Though the real answer, of course, is to go farm that dungeon. Even nerfed, spectre armor is pretty ridiculous, and the dungeon has several of the best magic drops currently in the game.

Hnn... for what it's worth, Boehner's apparently ignored the Hastert rule a few times already. What's one more, eh? Can bloody hope, anyway :-\

Obviously been awake too long. My brain just made the connection that Dragon Ball Z == Dragon Palsy.

... you know this is why nail files were invented, right?
They make it worse.

Also there aren't any in this house.

My toenails are apparently like unto knives in sharpness. I keep somehow managing to inflict bleeding wounds on my feet via passing toenail. It's somewhat disconcerting. And a little painful. Perhaps slightly unhygienic, too.

And, like. Cutting them or whatever tends to make it worse for a period of time. S'uncanny. Why must uppity hair follicles* be so good at tearing flesh?

*Or... whatever the hell that was. There's some kind of relation. I forget exactly what.

And I honestly just wish Boehner would suck it the fuck up, pass the bills with mostly Dem support, and take the Tea Party's outrage like a statesman. Someone has to die for the GOP's sins. It isn't the Tea Party at the moment and we can't let it be the nation. Boehner's the only real candidate for sacrificial lamb.
He should be thinking of the book deals! Sure, the political career would be mostly dead, but that doesn't mean he can't keep milking this crap for cash!

Ring Runner is on IndieGameStand for the next couple of days, meaning you can grab it for real cheap.

It seems to be fairly up B12's alley, what with absurdly customisable spaceships, but perhaps more arcadey than the usual fare. Give it a look?
Huh. Anyone tried this thing before? Opinions? Gamestand thing looks like an easy way to drop a fiver on the game if it's alright.

But you can take a course at a community college (that will probably transfer?) for 1/4 of the cost that will teach you the same thing.
Heeheehee. What was fun. Mine did transfer from a community college to a university. But when I slipped back into a... well, technically state college now, but functionally equivalent to a community college, but whatever. For some extra stuff. The course I took in community college didn't transfer to the one I'm in now (this is despite the one I'm in now actually being closer to the older one than the university I hit up).

It was... unpleasant. Literally the exact same course. Same everything. Didn't transfer. Whee.

Point being. If you're going that route -- I'd seriously suggest getting at least up to AA (in general education, if nothing else, to clear out pre-reqs) in a local (cheaper) college, but make damn sure wherever you're intending to transfer to (and probably your 2-5th backups) will accept whatever courses you're taking. Because sometimes they don't, and there's no standard or reliable heuristic you can use to know for sure.

... what's so hard about spelling Florida? Floor ee da. Flor. I. Da. Florida.

Flaccid state fits the geography, though. I wonder how much worse the GDP per capita (Currently 40th!) of this hellswamp will get once the economy tanks...

Yeah... yeah, the things you're not realizing. Like the fact that the computer courses in general are "Windows" courses, with a side of "Microsoft Office" tacked on. Money, honey. Money money money. Forget proficiency exams, these things usually can't even be tested out of, or avoided (even if you're in a relatively unrelated field.).

Also yeah, you still get folks that get by alright-ish that have trouble with really basic computer stuff. The classes do help them a bit.

20936
Oh yeah, another fun one, for when you hit spreadsheet functions: Max out every formula with nested functions that have absolutely no effect on the formula output. I'm particularly fond of nested NOT(NOT(...)) stuff when dealing with boolean junk.

Mud, depth, and light. S'far as I'm aware, that it's.

I'm not seeing a limitation on number of folders in a individual folder, there. You've got all the folders in the world to make art with!

20940
I am so, so sorry. Hopefully you can find tiny places here and there to make those tasks more fun. For example, did you dare blow everyone away by putting two folders inside the first one? Or perhaps a folder inside the folder inside the folder‽
Also, if you set it so the folders don't snap to the grid, you can make pictures! Smiley faces and whatnot. Similarly, when you hit spreadsheets, you can make pixel art by changing the background of varying cells. There's plenty of things to do to amuse yourself~
