In certain cities, there are tales told of internet plans that are twice as fast and cost a quarter as much.
Have you ever thought of registering a shed as a residence in some other city, and just installing a router plus a very, very, very long ethernet cable back to your house? It'd be cheaper and faster than MPC.
Hell, putting your videos on a USB stick, walking to YouTube's HQ, finding someone to help you, and having them copy your video directly to a server would be fast than MPC.

Or, put the videos on a USB stick and snail-mail it to Youtube's HQ along with instructions would probably be faster.
New USPS slogan : we are faster then MPC

They're called air bumps. Meant to prevent scratches and dents from car park incidents

Is this the first time you were exposed to Citroën?

@Jaloopa They look awful.

@JazzyJosh like I said, it's an acquired taste.
Personally, I like the air bumps. The shape of the bonnet took longer to get used to

they're on the up, man. the Cactus is nice, although I admit the looks are an acquired taste
At least they've improved since the 70s.

Status Been reading up on which single malt scotch to buy next. Have a couple possibilities. Get the distinct sense that I'm being price-fucked here in Ontario.
If anyone is in a liquor shop, can you let me know what your local price is of this:
Glenmorangie Signet Highland Single Malt (750ml)

@Weng said in The Official Status Thread:
I suspect this was more of a 'You legitimately poisoned yourself with beer, you fucking moron' problem than 'You dehydrated yourself, you fucking moron'
The two are related. Also, don't wait until you have the hangover to drink more water. Start drinking more water while you're causing the hangover.
-
@Lorne-Kates a quick search of UK based web retailers suggests that's a £120-£130 bottle. You have expensive tastes

Given how little I actually drink, I'm looking forward to investing in something. All the reviews I've read of this one make it sound very good.
So £130 ~= $241CAD.
The LCBO sells this for $339CAD ~= £180
Yeah, getting buttsnucked on the price. =(

That's pretty much my approach. A litre bottle can last me a year or more easily

$180 in North Carolina, so around $230CAD according to google.

While I think the air bumps silly, they serve a purpose so I like them for that.
People scratching/denting my car in car parks is my biggest bugbear.

@Lorne-Kates said in The Official Status Thread:
HOW?
CITROËN!
Seriously though, no idea if the tire is even removed, but that car's suspension will let you take one of them off pretty much without a jack. You'll have to nudge it a bit to get it off, but it will happily sit there on three wheels and not care.
Hydropneumatic suspension FTW.
-
@Onyx Isn't it just that the suspension on the side is lowered, with both passenger wheels still present?
-
@loopback0 Yes, it's quite possible. The DS can't level itself automatically on that axis, AFAIK. I think the first one that could was a version of XM. My Xantia certainly couldn't, but it would happily level itself if you threw several hundred kilos of junk into the
trunkboot.
-
@Onyx Well IIRC jacking the DS involves raising the whole car, putting the jack thing in and then lowering the whole car, leaving the two jacked wheels lifted because the suspension pulls them up. I don't think it would work as well if it auto levelled.
edit: Yup.
-
@loopback0 Don't have direct experience with them so it's possible. Xantia didn't do that, at least not in the "service" mode which was specifically made for messing around with wheels. Basically, it was the same height as the highest setting but completely stiff, no damping on the suspension whatsoever.

For that price it'd probably be cheaper to drive down to the US.

Certainly there's a possibility that in 130 lines of code, everything runs so smoothly that the vague message-box-as-an-error-handler will be sufficient?

Au contraire. Lord of the Rings was a shitty waste of tree but the films are at least watchable.
-
@blakeyrat Didn't you see National Lampoon's Vacation?
But the joke was just that it had a second set of headlights over the first one. (Or actually, the way they modified an actual car, they put a second set upside-down under the first one and lowered the bumper.

They'd have been better with at least 20 minutes cut from the first two, and 40 minutes cut from the third.
@FrostCat said in The Official Status Thread:

No? I watch a lot of older movies, but I don't know why you'd assume I've seen a movie that came out in 1983.
