Right, the Blue Snowball doesn't have a large "range" but is pretty specific about what it picks up in exchange. I tended to put mine between my keyboard and myself, for general reference. It wouldn't pick up construction noises or neighbor noises unless they literally shook the desk it was on.

I think mine has the USB type B chunky boy - which would likely be impossible to replace without ordering online. I don't think any of my other electronics use that.

None

Ach, check your local thrift stores if you need older USB cables. Some of them have literal walls of the stuff. Similarly, I just ordered two mics on auction, the M-Audio Producer and the Samson C01UPRO, those also need USB-B plugs and I think I have one of them floating around. Hoping at least one of them doesn't suck, I'd hate to have to cave and find a Blue somewhere after thinking I'd already found a good deal here, heh.

I'm going to check again, yeah.  I'd rather not pay $7 plus shipping (and time) for a dang USB cable, and the thrift store is just such a delight anyway.  Also I was rushed, last time.  They've got this huge comic section...  Not to mention I keep meaning to get some more clothes, and there's no better place.

Had some trouble finding one of those awhile back almost had to buy a printer so I could use the printer/scanner I'd already bought.

I'm sure my work wouldn't notice a few of those going missing.

... does it count as a work dream if you work in a library but you're designating underground fantasy libraries for a conquered group of dwarfs in a city builder style UI in a dream?

How legal is it to write a check for exactly zero dollars and zero cents, like will my bank get mad or something

I get letters from my college asking for donations, like the fuck happened to the 40k I'm still paying off to this day, not to mention whatever students there I'm 'supporting with my donation'

If I can't do a non-check I'm putting a single penny in the return envelope, or maybe one of those car wash/chuck-e-cheese "not cash" tokens.

As near as I can tell it would probably be fully legal. It would also probably be unwise; beyond the whole "has checking information" shtick, there's sometimes processing fees of one sort or another, or other issues.

Better to take a picture of (a copy of) your diploma (or remaining debt, or whatever) you had something poop on and mail that. Gets the point across without possibly involving banking fees.

e: single penny is a good one, though. For extra poignancy, take a heavy pair of scissors to it and mail back a part of one roughly equal to how much student loans you have remaining to pay off. Half done, they get half a penny, etc.

If I remember correctly, sending them 1 cent cost them more than you donated. Banks and credit cares "have to" take their fees as well. Usually they figure out what you did and leave you alone, but you also made the credit card companies profit, so...

Would it be morally defensible to pay Blizzard for a copy of Diablo Resurrected at this juncture? Asking for a friend.

It's me. I'm the friend.


So's my friend, who got a copy and wants me to play the co-op we never managed to set up with classic.

You have a moral obligation to attempt piracy first.

Also I'm pretty sure project diablo 2 is more fun. Bigger inventories (are they still tiny in resurected?), corruptions to gamble with endgame gear, endgame content (maps, übers are harder too), stackable runes and gems, inventory hotkeys, and only real d2 veterans playing.

If you own the original it's free to try out, i haven't played DR but I'm pretty sure PD2 is made with more love.
