It was just a joke, jeez.
That was a smirking sideways look with my comment.

Probably 10-20 mps before I hit my cap (12GB/month). Then they throttle down. Throttled down I'm probably a tad above DSL speeds. No video streaming for us. I use an MP4 downloader for YouTube to watch my stuff from there that I'm looking for. Took some adjusting, but I don't really miss anything except that they block bit torrent. Other than that, I've pretty much become used to it.

And that's why I can't move out into the wilderness, like how I'd like.

I just had to figure out what my priority was. Slow internet out in the country was better for me than fast internet near a city.

Thirded. Actually, I don't want to be far from stuff + things to do. But I wouldn't mind a second house that is far.

I have always thought it would be cool to have a tail that I could control to essentially be another hand.

Also, if they came out with bionic eyes, I am 95% sure I'd sign up. 100% sure if they'd let me do one eye to start.

Meh. Is the brain seeing the hand different, or is she just getting good at using a tool? Do hockey players' brains see their feet different when they wear skates and get really good on them? Do hockey players see their limbs differently when they can do really dexterous things with their hockey stick? Etc. I think it's just getting used to, and good at an available tool. Not the brain relearning what a hand is.
