I am getting sick of this crap. There was a power outage in my town today. There was also a power outage in my town just over a month ago. Last time the power was out for nine hours. This time there was a lot of lightning and the power went out for just a second. Everything shut off and then came on again. I was in the middle of writing a post, but at least the power was not out for a long time. The lightning stopped soon after that. I thought that the power was back for the rest of the day, but I guess I was wrong. A little bit later, the power shuts off when I am surfing gamingvoid again. I am thinking it will be okay and the power will come right back on, but I was wrong. I got pissed, played some basketball, rode my dirtbike, and cleaned up my dirtbike track a little bit. Then I came inside and the power was finally back on. It is just a pain in the ass because the power usually goes off at the worst possible times. Does this crap happen in your neighborhood?

the power here tends to get the "hiccups" every now & then...
I solved the problem though...
I got an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) for this comp...
it's basically a backup battery that doubles as a surge protector...
but when the lights go out my comp still has 45 min of power, so if I'm in the middle of something I can usually finish it & then shut the comp down properly...

I should think about getting one of them. How much do they cost?
I thnk I should also invest in a flashlight. That could be helpful during these power outages.

I think getting your fat ass out of your house and getting excercise during these power outages would be helpful.

I am not fat. I am actually what people would call thin. you can see my six pack. lol But you really can if I make my muscle.
I have a life and I do a lot of stuff. I rode my bike today and I mowed the lawn. I also went shopping with my mom.

Why would TMaC wanna go outside when it's raining, and lightning? Last time I checked water conducts electricity.

Scuba got you there, Nikot (Tokin).
I know you are skinnier, ZBomber. I don't think I would want to be that skinny though. I didn't say that I was skinny anyways; I said I was thin. There is a difference. lol

Are you saying that he wants me to die? If so, he can just dream. I am not stupid enough to do something that would kill me.

Oh, thanks Tokin, I mean Nikot. I know you mean well. I just don't understand a lot of the stuff you say. And some of the stuff is just jokes.

Once and for all, this isn't Tokin. Considering they banned my IP and username.

Ok, Nikot. Have it your way. You are just so much like Tokin in the way that you joke and the colors you use for the text in your signature.
For once you don't have to joke though. I know it is you. Nikot is Tokin spelled backwards. IP banning doesn't do anything. You can still find ways on the board.

Yeah well being best friends does that. He hooked me up with the colors for the sig.
So if I registered an account with the name CaMT I am you? Thats awesome, I never knew that. Yup, you are right about one thing though, IP Banning doesn't do anything at all. It just exists for fun and to make Asshole Admins think they can stop people whenever they want.
You don't know for sure, so don't come up with reasons that hint I am him. I have given out so many clues to it, if everyone hadn't deduced that yet I would probably spend my life hunting them for the hell of it. (And because I know they are some dumb mother fuckers.)
Good job, detective asshat. You should go get a job and solve crimes where you are actually needed.

I am happy that you noticed I did such a good job figuring it out. It was not too hard though, like you said. Please don't call me an asshat. I find it offensive. I am not your enemy, Nikot. Let's be friends or as close to it as we can. I do not like to make enemies.

Clarification...
Your IP and Username were never banned... your username was suspended. no action was taken on your IP.

I hope you got it out of your system.
