I really have no opinion on the panties thing, but I have advice on pictures!

1. Don't include your face or distinguishing birthmarks/tattoos. Also try to take your photos in an empty area with no unique furniture or paint colors.

2. Be mindful of EXIF data so that no creeps know where you live.

3. Above all, only do this if you feel truly comfortable with it! If this makes you happy, awesome. If not, it's not at all worth it. You're important!

Good luck!

Sure but there's not as much shady things as people seem to believe and you're going to be disappointed. There's almost no chance you will accidentally click on child porn but If you're really worried use something like a Tails Live CD so if you do click on it out anything else shady there won't be any traces left on your computer of what you did.

PLEASE consider this one. It’s even ergonomic.

You don't live there. I would be super annoyed if I got asked to change my nighttime routine by a visitor.

If it only mildly annoys the boyfriend, let it go and get yourself some sleep headphones. If you think he wants to say something but needs help how to do it, encourage him to write her a polite note introducing himself - and mentioning he wakes early and would she mind lowering the volume. And leave his phone number and an offer to have a cup of coffee sometime, too.

Highly recommend a dashcam. I was recently was in an accident on a two lane road that goes straight and then has a moderate turn. A driver drifted into my car as she didn't follow the curve of the turn. She hit me in my rear quarter panel, so it looked more like she was in MY blind spot and she told the insurance that I change lanes into her. Thank GOD I had my dashcam and was able show I stayed in my lane and the earlier footage actually shows her drift around a little bit, like texters do when they make an adjustment to the steering and then lose focus for a few seconds.

My cam is this A119 after it was recommended on /r/dashcam, though now they have an updated version. Also for front and rear cam the A129 Pro Duo just came out and it is in 4k video. WIll likely put that in my wifes car in a month or two.

Don't go. Or at least not with that program. I don't know where in the UK you are but a round trip flight from London to Beijing is about £400. Unless you're REALLY interested in the class you'd be taking, you could take both your girlfriend and yourself to China for less than the cost of the program. And actually have time to explore rather than being in class all day.

Link to a 3 week trip over Easter for £300.

I've got the 20.000 mAh Anker Powerbank , which I really like. Portable but with a lot of power.

Galaxy gets my vote, and if you do I recommend downloading the Nova Launcher for a different look/feel. It also lets you get cool icon packs which change how your app shortcuts look, I downloaded the long shadow icon pack.

Next time you're likely to be around this person, start recording audio on your phone in case they say anything incriminating.

If you've got an android phone, this app is really good because it has a start/stop recording widget that you can use on your phone's home screen. i.e. you just tap the app icon and it starts recording immediately.

Until then, it's your word against theirs. But if what you're saying is completely true, then this person shouldn't be working in a school.

Unreal engine is used in larger games and by a lot of the 'big' studios - so that's something to consider

I noticed that the other commenter brought up Unity's licencing cost - UE is also free for limited use, as stated on their site:

>Once you ship your game or application, you pay Epic 5% of gross revenue after the first $3,000 per product per calendar quarter. [Emphasis added]

So if you're not looking to make money then you don't have to pay royalties.

Also regarding Unity's flexibility: while I'm not a game dev I've heard that Unity is kind of a pain to extend once your projects reach a certain level of complexity, and that their scripting language is hard to integrate with other languages.

If you know what you're doing you'll be able to pick up either, but if you want something that's a little easier to learn then go with unity.

Duolingo is a free service that lets you learn a second language online. It's great because it's free so it costs nothing to try a few languages and see what you fancy. As others said, it probably makes sense to learn a language you will have a chance to use so French and Spanish are great choices for EU.

If you have any aspirations to go live in another country at any point in the future it's useful to learn a language that is spoken in your desired country, and as an added bonus the time invested in learning the language is great motivation to actually make the move.

I'm just going to say it: The reason the 24 hours fitness gym is busier is because it is better. As you say, it has more machines, for a better price so naturally more people are going to be there.

I think choose the 24 hours fitness gym, even if it means sometimes having to wait to be able to use a machine, at least it will be one you want to use.

Edit 1: I decided to graph out the costs, as a sort of linear programming problem. If you think you are going to be moving within the first 8 months, CCF is cheaper, but otherwise 24 Hours Fitness is (alot) better.

Also, consider getting an app like this for your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andrwq.recorder

You can set the audio sample rate low, so you can record for hours at a time without running out of space. Also, it has options to hide the fact that it's actually recording, so you can't tell its recording by looking at the phone, you need to go into the app itself.
You could start recording when entering a situation you're worried about in case he says inappropriate things, you'll have it on record.

By the power of the internet, I bring you a birthday dinner suggestion from over 3,000 miles away!

Fred's Famous BBQ!!!!

Everyone loves good BBQ, and hopefully you can get there before they close!

CS:GO if you want to feel like nothing's changed. Still as great as ever, though.

You can play Battlefield 4 or Titanfall for free for a while (1 week for BF4 and 48 hours for Titanfall) on Origin, too: https://www.origin.com/en-us/store/free-games/game-time

It's a 100-level course that I somehow forgot to take to fulfill my gen ed requirements so I'm just looking to get through it.

At the same time, the reviews on the former are uncommonly good. I feel like I might miss out on something.

It's tough.

Hey, I think this $40 deal is a lot more common than you realize.

http://camelcamelcamel.com/Plantronics-GameCom-780-Surround-Headset/product/B00B1KJK22

Its been at/near $50 on amazon a handful of times before... so do not let pressure on this shell shocker Newegg deal expiring pressure you into purchasing.

For checking amazon price history... http://camelcamelcamel.com

Backpack is usually your best option because it barely gets in your way as much as a hand bag plus your hands will always be free.

A good backpack with a laptop pocket and padding is the dakine campus 33 liter. You can find it on amazon for around $40. Link for the lazy[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HMDLNZ4/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_-Q3Qub1KSBZY4]

This is also the backpack I use for my Chromebook and it fits very well

My experience with WoW was basically the same as yours, except I got burnt out after Lich King. You should check out Wildstar, it's a new MMO coming out in a few weeks which is basically targeting people who've stopped playing WoW.

I participated in 3 of their beta runs and it was by far the most fun MMO I've played in a long time!

Shameless self promotion, but maybe it will inspire you. The whole idea of spelling out the name of the dance in a certain way is pretty common, but I tried to do a somewhat unique take on it. I'm a filmmaker, so I tried to incorporate that into my method of asking my girlfriend to prom/celebrating our anniversary during high school.

I'd replace your screen, honestly. Here's the comparison between the three phones.

The S7 Edge and A8 both are waterproof/dust proof and have glass backs, while the P20 is not advertised as such and has a plastic back. Both Samsung devices have access to Samsung pay. All three devices are capable of running the same OS - Oreo.

The pixel density on the S7 Edge is quite a bit higher than either of the others, with ~534ppi to 441ppi and 432ppi. The resolution on the S7 Edge is also higher than the others.

The A8 and S7 Edge both have better batteries than the P20. The S7 Edge's battery will last longer while in use.

Electronic music is a type of art, all music is, rather encompassing category, music.

I'd say try both for at least a few hours before deciding- hell, play with something like Dubstep cube and Gimp or any alternative you like- those two are free and you can just mess around those in a bit.

I'd say drawing/painting manga would be more fun to me but at least consider trying both before you make a decision. If you still can't decide you can do both, having multiple hobbies is fine.

I actually owned a very similar pair of the MEElectronic ones: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VTZPO8/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_Kje8tb0KVD1XZ

They were $27 and were great, hardly ever fell out of my ear, canceled noise well, and gave good audio.

Eventually they fell apart, I believe the hard metal wire that goes around your ear eventually began to poke out and scratch into my head/ear. Then one of the ears stopped playing audio, then both did.

This started happening after months of rough use, so I don't really blame the product, although it was annoying. Also, the pair I owned has since been discontinued, apparently, so maybe the issue has been fixed in the model you found anyway.

Up until they broke, they were great headphones.

I never owned one of the Apple headphones, but I have used them, and they seem good, but are pretty much garbage at blocking out sound.

Both are good headphones, but if I were to "make your choice," I'd take the risk and try out the MEE's. They're good in my experience, and they're not super expensive for headphones anyway.

If you plan to upgrade the graphics card in the future anyway, and you are okay with going over budget, check this out: https://slickdeals.net/f/10303620-acer-desktop-pc-intel-core-i7-6700-8gb-ddr4-1tb-hdd-4gb-radeon-rx-480-wireless-ac-3x-displayport-hdmi-win-10-679-99-free-shipping

Same ram, but ddr4 will be faster than ddr3. The CPU is much better. Here is a comparison: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-6700-vs-AMD-FX-4300/3515vs2879

The graphics card is modern and has 4x the VRAM of the one in your link.

Actually, if you wanted, you could sell the rx 480 for about $300, buy the graphics card from the pc you linked to for $60, and end up paying less total, but with an insanely better CPU and better ram/motherboard.

Don't know whether you already own the two of them or what, but if you don't, Dragon Age: Origins is currently free for Origin, here until October 14.

The Humble Bundle is pretty cool. It's currently a mobile bundle though ( https://www.humblebundle.com/ ) but they have a pretty cool Popcap bundle as their weekly sale right now ( https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly ).

Make sure you get motivated again. I have been struggling with depression myself quite a bit (still kinda am) and as far as my experience go, a positive outlook and good motivation is the key in making changes in your life.

Talk to a psychologist, start doing some sports, have some hobbies that are fun, go to Meetups (of online communities) or clubs to get to know people, whatever works for you.

For me it was the visual novel Katawa Shoujo. As weird as it sounds, but it somehow really touched my soul and made me want to change something. Whatever, sorry for that unfitting advertisement

I got some trouble about the choice ad University as well and the best advice I can give in that perspective is: Research! Read about it, talk to graduates, ask reddit, anything. Get some fresh air and fresh perspectives before making far-stretching choices as this one.

Oh, I've got two great ones! Sweet Potato Curry or Roasted Vegetable Orzo. I've made both of these several times including for guests. Either is super easy and you can adapt them with what is in season/ available. Use some Pinot Grigio in the orzo water and it's amazing

Edit: the orzo recipe calls for yogurt but I've never seen a need for it. Some Parmesan would be great but dunno if she eats cheese.

I'd personally recommend Japanese, it's fun, kinda useful and easier than Chinese. Also has a lot of resources and if you're into anime and stuff that could be a reward as well.
As Doodlebutts mentioned, they both share an alphabet, Kanji, so you'll get a bit of both whatever language you choose. (In written, not in pronounced as they are wastly different as in 山 means mountain in both but are said differently.)
Additionally, I have heard from some people that Korean is a lot easier than both Japanese and Chinese, but I don't have any experience with it.
(Edit) However, I am probably a bit biased as Japanese is the language I have interest in.

I vote Android app and using git. I took an Android development class this last semester. I initially tried the official android tutorials, and found them very frustrating. Small code snippets are given, and not well explained how they work with the other small code snippets that are given. I often had to search stackoverflow for answers to make it through the tutorial. I would recommend checking out this free class. Once you have some of the basics down for making an app, just start building something and google stuff as you go. Anyways, that is the approach that I ended up taking for learning android.

No problem!

​

If you're into Software stuff in general and have some spare time, I'd suggest doing some free online courses if you haven't already. Personally I think the Odin Project is a great place to start since you can learn a bit of everything there, but you can also get some pretty good free courses on Code Academy and even from Microsoft's learning site.

I don't think you're going to be behind by skipping out on the art class. Will you regret it? Maybe initially. I wanted to take art in high school and could never fit it in my schedule. I had regrets about for a few years. When I went to college I took a few drawing and painting courses. Drawing class I ended up hating and learning that I only like drawing for fun. But sitting in class and having to draw things you don't really want to...eh. I didn't enjoy that. Also, I don't feel I learned anything in that class that I didn't already learn from reading the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." As for painting, that was highly memorable. My professor was big on wanting people to actually paint when they left his class, so he taught things like how to make our own canvas and didn't care what we painted with (we didn't have to use a brush, we could use a stick and leaves if we wanted). We learned some basics about color theory, how to mix colors, and we had three paintings to turn in: a landscape, a portrait, and a still life. For Painting II, we had to turn in a certain number of paintings and that's it. He didn't tell you what to paint - you had to decide on your own. That was actually pretty difficult and I spent a lot of time waffling but I felt that experience was better than being spoon fed assignments. I have way more regret about not taking painting sooner in college and missing out on Painting III and Advertising Design than I ever did on missing out on high school art. Honestly, I think you'd probably learn more things that you can apply in everyday use in the digital class.

Are you planning on pursuing art or science in college?

I bought a phone specifically with a headphone jack a few years back (Moto Z4 Play, which I still love, though I should've gotten the 6gb ram model) and I honestly haven't used the headphone jack nearly as much as I was worried I might.

My headphones are bluetooth and any vehicle I'll typically drive has bluetooth.

If you're using one of those car tape deck sort of things, they have bluetooth versions of it now.

With how decent (bluetooth is still a little gremlin in my eyes) bluetooth has become nowadays, it's not too hard of a switch over anymore.

A handful of years ago I would've sided with you but nowadays, it's sort of an eh point. Bluetooth peripherals are so inexpensive now. And battery life is typically around the 12 or so hour mark and will last you all day (though, I would recommend getting bluetooth earbuds instead of a wired together pair, so you can charge one and use the other at the same time).

Anyways, sorry if it's not exactly the answer you were looking for. I was a stalwart "keep the headphone jack" kinda person a few years ago but I've sort of forgotten I even have one anymore. I do agree, it's nice to have, but the alternative has overcome its growing phase and is more than usable now.

If you have specific use cases for a headphone jack, I suppose that would be a reason to not to drop it. It ultimately depends on the peripherals you already own.

I've been wearing a mask for 7 hours a day for the last few weeks. I don't have an active job so it's OK, but definitely go for ones that wrap around your head, the ear ones can really start to hurt (you can also get or make things that you can hook the ear loops around to take the strain off of your ears).

​

The 3M Aura mask is pretty comfortable. I've been wearing an envomask, which is OK but the gasket is starting to come apart. I can buy another body (it is nice that they are replaceable) but I'm thinking about a FloMask instead. I've also heard really good things about the 3M SecureClick with the P100 filters. Stay safe! (I'm not wearing a mask for dust, but for covid protection because I have a kid who is too young to be vaccinated, and the possible long term effects of covid are really scary, I know a few people who either have long covid or no someone who does and some of them are on disability now)

Hal Leonard usually has great resources. I assume you're Canadian, since you referenced RCM, so I linked the amazon description.

Caveat, I don't teach jazz, so I can't speak from experience on this book, but they have a really good track record.

I leave my dog in a full-body harness in my back seat, with a short belt that clips into the seat-belt connector, and it seems really comfortable for him, and safe too. Much less than a crate, but I think the crate is a good idea if you can afford it!

Indeed it is. Hell, I'll give you the guide and the game itself.

Need any help, let me know.

If it is further developed. Rocket has plans to leave the dev team for the game he created before it is even finished. He said "DayZ was a fundamentally flawed concept." He will be staying on to work on it for a while longer, but I highly doubt it will be anywhere near complete when he leaves.

I think you're better off not doing it, The Last Of Us is an amazing game, but you can do a lot better for 400 bucks. You can buy the new GTX 750 TI which has better performance than the "next-gen" consoles for 100-150 dollars in the US at least. You'd be saving money on amazing Steam sales, I know things are super pricey in Australia. Installing a GTX 750 is super easy, but it might seem like a drastic change. Do you plan on gaming for some time? Consoles get outdated fast, PC's can always be upgraded. That's just my opinion though. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/149-nvidia-gtx-750-ti-unveiled-plays-titanfall-better-than-xbox-one/1100-6417813/

This site, My Fitness Pal which also has an Iphone/Android app is invaluable.

It lets you record everything you eat as well as helps you track how much you should be eating based off of energy expended. It allows you different tracking methods too. This will allow you to monitor your individual macro's and see what's going to be too much in regards to carbs... as you don't really want to go above 50grams daily for keto.

Exercise can also be lodged.

There was yesterday a flash deal of -75% on Civ 5 complete edition. And you can see that -75% the maximum ever recorded is. This value never change but the base price will drop when the game gets older.

The newest Rome: Total War is FILLED with bugs and poor AI.

Civ V- and its Gods & Kings expansion - is pretty damn amazing and if you liked the previous titles you'll get your money's worth on it.

Also you can get Civ IV + Civ V and ALL ITS EXPANSIONS for like 15 bucks at humblebundle right now:

Basically is a mental health “game” where you level up by performing various tasks. For example, I’m working on the mood power pack right now, and one of my tasks for today is to perform a self care act.

I would say that if you want access to a large library of music on the go (I'm assuming you have a smartphone), and don't want to spend time fiddling, yes.

However, there are a lot of cool alternatives. What I do personally (or at least did, I haven't had time to repair a bad power supply in my server PC) is set up a streaming media server using Subsonic. Then, with an app like Dsub for my phone, I stream all my home music and movies anywhere I like at whatever quality I like. This is a much more flexible and powerful solution, but it's a time investment to set it up, and requires a small amount of technical know-how.

That's my $.02.

I second python. Udacity has a really good intro to computer science course that is taught in python. The concepts that are taught are transferable between most languages. All the courses are free on this site, they do offer a paid version that includes tutoring. Be sure to just select the "Access course material" button for the free version.

This really is the best way for a beginner: it's free, it's simple, it lets you learn at your own pace.

I'd start with Javascript from Codecademy. You can do Javascript on your own with just a simple text editor and web browser. Nothing else needs to be installed.

Is there any place I could learn Java online for free? I found codeacademy but it doesn't offer Java. I also heard about codingbat but it is hard to navigate and there aren't very clear instructions for beginners.

No, please don't...

You could meet someone just about anywhere in your daily life.

Check out IMVU (virtual chat "game") it is fun and you get the chance to chat with different people from all over, should you get to know someone you can arrange a meeting.

You could also attend a church and meet people...

Right now buying a desktop capable of gaming is a huge pain because of the lack of readily available graphics cards. Everything is overpriced at the moment.

My girlfriend bought a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop with the 2060 graphics card and has been enjoying it a bunch. There are multiple options such as AMD graphics cards or older nvidia cards like 1660ti for cheaper. Hers is capable of running Sekiro on high with 60fps amongst other games. Might be worth looking into it, they're ~1,280

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYQUxLzKMhI

Second link is a review for the laptop with the AMD graphics card option

You probably have but I figure I'll ask anyway. Have you tried taking the key caps off and cleaning everything? Might fix some issues. If not then yeah get a keyboard. I have this one. Redragon K551 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard RGB LED Rainbow Backlit Wired Keyboard with Red Switches for Windows Gaming PC (104 Keys, Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016M91SS0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_fabc_CP1XN8NQJTD1V2A4ZFF7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Had it since 2018 and it's worked great. It's only 34 as well. I recommend it if you don't want to spend a lot on one.

Depends on the type of gaming you want to do, but this fits right in your budget with relatively good specs and a more modern graphics card:

Dell Gaming G3 15 3500, 15.6 inch FHD Non-Touch Laptop - Intel Core i7-10750H, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6, Windows 10 Home - Black (Latest Model) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089HR6CQP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_CZ58ZRZ24E1WB93QN2AB

IMO a lower teir gaming mouse is awesome. no need to spend a lot of money, but don't' cheap out too badly.

logitech g600 is pretty bad ass and only like $30-40ish

This! So much this! I lost mine at a one night stand... No regrets! It's not as big a deal as people make it out to be.

After you're done with the deed. It's time to improve yourself. I suggest the following book.

https://www.amazon.com/Models-Attract-Women-Through-Honesty/dp/1463750358

Check out the book Uprooted by Naomi Novik.

While there is a relationship that develops in the story, I find that the female protagonist maintains her sense of agency throughout. Not much drama or swooning lol. It's really well written, excellent world-building. Honestly one of the best books I've read this year.

The best camera is one that you have with you. I have an iPhone SE, and 100% I have taken better photos with my canon sx710 which has a 30x zoom and a 20 megapixel sensor, but I don't carry it around with me all the time. No phone is going to have that kind of zoom which can let you get shots of wildlife that you could never get with a phone. The newer model is under $450, https://www.amazon.com/Canon-Cameras-US-Point-Shoot/dp/B07FXXVC74/

And I'm guessing you could find one of the intervening models cheaper (I think we got ours on sale several years ago and I'm pretty sure it was under $350), but if you're not going to carry it it doesn't do you any good. Are you taking specific photography excursions or are you doing more spontaneous shots?

thanks for the feedback!

checked again today and the oster seems to be discontinued. found another one that's more boxy shaped like all the more expensive options do, has more presets and really good reviews, so I think I'm going with that one. it actually says temporarily out of stock, but when I click on the buying options it's available for $75

If the cement doesn’t work you can get ten packs of smaller cones on Amazon for about $12 and the if you lose one or if it gets blown away it’s not a huge deal. https://www.amazon.com/inch-Orange-Traffic-Cones-Activity/dp/B07BJ2VXLQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=small+traffic+cones&qid=1596386467&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExQVZCUUZINVozRkhWJmVuY3J5cHRlZE...

If you don't need it to be cold, I own several of these bottles from amazon, and they have been excellent. I live in Florida so I take a bottle of water everywhere I go all the time, I cycle, and visit theme parks quite often, and these are always great. I don't need my water ice cold though, so ymmv.

This is the skeleton tapestry

I can link the others too if you’d like, but I just searched “black and white tapestry” on Amazon

Here try this one, it's the one I use and it runs stuff like Rainbow Six at decently high graphics very well :)

I've never been to Guangzhou actually. Definitely get a VPN (my parents use Astrill but there are probably cheaper options that work fine). Everyone in China uses WeChat so you should get an account, but the government monitors messages on there so be careful about what you discuss (no politics or controversial topics). I'd recommend starting with some basic language skills just to help you get around if you won't have your translator all the time. Eat lots of Chinese food, but be careful if you have allergies. Explore!

In a word: yes.

This is not because I feel any personal malice towards you, but because to carry on with this one, so marked by many, would be an exercise in futility. I believe that you have every capacity to be a good human being, and I mean this earnestly and sincerely. Do me a favor and read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, examine your life and character plainly but without acidic passion, and commit to memory the Socratic paradox that malice is committed but through ignorance. You will find yourself and others absolved.

I wish you the best, my friend.

A set of nice bookshelf speakers, with a decent amp/receiver is going to sound exponentially better than a Bose. I realize people choose it for the convenience, reliability, and wireless capability can be important - there's nothing wrong with it, I'm not saying that. I just wanted to mention as I think some people aren't aware that there are other options. I used Bose speakers myself until I got the speakers I have now.

Just for example, I have these (hooked up to a relatively cheap audiosource amp-100 that runs about $120) and they are quite literally the best thing I have ever listened to music on. I don't know how else to describe it - the detail and clarity is almost mind blowing, especially for the price. I found them in an audiophile guide on /r/Zeos.

If you're looking at the Logitech MX Anywhere 2, you might as well check this Logitech. The extra buttons on the side might seem like much, but this is the best wireless mouse I have ever used. Extremely comfortable and I use it 90% for writing and business. The gaming side of it is just an extra plus.

Give it a thought.(:

I've never bought a sports camera, but I've heard good things about these, but such is this sub, no?

It was on sale. But the particular laptop is on sale for that price almost half the time. It's an Asus ROG from Newegg.

If you want something even better, you can get a laptop with a gtx 1060 6gb for 1,200.

If you're willing to come up to $300, I recommend this one to everyone Schwinn Men's Phocus 1400 700C Drop Bar Road Bicycle, Black, 18-Inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AWNI07K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xef7xb12CSSVP

Had it for 3 years and ride to work (6 miles) everyday. No issues

Ever consider getting a phone wallet? Example 1 2

If it was just a matter of those 2, I'd go with the Abiocn, personally. If you are willing to spend a little more, I would get this:

I use these and the sound quality is pretty insanely good for that price.

Roccat Kone Its the one I narrowed down my choices to when I first got a "good" mouse. It's simple has 2 extra mapable buttons and just feels right in your hands.

[Miracle berry tablets!] for a short amount of time anything you eat or drink will taste sweet. Anything. That can include vinegar, lemon or whatever. Its a pretty cool thing if you have friends over and stuff.(http://www.amazon.com/mberry-Miracle-Fruit-Tablets-10-Count/dp/B001LXYA5Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1451162213&sr=1-1&keywords=miracle+berry+tablets)

This Opinel Knife, such a quality knife. And that even leaves you a few extra dollars!

get a phone with a cracked screen and replace it yourself

replacing the screen on an iphone is really easy if you have the right tools. the isclack is pretty expensive (normally, it seems to be on sale on amazon) and it makes taking the screen off of iphones incredibly easy.

just know that you can't replace the screen on iphone 6's or newer (well you can, but you can't update afterwards or else your phone will be bricked)

Its fine now. That being said, don't be afraid to take steps to keep it for as long as possible if you'd feel better. Generic rogaine (Minoxidil) is only like $50 a year and will help maintain and possibly grow hair back as long as you keep using it. Propecia (Finasteride) is the most recommended drug and actually works by reversing what is happening in your body, but has some possible sex-related side effects that most young men don't want to risk. I bought rogaine for my boyfriend... I think he was too prideful to buy it himself... and it seems to have stopped the very rapid hair loss he was having.

Definitely buy your own modem (and router). A lot of cable modems can be used under multiple cable providers. Like this one. It will pay for itself about halfway through your time at that location anyways.

I would stay away from a gaming headset and get audiophile headphones. The difference in quality is phenomenal.

Examples include AKG 550s and Sennheiser 598

INTEL NUC

You'll have to add an SSD drive and memory to the kit, but these little gems deliver. We've got over 4,000 deployed now and they are by far the least problematic PC's we've ever used.

This is the case I have and it has worked fairly well for me.

And it is no problem. I'm glad I could help out.

I have them. One of the best purchases I have made, If you get them you won't regret it. Link

Fur lined Crocs??? No way.

Moccasins. I get a pair of these:

You could wear these outside for the quick trip to the store or mailbox ...no prob.

Its a hoover. I already bought it. Best buy price matched it from amazon and it works great.

Have you considered "ultimate werewolf"? it can be played in mere minutes or over several hours based on how many people you are playing, and if you are too few playing "one nigth ultimate werewolf" with the free app as narrarator (wich is on both appstore and google play) is an option too.

We had alot of fun with it atleast.

I'd suggest Cerberus, it's a security app which lets you track your phone, remote wipe it, remote access to the cameras, remote audio access, and SO MUCH more. Here's a screenshot of the dashboard when you log in to their website to track, please ignore all redactions as the app shows a lot of sensitive information, but that dropdown menu you see scrolls with more options.

It's free with IAP to unlock full features I think, I'm unsure exactly to be honest because I got it when it was free for a week.
