its sad that those owls can’t adapt to new trees

their best hope is that they can weather the storm in the Olympic forest of the Washington Peninsula and then repopulate when they have to expand out

The Iron Heel by Jack London predicted it in 1908

it’s what influenced Orwell to write 1984

but do you rub it in or brush it on?

snake oil salesmen have nothing on this motherfucker

i think this bravery is worthy of a marble carving. 12 stories tall, of you pointing at the ocean

oh totally

it do be like this sometimes

it’s also stressful and funny when somebody is trying to tell you their computer problems and it seems like it’s really bad. then you go and look around and you can’t find anything wrong. and their all

hey you fixed it!

Beck’s? jfc you piece of shit, have some self respect!

Budweiser! Fucking die already!

up until Counterstrike went to 1.0, I was in the top 100 players off and on. My TFC clan hosted the first dedicated playable servers when it was released. The ladders would kill you if you jumped off them lol in the initial release.

I ran the second most popular counterstrike skins page for a few years

One week I decided to see how high I could rank in the gamespy/wql leaderboards and I peaked at 16 for the week. I got into the top 10 for the day a couple times. I remember facing most of the best players of that era. or at least the people that played on gamespy or world quake leaderboards reporting servers.

But I stopped playing and then the 1.0 version came out and my days off really took my edge off. I was never able to really get into it again. I’ve never played the latest version of it.

one time while I dropped acid and played it, I was so in the zone I had a 40+ killing streak. I never cheated but was banned from a lot of servers for dominating so much.

as a joke my friends and I would all play as teen pop stars or we’d pick silly names like mine was often “little yellow flower” lol because it would piss off the hardcore kids when we’d post screenshots of them getting crushed

yeah, it’s in it’s current place because it’s not useful otherwise

i have a Anker soundbar that has a aux plug that I use as my home server speaker

it’s got Bluetooth but I just use it with a audio cable and a usb for power

it’s years old, still kinda kicking it but the battery isn’t very long lasting anymore

i was reading earlier that this is looking more and more like ENRON style accounting and acquisition. That ended badly but it didn’t happen on a scale that NVIDIA is currently treading

if you have an REI near you, their branded stuff is usually above average and if it doesn’t hold up, you can get a refund or excange easily enough

yay breaks too often to be relied on for system updates

don’t let this type of bantering concern you

we are all just splitting hairs and knocking each other’s preferences when it is basically trivial. Like BMW and Mercedes drivers trying to one up who drives the superior German car

?!?

YOU JUST GAVE ME A CLUE!!!

NoFX nailed it with Idiots Are Taking Over

whurster is how I have heard British people say it but still, I like to draw it out. make sure all the vowels are vocalized

I have a birthday on December 2# and this echoes a conversation I had almost every year of my childhood
