nikki: 8 oz., one sec, i hva a measuring cup with metric
nikki
fluid ounces?
yllona
nikki: yes. ~1/4 liter
nikki
hmm... more than I was expecting
yllona
1 cup == .24 liter
.2365 liter if you want to be more exact
nikki
my measuring jugs aren't that accurate :P
thanks though
yllona
you're welcome
Muzzz
aCiD2: sure
CatCat is following one recipe witouth eggs

brianfreud
hehe, he's the one having fun trying to break your new version of the site!
yllona
brianfreud: do you still live in great white north?
brianfreud
yep, still here in Buffalo
yllona
we're affected by the power outaage in the northeast?
brianfreud
I managed to miss it, though I think Rochester have some outages
yllona
ah. i can't imagine a power outage in that kind of extreme winter weather
brianfreud
with a quite nice and warm 34 degrees (wind chill) outside
kind of nice, actually - been down around 14 F lately
yllona
yikes... i'll quit bitching about the 48F low here this morning
i still laugh about the time you mentioned that your shampoo had frozen in the bathroom :)
aCiD2
yllona: 48F low, pfft, that's laughable
we've had 28F :)
yllona
ouch.
aCiD2
the canal is frozen over
well, has been for the last week, maybe 2
yllona
wow.
brianfreud
hehe, yep, though I have heat - that such as my lousy furnace can produce - this winter :)
aCiD2
it's funny watching the ducks run accross it :)
yllona
aCiD2: do they slip and slide across? just curious
aCiD2
yup :)
well, people throw bread for them, they fly over and when they land the skate accross the ice and miss the bread
drsaunde
bread isn't exactly good for ducks...not unless its completely dry/stale
yllona
brianfreud: i had oil-filled ceramic heaters when i lived in SF Bay to supplement central hat. have you tried them? work really well and keep the heating bill down too.
*central heat
brianfreud
yep, I've used them in the past - have a large ceramic space heater atm, not oil-based though
drsaunde
why is the cold so bad? I'm farther north than you guys and I have my window open and i'm sitting beside that open window :-)
brianfreud
I get the lake effect
comes straight at my area from up in Alberta
yllona
i like the oil-filled. doesn't dry the air out. with central heat and forced air, i also have to use a humidifier
brianfreud
I've noticed St Catherines tends to be 5-10 degress warmer than here much of the time too
MClemo
hi there brianfreud!
brianfreud
hi MClemo :)
yllona
drsaunde: all my windows are open too. i can't stand being in roo or house with all the windows closed
MClemo
finally back?
brianfreud
yup
MClemo
nice
brianfreud
yllona: back in Maryland, I was the same way - here that would be rather suicidal though
drsaunde
its up to a balmy 4 celcius here...practically summer
brianfreud
lol, had a minor blizzard here yesterday :P
zeno__
zeno__ is now known as zeno
nikki
48F low? pffft. it was that at 4am the other day so I opened the window 'cause it wasn't cold outside :P
yllona
nikki: for los angeles, 48F is pretty cold, considering that it was 80F two days last week. :P
nikki
you're just spoilt by the hot weather there :P
yllona
yep. it's true tho, your blood really does thin out. i had dinner last week with two people originally from NYC years ago, and they were more bundled than I was :P
CatCat laughs at you all as he got -11 this week
CatCat
celcius that is
thats 12 or so Fahrenheit
warp
good posts on automods Muzzz.
Muzzz
Heh
Thanks
nikki
I'm not sure how low it got here, I just remember thinking "holy crap" at how warm it was at 4am
yllona orders two oil-filled ceramic heaters from AMZN
CatCat
ja jøss
8 degrees pluss is hot
brianfreud
Muzzz: agreed, was def worth saying
CatCat
yllona: isnt it cheaper to buy that in an elecrical shop?
nikki
normally when I open the window in the middle of the night it's like the bloody arctic outside in comparison
CatCat
yes
brianfreud tries to remember how to convert F to C
nikki
google
CatCat
brianfreud: google
ah
nikki prods BrianFreud repeatedly with some pmsgs
yllona
CatCat: or someplace like walmart yes. but AMZN has a very wide selection, plus free shipping
CatCat
still, a hassle, as you have to wait for it
yllona
brianfreud: 9/5C + 32F
nikki
wasn't there a guy called jim or something who was supposed to be having the official last say on style stuff?
CatCat
i thoguht that was panda
yllona
CatCat: 2 day delivery. otherwise i'd have to drive all over LA looking for the right type of space heater. oil-filled ceramic heaters aren't common here (for obvious reasons)
