I pay $50/mo. for 1 GB of data, unlimited calls in Canada, and unlimited texts. That is just the service. I paid $800 cash for my S5 on top of that. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Well, Canada and the USA both have a sparser population than the UK, so perhaps the infrastructure cost per person is greater? -- |

Thanks a lot to Edgar and Mark, this was an awesome Allegro meetup in Niagara falls today! Despite run-ins with police and way to hot weather... -- |

The much-hated Brussels bureaucrats will ban roaming fees in the EU in 2017. Were the police investigating your mind-control powers? |

Ah yes, the fabled American police. It seems a lot more real when I hear that someone I know to be nice in person (you Elias - maybe it was Edgar or Mark who triggered them In this country, the only time I've had the police be nasty to me was when I actually did something wrong (cycling without lights), and even then, they waived their right to fine me because at least I had a non-working front light with me and had tried to display a back light on my backpack but it was pointing down A passport control person once gave me an unhinged stare though. He looked like Jason Statham. I think it was in Germany. P.S. At least we'll be in the EU long enough to benefit from that roaming ban. [EDIT] References

Well, in Canada things like pepper spray or drinking in public are illegal - so it's easy for a group of allegro.cc members to get in trouble I think Mark will post a pictures, but Edgar requested to be photoshopped out for privacy concern reasons... -- |

Just use a Tim Hortons cup, that's how all Canadians drink in public. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Somehow I tend to imagine members as looking at least somewhat like their avatar, in Edgars case I imagined him as the guy on the left... They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

You forgot to tag the Canadian sitting on the table. Append: Shameful.

Meh. Looks like it's a time to put a picture of your face. I finally can see how Mark & Edgar look ^^ "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

I like Blue Moon, surprisingly - considering it's a wheat beer. My favorite beers are lagers, so whenever I'm not up to trying some craft I usually order Heineken. Not the best but often the closest thing they have on the menu -- |

I predominantly drink lagers, though I'm not overly versed or concerned with the type of beer. Molson Canadian is my go-to if I'm out since pubs/bars/restaurants don't carry the "cheap" stuff. If I'm in the US I revert to Budweiser or Bud Light (it's arbitrary). If I'm at a private residence (or anywhere really) I'll drink whatever is free. In my experience, the best beer is Carling (the Canadian lager variant, including its light variant if you want to get slightly less drunk by volume). Beer is best from a dark bottle. I'm not sure how common bottles are in the US, but it seems not very. Beer from a can just isn't the same, but it's better than no beer at all. But generally beer in the US is just different no matter what brand it is. I imagine the regulations very slightly. Living in a border city you can experience both readily. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Speaking of beer, does anyone else here use the Untappd app? If so, feel free to add me for recommendations. I'm LennyLen on there as well. edit: bamccaig said: Beer is best from a dark bottle. If being drunk from a bottle, then yes, dark brown bottles are the best as they cut out more light which can alter/damage the chemical structure of beer. Ideally though, drink beer on tap/draught as kegs are (usually) always fresher and eliminate light contamination altogether. Also, if the brewer has specific glasses for the beer, use them. This will ensure that the head on the beer is of the ideal size and consistency.

Would you agree that I talk to much and never shut up? Mind you there are definitely people who are worse for this than I am, not mentioning names or anything. Must catch up with that person. For the thread's sake. Yeah.
Anyway, it tasted good
