netritiouswheeeee14:27
wrstyep netritious, crazy few days for freenode14:38
netritioushow's the weather there wrst? cold and wet here16:04
wrstsame here netritious16:05
wrstsome fog freezing this morning but supposed to warm up16:05
netritiouswife asked "what about the food in the fridge if the power goes out?"16:10
netritiousI said put it in a cooler and stick it outside lol16:10
wrstha ha exactly :)16:11
wrstor just pull the car outside and put it in the back seat :)16:11
wrsthad one day I left my lunch in my truck... only problem was it didn't need to be frozen16:11
wrst-8 outside will freeze leftovers in a hurry :)16:11
netritiouslol16:12
netritiousdid you catch the superbowl wrst? I know Peyton Manning didn't16:13
wrstha ha yeah16:14
wrstthat was pretty lame16:14
wrstI actually watched it on the online feed on my laptop for the last half16:14
wrstfrom bed16:14
wrstI had an exciting superbowl sunday :)16:14
netritiouslol me too, I hung out with the family at home and ate Memphis BBQ. The /only/ reason we watched was b/c my daughter asked. Ok, begged really, for about a week. That's how non-committal I was about it.16:18
wrstha ha I love football, but hate the superbowl16:18
wrstthe conference championship games are usually the best football16:18
wrstI don't like half time shows16:18
netritiouswho do you root for wrst?16:18
wrstof course you can lock me in a room and i can watch baseball without end16:18
wrsttitans in NFL and I suppose I root for UT when it comes to college football, I'm not over committed to either16:19
wrstI'm a much larger baseball fan16:19
wrstyou netritious?16:19
netritiousIf i were to root it would be for the Bears. That was my team way way back in the day, you know, when they were winning and everyone did the Super Bowl Shuffle. ;)16:20
netritiousthat's when I got into football...was about 13 I guess.16:21
wrstyep I remember that16:21
wrstand of course the great saturday night live skits16:21
netritiousha ha yeah, brings back memories of good times ...lots of BBQ :)16:22
wrstha ha BBQ is always a good time16:22
netritiousI was lazy and bought it...didn't want to stand in the cold and check a grill.16:25
wrstI can't do it like what you buy16:26
wrstso I just don't attempt16:26
wrstand we have a pretty decent little place about a mile from us so... :)16:26
netritiousyeah, being just outside Memphis there are lots of places to pick from that are nearby.16:31
netritiousDo people still think Memphis when they think about BBQ? Or just the blues now ;)16:31
netritiousbtw twayneprice, thanks for the link about dogecoin. I think I'm just going to stick to paper money for now, and fewer graphic adapter cards. More network adapter cards instead. :)16:37
twaynepricenetritious: :)  I do wish I had got a few bitcoins when they were less pennies per coin.  :)16:42
netritiousMe too twayneprice :)16:44
wrstI'm greedy I wish I had a few hundred :)16:46
netritiousAt least we aren't the guy that mined 10,000 BTC then gave them away for pizza!17:25
twaynepriceTrue!  If you had a bunch it would be quite stressful deciding when to cash out.18:06
wrsttwayneprice: not for me... NOW! :)18:08
wrsttake the money and run!18:08
twayneprice:)  Some estimates say that it will get above $100k per bitcoin.18:09
wrstwow18:11
wrsttwayneprice: AIO wireless dropped rates today, ting dropped rates on data yesterday18:55
wrstthat aio 40 buck deal is pretty tempting18:55
twaynepricewrst: everybody's dropping prices: http://money.cnn.com/2014/02/02/news/companies/att-price/19:14
wrsteveryone but verizon ?19:14
wrstatt seemed to set everything in motion19:14
twaynepriceI thik verizon did too.19:17
twaynepricehttp://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/shop/shop-data-plans/single-line-data-plans.html19:17
wrstoh goodness19:17
wrstwell I don't trust verizon :)19:17
wrstthey raised rates so they could lower them some how19:18
wrstI have heard several people argue that the market is mature so prices are bound to be what people compete on19:18
twaynepriceMe either.  But V is the king in our are.19:34
wrstI really don't know why other than marketing19:37
wrstsprint has been fine for me19:37
wrstand according to the maps ATT should be nearly as good as verizon around here19:37
twaynepriceATT is bad.  I have that from work and I'm considering just paying for my own phone with V.  I have spotty coverage at home and I have no coverage at church 1 mile away.20:13
twaynepricewrst: do you ever fail over to V?20:13
wrsttwayneprice: rarely, have one spot on HWY 84 neary 293  that verizon doesn't work well either and I think I'm actually on US Cellualar there as I have good coverage when I "roam"20:17
wrstthat's it locally20:17
wrstI have LTE in cookeville and livingston only other issue I have is no data between sparta and mcminnville20:17
wrstbut have LTE when I get to mcminnville, voice is great, I'm guessing sprint has an agreement with veizon or us cellular there to use data off their towers or something, or may be the towers that haven't been updated yet20:18
wrstso may just be my tri-band enabled phone not working well with the towers20:18
twaynepriceI was getting ready to try ting until I saw the new V pricing.  I may still go with ting but it does make it a harder choice.20:21
wrstting updated their pricing yesterday20:23
wrstcut data and rearranged some things20:23
wrstfor me not a big difference but for a big data user20:23
wrstcould make a difference20:23
wrsttwayneprice: I was close to messing with some ATT prepaid guess there is no use in that, their maps don't look so bad20:32
twaynepriceI was thinking of ting for my wife.  A little texting, a little voice, and very little data.20:33
wrstcan't beat it for that perfect for that20:33
twaynepriceYup.  As long as it works (voice) when needed.20:34
wrstmy use would likely make more sense somewhere else maybe, but in our area I don't like not being able to roam on other carriers20:34
wrstnot that I ever need it, but that's one thing about ATT I'm guessing there's nothing for it to roam to when you don't have signal?20:34
twaynepriceNope.  No bars and absolutely no service.20:35
wrstonly gsm carrier in the area20:37
wrstbad part of being in cdma territory20:37
wrstwould love to have the fexibility of gsm phones20:37
wrstof course the nexus 5 I have that but you never know if google will keep making phones like that or not20:38
twaynepriceYup.20:40
wrstif google keeps up these type of phones I can be happy, but I should be good for 18 months or so on a phone a lot will change by then21:09
wrsttwayneprice: any ideas on good prepaid iphone for our area?21:16
twaynepricewrst: not sure.  I did see a StraightTalk 4s at Walmart.21:28
wrstyeah she has a 5 right now couldn't ever go backwards :)21:28
twaynepriceAhh.  :)  I think Net10 has one.21:33
wrsttoo many decisions... may just be easier to keep her on verizon.. not for sure21:34
twaynepriceYup.  It's painful.21:35
wrstthe bill sure is21:36
