I DO know how to read music, and this is clearly a cruel joke.

But to be fair, I only played brass instruments where there's just one note at a time.

In Europe on holidays, I picked up a couple pairs of earrings





These are really nice labradorite earrings I got in Amsterdam. They have a lot of blue flash, and labradorite is one of my favorite gems.



These guys are just cute cheap glass earrings, but I found them before the labradorite ones.



These I picked up at the famous Bristol Blue Glass shop. They let us watch their glass blowers work and it was amazing. Those guys blow out vases and bowls like it's nothing.

Throw out your old TV and play when you seek entertainment. Cutting the (TV) cable was the best thing I ever did in life.
Of course, now we have youtube, but at least I am no longer watching commercial interrupted garbage anymore.

How many annoying little connectors are there to hook up from the case to the motherboard nowadays?

I've been looking to do a major upgrade of my system because it's over 10 years old now and slowly dying. Hell, it's just slow. But I remember how much of a nightmare it was to connect all the lovely tiny cables to the motherboard.


EDIT: went looking for pics to illustrate what I was trying to say and found out they actually label the loving things now.




Goddamn, where was this poo poo ten years ago? I bet you don't even have to mess about with tweezers and jumpers.


If they're gonna go ahead and actually put labels on poo poo, even I can manage to chunk together a system.

I think mine was even hooked together, but it's been ages. I think they're all standard pretty much.

It's mostly standard now. To further improve things some manufacturers provide a header with the mother board that you plug all the tiny connectors into, and then plug the header into the mobo. That way you don't have to fiddle with that poo poo inside the case if you don't want to.

Alot of the ASUS motherboards come with this so you can get the fiddly stuff done outside of the case too

Don't be dumb like me and see how long you can go without wearing the lame eye protection... Thankfully for me the ball wasnt hit full speed. Did take one in the ear full speed, was odd being deaf in one ear for a few hours!

I just got a new gym membership and they have courts but I can't seem to connect with people to play with, definitely miss it.

Like many others, I bought Rocket League. it is absolutely worth the money.

I love how you unlock one cosmetic item per match even if you lose and which one you get is random. It really alleviates seeing the same cars all the time until you get into the top league.
Right now my car is electric yellow and pink, wears a mariachi hat and shits rainbows when I turbo.

Yep, get eyewear. It took a ball square to the eye to convince me that I needed them. I turned around to look at my friend's shot and it came square at my face.

The first ATX form factor case I used in 1998 had them labeled like that. Although it was a decent case. I know the case I got in 2003 had every single pin from the front USB ports labeled individually, and damned if I was going to bother hooking all those up.

Thank gently caress the usb3 spec defined a proper header connector this time around.

That said. My front ports don't seem to work right because some retard thought it'd be a good idea to put the front ports on the 3rd party USB chip that's inevitably poo poo.

It is Artis in Amsterdam and for those jealous, I paid 200 Euro total for the passes because a one time visit with the six of us would accumulate to 100 euro. Going twice is already breaking even.
That said, there is place for one more as I need to buy a 7 seater car anyway (6 seaters are rare over here). Stupid screwed up car market will have me pay 10K for a mini-van / MPV type of car that has a 100K km and is 6 years old.
