I mean I can't because my eyes are like weird pancakes and stuff and also WHY WOULD YOU EVEN EVER PUT SOMETHING IN YOUR EYE LIKE THAT

user15026

Okay. Now I super have to go.

Frank

@FAE Really? I've got pretty bad eyes, and I think I could still get them.

FAE

@OrigamiRobot When I got lasik, I could see the line where my cornea was cut open for a bit.

@Frank I couldn't when I was younger.

Frank

But I haven't actually investigated at all.

user15026

@Frank I can't.

FAE

22:00

Also, some people just have major, super eyesquick.

user15026

I can't get contacts, and pretty sure I still can't get lasik.

Origami Robot

@FAE NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

user15026

@FAE yes this.

FAE

@OrigamiRobot It was really annoying

Frank

@FAE Mine is the lasik.

Even though the chance of it going wrong is small, no, thank you. I like seeing very much.

22:01

Alright. Distraction. shakes off the fear paralysis and makes food

FAE

@AshleyNunn Eat well, pretty lady. <3

GnomeSlice

k So I thought the girl was the main character

turns out she's useless and just follows the dude around and revives you if you keep her 'love' up.

That's... ugh.

Origami Robot

@FAE I TRIED CONTACTS FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND IT DROVE ME INSANE

@AshleyNunn I USE THE NEXT BEST THING

FAE

@GnomeSlice 404

Origami Robot

Y U INF

FAE

22:03

@GnomeSlice That's disappointing :/

Chippies

@FAE not 404, they don't embed in chat, for some reason

if you click, the images show fine

FAE

ah I see

Chippies

something must be wrong with chat

Origami Robot

ONE DAY I WILL ACTUALLY GET PRESCRIPTION LENSES FOR MY PINCE NEZ

SaintWacko

@Frank Yeah, my girlfriend wants to get lasik, and I really want her to be happy, but I worry about this

Frank

22:06

Comcast charges customer for service they said was free.

They only remember when confronted with the recording.

So, if you ever use Comcast, record every damn call.

FAE

@SaintWacko The procedure is in general pretty safe with few to no complications. I had mine done 10 years ago and the tech's only gotten better since then.

Origami Robot

FIRST I SHOULD FIND MY PINCE NEZ...

Chippies

@Frank I'm glad I don't live in the US, although the fact that I'm in Canada now and there's only two ISPs available is a bit scary

Frank

@Chippies Yeah, don't expect ours to be any nicer.

Chippies

@Frank well, two is better than one

although I haven't heard a single good thing about Rogers

Frank

22:20

@Chippies And three is better than two. The more competition there is, the better it is for the consumer.

FAE

@Chippies some of my best friends live in Ontario, Rogers is awful

Chippies

@Frank yeah, but two means there is SOME competition, unlike with just one

with two ISPs they can actually lose customers, with just one ISP available, it's them or no internet

and no one is going to choose no internet nowadays

Frank

I've been doing some regular speed tests since I read about that ISP that sued their customer for proving they suck at providing that which they promised.

So far, mine is averaging somewhere around 35% of promised speed.

Chippies

@Frank mine is 95% and above pretty much at all times

Origami Robot

I TYPICALLY GET WHAT I PAY FOR

Frank

22:24

My torrenting and extra user may have some impact, but I can cancel (and have) the torrenting, and I still don't much better.

Chippies

I've heard that Bell (mainland) and Bell Aliant (Newfoundland) are not 100% the same company though

Frank

Only other thing I can do is punt @TrentHawkins from the 'net and try again.

Chippies

gg @ Faster than 94% of CA

and this is the lowest tier of fiber optics

Frank

@Chippies That download speed is what I'm promised.

Origami Robot

@Chippies DAT UPLOAD T_T

Frank

22:27

I'm lucky if I hit 20mbps

Chippies

@Frank are you checking with a far away server perhaps?

Origami Robot

Frank

@Chippies Nope, local server.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot dat upload

Origami Robot

THAT'S 6Mbps HIGHER ON DOWNLOAD AND 0.5 LOWER ON UPLOAD

Chippies

22:28

@Frank are you sure no one else is hogging all the bandwidth?

Frank

@Chippies It's DSL; it should be dedicated bandwidth for my connection.

Chippies

ah, DSL is shit

Frank

That's the best I've gotten in two weeks.

And neither of those is even 50% of what I'm promised.

Trent Hawkins

@Frank Feel free to punt me for 30 min for testing. I'll read a book.

Frank

Ok! Only thing on the network will be my computer.

FAE

22:31

Frank

@FAE ...I hate you.

Origami Robot

DOWN WITH @FAE

FAE

@Frank @Chippies has a better upload than I do!

Frank

@FAE Download > Upload

FAE

@Frank They upgraded us to 180Mbit down/18Mbit up from 150 down/15 up for free this summer too

Frank

22:33

@FAE And this is something that competition does. Great for the consumer!

Chippies

ugh, had to afk for a bit, got yelled at for not cutting mushrooms for stir fry >.>

FAE

@Frank Yup!

@Chippies mmmm mushrooms

Chippies

as I was saying, our DSL was 7/2 and it would rarely go above 2-3 mbit down

Origami Robot

@Chippies YOU GET EM @Jennybeans

Chippies

I blame the modem, because it would often just die or lose connection until restarted

once we switched to fiber optics (for only 5$ more), all my problems went away

Frank

22:36

Yep, killing all services barely increased the connection.

I'm still not getting even 50%.

Chippies

@FAE my mother in Latvia is getting 250/250 next week

Frank

My router only connects at 70% of promised bandwidth.

Chippies

there's also 500/500 available

FAE

@Chippies Nice! I didn't know Latvia's internet infrastructure was so good. :o

Chippies

250/250 is 13 euros, lol

Latvia is actually in top 10 of best internet infrastuctures

for 50 euros she could get 500/500

Frank

22:38

I figure I'll test for one more week, and then have a chat with their tech support.

FAE

Admittedly, I know practically nothing about Latvia. :x

Frank

Where I will suggest I will pay "up to" 50% of what I agreed to.

Chippies

@Frank try restarting the modem and see if it improves temporarily

Frank

@Chippies I refreshed my connection itself.

Had no appreciable change.

Chippies

@Frank that did nothing when I had DSL

I had to physically unplug the modem and plug it back in

Frank

22:39

@Chippies Well, I'll give it a shot.

Chippies

usually it would give me full speed for few hours

Frank

Yay. Now I can connect to the broadband link, but it won't give me an IP address.

So my connection is effectively dead right. Ow.

Right now. Stupid phone.

RPi Awesomeness

22:55

@Frank Congradulations! :D

Frank

...apparently, I killed my internet by restarting the router.

Thanks, @Chippies.

Add me to the chorus of disbelief and heartbreak over Robin Williams. One of my favorites.

Yeah, that pretty much sums up my reaction. I have no words.

FAE

23:25

@MBraedley not gonna lie, I'm kinda sitting here crying, I don't know if that's silly or not, but whatevs

user15026

@FAE Not silly.

FAE

@AshleyNunn He was like an indelible part of my childhood and such a unique personality and was so open about his struggles with depression and substance abuse and a really passionate gamer and just... I don't know, I just can't stop the tears right now.
