    Going to College as an Adult

    Surprisingly, it isn't "too" expensive as a resident of Hawaii to attend UH. Did a quick google search. https://www.collegesimply.com/colleges/hawaii/university-of-hawaii-at-manoa/price/ I can remove the housing cost because I only live around 20 minutes away from the school. Good stuff.

    Going to College as an Adult

    If you're able to do 100% of all GE classes with CLEP, what type of realistic time reduction would you be for a standard Bachelors degree? (IE: 4-years) And because the "new" students start in August, I have 7 months to tear threw CLEP and accumulate as many credits as possible ahead of time.

    Patrice O'neal on Opie & Anthony

    He died a long time ago. Just after Thanksgiving 2011. I actually went to his funeral in NYC. I really respected the guy. He was by far my favorite comic. Fortunately I saw him perform live a good 20-30 times. I would go out every time he was in or close to Philly. Even saw him perform in...

    Nice. I had never even heard of CLEP until now. And after doing a quick search, UH does accept CLEP tests. https://clep.collegeboard.org/college-credit/university-of-hawaii-honolulu-cc

    Going to College as an Adult

    Indeed. Isn't it strange that you're required to take general education classes for every degree? Why don't they have "fast track" classes that eliminate the busy work classes that won't help your chosen degree only to focus on the meat of it?

    Going to College as an Adult

    Oh yeah. I've thought about numerous other careers with easier cost of entry. Real Estate for example, and that hasn't worked out very well. But other options are Electrician or Plumber. There's the potential for great income doing that, but it's something that can beat the hell out of your...

    Going to College as an Adult

    I'm currently 38 years old. I'll be 39 the end of August. Anyway, after graduating High School, my parents told me College was a waste of time. I was working for the family business, and I always would be, so why worry about College? Anyway, a few years ago I decided to upend my life and...

    Patrice O'neal on Opie & Anthony

    This is his biggest special. It's one that came out shortly before his death. I re-watch this every few years. It's incredible. And this is audio only. They released it a little after he died. Recording from a new set he was working on.

    His first special. There's no video, just audio. This is his 2nd special. It's from HBO. The one the video in the previous post mentions.

    Finally got around to finishing Book 23 "Decisive Battle" last night. It was a good chapter, but I was pretty much expecting everything to happen already based off of hints the other books had given. There's one secret, which was the full identity of one of the older characters. All in all, I...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    I hear ya. I was in bed BEFORE midnight last night, then woke up around 6:15am this morning. I was dragging most of the day. I even took a 5-hour energy so I wouldn't fall asleep during my shift. Getting older sucks. I have no idea how Trump only requires minute amounts of sleep. I guess...

    Within 6 days? Try 2 (possibly 3). Lots of people don't even sleep when a game they want comes out.

    I just grabbed a couple Jelly Belly's that my wife picked up from Costco. The combination wasn't very pleasing. It made me think of eating one of those blue Urinal Cakes. I don't know what the combination was, but I'll be eating one at a time from now on.

    I think everyone knows Elenore has a special something. She always finds a way out of something terrible, so it's bound to be Jason that comes out with a surprise, off the wall win.

    Just finished episode 2 of Re: Zero Directors Cut. I love this show (again). It's going to be great re-watching the entire first season as a prequel for Season 2 in Spring.

    Well, FF7 was released to the PlayStation in January of '97. I was still playing Sierra's "The Realm" at that time. And yeah, EQ came out in March of '99, so that really was an amazing time to be in and/or just graduated from High School. I remember being a Telemarketer with TruGreen...

    My go-to Costco meal is chicken bake & a drink for $3.75 total. Great purchase. Still uses a paper straw... now they don't even have the straws over by the condiments. They hand one to you with the cup. Fuck this gay Earth.

    Best movie of the decade ?

    I don't ignore anyone. Strange. EDIT: Ok, somehow I had him on ignore. I've never ignored anyone, so that threw me off. You all may want to check your ignores and see if anyone is listed that shouldn't be.
