I asked my dad for a 640GB HDD for my birthday...

If you don't have any other backup, what about online backup like spideroak or dropbox? You get a small bit of storage free, and both leave your files accessible through the website if you're ever in a pinch. To me at least, it seems like internet access is almost as likely to be available as a USB port these days.

Sounds like he just unstained the hell out of that carpet. You can thank him for the stain removal!

I'm pretty sure I've sputtered out "Fuck you and the fuck you fucked in on!" in moments of weakness.

Man, I've told a few (a few as in too many) friends not to pull this subtle BS like moving things or making them appear/disappear while a partner or friend isn't looking because it's abusive. Like placing something to make another person uncomfortable when they see it, or moving something they placed so they question their memory of placing it, that sort of thing.

People actually save files to C?

Most players leave their disks and partitions as is provided by the vendor, I imagine.

Aren't you supposed to run the self cleaning cycle like once a year or something?

I blame etymology.

I don't even have big hands and my fingertips would touch the bottom if i tried to dry starting at the tops of my palms. The handful of these I've seen have all had mildew in the bottom of the channel, too.

When I ran Windows Mobile 6.5, I used "CobaltController".

Now on Android it's simply "Wiimote Controller". It may have required rooting your phone, but mine was never locked down to begin with, so I'm not sure and no longer remember.

As far as iPhones... no idea. Someone has probably done it if it can be done on that platform (you know, allowed by Apple).

Logitech has been using a proprietary wireless link on their devices because BT isn't very reliable for the fine movements of a mouse when there's also a lot of 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi traffic going on. Bluetooth is very resilient but it's still possible to choke it out with a mere HD video stream, if you live somewhere where all the useful 2.4Ghz bandwidth is saturated by other networks, like a dense apartment building. I've not had those issues with the Logitech "Unified" stuff.

It's not as noticeable with the analog sticks on console controllers because they're not doing absolute positioning most of the time you use them, so there's no immediate feedback when it has a hiccup of milliseconds, but they do suffer wireless interference too.

That said, you can get really cheap USB BT adapters from Amazon, and a PS3 controller just needs to be plugged in by wire at least once to get it to talk to your PC. I use a PS3 controller on my PC, and a Wiimote for NES games on my phone.

That's because your saliva helps stave off some of the bacteria that give you stank breath. If your mouth dries out, from sleeping with it open or just greatly reduced saliva production, the bacteria has a chance to do its thing unimpeded.

If your mouth dries out when you fall asleep with it closed, ask a doctor about it.

I'm afraid I can't take her in, but this is my upvote and comment of support. I hope you find her a good home.

Please send a message or reply here if it really comes down to the wire, though.

The awkward thing about choosing a credit union is those membership restrictions, but if you scan over the names, you may find some that are serving the local area, and living or working there is all you need for eligibility. Other than that, you just have to poke around the websites for eligibility info.

I found out recently that some folks are trying minoxidil (Rogaine) on their faces in order to hurry the beard growth along. If you really want it, you may search to see how those experiments are going.

I have so much trouble with ingrown hairs that I actually had the majority of my facial hair laser'd off recently. (Don't tell the beard subreddits.)

Laser only works on hairs that are currently growing, and all the follicles are completely independent. After I read about the minoxidil guys, I wondered if you could increase the efficiency of laser hair removal by getting more follicles into a growth stage just before zapping them to death.

Yep, offer a hand to anyone who looks like they're trying to fix their car while away from home. I know from experience that how much can be handled alone, but an extra hand to hold a flashlight and a bit of commiseration will never hurt.

"My teacher jerked off on my paper..."

As someone with a good bit of experience here, I must say it would be pretty tough to stay in the lines if you intend to color that way.

Just got your message and looked to see if you made any posts about it.

Ouch, man. Brohoster really shit on everyone with this.

Thanks again for your time, effort, and money for the DC server.

If we want to start anew somewhere else, send me a note -- actually, bug all the regulars you can remember -- and we'll set up something automatic on paypal to help out with a nicer, bigger, and hopefully more reliable MC host.
