What do you guys think of this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001488

Santas still going down..

Santas rising again?

How are santas doing?

Santa market is becoming a comedy. So, they're rising again?

Just as I bought a santa some days ago for 110m hoping to make some profit on my one month break :(

What's happening to santas?

It's probably not even her.

Time to profit, they'll be back where they are right now in 2 weeks :)

Then I must've been lucky yesterday, bought one at max shortly after putting in an offer Was quite soon after the GE update though

So you all think Santas are going to keep rising?

Ok guys, this is going to sound weird, but whatever. There's a girl I met on summer camp that actually goes to my school too. We're good friends, and I hope there will be more later, but we'll see. All I know right now is that we're getting along fine and I feel comfortable with her:) A while back we went to the movies, we saw Brüno, maybe a bad choice, because it's very.. ,well, gay... No problem though, we had a lot of laughs and we had great time. Yesterday she gave me a gift she told me a while ago she'd make. I'll try to describe what she made. Basically it's an A4 with a large brüno in the middle with the words (in pink) Brüno 'heart'. Anyway (not sure why I gave a complete description, but meh ) So yeah, she wanted me to put it in my agenda, which I did. Now I'm the proud owner of the probably most-gayest agenda on my school :D, which is cool, I don't really care lol :D But now she wants me to make her something too (which she can put in hers). But I have absolutely zero inspiration. Help? :(

I have a question/challenge I have this camera It's a HP Photosmart M627 However, it's not 'webcam supportable' or whatever. The camera can film though, so I was wondering.. Is there someway I could set it up as a webcam? PS; It has no video out..

I said it jokingly. They had just bought pizza for dinner as celebration, I didn't need/want anything more :lol: Oh, sorry then, but that's what the internet is for you. Gotta use [sarcasm] tags :mrgreen: Anyway, I could still use some advice on this question..

You deserve that. You shouldn't be asking your parents to give you a present because you think you deserve it

I'm going to Spain, San Vincente .. (something) this summer. 10-day surfing trip :D

Gotta learn about 250 pages for History by next week, it's already a summary.. How the hell can you learn this? Every page has lots of details on them..

I eat McDonalds 4-6 times a day(4 during summer, 6 during winter), 7 days a week. Trust me, I'd admit it if I like it, but I'm not a fan. I've never quite understood why people would eat it if It makes them sick, or if they think it makes them fat. It honestly isn't worse for you than a lot of things you would cook at home if those are the kinds of foods you like to eat. I'm technically overweight, but that's because A) I play sport for a living. (I have a part time job to cover social expenses) B) It's the off season. C) I'm apparently an alcoholic. It's perfectly reasonable to enjoy eating food that is cheap, tasty and convenient. You're overweight because you eat McD 4 to 6 times a day. That's the reason you're overweight. Stop finding excuses for that. And oh, if that's how you cook at home you really should learn to cook better/other things/healthier. Personally, I eat McD a few times a year. I have no need for it, at all. Don't see what I would be missing out on.

They don't ask me to do the work.. They just don't care about the assignment and forget about. But you're right, next time I'll tell them to do it and I won't correct the whole thing any more. Good tip :)

I had one of those when I was younger. Don't know if's exactly the same though.. It was in wood. It all came down to sliding the sides. Can't really remember what you had to do precisely.. Sorry

Maybe it isn't. I know that. But it's the principle. You need to understand though, my grades are fine, I don't have to score great points on these group assignments to pass. I could probably not study for my final exams now and still pass the year.. So this is not an issue of me passing the year or not because of this. If it were it would be a much much worse problem.. It just annoys the * out of me that some people do nothing at all and don't even show respect for the other's work. Or that they set such low standards that they're happy with a very poor text. I don't hate group work, and I know I should be with other people in groups, but the thing is that in my class, for each group assignment people almost always form the same exact groups.. I'm 17 btw

What's the use? I say no, they do nothing --> Result : we get nothing done They're not telling me to do it, they just don't plan anything at all. I don't think they're expecting the assignment be finished on the deadline.. They'll start working on the assignment when the teacher asks them on the deadline. It has happened before with individual projects. They only start working after the deadline..

I did, but I don't think they really care. The second suggestion is great though, I'll keep that one in my mind. Usually we have to be in groups though..

about school group assignments/projects in general. Hey guys, this has been bothering me for a while now and I just need to get it off my chest. Hopefully this helps temper my bad mood a bit. Maybe you've experienced the same... Whenever there's a task or exercise we have to do for school in group, they never really do anything until I push every single person to do something small (which they then consider a huge assignment, and they will take forever to finish it). In the end the work comes down on me anyway if I want to get something semi-decent out of it.. And my work is rarely appreciated. It's even worse when we have an assignment in the computer class, they will all play games and not care about the assignment. If I ask when they're going to do something they reply 'we'll get to it'. *sigh* We have 6 periods to work on a project, 5/6th of those are spent gaming, surfing the web or something else that doesn't have to do anything with the task. I know I probably shouldn't care so much, but it's annoying. And I can't stand it. Maybe it's my personality or whatever. But I when I have to do something I want to get it done, but not rushed. I don't want to know what the result would be if I weren't encouraging them to at least do something. Another thing is, when I'm telling them they did nothing, that they actually think they did do a lot/enough. 'I typed half a page, wtf is your problem?' (While I have already done 6 or 7). Half a page is enough for them to call it a day. This annoys the * out of me, because usually, the half page they have written, is utter crap and has to be completely rewritten by me to make something decent out of it, and in the long run I would be better of making it myself. I feel like I'm being used by these parasites. And it's not only assignments. Another example. We had to read a book in groups of 3-4. Noone in my group read the book except me. I had to make the task, 8 pages long. We got a 9.5/20. They laughed at it and didn't care. I did. I worked hard for that task. When I told them I was angry with such a low mark they laughed again and were like, 'it's not like you had to do anything'. I worked a few nights on that task. They did nothing at all. And they still dare to tell me I didn't do much. For history we had to make another work, 2 persons/group. I again, did all the work. I added an extra A4 to the work, directed to the teacher about how the other person did nothing. The funny thing is he (the guy in my class) will be angry about it. I hope he will, then I can laugh right at him in the face and tell him he did nothing anyway. Next week we're making a trip with school, the letter says we have to bring a camera, the teacher also said so. But still, I'm sure my group will never know untill we get there. What would they do if I didn't bring mine? I'm bringing mine, and I'm pretty sure they won't even be thankful about it. After the trip we'll probably have to make a presentation about it. But who has the pictures? I do. I could send them to my group for them to make a presentation with the pictures, but I know it will be rushed and again, such crappy quality that I'll have to rework it anyway. For me it comes down to this. I always do all the work. They don't work, but when they do it's rushed and just terrible. (Meaning I have to rework anything they did anyway) What's the solution for me? Do nothing myself and have even worse grades? I hope for them they won't be like this in university, or worse, when they're working. Fastest way to get fired, maybe? I want to change this, but tbh, everyone in my class is like this. Except a few, but they always work together. I could do nothing, and we would get nothing done then. But what's the use of that? Maybe they'll see they got nothing done, but they just won't care... This is my rant, sorry for the long read. I had to get this out of me, so I kinda raged on my keyboard here. I hope the structure is okay so you can at least understand what I'm trying to say :x

Not really that much to discuss about.. But what happened to rule 8 ?
