Time Warner Cable Is An Awful Company

Time Warner Cable has made me very unhappy because they make money on screwing over the customer. I have had problems with my service over the past two years and they will not admit that it is their fault, even though the technician who came out to look at my service told us there was a problem. It was a problem with their line and it has been that way for two years. When I called to talk to someone about it, they told me there was no record of the problem.

Due to no record of what they fixed, I can’t call the billing department to get a partial refund for the past two years of service. Every time it rains, we lose internet and TV service for the majority of channels. When they setup our service, they told us there wasn’t a good connection to our apartment. Instead of looking into the problem, they said it was wiring in our apartment that was the problem. It turns out that there was a slice of wire missing from a line down the street which was causing the connection problems every time it rained. I would switch to Satellite, but to get “local channels” like NESN, it would cost me an extra $40 a month to go to the next level up.

Does anyone else have problems with Time Warner Cable?


Bye-Bye Boston, Hello Portland Maine

I just got an apartment in Portland, ME with my friend Tony. The apartment is awesome and as soon as I move completely into my new place, I will take pictures and post them. Just to give a brief description about the apartment: 1 1/2 baths, washer, dryer, dishwasher, basement, 3 floors, 2 car parking, backyard where we can put my grill and lawn chairs so we can host BBQs.

I will still be paying close attention to Boston sports though. I am living down the street from the Hadlock Field where the Portland Sea Dogs play. Sea Dogs are the Double-A associate of the Boston Red Sox.

Hell Explained By A Chemistry Student

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid term.

The answer by one student was so “profound” that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle’s Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let’s look at the different religions that exist in the world today.

Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle’s Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

  1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
  2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, “It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,” and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct……leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting “Oh my God.”

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED AN A+.

Veronica Belmont tweeted about this video and I thought I would share it with others. It is a very creative video and I really enjoyed the cinematography.
