if you only knew....

I like the way you talk

well right now mine is about 15 mbps, that seems awfully slow.

I dont wanna hear it.. I have buy 2 8mbps lines @ $45ea (with discounts) and combine them in a load balancing router to 'simulate' 16mbps. Of course, its not always 16mbps and that combined rate only works for certain downloads, like torrent and speedtest.com, but the router does do a decent job of splitting different loads onto the two lines, so say I am playing xbox and the wife is watching Hulu, the router will give us each our own line. Not ideal, but works.

Heres the setup.. 2 gateways (in bridge mode) connected to the router with 2 Ethernets connecting the xbox's, and another going to the switch which feeds everything else:

And screw you guys who can get 100mps for the same or lower price!

 

[MrScaryZ]

might wanna steer clear of that soft jewelry

Yep go for the "HARD" stuff what does that mean help me soft hard this is not sounding right

Scared of thyself is the worst thing one can be scared of.

My momma always said I was never scared of anything.
I have learned a few lessons along the way because of that.

@muth
Hey Aunt Muth, where do you get your butter pecan in 200ml buckets?
How $?

 

[Midniteoyl]

Whats up with everyone not drinking for long periods of time. I stopped for close to ummm 16 years and I regret I ever stopped not the other way around.
But I also drank alot and ran into things which caused quite a mess not people though trees and umm cars and me.

I stopped drinking at home when I got married and my son was born.. I just couldnt see making my kid move the beer out of the way to grab his milk.

 

[Midniteoyl]

How do you spell that?

E N G L I S H

if you are confused by things mrscarycrazy says, you are far from alone. he makes my head hurt sometimes.

Might have something to do with the lack of punctuation.. I dunno.

You do realize that this is exactly what led to soldiers sitting in control rooms waging war by playing video games right?

Your post confused me at first. In our family "dusting" is the polite word for farting.

Funny. I have no idea how exactly this got started, but when Ethan first starting stringing words together a couple of years ago, one of the first phrases he started using consistently is when he farted...

For some reason he says... "oh my butt". So it has become the family saying whenever he is near or we are just being light hearted (rhyme not intended)

 

[InMyImage]

@Ld3441 do you have PG concerns? IMI said that he uses vodka instead of PG. Does it help to carry the flavor?

nope not me.

Just looking for some thoughts/opinions here...

Since VU Live has started I wanted to see what it was about. I have never before seen any vape type shows and was curious. Of course since I am deaf it makes things a bit more interesting.... or not. I can of course follow chat but not what anyone is saying "live" on the show. It was a bit confusing to me but I sat through it anyway trying to figure things out. I then sent a PM to Smokie asking if it were possible to caption these shows which got me nowhere.

I do know laws were passed last year (maybe the year before) that videos etc. had to have caption. I don't know if that would even apply here or what it would take to provide caption. Surely with today's technology, it wouldn't be that difficult but I could be wrong.

So my questions for you guys are... Do you think Vape Shows should have an option for captions? Would it be that difficult? Am I missing out on something or am I just as well for not knowing? LOL

 

[Whiskey]

I really am not sure, I'll ask about it once again for you Ld, see if I can get some kind of answer I'll pm you any details on it I can come up with anything.

Found the one Charmed Vapors flavor that I don't like, The Other Woman. It's described as the flavor of sun tanning lotion and that's exactly what it tastes like. Yuck. Well I liked five out of the six flavors they sent me, that's not a bad record at all.

this is just my opinion, but i don't think you are missing much. you can follow the chat off to the side, and participate if you wish. that is usually more interesting. but just marginally.

and it doesn't surprise me that your request was ignored. but i would press the issue if you are serious about wanting it.

I think it would be difficult. Unless you actually had someone taking dictation as the show went on, you'd have to use some language recognition program and unless everyone spoke very clearly, loudly and slowly, the captions would just be a jumbled mess of whatever the program determined was being said.

It is a general issue that NAD is looking into. http://nad.org/issues/technology/internet-access-and-broadband

Not sure how much extra cost it would be out of Mod Envy's pocket, for example, but that may be one reason it's currently not done.

 

[vaperature]

Ewww who would want to vape that?

Not me, lol. I didn't even bother to save what was in the tank when I changed the flavor, just dumped it down the sink, that's how much I disliked it. I don't mind coconut and guava but this is definitely that artificial kind that you get when you take a whiff of suntanning lotion.

Hmm, I get what you are saying and yea I have dealt with lots of crazy captions.
I do know there are more options now than there use to be. I have seen live captions before but I'm not sure how it was done.

and it would have to be a voice recognition program that includes lots of 4 letter words.

sometimes i use the voice recognition to text on my phone. it doesn't understand me lots of times and i get some real wonky translations.

 

[vaperature]

not to mention four or sometimes five people all speaking over each other at times. plus mod envy often has technical difficulties as it is keeping everyone online, adding to the bandwidth with captions would probably cause more shut downs than there already are.

 

[Ld3441]

Yea, I hate those phone ones. They never understand what I say.

that is quite an understatement!

Closed captioning is actually done by very highly skilled people using machines similar to ones used by court reporters.

This video by ESPN (which is captioned) should answer your questions. Also, only content that has been broadcast on TV is required to be CC'd even if it is created by a TV network as documented by the FCC

Ok... why in the hell would anyone want to even try something that tasted like sun tan lotion?

Is that like the succumbing to the urge or peer pressure of eating live bugs?

Lol, I don't know, I won the contest so I chose flavors that were unlike anything I already had. I didn't think it would LITERALLY taste like suntan lotion.

We have a large deaf community here and it was a really interesting question I know that I've just recently started using the voice recognition software that is native on my Mac book Pro and it actually does a really good job maybe something you want to look at

As an example this post back to you was done completely by voice recognition on my Mac works a hell of a lot better than a cell phone

 

[Byter]

I think I'm gonna have a whiskey night. I usually prefer Jack Daniels but am open to suggestions...?

Hi all,

Well, maybe I should have stayed out of Russ' Red Room but I can imagine couples... well you get the point. But acquiring a taste for it seems a reach

That sounds interesting.
What is this called and where can I find more info on this?
Thanks!

Yea I know google is your friend here BUT I don't want to download something and get a bunch of viruses. I'd rather go with something someone know something about.

Good night Whis
