In concern of return fraud watch out on ink. Use to be that one could return these items like most other but sometime late last year all of the major stores in my area changed their policy to ink for ink only on returns. Also concerning the return of electronics if one has enough capital to purchase say an External Hard…
Skimmed through the website a bit and read a few reviews on the book and group. Something about any group or movement which claims to hold the "truth" tends to set off my bullshit detector. Seems like a rehash of christianity to be honest but I am a bit biased and didn't read the book through it's entirety so I may be…
City of Saints and Madmen by Jeff VanderMeer. Rather interesting book set in a well thought out chaotic domain of the city known as Ambergris. His writing style reminds me of Lovecraft although the author finds a nice balance between immersive description and moving the plot along which makes it a bit easier of a read than…
Very good advise; however if you manage to get lucky enough to get a CC around the holidays (anytime between Black Friday and X-mas) you might consider upping the purchases as they're more likely to overlooked during these months
I'm sorry to hear this Dark Kaiser Redux. I had to put down our cat a few months as he had caught the feline calicivirus from strays spraying our front door. About every couple of months he'd sneeze, cough, and vomit up blood to the point that we'd come home and our apartment would look like a murder scene. We ended up…
Angryonion's mention of Abiotic Oil also reminds me of a somewhat related I read about concerning capped oil wells. The concept was that oil wells were capped whenever it was no longer deemed cost effective to drill oil from them. With the idea that this has been standard practice for years then with the increase in gas…
The earliest memory was when I was a child riding in the kids seat of a bicycle with my family. I never really factored age into the equation but maybe around 3? Slightly off topic; while I remember that as a memory I actually don't recall being conscious till around a year or so later where I was merely looking out my…
I'd like to grow up and be happy/er. Job wise however something either working within the field of Psychology/Anthropology performing research/experiments or teaching Psychology at a University level. My dream job would involve recieving a degree in Cognitive Science and working with AI but I'm still young and fickle so…
Someone's cranky. Let me spell it out for those who lack imagination. If one sees a blind man accidently grab something, be it a soda which is not their's or a breast, one it generally going to be able to get away with it seeing as how they're blind. Before you go to bed ponder that child. :)
Yeah, but it gives one more of an excuse to accidently touch them if one is blind :P I'd prefer blindness to be honest. Aside from reading to much Daredevil as a kid I'd hate not to mention I'd hate to give up music. Plus I'd have a reason to learn how to use ecolocation....course that's me reverting to my whole blind…
I'm always paranoid about my assortment of computer parts failing. I've got back ups of back ups truth be told. I don't believe I've seen any hacks for a flash drive that's already bricked though.
While I'm usually all for manipulation but associating myself with christians even for the reasons you're providing would make me feel dirty :( I have however seen the Xtian Network in action so to speak. One of my co-workers typically does computer work either for free or heavily discounted because the people in question…
Sweet find. Always love Dell cases for some reason. As with everyone else post the specs! Can't tell if it's a really old XPS or Dimension series desktop. Can't be to old though as it lacks a floppy drive. Either way, check it for dox first. Never know what you'll find :)
Just finished Count Zero by William Gibson as well as Neuromancer before that. Can't wait to get to the book store to pick up the last of his Sprawl trilogy :)
This is a question that I've pondered since I was a child. While in general I follow Chaos Theory for how the world works and decline to accept spirtual answers for how the world works without first thoroughly examining any and all possibilities the question of how existence came into being is certainly a paradoxical one.…
I'd probably rate myself as a six based on the OP's standards primarily because while I've no problem with cooking I am a bit limited in the number of dishes I know.
You seem to be jumping to conclusions MissuingMuse. I merely mentioned that he made a sort of Maltese Falcon for the US to continue with such a heavy presence in Afghanistan. No mention of withdrawal on my part.
Also I've a quote I'd like to add and while the definition of a statesman is not exclusively an altruistic politician I thought it was a rather nice quote. Mikhail Gorbachev – "What is the difference between a statesman and a politician?... A statesman does what he believes is best for his country, a politician does what…
Ah, couldn't have said it better myself. Personally I don't vote in presidental elections seeing as how to Electorial College does that for me, heh. That as well as the fact that I'm a bit lazy :P
Got rid of a bunch of bottle recently although I do still have a bottle of Tequila that's nice and shiny. On a side note I use to also take my old wine bottles, pop a taper candle in it and light it lettle the wax cover it. Pretty neat looking especially if one uses different coloured candles. I gave mine away to a friend…
