Or you can let the dude just buy what he likes and learn from his mistakes. I like express shirts, especially for more casual wear. I've worn other brands and they all have things that nag me about them.

No need to go and type out a novel to explain to someone why he should return the thing he likes. Do people know they can get higher end stuff? Yes. Do they care? No. Why? Because it's not Beats by Dre.

Edit: I get upset when I see my friends buying AMD chips because it has sixteen cores or whatever, when they're never going to need anything of the sort, but I don't go off on them to that degree.

Uniqlo just opened up in the area, so we went today and picked up some stuff. No pictures, but I got two of their Supima shirts in Orange and Purple, and a pair of their Airism Boxer Briefs. I need to go back and pick up some of their selvedge jeans. Grand opening sale, and all that.

Jubeat is awesome, I cannot believe that you are going to BUILD a Jubeat machine, how is that even going to work?

It's one super long monitor that sticks up through the cabinet there. The DAO or whatever it is hooks up and is mapped to different keyboard buttons. I believe it's

code:

1 2 3 4

You map the panels to the keys and then go from there.

They only had touchscreens for Jubeat, but since then controllers have been released.

I've been dying to make a SV controller for a while, but can't afford the parts. It's nice to see it running on a poo poo hp machine though.

Isn't it kind of customary to show up to a job interview with a resume in hand, even if they already have one?

That's what I was always taught. Always show up with multiple copies of your resume ready for any extra interviewers to go over. Even if they don't need one, you're showing you're prepared for a bad scenario.

I use some sort of fancy paper just in case they do want one of my copies, so that way it stands out among a crowd of boring laserjet paper.

Fake it til you make it.

My literal seconds of looking at the tokyo milk website have not provided me with an answer so I'll ask here, do they do men's scents? I'm looking for a new cologne.

Most fragrances can be pretty unisex, as everyone's body chemistry brings out different notes, and everyone's scent of smell brings recognizes different notes. My best suggestion is to just go to a Sephora, grab a few of them and look at what scents it has. Spray it on a test strip and give it a few seconds, then waft it to see if you enjoy the smell. If you enjoy it, ask them for a sample and they'll fill a small plastic sampler up for you.

It was between the superstars and the flux for me, but the Flux was out of my size at the store I was in. They're a much softer feel and wrap closer to your feet, but I couldn't get them, so I just also grabbed some shoe inserts to help with my flatfootedness.

It's still over coax and speeds are only measured to your local hub, not to mention it's not synchronous with the upstream since they haven't fixed their problem with docsis 3.1 still being filtered hard by the old equipment.

The cassettes I've got are mostly vaporwave/future funk artists. All of the purchases include the mp3 files for you to have in high bitrate, but part of the art behind it, i'm guessing, comes from releasing having the imperfections of a cassette tape.

The Moe Shop cassette was a limited of 500, when I got it there were 50 left.

Saw a few copies of Lust from Meishi Smile left for sale, this album helped me get through some tough times when I moved to NYC, so it's nice to have a hard copy of it.

It really has little to do with Sailor Moon outside of maybe a few voice clips from the Japanese version, otherwise it's some solid future funk and a good investment as these small printings only seem to hold or go up in value.

Kept the rebuild under 2k, too. Got an insane deal on the video card, open-box. Everything sourced from Micro Center, so got the Ryzen 7 3800x and x570 motherboard as a bundle, dropping the price an additional 50 bucks. Price Matched the cooler with Amazon and had a 5% off coupon.

Won't need to upgrade for another few years, going to go back next weekend and get the same, or similar parts, for my partner's rebuild.
