Anyone out there cut their cable cord?

[Tonitrus]

You could always ship them off to a Swiss boarding school.

[Ed Anger]

That costs money.

[Malthus]

I know if I cut cable TV, the twins would murder me in my sleep.

Aren't they eventually going to do that anyway? Parricide is a rite of passage for evil twins. 

If they can do it and get away with it, they will make you proud.

Extra points for delivering, in tandem, a tearful eulogy at your funeral. 

[Tonitrus]

That costs money.

French Foreign Legion?

[Ed Anger]

That costs money.

French Foreign Legion?

They don't need them backing them up. GOVERNMENTS WILL FALL.

Beeb, the first thing you need to do is put $1,000 in a money market account.  Or whatever a money market account is called in Canada.

On a very tangentially related note, what is the currency symbol for the loonie?

[Ed Anger]

Flannel.

[OttoVonBismarck]

They use the $.

[derspiess]

Was that a serious question, Yi?

I'd cut cable in a heart beat if not for the wife and kid. I need to look into options for letting my daughter watch children's programming through the various streaming services, I think if some of the kid shows she watches were available I could maybe swing it, I just haven't dug into it at all.

Timmy (and little Andrew) do watch some kids tv, but Timmy works the iPad like a pro and watches all sorts of things on it.

One day I'm going to have to figure out how to lock that thing down since I know what you can find on Netflix, but so far he only watches cartoons and animal documentaries.

Why's that?

$, as mentioned.  Or C$, or CAD.

[Admiral Yi]

Was that a serious question, Yi? 

Yeah.  Is it $?  C$?  I don't know.

[lustindarkness]

I once cut the cable, but it was a bitch to splice it back together without getting static

[Admiral Yi]

Why's that?

It's a little jab at Cal's wife.  She had heard on some personal finance show that the first step is to put a grand in a MM account that you only touch in emergencies.  Which is fine, but they're a two income family and Cal makes a gwilion dollars.

Depends on context.

Inside Canada, it is usually simply "$". If, in context, it is necessary to differentiate it from the US dollar, one can use either the code "CAD" or the sign "C$".
