In my case, the guy down the road caught him red handed breaking windows on 2 of his vehicles, and he just literally drove 100m up the road to my house to continue his escapade, in plain view of the guy the just caught him.

It includes a scratchy neck and a penchant for breaking windows and doing the ol' snatch and grab routine on a regular basis as witnessed by your guy down the street. Now that you have a tweaker, you may have a few questions. feel free to see the FAQ below and if your question isn't answered, please feel free to call tweakerco. FAQ: Q: My tweaker has been up for days, what should I do? A: Nothing, eventually the lil' guy will tucker out and go to sleep for a day or so, I assure you this is perfectly normal. Q: My tweaker says he's going to get a job and get off meth. A: They all say this from time to time, just ignore it. The chances of that happening are slim to none since a user will be forever enticed by meth, retention is in the lower 90 percentile Q: My tweaker keeps wanting me to give it my toaster to make it work better. A: This is a common misconception tweakers have about fixing things. Don't give them the toaster, might we suggest going to goodwill and getting another to give to it so you can still make toast with yours tomorrow.

14 months in the new place and we just finally got all* of our books out of the garage onto bookshelves. Yeah I tore the garage apart and you can barely get in past the mess but the house feels better somehow full of books. *I'll probably get by without my university textbooks, who cares.

Goddammit, not only 3 days off for teasing sadbrains  (from the website that gave you 9/11 to Yakity Sax), but I missed 14" making a 4.0 bonfire? gently caress! Ended up building an adapter for a GM style Homelink/Compass to interface an older SAAB Ampex connector. Took one whole shielded paperclip.

As a rule of thumb I don't venture too far from AI these days, the only exceptions being DIY and Hobbies, SA Mart, and Coupons and Deals. The only time I lurk in GBS is the yearly October haunted house and December Christmas music threads. God have mercy on your soul if you post in GBS it's turned into the something reasonable forum of this board.

There's a composite cable that works with the SNES, N64, and Gamecube. There's a really expensive component cable just for Gamecube. If you don't have one, just buy an early Wii that's gamecube compatible.

Welp. Told a customer to gtfo tonight after he went off on a hillary is a secret lesbian rant and started yelling about her being a carpet muncher, etc. Now taking bets on him calling corporate and whining about his constitutional right to be a jackass like he was as he went out the store.  Edit: Relevant info, one of my coworkers who was working today is bi/gay, but it is not common knowledge amongst other employees or any customers except those that know her personally.

Raluek posted:Oh, word? I guess a surprising number of those have factory RGB capability, but all the Nintendo stuff I thought was complicated. Are you Miyamoto's RGB NES IRL? Most consoles can output RGB natively, if you know which traces to tap from the graphic chip's outputs before it gets run through the composite (or s-video) conversion. Some people get really into this stuff, there are conversions and stuff available for most consoles: http://retrorgb.com/ The NES is a special case, though. Its graphics chip (the Picture Processing Unit or PPU) actually takes data directly from the console's main memory and generates a composite NTSC/PAL signal directly from that. It's pretty neat, and very resource efficient. The PC-10 version of the NES is a bit special and actually outputs an RGB signal instead, which gives a much clearer picture with better color definition. Rhyno posted:Wasn't there a composite connector for the SNES that also worked on the NES? The NES had standard plugs for RF and composite, it never had a multi-AV port. That started with the SNES, and is compatible with the N64 and Gamecube. keykey posted:As far as I know the composite connector worked between the SNES and Gamecube, but the component cable only worked with the Gamecube. The component cable for the GC only works on first-gen units that have the digital output port. As a consequence, early machines and the official component cable are worth a lot to some people, who want the absolute best output quality, especially if you're in an NTSC region. The PAL GC can output SCART RGB on the normal analog AV port, but the NTSC GC is limited to s-video. The proper component cable was already expensive when it was new, as it contains a DAC and various other electronics to convert the digital signal back to analog component video. I've seen them go for as much as $300 on Ebay now. I've actually got an early PAL Gamecube, but I just use my Wii instead, since I don't have any of the GC-exclusive addons.

Woke up at midnight to a 7.8 magnitude earthquake a few hundred K's away, house shook a bit but no damage. 12:02am is not a good time to be considering your earthquake insurance cover when you've just bought a new brick house. It's also not a great time to consider your disaster preparedness. I live about 20-30km from the Alpine Fault which will be a big one when it goes, fortunately this wasn't it.

I've got a gamecube compatible Wii with all cables and the fixings. Even has an old hackable firmware that I never bothered with. Maybe has 3 hours use.  Make an offer. Comes with WiiFit, Nerf sports package, a couple of games, sideways mounting hardware, et al.

I had the same issue and am also a side / stomach sleeper. Finally broke down and saw a sleep specialist, got a sleep study, and surprise surprise, I have sleep apnea.
