Da fuq is Christmas?
The Yeti has left the building.
Can't picture myself spending over a 1000GBP+ for online storage. I get that it's 10TB for "life" but nope.
I did order a 10TB actual hdd for xmas though lol
That's insane haha, fair play if anyone buys it but that seems crazy to me, you would get 10TB for about 35 years at TH for that price, not lifetime but I suspect 10TB might be funny in 2060.

Is this @Ian_Dot_Tech racking some giveaways this Christmas?
Is this @AuroraZero? Next to Santa.
Did you know Santa Claus in Spanish is Papá Noel?
I selected the 2nd tab. But yeah pretty wild that they're treating GBP and EUR the same. That's a like ~15% diff
I thought the original guy was called Saint Nicolas?

True. The origin of the holiday is religious, Christian to be more precise. However, on LES it is not about Christianity per se; it is more about offers, deals and idling, while also spending time with the loved ones.

In my country it's "Grandpa Frost" ("Deda Mraz").

Not arguments, just thoughs:
This depends on what you use it for.
My archive including the music and films I consider worthy saving fits into 1 TB.
That's without stuff I store for family friends and some work crucials.
With that included, it fits under 1.6 TB in total!
This includes website backups and youtube video backups.
That's over 20 years of backups - and apart from the Youtube video storage, its growth is very small.
In my workshop, salvaged used parts and stuff that hasn't been used over the past two years gets thrown out.
Using that algorithm, in theory I should still have stuff piling up, but in practice, it's steady.
Similar goes for the digital stuff, IMO. Some common sense and curration go a long way. Withoug that, even 100 TB can be filled up in no time. Past a certain limit, it's a problem in terms of physical limits along with costs - space and time constraints (unless you are so rich you can take other people's time to do it for you).

Eh, no, the origin of the holiday is religious, but Pegan (Roman winter solstice, also called the Yule tradition, celebrating the birthday of the "Unconquered Sun" Sol Invictus), not Christian. The Christian church tried to make Christianity more appealing to pagans and thus changed the tradition of Winter Solstice to "Christmas".
Even the "12 days of Christmas" is originally the "12 days of Yuletide":
Yep it is another name for him. But at least in my side of the earth, we don't use to call it that way, unless in a very religious environment.
Maybe @chievo calls him San Nicolás in his land.
It looks like something some of my wife's friends would say.
I got flashbacks at the moment @root posted that.
I love drinking hot chocolate in December, even though it’s 30°C.
But my stomach doesn't like it.
I had chocolate last night.
I live in Ireland. I wish I had 30°C. I also had a hot chocolate last night, but to warm up and sleep well with this cold virus which my kids brought to me from their school.

I never liked drinking hot chocolate. Maybe cause I lived in hot areas. Personally, I prefer cold chocolate milk.
Hope you recover soon!
Milo isn't/wasn't a thing for you?
I see that old Germanic culture has similarities with east Asian culture...
DM us for private tracker invite.
Nope. Never liked hot Milo or Horlics.
I do drink iced Milo and Milo dinosaur in SG. Milo dinosaur is basically concentrated milo with milo powder on top.
Here is a picture for those who are not familier with it:

Shoot.
DM us for private tracker invite.
Wow didn't know about this. Now I want it.
I stopped drinking Milo a decade ago because it's mostly sugar, right? But maybe buying a small can won't be that bad.
We have this presentation. Do you?
Milo en sobre / Milo "envelope"? Is that right?
No, no, 20g of milo only contains 8.8g of sugar, so it is not even 50% sugar by weight (only 44% sugar)
Full details:
And some people even add condensed milk on top of that... Recipe for diabetes.
DM us for private tracker invite.
So Milo is like Ovaltine or something?
I used to add sugar when I was a child 😂
But I think my mom used to prepare one sachet of Milo (the 20 g ones) for three glasses. One sachet for me and my two siblings.
We were poor.
Well, I think we’re still poor, but not as poor as we were back in the day.
They are basically malted chocolate drinks marketed as "healthy drinks", with slightly different formula. Ovaltine is big in some countries while Milo is big in others.
DM us for private tracker invite.
Wait, you mean you dont add condensed milk to it?!?
In singapore, milo is made with a little hot water, condensed milk, milo powder, thæn ice is added to cool it down to chilly iced milo. thæn you can add more milo powder on top to convert it to a milo dinosaur.
It's the most unhealthy drink on the menu... well, i would say that if they didn't have bandong on that list...
That is a combination of sugary rose syrup and condensed milk. Not sure how much sugar it contains but it tastes sweeter thæn milo and if you drink that first, milo tastes not sweet...
Fuck Mariah Carey and her shit man!!!! Was sick of it ten years ago and it is only worse now.
The Yeti has left the building.
Been a long time since I heard the brand Ovaltine.
Nestle has pretty much taken over the market here

Consolidate and monopolize the market. That way you can recuperate the investment that you put in the acquisition by increasing the price without worrying about your competitors.

This is one of the most beautiful Christmas songs in Spanish. It always brings tears to my eyes.
There is an English version but it does not sound that powerful.
Always snowing in Yeti Land!!!

Okay, I found a can of this stuff. What ratios do I use - water:milo:condensed milk? I wanna do it right so I get the full experience.
Nice price. But is hostsailor a reputable provider?
I did not experience issues with it over this year. So far it works great and so far I recommend it.

Solid... Been using an army of their small 1G offers in NL since last year, no issues at all.
Ordered the small US one this time. Nothing special but good low-end server, like low-end servers should be for under 6/y is insane.
Been a client for ages thought. Nothing in life is certain but they probably won't go anywhere anytime soon.
Been with them for a year. Renewed a couple of weeks ago.
I'd say that was my last year's (2024) best purchase. Zero issues.
This is also why I decided to post in two threads instead of one.
Should have mentioned this earlier, but was trying to post the offer ASAP.
Just in case, I have an NVMe VPS in EU.
Besides that, the list of payment methods they accept is huge.
