various wrestling people take to twitter to honor Macho Man - Remlik May 20, 13:50
cellphone numbers are attached to the SIM card, not the handset, correct? -- nm - znufrii May 20, 13:40 19
- Not necessarily. When setting it up, I think it asks where you wanted to save contacts to. - JaxSean May 20, 13:55 2
  - I mean the number to the phone itself, not saved contacts. -- nm - znufrii May 20, 13:58
  - Yup. He needs to check his settings. A new phone with Google Apps will back up our contacts to Gmail too. -- nm - Krusty May 20, 13:56
- Yes -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 20, 13:40
- Yep. You should be able to switch phones just by moving your SIM, so long as the phone isn't locked and works on that network. -- nm - Mop May 20, 13:40 14
  - actually considering precisely the reverse - znufrii May 20, 13:42 13
    - find out if your phone would even work there. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 13:46
    - Why not just buy a prepaid phone while there, like a spy? - Beryllium (iPhone) May 20, 13:44 11
      - or, just a phone card and use public phones. how much time is he really spending on the phone? -- nm - Andie May 20, 13:49 5
        
        don't some places have very few public phones anymore? -- nm - loosilu May 20, 13:50 4
        
        i don't mean pay phone, like, the phone in his hotel room, etc. if you are using a card there's no long distance fee. - Andie May 20, 13:52 3
        
        yeah, I would bring a netbook or itouch myself. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 13:53 2
        
        *tries to erase the second half of that post* -- nm - loosilu May 20, 13:53 1
        
        Still, it's good advice for znu -- nm - Roger More May 20, 13:55
      - or we could do that... -- nm - znufrii May 20, 13:45 4
        
        if you travel abroad a lot, buy a GSM phone and buy local sim cards when you arrive. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 13:48 2
        
        that was the initial plan. - znufrii May 20, 13:54 1
        
        I... don't know why you would do this -- nm - Roger More May 20, 13:58
        
        Given potentially different radio technologies, might be a good idea. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 20, 13:46
So, kieran has a fever (38.3c), and we're supposed to be having a freezer delivered today. - Beryllium (iPhone) May 20, 13:37 2
- you can see if the freezer works if it cools the kid down? -- nm - zeitgeist May 20, 13:39 1
  - Sounds logical, but there could be a flaw in the plan. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 20, 13:40
I just ate my last Snicker's Peanut Butter square. *curses* -- nm - JaxSean May 20, 13:31

      - All the minivans with a fish on the back a person could ever want! -- nm - crash davis May 20, 13:15 17
        
        comeon, some of them minivans are tricked out nice with dvd/sourround sound, mini bar, bun warmer seats -- nm - zeitgeist May 20, 13:20 16
        
        We should start figuring out how to make solar panels out of Veggie Tales DVDs. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 20, 13:26 10
        
        ooh, this could be a fun poll: what besides minivans and Veggie Tales dvds will there be an abundance of for the taking after the Rapture? -- nm - crash davis May 20, 13:28 9
        
        Big church lady hats! -- nm - Amy May 20, 13:39 1

        screw that, they are much too small to be effective sandbags -- nm - zeitgeist May 20, 13:40
        
        My mom has a minivan now. If I get waterboarded, i might admit it is comfortable to drive. - crash davis May 20, 13:22 4
        
        I find it ten times more comfortable to drive than an SUV. And at least a minivan is honest about what it is. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 13:32 2
        
        no, a minivan tries to pretend its not just a station wagon with a pampador, whereas a true suv is a truck - zeitgeist May 20, 13:38 1
        
        you can't just brush aside "SUVs" that are not trucks. and a minivan has NO pretense of being cooler than a station wagon. -- nm - loosilu May 20, 13:39
