How great is alcohol's impact on muscular development? If I've been looking after my muscle tone, lately, and I drink a beer tonight, am I going to regret it?

My stepfather is keeping some Guinness in the fridge. Never had it, before.

Edit: This poo poo sucks. It tastes like booze and water. I have no desire to take another sip.

How dare you. Guinness is the best. Was it draught or stout? Regardless, you should only have it from tap.

Never seen it before. It's not quite the same can as in North America. Did it have that ball thing inside it? Did the can rattle at all? It's not the same without the nitrogen; that's why tap is better.

Full time student, part time employed - I say part time, but that really should be read as 'working my rear end off on every possible shift available' -, same goes for three of my closest colleagues who have decided to team up and get our first rental house.
We've found a small handful of rental properties available that suit all our criteria, and we're all capable of doing so financially, however we're all very nervous about how leasers are going to perceive us. I mean, as we've discovered during our hunt for a home, many leasers ask for things like references, but if you've never rented before, then what sort of references are we even supposed to give? All we've really got under our belts are employers who might have a nice thing or two to say about us.
Furthermore, what are leasers generally looking for? Is 4x 20 year old university students highly regarded as lessees or is that the kind of thing leasers are going to avoid?

I'm australian, though I'm not sure how much that effects the matter. However, if anyone else has recently been through the process of moving out for the first time, please throw information at me! Greatly appreciated.
We have our first property inspection tomorrow, not sure how to play it, should we be trying to sell ourselves as ideal lessees at the inspection?

You aren't missing anything with Guinness, even in the best of situations, optimally poured from a tap at the brewery by a leprechaun, it's still a mediocre beer.

Don't put the disc in any computer you care about until you know how it works. (even then don't cause when your gf, mom, brother whatever tries to use your computer while your away and gets frustrated and restarts they wont know)

you should be able to plug the externals into the laptop and do all drives at once with dban. I've never done more than 1 drive at a time but I'm lead to believe from things I've seen on the screen it works like this.

its an iso you burn to cd and boot from.

That's the one I was thinking of, but when I tried using it before it took several times longer than doing it directly with Vista, which makes me think it is writing over four or five times. Since I have to wipe four 1.5 tb externals that would take more than a week.

Vista took much less time, but I no longer have access to a Vista machine.

Unless there is an open file on you, the IRS does not keep tax records about you for more than 7 years. IANAL.

VVV Edit:you posted a link for business, which are a different matter. Personal tax records are different. Various family members have run into this issue when trying to figure out how to get records straight after coming back into the country, and the IRS has repsonded by saying they do not have records for things over 7 years old.

I found a building in my town that has no identifiable signage anywhere on the outside. No address lettering, no hours, no phone number, nothing. It used to be a car dealership years ago, so half the outside is glass and garage doors. Inside are a bunch of cars of various makes and model years. There's a small professionally printed sign on the inside of the glass door facing outward that says, "Vehicles are not for sale."

I'm guessing this is storage for repossessed vehicles, but I don't understand why they wouldn't be selling the contents if that were the case. There's a red '69 Camaro SS inside and if it's a repo I'm going to foam at the mouth. What the poo poo is this building?!

I noticed that a tip that I wrote onto the receipt for dinner last weekend didn't get charged. I feel like a jerk but I didn't do anything wrong except not have cash. I did pay 60 bucks in cork fees. Are those treated like tips? That would make me feel better.

Here's my stupid question:

I live in a fairly dry climate. I'm going to Hawaii for a 10 day vacation.

Since the flight is long, I'd like to bring my laptop. It's got a 8-10 hour battery so it'd be perfect. Thing is, I don't want it getting ruined. How bad is the humidity and how badly will it affect my laptop?

MY QUESION: I want to get a flat screen tv. What feature do I need to look for that will prevent DVDs from looking like they're going in fast motion? I don't know how else to describe it, but older videos look like poo poo on some flat screens and I don't want that.
