I'm not sure if you could even find Guinness in an ordinary supermarket. There are already like 20 different kinds of Belgian and Dutch beer to choose from.

You would have to go to a liquor store to buy something specialized like Guinness. Most supermarkets only sell the major US beer brands and they can up only a certain percentage of alcohol, 3.2% for my state and like 6% for a state like Texas.

Lol, 3% can hardly be called a beer :p

Well, that's US "beer" for you. XD
Most German beer has around 4,9%. Some are a bit stronger (5,2%) and there's a beer called "Rotlicht" (Redlight) which has 6,0%.

Turns out that the cable company had some issues. I hope everything will be sorted out when I get home.

I'm glad I ordered a TV and internet package early. We had it about a week before we moved in if I remember correctly, so that was perfect.

I was thinking about getting a "triple play" packet (Internet + Telephone + TV), I could also order a "Budnesligapaket" which would allow me to watch german bundesliga (and second league) live on TV...
But well, the problem with those packets is: If the company fucks up, you are left with nothing. No TV, no Internet, no Telephone.

Maybe so but I thought for you Bloodbath would be obvious. Well, maybe it's just me who's thinking that.

I just think that Bloodbath are underrated. Can't say the same for Bathory.

And it's a good album. The next Anvil album I'll probably get is Metal on Metal if I can find it cheap. The lowest I've found is £16. I'm surprised at its rarity.

I guess it's also because of their gained popularity due to that documentary.

Probably that as well but you'd think they'd keep the album in print and in good accessibility. Isn't Metal on Metal one of their more popular albums?

Yes, it is. But you have to keep in mind that they had no record company (or only smaller ones). So it's hard to keep an album in print if you don't have a major label covering the costs.

You can have confidence in me.

I have. But I'm a bit of a pessimist.

Whatever you say, I'll succeed with my dragon love.

I wish you all the best.

And I really want YouTube to end their misery.

Maybe we can just DoS their servers?

We're not Anonymous. If they have a problem with YouTube, they can take care of them.

We don't have to be Anonymous to DoS a server. Also, everybody is Anonymous. :P

And that's the closest we can get. I expected actual fire on a website. Oh well.

That would be awesome. Hacking their servers and laying a "flame"-layer over all their sites.

So, are you a good hacker? :P

About every beer has about 5.5% alcohol here and you can also buy 'bock' beers which are somewhat heavier with 6.5%. I think you're supposed to drink those in the autumn and winter.

There are strict alcohol laws in my state. That's why most people who live close to the border will run across and by the higher percentage beer from time to time or else by the higher priced beers at the liquor stores.

Lol. It's a bit odd how alcohol laws aren't universal in the US. I don't suppose there's much border control between states so I guess it's easy to just hop to another stat, get the illegal, good beer and hop back.

I might have been interested in studying abroad if I was allowed to. There are some requirements you have to meet before you can enter an exchange program, but I haven't looked into those yet.

Anyway, I can't really leave my gf behind for half a year and let her take care of the apartment and pay for all the bills. Of course I could arrange something, but still... it's inconvenient and I think we both wouldn't like it.

Take her with you, simple. It's just a matter of making sure she has the proper work visas and documents. I remember at my university they had specialized apartments for foreign students and their families.

But how's she gonna be able to finish her English studies then? I don't suppose they have an English, culture and language program at the MIT.

Or you can just get her a cat to keep her company.

That might actually work. She's been asking me constantly about if we're gonna get a cat soon :p Of course she realises that there's a financial risk coming with it.

Definitely more reliable, yes. Though there is the problem of traffic jams, which you won't have with trains and subways. Doesn't count for the bus though.

I just wish I lived by a train station and only need very little walking to get to work from my destination. No buses, no own car required.

Well that'd be convenient, but the problem with trains is that they usually go to some central point and you often still need to take the bus to get to a specific place.

That's a bit odd. I'd expect the staff would attempt to contact the authorities.

Taking a fire axe, which we don't have, to a velux roof window is never a good idea. Just open the window and head onto the roof, before jumping onto someone's car below. That's my fire safety plan, in a nutshell.

Are you sure the roof is the way to go? If there is a fire the smoke will be bellowing upwards and you won't be able to see anything or breath for that matter.

I better not tell o.o

Well that'd be convenient, but the problem with trains is that they usually go to some central point and you often still need to take the bus to get to a specific place.

Not in central Liverpool. I could get off one station and only have to walk five minutes to my destination if I'm working at a convenient place.

That's pretty neat. When I lived with my parents I always had to take the subway for 10 minutes and then the bus for another 25 minutes after I got off the train (or wanted to get on the train). Now it's only 15 minutes with the tram to get to my place from the central station.

Not anymore. I doubt the police will find anything on his computer anyway.

I think the staff would hold records for such things but still, it happened long ago and you hardly see the SS these days.

Yeah. I think they did submit some daily toons again some time ago, but that must've been last year.

I'm sure there are some bock beers in Germany (and of course Altbier), but I don't drink them. Mostly I drink Pils (or Pilsner).

Well you're supposed to drink it in the autumn, but while I know a lot of beer drinkers, I think none of them likes bock beers all that much. I think they also prefer pils or white beer in the summer (from the tap). While I really don't like beer all that much, I have to hand it to them that white beer is pretty good stuff on a warm summer day.

Also, even 6% would be really mild if you compare it to stuff you can get in Poland. ^^

Why am I not surprised?

It's one of those state's rights issues. There are certain things the Federal Government can regulate and certain things the States can regulate. And no it's not too hard to just go across the border and pick up a bunch of beers, though there are some stores that won't sell to out of state people for some odd reason.

But how's she gonna be able to finish her English studies then? I don't suppose they have an English, culture and language program at the MIT.

I'm doubtful they do. It's more of a research university which means that most of their degreess are geared towards science.

That might actually work. She's been asking me constantly about if we're gonna get a cat soon :p Of course she realises that there's a financial risk coming with it.

Yeah, feeding it, buying cat litter, vet bills, etc. Although it's not a bad as having a kid, heh.

I thought playing scrappy was beneath the Yanks. I figured they were all finesse. :P

I'm going to be a long way from the building, before the smoke is that thick. I'll even have time to pack the laptop up, though I shouldn't.

I guess you can hone your skill as well by playing Pyroscape a few more times.

Nuggets, well I'm biased. We'll see how Game 2 goes. We've got a good team and if we can get a split in OKC, we'll have a home crowd after the lead in Game 3 ;)

Well they didn't to much tonight getting romped over. We'll see how it goes in game three if they can mount a comeback. There is a certain buzz in the air about the Thunder around the state; hopefully it'll be their year.

Yeah, it's 15 months for me.

I think I can see another corpse of a long dead B/Per just over the next ridge. I'll move to investigate, but the air is getting thin here and I'm not sure how long it's going to take.

Anyone from Labour who's reasonable is good enough or me. Gordon Brown had his ups and downs but I do feel sorry for the guy for being thrown in the deep end with the economic issues. I bet Tony Blair knew we were heading to a recession and left it to Gordon Brown.

Technically Brown should have known more about it, what with being chancellor for 10 years before the shit hit the fan...

Maybe so but when it came to him having to run the country, it might have been overwhelming. Although, the resignation of Tony Blair didn't all happen at once. Meh, I'm sure Brown would have managed it well by now or rather better than what Clegg and Cameron are doing right now.

Yeah, we'd have spent our way out of recession, keeping people in work, so that they can pay taxes and reduce the deficit. Sure, the way that the Tories have employed works, but it keeps the poor poor and the rich don't give a fuck, because they live off the interest.

The middle class, who are neither poor, nor rich, have an issue, because they're too dense to realise until now. Fuckwits.

Enjoy your spot! I was there briefly and it was great while it lasted. Now, I can only rely on EXP, posts and medals (for hexalist only) to climb my way up. However, I make around 10 posts a day so it's not that bad.

Yeah, I'm trailing behind on just over 8, but then I do get 40-50 B/P more per day than you :P

You're comparing yourself with a retired B/P'er...

Do you own a PS3? If so, we could play against each other via PSN (if it is possible to invite someone, never played online before).

No, I'm still on a dodgy PS2, because a 14" screen would never do it justice.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. Right now my PS3 is hooked to an old Commodore Screen, which just looks awful. I can't even read the text on the screen sometimes. o_O

Yeah, the screen at Bex' was like that - huge, but not capable of decent quality, so we just had to put up with it, despite how bad it made Fallout New Vegas

Home runs aren't always pretty. I mean last week Jeter hit a bomb that the wind pulled back maybe 10-15 yards and he was caught before the warning track.

In 162 games, scrappy comes into it. We played finesse in 2009, going 19 games straight without an error.

There isn't any reason to celebrate 4/20 if you are from germany/austria anyway. It's Adolf Hitler's Birthday. >_>

I'd move over there but it wouldn't shut up all the potheads about 420. :P

That's it, you're banned!!!!

I smell abuse of mod powers here!
Oh wait, I can still post, it was just an empty threat. Phew.

Try again.

You keep bashing them for being homosexual, though.

I keep bashing them for being gay

Same thing!

Yeah, Bathory was the first black metal band as well as leading the way to many bands using the viking metal term.

Exactly. Bloodbath seems to be very unknown even though they are a supergroup.

How does the music compare with Opeth?

But with the film, you'd think they'd get a major label covering them now.

I don't know where they are signed now. But I think they want to focus on producing new albums instead of re-releasing the old ones.

But new fans who saw the film will want to pick up all their albums so surely they most reprint them. Otherwise, people will only take the piracy route.

With that vote, you now have 13,000 experience points.

Interesting.

Your experience gave you a voting power of 6.44 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 38% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth 8.88 votes!

That's cool I guess.

19k b/p points

Yeah you hear about the differences in state laws sometimes. Primarily about gun laws, but also about drug policies and other controversial issues.

Anyway, some stores not wanting to sell it to you doesn't sound like a big problem to me. If they don't want your money, just go next door.

I'm doubtful they do. It's more of a research university which means that most of their degreess are geared towards science.

Yeah, I think most technical universities almost solely focus on engineering and scientific research. They might have some collaboration programs with other universities though. For example, I had an option for a minor in medicine. Sounded pretty cool to me, but I don't think I will have much benefit of that knowledge.

Exactly. It's mainly the vet bills that can pose a big issue, although I don't think I'd like to miss the money that goes to cat food either. Oh well, she'll just have to wait until we're both done studying and get proper jobs.

6,666 blams. It occurs to me only now that this is a very big number.
