Not necessarily exclusive goals!

No one said Cthulhu has to be happy about it

I'd think a machete would be against dorm policy...

... that said, if you're actually intending to crawl around those mountains there are places with pretty heavy forest/undergrowth, or at least there was in the parts I went through. So... maybe. Assuming whoever owns the land in question wouldn't skin you for messing up their beautiful trees.

Somehow I don't think the eternally soused is going to be crawling around the parts of the mountain that might actually need that, though. On the bright(?) side, if he does, there's a decent chance something ends up eating him.

Wow. I've never seen anyone get below average in every mental illness before.

Just hit it with everything but dependent, and that was only a few points over.

Which should tell everyone that test is wonky, because I'm paranoid as fuck, among other things. Test's questions just don't hit the right trigger points for it

Huh. No, wait, that's already been said. Neat? I guess? Maybe I'll try the less jovial ones...

What the fuck, vocabulary test. You'd have to be a fucking linguist to know all those friggin' words.

Lies! All you have to do is read absolute shitloads of material. It refused to submit for me, though

But I'd seen most of them, and remembered a great deal of their meanings. Context would have helped tremendously for some of it, yeah.

She added: "It's more sane than doing it drunk at a party with a stranger."

Fair point, really.

And apparently some of the proceeds are going towards building homes for the destitute.

Real WtF is the pricetag, really. I'm pretty sure they've ran auctions like that and hit lower numbers

That... that looks expensive, completely beyond my technical capabilities, a melluva' hess to clean up...

... and awesome.

But no, nothing quite that far. I don't intend to go exactly crazy. 3 gig processor, probably 4 gigs of ram so I don't have to worry about 64 bit annoyances, min 250 gig hard drive, video card that isn't utter shit. I'm not particularly ambitious. I just want something a little better than what I've been using in the past, y'know? I'd like to be able to run Magicka one of these days.

I've actually seen an offbrand running about 600 USD (including shipping and warranty and whatnot) that matches/exceeds that, but I'm pretty sure I could beat the price (or at least match it with higher quality stuff) doing to the assembly m'self. Something for the future, really.

Oh no, no MZ. There's no Yay involved. After having two HP laptops in a row I can safely say I will never buy a computer from HP This one was gifted, more or less, and the other I got secondhand from a friend (who got it from his father; the comp was a couple years old when I got my hands on it, I think.). But actually giving someone money for one of these things? Nyet.

They've been (barely) functional but unpleasant. Disassembly has been involved, in order to actually fix things.

I'll... probably be building a desktop after this one dies, I guess. Need to bite the bullet eventually, even though I really don't want to have to go through the trouble of figuring out how to comparison shop for hardware. Laptops are nice for space but the hardware is shit and cooling is a bit of a pain in the ass, especially since every bloody idiot designing them seem insistent on putting fans on the bottom of the thing.

... that sounds vile and horrific. Are your people at least merciful enough to either have a very overt option to disable that bullshit and/or have it opt-in rather than default?

Because all that on a laptop touchpad sounds like a recipe to make me throw the laptop through the nearest concrete wall.
