Technically, if he stuck prongs in both parts of the socket he wouldn't get hurt.

The hair is cool, but what happens when it's windy? That's a lot of surface area for wind to come in and jack up.

There's not many opportunities/lack thereof that I regret, but there are certainly moments where I have done richard things that I regret.

I don't exactly see how a group of people about to get seriously injured is funny but whatever.

I doubt that suppressing vomiting would do him any good in the long run.

This is a crappy situation, but if you can't go, you can't go. You'll just have to accept the fact that sometimes life will simply stuff on you.

We're not talking about the long run, we're getting through the evening. No doubt he will feel like absolute stuff tomorrow.

To stop throwing up, take a combination of Tums and a proton pump inhibitor. That will prevent your stomach from producing stomach acid and the Tums will reduce the acidity of your stomach. Then take some Tylenol (better for fevers) closer to when you leave, unless you plan on drinking, at which point take Ibuprofen because you can actually seriously damage your liver if you have alcohol and Tylenol in your system at the same time. I would also drink some coffee, but if you can't stomach it I would take Ginseng instead. Just be aware that Ginseng's half life is much shorter (1/4th) than that of caffeine so it will wear off much sooner than coffee.

Then wash your hands and try not to cough on anyone.

I wouldn't want to work at a fast food joint, but retail jobs are certainly different experiences.

The scenery at the island is beautiful, however, the last time I was there the economic state of the country looked pretty bad. Downtown Nassau is very tourist trap-y, which kind of sucks because I'd like to actually see some of the real culture there.

However I was able to see Junkanoo there once and it was very impressive, I came around mid-day when the Saxons were out.

Almost every fruit and vegetable you eat has been genetically modified and it has been going on, intentionally or inadvertently, for hundreds of years. There are virtually zero risks associated with GMOs in humans. They may affect ecosystems from cross pollination, but ultimately the product you are receiving is better.

And they might as well ban corn altogether because that has been modified continuously since the Mayans.

You've also got to remember that SSD's have limited writing times (how many times they can be edited) before they die. I think a normal SSD has around 30,000 writing times, I think?

An average SSD life is about 10 years. I'm fairly certain that you would probably replace the drive before it's lifetime was through.

Seriously, for $25 there is no reason why you should risk damaging your computer's components.

I reeeaaalllyyy hope they are not still supporting Vista.

Vista is a newer operating system so of course they will still support it.

Guys, XP is completely archaic, unless you already have it installed there is no reason to use it for anything except running legacy applications.

« on: April 08, 2014, 04:17:13 PM »

Most high end phone and laptop batteries nowadays have Lithium Polymer (LiPoly) batteries. If they were to short circuit the could potentially expand and burst, but not likely with the force required do break through the phone. They also don't have a rigid casing like Lithium Ion batteries which could help pressure build. Notice how when you Google "phones exploding" the only images you see are of older, or low end phones. A phone exploding is an extremely rare thing and no one should be worried about their phone blowing up unless you short circuit it intentionally.

« on: April 04, 2014, 02:34:01 PM »

Kaspersky Internet Security is the best by far. It can also be put on a flashdrive and function fully in the case that you can't use it normally for some reason on a computer.

I've heard some good things about Kapersky but their website is really shady looking.

I am going to be buy antivirus for several computers soon, I am currently thinking of buying Avast, but if someone can suggest a better one I might go with it.
