That was one of the first things I tried. I appreciate the thought though.

I updated to 8.1; now my laptop changes the brightness by 25-50% every time I change windows depending on how much white space is on the screen. This is the single most infuriating thing I have ever experienced since troubleshooting EverQuest crashes after a patch. I've tried everything...

Ah yes, the classic reverse haggle. Double their asking price and hope they take pity on your retard ass. Are you sure you're really Chinese?

I wasn't living in CT. Public transportation was easy, but it's a slow, painful and expensive nightmare. If you feel otherwise you really need to travel more. Nothing like walking into a subway station that's now reversed the line / closed with no notice / changed lines just because it's the...

With the caveat that I only started drinking over the last few years, I stick to the Kirkland brand Costco bourbon and scotch. When I'm in a state that doesn't offer those heavenly steals, I prefer to stick to blends like Jameson or J&B. It's not as good as the costco kentucky bourbon, but I've...

The only thing I enjoyed about my time in New York was the totally unknown medieval museum that is somehow a part of the Met. I think it's called The Cloisters. It's part of the other museum, I think it's the met, so if you go to one you've purchased admission to both. It's a short subway...

Google flights is pretty decent but it rarely beats hipmunk. I always take southwest if they go to my destination because all the other airlines are (in my experience) pure, undiluted evil. But lately those cocksuckers at southwest have started to subcontract out to a vastly shittier company...

Yeah, I gave the guy a full month's notice, he kept two weeks rent in addition to the deposit. Before I left we set up an agreement where he would send me the deposit to my permanent address. It's not like I split in the middle of the night, he helped me pack my shit. A couple of times...

Eight mile does pass through some nice neighborhoods, this wasn't one of them. My girlfriend came to visit once and discovered that the entire neighborhood was tagged on foursquare as whitetrashville. I had a two month gig at one of the detroit medical centers and roomed with some friends...

The whole HSV1/HSV2 thing is shit they teach nurses. If you think you can get a blowjob from a chick with a cold sore and you're not going to get herpes then you're just past reasoning with. Mucous membranes are mucous membranes. In the real world you don't know, it doesn't matter and we've all...

If this thread has run its course I'm now taking suggestions on how to get my deposit back from my shady fucking white trash slumlord in Detroit. I tried to get cash in hand before leaving, but he somehow knew he had 30 days to get it back to me under the law, and surprise surprise he's now...

You have a smartphone, an ipad mini, and a work tablet?

God damn it, I really didn't need to buy any more steam games this week

Been considering getting this ASUS G75VW that was mentioned in the start of the thread. My old 300$ gateway laptop is slowly dying. It's pretty cheap now, since it's a refurbished model, but this will still be over double what I've ever spent on any electronic device. The exchange only policy...

I had a bird dog when I was a kid that would eat raw fish. She would chase perch and trout up the creek to the shallows and just go to town on 'em. Turtles, crawfish. Gave zero fucks what Phoenix's views on evolutionary adaptable diets for canines were. Dogs will eat anything, man.
