Prime is awesome.
I wish I could say the same for UPS.

I've noticed the same thing, and the best guess I have is that, since I have cookies ratcheted way down and everything set to clear on exit, it just assumes that because I'm anonymous/firewalled, I must be in China or something.

-30C here (-40C with the wind). That's -22F/-40F for all you non-metric people. The sun rises at 8:55 am and sets at 4:55 pm.
Dante described parts of Hell as being a frozen wasteland where emotions died. He must have visited Saskatchewan at some point.[DOUBLEPOST=1386258228,1386258160][/DOUBLEPOST]

SHADDAP!
It was 79 degrees in my house, but I figured it would drop 20 degrees today and another 20 tomorrow... so I just turned my ceiling fans on... and went and drank beer at my friend's house.
In an attempt to explain "Canadian Winter" to people who had never been to Edmonton, I used to say, "If you go to Churchill Square, you'll see Satan and his three mouths eternally chewing upon Judas, Brutus and Cassius."
Basically no one understood, because who reads 700-year old poems anymore, but everyone once in a while you'd get someone who understood, and it was allll worth it.
We're less refined down here:
It's so cold that when we milk the cows we get ice cream.
You know you live in Hawaii when...it's 67 degrees out in the morning and you say to yourself that winter has arrived as you pull the blanket up because you're chilly.
Works for Florida too.
75 degrees and humid as hell today.
Last week, I had to break out my coat when the high was is the low 40's.
Fucking hate the weather down here. I WANT SNOW!

That's known here as "fucking cold" and reason to wear a full coat.
Unless that's in Celsius, in which case that's average summertime weather.
Living on the Canadian prairies for a number of years was neither bad nor good, but I decidedly do not miss it in the winter.
All hail the Okanagan! We're finally generally below freezing, but there's no snow (in town at least, the ski hills are open though for those so inclined).

It was especially odd, given that there's a street location (I forget names) where they had a fake snow cannon to bring out the "Christmas" atmosphere during the light show (it's all done up with a bazillion Christmas lights from...some old family? Something? I dunno, I clearly drink too much to still have long term memory). Problem being that the fake snow melted the real snow, leaving the "Christmassy" bit the only place not white. Heh.
The Osborne Spectacle of Lights at Disney's Hollywood Studios, it's located in the Streets of America section of the park.
Yeah, I know a little about Disney Parks.
It's probably all my fault.
No. Let's be honest here. The majority of people here are geeky white guys... and the ads are just playing the odds.
i tell all my friends and relatives you haven't seen winter until you have been in Minnesota for one. Everyone of you will bring up how much worse it is where they live. Come to Minnesota and watch it Blizzard in June then be 85 degrees the next day.
That's... that's just wrong!
My coworker is a major dog lover, and she would be very cross with me now. I just tool Ralph water retrieving when it is 34 degrees outside. He had a blast...
Most traditional Christmas songs are really depressing. The tempo is slow and draggy. A lot of the lyrics talk about missing loved ones. Right now I'm listening to Josh Groban singing The Christmas Song. He's got a great voice, but if this was in another key it would be a funeral dirge.
First Images of a Heart Injected with Liquid Metal
The image there at the top of the page is awesome. A pig's heart, but still. What I wonder is if the pig lived. The scientists think it would be safe for humans. But did it live the first time? The article doesn't say.

I want to know if the pig was still safe to eat...
