Anyone care to give some feedback?

My rec is get a working website.

 

this is a joke i know how things break randomly i get it please don't be discouraged

 

You're using Google's DNS?

 

Google for some reason won't look up my domain since last night. (I use Google). DNSSEC is failing or something.

 

Lol.

So I've noticed this thread's regulars all follow similar trends.

 

RPG is constantly dealing with psycho exes.

Muggi reminds us of the joys of polygamy.

Saq is totally oblivious to how much chicks dig him.

I strike out every other week.

Kalphite wages a war against the friend zone.

Randox pretty much stays rational.

Etc, etc

I got my learner's permit today! Hoping to get a license by my birthday (25th). Assuming nothing major comes up, I could buy a used Toyota Camry (or similar) by March or April. Anyone have advice for buying a used car from Craigslist? My though process is meet at a mechanic, have a pre-purchase inspection done, if it goes okay, meet at my bank and pay for the car.

School has been great. Although the programming classes thus far have covered everything I already know, they're still great fun. Been talking with my classmates when I can. There's a game developer's club I'm going to join later. The first meeting is on the 21st.

Work has been great, too. I've been really comfortable talking to customers. Have a pretty good success rate of convincing them to buy "attachments" like ink and warranties so far. Haven't sold a computer yet, though... Only printers.

 

To think, just two months ago, I was so depressed I didn't want to get out of bed..

 

edit: Also I found out I'm #10 in RuneScape for number of Tormented Demons killed. I haven't killed a Tormented Demon in over a year and a half LOL. Can I put that on my resume, or would that make me overqualified?

Love to hear it Veiva!

 

I wouldn't recommend a craigslist used car st all, but rather a dealership. Or one better -Cat sense. You have to be especially wary of buying cars in the bible belt because a lot of people fancy themselves creative mechanics and end up rigging all kinds of temp fixes that end up being your problem. At least from dealerships you can get warranties, but at the cost of loads more hassle.

 

Which brings me to CarSense. I assume there s one in your region, and they may come off as more expensive at first but their service is top notch and you end up saving money with all the warranties and free tune ups (not to mention the time).

 

But bottom line, always get a second opinion on cars marketed by private owners

I'd generally agree but I live near Fort Bragg and people in the military often sell their otherwise functional vehicles when they're deployed overseas due to costs of transport, etc. Like I said, I'd be adamant at meeting at a local mechanic and having an inspection done. I'd also bring a friend whose good with cars and I'd  require service records or I'd refuse to buy it.

 

It would take 12 months to save up for a car from a dealership assuming there's no unexpected expenses. This doesn't include insurance. I'm not waiting another year. I'm tired of having to deal with inclement weather, riding gear, lack of storage, and the general risk that comes with riding 10-15 MPH under the speed limit on a scooter.

 

As it stands, I'm up for review for my disability benefits this year. If they no longer think I'm disabled, then I'm back to square one. "Disabled" means can't hold a job, not that I think there's people in walls or that the world is controlled by interdimensional dream monsters.

When I was in high school, a friend of a friend was selling their 1970 buick for like $1000, and I was considering buying it. Took it to the mechanic that both my parents took their vehicles to, a guy they knew pretty well and trusted. He told me it'd be a good car for me (now that I can read between the lines 6 years later) because it was going to have problems and I was going to have to learn to deal with them and also put in the work to maintain the vehicle.

 

So, I suggest some caution with the mechanics, or at least a little healthy skepticism.

Went out playing disc golf today, ended up with a freak thunderstorm and flash floods.

 

3 people missing and probs dead, as they were swept away by the flood, my bike is probably underwater, tens evacuated and/or trapped. Emergency services have helicopters up and about.

If you have a knack for mechanics and the price is good, go for it. But if you don't, you might aswell buy a bigass paperweight.

 

Done with the NZ Nationals of disc golf. 3 days of crazy discing, I am absolutely terribly sunburnt.

And exhausted.

 

But quite happy, was epic.

My computer has been hving some serious BSOD issues lately. Only when I'm playing intensive games though, like it happened a couple times during more than on of my Rocket League binges BUT it happens between 1/2 and 1/3 of the times I'm playing PUBG. And that game is frustrating enough without my computer deciding to have some kind of "watchdog" error and BSODing. I youtubed what may be causing it, to which it was agreed that I needed to update my drivers, which I did. Restarted computer. Seemed ok. Now its happening again, except all my drivers are absolutely up to date accross the board. The only other thing I can think of is that my motherboard doesn't like my new headset. Any one else want to offer suggestions about why it may be happening/how to fix it/have personal experience?

Yeah I took out my headset and had a couple hours of uninterrupted gameplay. Rather sad news since I just got this headset, and it wasn't cheap. Can anything be done from my end to make my computer behave better with my hardware?

Did you just use the windows driver update to see if your drivers are up to date? You could try searching online for more up to date drivers for your headset. Sometimes windows' update system doesn't have the most up to date drivers, for whatever reason.

Start at about the 10 second mark and watch until the end.

Eh, I'm only $28k in debt. So I guess I'm not that bad off. 

 

Well this is the first time I've calculated my student loan debt w/o interest and it's 51k in GBP because I did a year abroad and Master's lol

 

Job interview on Friday though, hopefully it goes well

Iirc, UK has a system where you don't pay back your student loan until you reach a certain level of income. And that income is pretty high, meaning paying back the debt should not be that much of an issue. Also, the interest rates are really low, as it is guaranteed by the government.

still doesn't stop the debt from accruing interest.

Local donut shop is liquidating its assests and im like THIS close to buying it and opening a bakery.

 

Virtually clueless on the profit margins of a donut shop though
