General OT Thread #31: Wild Wish Offense Was As Potent As Fel

[Lapa]

So, you finally sold your soul to the world of applications you don't need, large monthly bills and constant facebook and twitter access that will slowly and surely ruin your ability to think individually.

Congratulations.

Says the Nokia 3510 owner?

The Town? Argo? Bueller? Bueller?

Out of those I've only seen Argo. It was ok, but nothing special IMO.

Says the Nokia 3510 owner?

I used to have a 3510i.

Now I have two phones in fact, my friends have the other number and my relatives and other, more 'official' contacts (such as public offices) have the other. I also give the latter number when I'm applying for a job. That way I know what type of a call I'm expecting when my phone rings.

First one is a Nokia 2730 Classic. Everything I need from a phone, simple interface, 2mpix camera in case I absolutely need to take a picture of something, mp3 player and 1gig mini-SD slot.

Second one is a Nokia 6230i. It's an older model, from 2005 in fact, but it's a reliable phone, has simple interface, and does what it's intended to do.

Another bonus with the two-phone system is that I have prepaid contracts in both phones. That means I'm saving money because I don't have any monthly fees or data plans. It also means that my number is impossible to find unless I've given it out myself, so I know exactly who has my number and therefore eliminate the telemarketers and such.

I bought the 2730 3 years ago, paid 70€ for it. The other one I got for free. My monthly prepaid costs are maybe 5-10€ at most.

So yeah, it's a great way to save money.

I have a Lumia 920 I use, and iPhone 4S & iPhone 4 unused on my desk. Paid grand total of zero euros for them.

 

[Lapa]

I have Xperia S. It actually saves me money too, as instead of text messages / calls, I can just send a message via WhatsApp or Facebook. Before I paid 30-50€ a month for my phone use, now it's like 18€. It could be less, I'm just too lazy to ask for offers.

Also makes my life easier because of navigation, Google Maps etc. Also, bus rides to school every day are far less boring

Apparently they tap the mini donut beer at Noon and run until empty, I think they ran out at 4pm?

 

[Jarick]

Wedding/honeymoon stuff is killing me. But I'm almost done. And my wallet is so much lighter.

Also, picked up some Leine's Orange Shandy yesterday. Good stuff.

Also, had a few Old Fashioneds yesterday...decent stuff, but wow it gets you drunk. That and the lady that plays Betty are my favorite (only?) parts about Mad Men.

More passive aggressive than nice IMO.

The accent thing is very true, my girlfriends Dad makes fun of me endlessly for talking "weird"

I use my iPod for everything, it's about time I got an iPhone and just combined the both.

One of the employees said that on Friday they ran out in twenty minutes. Waited with my buddy in line yesterday. Got in line at 11:45 just to get some.

I start college tomorrow.. Hopefully this will be better then high school.

...That's not even remotely close to be comparable.

Will you be living on campus or is it more of a community college you'll be commuting to from home? If it's a community college and you're still living at home your life probably won't be too different in terms of schedule and all that but if it's a college you're living on campus at it will definitely be different. I'll be going back to college in a week and living in a single dorm so I'll definitely be looking forward to that, though it is a freshmen dorm.

I would say it's more of an empty politeness. Makes a good impression, though.

While I get the mini-donuts and beer combination at the State Fair, those are two things that sound better by themselves.

 

[Jarick]

Beer and cheese curds, though. Yes.

Been listening to Tim Minchin on youtube.

Hilarious.

community college...

Our College in QC is sort of like a prep school for you guys... Except we're there for like 2-3 years...

If you're going to base your opinions on someone after just the first day you're probably not going to have a great time.

There's very little point in me being at work right now.
