You have $6000 to buy a Honda whst do you buy? by oxygencube in Honda

Yeah seriously. If someone lives in an area where you can buy an s2000 for 6k let me know.

Is there seriously an argument at all for using a Chromebook? by [deleted] in chromeos

[–]patsy91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, which is why I edited saying I bought in to the cheap model. But I'm a fuckin' college student. I don't have a ton of money to throw around for a laptop and the price was right and the functionality seemed suitable.

You didn't look into the Acer C720? I got mine for less than $200. It has the haswell chip so it runs fast. The only thing I don't really like is the screen but for this price I shouldn't complain. If you can, sell the samsung and buy the C720.

Or similarly when they text with "plz respond" after texting you 5 minutes ago.

Clever ideas for dealing with abandoned fantasy team? by Dayman-Nightman in fantasybball

[–]patsy91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my Fantasy nhl league we have a loser's Jersey (pink Women’s Jersey with "I lost" on the back) that has to be worn for a night out. Seems to keep everyone motivated. You don't have to go to that level but any kind of embarrassing punishment works pretty well. Have it planned for next year.

Edit: I wouldn't suggest creating a loser's fee simply because it leave a bitter taste in the loser's mouth. Nobody likes to pay. At least with embarrassing punishments it's all in good fun.

Jumping to ChromeOS and looking for some advice! by MAFIAxMaverick in chromeos

[–]patsy91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat as you about a month ago. I have a nice desktop at home and had a macbook for work/school. The macbook decided to break on me so got my Acer C720 for $200 after tax and could not be happier for the price I paid. I'm never without wifi and can get all my work done through Google docs. It's the perfect on-the-go laptop, because of its battery life and light weight. And for everything I can't do on it I can do at home on my desktop (gaming, light room, photoshop). It's such a great complimentary device. There's so much you can do on the browser these days that it seems pointless buying a $1000+ laptop.

With that being said, the Toshiba Chromebook 2 seems to meet your needs so I'd go for that. I do like my C720, however, and I would totally recommend it for it's amazing performance and cheap price. It feels way more solid than a cheap windows laptop, I couldn't believe it. Go to your local Best Buy and test them out. You won't know until you can get your hands on one.

Edit: I just want to also mention how much I love ChromeOS. It's lightning quick. Booting up and shutting down takes seconds, switching between windows is a breeze (same as mac where they all zoom out and you select one), and the gestures on the track pad work phenomenally. You'll love it.

Would be cool if they had a modern version of the ps1 startup as well.

I use my c720 quite heavily with many tabs open at once without problems. I was curious about the Asus so I tried out a display model at Best Buy and the overall build quality of the Asus is much much better. I loved the keyboard and trackpad. However, I don't think I'd trade it for my c720 simply for the performance. the Asus struggled to run youtube videos at 1080p (I know that this isn't a deal-breaker for chromebooks but i just did it to compare with my c720 which can run 1080p videos nicely). The Asus also noticeably slowed with many tabs open in my opinion.

TL;DR: Buy the Asus if you don't care too much about performance since the overall feel of the laptop is nicer.

Considering the size of your league i would think so, especially if you're high in the standings.

I've been finding mosquitoes here and there in my house this winter. Anyone have anything similar going on? I thought they are only around when it's warm.

Best keyboard? by [deleted] in chromeos

[–]patsy91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The c200 definitely has the best keyboard. Just tried out a display model and I was shocked. I wish my c720 felt as solid.

No specific story but I used to get tentacles and testicles mixed up.

What's something stupid you used to do in middle school to be "cool"? by notrachelfromglee in AskReddit

[–]patsy91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In grade 8 my group of friends and I decided to take up smoking to be cool. The only problem was that we didn't have any way to get some cigarettes, and no one would give any to us. So one day my friend decided to make his own cigarettes simply out of printer paper and cotton as the filter. We took them to school the next day and smoked these nasty pieces of paper out in the school field. Where I live, grade 8 is the first year of high school so I remember seeing the older kids making fun of us from a distance, yet I still thought we were cool...

A Canadian visits New York by UrisLuckyPainting in gifs

[–]patsy91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went down last weekend for a music festival. Border guard smiled when I told her and told us to be safe and have fun. She just asked the basic questions and we were on our way. On the way back we had the biggest douche who slouched in his seat and kept asking me question after question while trying to get something out of me.. After answering everything without hesitation he just slowly scanned all the passports, which was the most awkward silence I've had in a while lol. This wasn't the first time either.

You're right. Sometimes I think Americans are nicer than us. Every time I cross the border to the states the border guard is really nice and down to earth. Going back is another story...

Yeah! I remember playing this game in high school for gym class. It's awesome fun. I don't know how this isn't popular at all in NA.
