  1. @jayhawkbabe I would find that stat funny, except I've spent most of my adult life living in the Midwest. Sigh.
  2. @calldrdave ...In other news, net throughput caps discourage net video use, which I see as a move to protect the investment in video. Sigh.
  3. @calldrdave ...And 50GB is roughly 90hrs of video at typical BitTorrent file bitrates.
  4. @calldrdave 80% of the throughput is used by 5% of the users. E-mail me if you want me to name the source. Gold tier cap is 50GB...
  5. @calldrdave Also, the Gold Tier cap is enough to d/l 5 seasons of 1hr-slot TV from BT. Who has that much free time?
  6. @calldrdave I talked with one of their engineers back in the day. Turns out that 80% of throughput's from the 3d std dev of the sub base. :(
  7. @bailann The subtext to my tweets about electricity is that Westar treats its ratepayers like an ATM machine, while the state does nothing.
  8. @ozinn The umbrellas just wind up getting &%@!ing lost. Why keep one around if it's never around when you actually need it???
  9. @bailann ... @AmerikaG got it right. Note that Westar's been digging up every possible excuse to raise rates, which might amp your deposit.
  10. @BurgervilleUSA I can get burnt ends with cornbread and slaw here, and it's glorious. But you're still making me homesick. Stop that. :-P
  11. Per @AaronGustafson, something out there of interest to those with a soft spot for the crafty: http://is.gd/1ClhU
  12. @AmerikaG re 23d/Inverness, not just kids. But Lawrence is famous for its potholes, and sidewalk maint. is totally on property owners. :-(
  13. @schampeo Allyson Hannigan: giving girliness a good name since 1997.
  14. Aw, gosh, that's just spiffy. Another shitferbrains day.
  15. @setmajer Nietzsche is dead. So what's the big deal?
  16. Per @cmykdorothy, a Canadian take on the Eat Local movement that's started to catch on here in Lawrence: http://is.gd/1yvUU [brilliant]
  17. @merylkevans Thanks! Tue. mostly sucked out loud (I have crappy birthday luck) but a few things since have really made up for it. :-)
  18. RT @mattmay: The doc told me I can't have beer. So I'm drinking Bud Light. [Teehee.]
  19. @irony_delerium Dew pt. in the 40's this afternoon, so, uh, tropical, my ass. :-P
  20. @mmogill Another thing to keep in mind is that AppleCare is actually worthwhile.
