I'm moving this summer, tell me where to
May 2nd 2012, 03:48 CEST by Milan Brezovský I know this is a weak attempt to add a new topic to the front page, but why not. I'm leaving my job at the end of May. Then I want to start working on my own projects. My flatmate is moving out by the end of June, so my boring options are 1. find a new flatmate 2. move to a different apartment within Prague Or, you know, I could just try something new. Let’s say I want to spend up to 800 € per month for everything, incl. the rent. So let’s say 400 € rent, 200 € food, 200 € internet, phone, mass transit and a minimum of fun. My requirements are: - I need to be able to be there without a visa, or with an absolute minimum of paperwork. I don’t mind being there 3 months and then moving elsewhere. - I cannot stand more that 22 degrees Celsius to function. - I prefer politically stable governments, which is to say, nowhere on Earth. My candidates are: - Iceland, I could get a tiny room for like 320 €. I love the nature. I don’t mind the weather. I could hang out with Gaggle. - Scandinavia. I seem to get along well with people from there. - Poland. I haven’t done much research, but again, friendly people + the language (basics) should be relatively easy to learn. - New Zealand - although I don’t want to fly there + care about a visa. I could stay 3 months on a visitor visa. - Balkan - Serbia, Croatia, Romania? Haven’t done any research yet. In general, I would prefer English-speaking countries. UK seems too expensive and I don’t trust the political scene there; I don’t care about USA except for my friends there; Canada also seems to grow more immigrant-unfriendly, and most of other EU states are too expensive or unable to accommodate lazy ass like me who doesn’t speak anything useful but English. I might also just couchsurf around Europe for a few months to see the world and then settle down wherever I like, after experiencing the culture for myself (or just return to Prague). |

I'm just happy it runs on my 2 year old Macbook Pro so I can play in bed. Haven't tried multiplayer yet though. jjohnsen#1778 |

I'm looking for a TV series (from probably PBS), where they tell you how something/an invention came to be. The one show I watched and do somewhat remember was something like "How Air Condition was invented". All the shows were hosted by the same guy I believe. Started out I think with something about mosquitoes and malaria and blah blah blah blah 30 or 40 minutes later...and that's how AIR CONDITIONING came to be. Anyone know? Thx! Zep-- w0rd up!

Connections? Don't forget garnishes such as: Fish shaped solid waste.
|
|
It is definitely Connections and I love that series too. |
|
That is it! Thx! On net flix or anywhere by chance? Zep-- w0rd up!

Are we your google now? Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.

Yes, Zooey. |

Thanks, Gabe! Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.

Hey motherfucking Siri, I need you to remind this motherfucker that he needs to make some risotto tonight. |

I would have googled it but there wrer too many snakes on that mother fuckin plane! Zep-- w0rd up!

Turns out they are all (most) on youtube, jamesburkeweb channel. Zep-- w0rd up!
|

There's also "The Day the Universe Changed", an ancillary series by Burke. However, if you watch S1E1 of "Connections", you do get a nice creepy 911 thing going on. REMEMbER DESCENT THE HIGHEST FORM of PATRIOTiC

WTF. Seriously PSN...starting 5 days off, a wallet full of dough to buy entertaining things, and you're down? fufufufu Zep-- w0rd up!

Should have gotten an 360. <Hugin_len> Basically, cheesy doesn't have awful taste in music, he's simply very white.

Should have gotten Wii twice. Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.

The day has been saved somewhat by Uncharted 3 arriving from Gamefly. Zep-- w0rd up!

I'm going to play this game a bit differently. I'm moving and I'll tell you where. I'm moving from Whidbey Island to Port Angeles. We are moving out into the boonies a bit, but not too much. Really nice place, private and the family loves it. I'm with them on how awesome it is, but I'm a bit worried too. Because it's the boonies, I'd be a 2.5 hours commute to the nearest software development place if the virtual job were to go belly up. That's a good thing really, in that I don't want to live near a city anymore, but... it's all my safety net. I have no doubt I can get a job in any city in this country. Do I have doubts about getting another job easily while living out in the woods. So I'm little nervous about the idea. That said, I think I will do it anyway. Can't always leap with a safety net involved. And the house and the town and the people and the internet and the schools all seem MUCH better than where I am now. I could see myself living there for years and years to come (which is the point). Just, you know, it's hard to see the future.

Four Hour Work Week. Believe in yourself. Screw commuting. Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.

Alternatively, buy a used microlight. "One part disembowels me while another slowly eats its way through the gas line. As I bleed out on the floor, it reminds me that I need to buy milk." - Jibble

Good luck man! |
|
Alternatively, ditch the family, buy a used fleshlight. Zep-- w0rd up!
|
|
Good luck and I'm happy if you're happy but... Port Angeles is kind of a hole. Not so much "ooh cool, we're out in nature and away from the bustle of city life" and more backwater redneck mill town. "I hope you one day decide to smarten the fuck up so I can stand to look at your posts." - gaggle
|
|
Really? I went through there and really liked it. I don't mind some redneck, and it had a good portion of people trying to eat well (first thing we found was a csa) and more local food than anything we've had in Oak Harbor. And the google told me it has a pretty sweet farmer's market year round. We still haven't signed papers, but it's looking hopeful and wonder of wonders, the internet will be better 10m outside of Port Angeles on the side of a mountain more than it is here on Whidbey.

I once spent a summer on Camano. The best signal would be described as UHF. REMEMbER DESCENT THE HIGHEST FORM of PATRIOTiC

OH LOOK they've made a video based on a planetcrap event/meme/troll. Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.
|
|
I don't remember that one (not its connection to PC, I mean), but now that even the AV Club has decided to cover The Thick of It, it's high time you all did so as well. It's bloody brilliant, I must say. ¤ "Apple hates everyone now." - BJB
|
|
I'll make a mental note and follow through in a couple of years. I'm enjoying Community very much, maybe next I'll start with Dexter or Sherlock or something. Besides Avengers, the movie highlight of recent months was a documentary called Urbanized. Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.
|
|
Oh also I might spend July in Köszeg. Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.
|
|
Dexter was kind of a mess in this latest season. |
|
It's hard to top the superfriends season with Julia Stiles, but it's still a fun show. Although I'll admit, the twist at the end is retarded every time I see it. And that includes Fight Club. "I hope you one day decide to smarten the fuck up so I can stand to look at your posts." - gaggle
|
|
This is the season with the religious motif? Yeah it was odd, uninteresting characters and a fairly lame twist. Rather too Shyamalan-esque. |
|
Prometheus isn't bad but I bet expectations are important. I went into it not having seen trailers or knowing anything about it and came out thinking it's, we'll, not bad. But not good either. It's overall a pretty dumb movie, but I liked certain small parts enough that it made me think about the movie after leaving the cinema which I'm counting as a positive. And I didn't even mind the 3D. |
|
That's not a very good review of Prometheus...but then again it's gaggle, so let me check some other sources too...RT says 79% right now. Sounds like maybe gaggle is spot on this time? Anyone else see it? I just recently saw Snow White & The Huntsman, which was actually a good movie right until the last third where it got confused and the editing/flow went to shit. I do not recommend. "programmers talk from a very deep gnome cavern, full of gold mechanics" - wisdom from the ancients
|
|
I'm always spot on, sometimes I'm just ahead of my time. |
|
79 percent is good on RT. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

|
Prometheus wasn't bad. A little bit of a mess storywise. B or B- maybe. |
|
My biggest problem with it was that you could easily make the movie less stupid by removing scenes and not replacing them with anything. Although, after reading that thing you linked on Facebook, I think the stupid may go a lot deeper than I initially realized.

#74 by jjohnsen Prometheus wasn't bad. A little bit of a mess storywise. B or B- maybe. This. The premium for seeing it in Imax 3D was actually worth it. Scott and his cinematographer make other people working in 3D look like noobs. "One part disembowels me while another slowly eats its way through the gas line.

Prometheus stupidity spoilers. Parhelic Triangle is coming. Eventually.

I was curious how long that'd take. Just another Tom W. Chick in disguise. Zep-- w0rd up!

You deserved it. Why you gotta act the fool? BUYBUYBUY

Fuck them hivemind fools, Bob. It's like a parade of nancy boys, I just gotta be different (and real, yo!). Zep-- w0rd up!

Where's the 10 or more pages of outrage about the wanton murder is Call Of Modern Quake Warfare? I mean, seriously, 10 (or more) pages of stupid outrage over 20 seconds of video in a Tomb Raider Game? Come on. This is the generation of kids who got a ribbon for coming in last place on the midget soccer team. It's fucking ridiculous. And who gives a flying fuck how gay you are, but certainly creole Ned and the rest of the gaybos and other sexual deviants over there and at QT3 want you to know every chance they can squeeze it in. Gunpoint aint flying his damn gay flag every time he posts here, but them douchebags over there it's like every other post. I don't need to hear it everyday! It's the end of the world as we know it. Zep-- w0rd up!
|
|
Dude, I've been posting and reading QT3 for years and Broken Forum since the great exodus at the start of this year and I only know Creole Ned is gay because he mentioned it here. Years ago. And I'm pretty sure that that was just to explain his disco-afro-wearing dog avatar. |
|
You don't read enough, apparently. Zep-- w0rd up!
|

Twilight Guy, YHBT BUYBUYBUY

I had to look that acronym up, Bob. Not nice. Zep-- w0rd up!
|
|
And I didn't deserve it , Bob. I have a differing opinion that conflicted with the majority or moderator (like some other site I recall). But that is no matter, I knew he was just as much a hypocrite as Chick was, I made him prove it. My job is done there. There are a million places to post opinions on the internet, I doubt they will run out before my life ends. Zep-- w0rd up!

#81 by Wudi And who gives a flying fuck how gay you are, but certainly creole Ned and the rest of the gaybos and other sexual deviants over there and at QT3 want you to know every chance they can squeeze it in. I really don't see where you get that idea. Of course Creole Ned and Scrax and who else are going to directly or indirectly identify themselves as gay when they post in the dating threads. If you take offense to someone talking about their same-sex SO in the context of a relevant conversation, fuck you. What's someone supposed to do, lie about it and make up a name from the opposite sex for their partner just so you don't have to know someone's gay? She's probably had sex with like 4 different guys by now and has no idea who he is anymore, his face lost in a memory sea of dicks.
