Weird. Sounds more like Soviet Russia.

In Soviet Russia, the Internet surfs YOU, or something

How do they document service lost? It's weird to me how this can be enforced, I'm thinking extensive documentation would be required, with several thousand hoops to jump through before restitution can be sought.

Or maybe I've dealt with AT&T too long.

Or maybe if you used the phone and talked to somebody, it could have all been handled within a couple of minutes

But no seriously, with a few key strokes any ISP distributor can determine whether bandwidth was sent to a location or not. Same way power companies and water companies can determine a break in a line some where without even stepping outside. Everything is passed through monitors and meters.

In a nutshell, you live in Germany, your internet goes out, the internet provider have to pay YOU compensation for loss of service.

So, it's kind of like the proverbial 30 minutes or less or it's free deal that pizza places do? I wouldn't mind being paid for their mistakes. Better than me having to pay them more to fix it.

The Internet companies should just give you a voucher for free pizza when that happens. Because I just get pissed when the Internet goes out, and pizza would fix that.

I would have credit for free service for a few years if that was the case in the United States. I've had my fair share of problems with AT&T over the years.... their customer service is just pathetic.

I have their "automated voice messaging system" memorized by now. I just cuss and say random **** until it finally gets tired of trying to translate and connects me to an actual person.

I could literally say "INTERNET CONNECTION ISSUES".

and it would come back with "Okay, Billing.. let me get you to someone who can help with that".

Then I would get on the phone with someone after waiting on hold 10 minutes to be transferred directly and it mis dials and go right back to the same menu..

just a frustrating process all together.

Pizza fixes everything. They say that laughter is the best medicine, but I would argue that pizza is better.

I forgot just how funny the first season of HIMYM is.

I've been re watching on Netflix and there are a bunch of LOL moments.

Hip hop/rap is dying.

I'd say it's dead and buried. Mainstream rap/hip hop at least.

I wonder about Thrift Shop by Macklemore. That's #1 in the charts right now. That's what you call mainstream and I think that's kinda dying off, it's gonna be 1 hit made per like a couple months for Hip hop/rap unlike Pop with 1 hit made per every 2 weeks or something.

OMFG YALL. As much as I hate this metaphor, the Chick Biscuits from Popeyes are like sex in your mouth.

The most amazing thing I have ever had from a fast food chain.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Better than Chick Fil A's chicken minis which are essentially as addicting as heroin? I don't even think we have a Popeyes close.

Re: Off Topic 2013

Popeye's kicks so much *** it's ridiculous. Although, I think they discontinued their Bayou Buffalo sauce? That or the store here is lying to me and hording it all. Either way, really disappointed about that.

[Dog]

I've been to Popeyes a few times in the Atlanta airport, so I guess I can't really judge from that, but it wasn't very good. I liked KFC's chicken better.

[jeremym480]

You guys have got to stop with the Popeye's talk. Some of us are trying to diet over here.






* considers stopping at Popeye's on my way home for lunch. A two piece chicken, with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy and an additional side of red beans and rice with a large sweet tea sounds delicious.










On second thought I better stick with my low carb stuffed red peppers from last night

Stuffed with what? I need to start branching out from my black beans and rice wraps.
