck It.'
Or more common, when you get hit and pushed into someone else's car.
If that's common where you are then you should stay off the roads

Also everyone is assuming that we will have an electricity grid that works in 25 years. I don't think we will.
I have one of those and now have a name for it. Thank you.
2114 for some real nostalgia
My 11/23 works fine and is in the garage. I fired it up for nostalgic reasons a while ago but it didn't really do much exciting.
I had no idea NZ was that bad. Before I moved here I had cable and I so miss it.
where in the world are you?
