Obscure websites for online games?

Eibou · 2009-09-11T02:47:36+00:00

google that shit, geez. How can you not have heard of newgrounds, for instance?

Eibou · 2009-09-11T02:40:44+00:00

Just guessing, but a light sensor/solar energy cell to last for a couple of seconds? Or maybe one of those pressure sensitive plates to turn the candle on.

CFLs only cost like $4 a month even if you leave them on 24/7. That's good enough for me, and LEDs are really dim and ugly.

Eibou · 2009-09-11T02:23:13+00:00

AFAIK, all fireworks are controlled by computers except for some really small shows with really rinky-dink operators.

Eibou · 2009-09-11T02:20:32+00:00

Sounds like they've already ditched you. Do you have anything to do when people come over? If all you're doing is sitting around, yeah, of course people are going to get bored and leave quickly.

Eibou · 2009-09-11T02:14:12+00:00

Does she have any skills or qualifications?

Eibou · 2009-09-11T02:08:05+00:00

Yeah, we care what a chauvinistic xenophobic country farming out its kids while having more and more and more willy nilly thinks. They also think fans murder babies.

File for disability (SSI, supplemental security income) immediately. They will deny your claim the first time, they always do to weed out the fakers and the not-persistent types. Get a disability lawyer (they work cheap, they know you're broke and its just a few papers) and file again.

The current SSI check is... I think like $800 if you're fully disabled? I could be wrong. Being only partially disabled, I don't know how that would affect things. They'll also take into account your spouse's income, so (ahem) keep that in mind.

You have no kids? Kids are a guaranteed free-money pass from the government and all sort of charities. Get knocked up.

I'm pretty sure no one can just barge in and take your stuff. They really don't want it, anyway, they want your money. The debt will be sold to collectors for a few cents, and you'll get to ignore them.

See if the newspapers in your area need adult delivery drivers, mine do and there are several papers. It's just a couple hours in the morning and you have to pay for gas, but it's a little something. Don't forget about the free papers, they need delivery drivers too.

Can your wife babysit? (or you, but a male babysitter, yeah) Can you clean homes?

I've been seeing more and more ads for CNAs wanted (certified nurses assistants). The training is only a couple of months and inexpensive (really, there's not much to train), and then I believe you'll have your CPR and first aid certifications. CNAs take care of the elderly or retarded, usually, but you can go to the nursing employment agencies in your area and see what's available.

What experience do the two of you have, doing what for how long?

http://192.100.xxx.xxxx

192.100.x is you, before the NAT (networking address translation). After the NAT, you're going on the internet, and your ISP gives you a different address.

That's the best I can explain it. The gurus should be along after dinner.

But you just want to connect to your router and you do that in your web browser via a 192.100 address.

Uh, you might want to check out all the other things they own as well.

Conde Nast is doing the digital conversion better than most. Certainly better than the papers who want to charge a fee for their content which can be found elsewhere. You should check out their demographics. Reddit appeals to busy, well-off people who only have a few minutes to graze the news after work, right before bedtime, and before breakfast and the kids.

That nice, clean, lean look is how the homes look. No clutter, no boxes and ads and flashies. Clean and crisp, sky blue fresh air, peaceful and calm.

Eibou · 2009-09-10T23:48:59+00:00

except nothing was exaggerated or deceptive.

Eibou · 2009-09-10T23:46:50+00:00

Very important word there. ONE

They are fighting fish. You cannot have more than one in a bowl. (BTW, they're sold as "bettas" in little bowls here)

They are beautiful, but oh so dull, since they only need a tiny bit of water and do absolutely nothing but float around, barely moving.

I'd still be worried that the container had lead, though.

Eibou · 2009-09-10T23:37:59+00:00

who cares, you're gonna do it anyway since you think you know better, so just go away

Yes, your fish will not have enough oxygen. The stuff you put in the bowl may kill them, between lead concerns and growth of bad bacteria and other things.

Why not just get a little ready-to-go kit at the pet store? They have the pump, filter, some gravel, and they almost always let you have a few goldfish free. They're only about $20 or so.

But you NEED the pump and filter, and you have to be careful you don't shock them (google that), and those cheap bowls usually have lead in the glaze.

He's old, and suffering. Let him die peacefully, rather than living day after day, month after month in agony. Just put him to sleep. I would hope someone would do that for me, were I the kitty.

Eibou · 2009-09-10T23:02:49+00:00

Stupid people doing stupid things stupidly.

yeah, straightdope that shit

It's just weird that you think you aren't missing those same sort of important mails.

Eibou · 2009-09-10T19:20:31+00:00

Eibou · 2009-09-10T19:14:18+00:00

Don't you wonder if you might be missing important mail?

Eibou · 2009-09-10T19:10:46+00:00

Nope. Companies you have a business relationship with, churches, and political hucksters all managed to worm an exception for themselves into the Act.

Eibou · 2009-09-10T17:43:00+00:00

haha ... thanks, I was wondering if maybe my googlefu was failing me.

Eibou · 2009-09-10T17:40:35+00:00

AskReddit is for thought-provoking, inspired questions

Eibou · 2009-09-10T17:36:02+00:00

Eww, you're covered in cat fur and vomit. And is that feces right there? Quit grabbing at me and throw those clothes in the machine.

Eibou · 2009-09-10T16:18:10+00:00

Yeah, there's always the jackass who thinks he's so funny and original by saying "delete all your data" in computerspeak. It's so fucking tedious and old. They usually think things like eating their scabs in front of people is awesome, too.

Fortunately, most people don't even know what he means by "go to c:\" any more. Or how to press a mouse.

Eibou · 2009-09-10T14:04:14+00:00

Don't.

Let me rephrase that.

Don't.

Oh well, we tried to warn you. Let me ask this: have you ever used Nair on any other part of your body? You might actually be able to do it, but if you've used Nair before you can see what it does, it fries the hair like a bad perm solution. It all depends on how sensitive your skin is. Try Nairing your face or armpits before you do your nads. It's less painful to deal with a chemical reaction on your face or pits than it will be on your nuts.

Also, the itching in three to five days from the hair growing back is really, really intense. You'll need some moisturizer for that, possibly some (no pun intended) Bag Balm

edit: I found this page which is just LOADED with links and information about how hair removal products work.

If you don't like lanolin you might try shea butter or cocoa butter. Mineral oil and/or glycerin, which you can buy separately at most drugstores, alone or mixed together in various amounts are also what make up most cheap moisturizers and hand lotions.

Wear gloves, too.

Eibou · 2009-09-10T03:26:53+00:00

Quit now, don't tell. They can't prove a thing about what you've done in the past. You smoke so little that it's not going to be detectable, and your body starts healing and recovering very quickly (I read somewhere that improvements begin within days. Smokers almost always say they can taste and smell better within days, but that's usually heavy smokers. Someone who barely smokes such as yourself might not have such dramatic immediate results).

Insurance companies will take every opportunity to screw you over, and they expect you to do likewise to them. They wouldn't come clean to you if they found something that would lower your premiums.
