  1. I was just looking for exactly this. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
  2. Thank you sir
  3. I need to get one of those within a week mike. Where did you get them from if you don't mind sharing.
  4. It's dreary for whoever uses it...
  5. The world does need more proctologists...
  6. I'm afraid to ask for your thoughts on an ebony totem for use as a dildo
  7. I got one of those too quite difficult to put to use but it helped a lot on verbal portions of standardized tests. What/who are you studying?
  8. i entirely agree with you all in that he got to where he is mostly due to experience. i was just trying to pussy foot around admitting that i am deeply scared of failure in real life and well failures in the school world dont really mean much in the grand scheme of things whereas failures in the real world amount to far more.
  9. its not so much that school prepares me to do a job well. perhaps i misspoke. i just dont see how even with a phd in building financial models i could trust myself with coming up with or testing an investment model for 500 bucks of my own money let alone millions of someone elses. the fact that i absolutely hated that crap is a whole different story but i find the sheer amount of knowledge even in a very very narrow field quite overwhelming. i dont have many other examples to give but my fathers. watching him work is an absolute treat. He is pushing past 55 but when he gets a call about something gone wrong in some random oil tanker he knows exactly what part the engineer is talking about, what current substitutes are available, what would be economically feasible to get across the world overnight, how best to approach the repairs and who to contact for said repairs. this came after sailing on oil tankers for 20+ years. he was once challenged by a younger engineer to recite from memory the pathway for the coolant from the bilge pump to the main boiler. he did so. correctly. i have seen him be calm and collected and be able to think while the ship we were on was on a collision course with another. its a long shadow to have to grow up under.
  10. dude that is awesome. i only have 51k/10w resistors though. can i cut them in 10 pieces and use the individual pieces? i cant wait to have very deep and structured basses. i dont want to regret. please respond fastly. ok?
  11. Meanies I just like being in school and learning stuff. There is also that nagging fear that I don't know enough about a certain field to be able to do the job well enough.
  12. Stay safe knuckles And everyone else
  13. meester morph gets a cookie.
  14. Just found out I actually got a 92 on an orgo test that I thought I had bunted. Knew how to do a sizable portion of the test but had to pick between two extremely similar answers which I don't like to do. Didn't have a good feeling coming out of the test but 92 with a class average of 41 (median 43) I am quite pleased with the 92. Yay for gut instinct!
  15. happy birthday sir
  16. How does the cryo treatment affect the sound signature? Is it not as ...warm anymore?
  17. Well at home we have a 3mbit dsl line. So that never gets used for my purposes. The connection would need to be used 24/7 and with no one else being able to use the Internet. Most of the bit movement happens at school. Any way to monitor usage on my laptop itself without bogging the system down?
  18. Wonder how I can monitor my usage...would be fun statistic methinks.
  19. I was in a hurry. Figured I would just type a response than sit there and read everything.
  20. disable mouse acceleration, vsync, reduce video to lowest settings, turn off all background processes but keep a temperature monitor on and log processor and gpu temps. if the issue persists, try overclocking the usb port to match the polling rate of the mouse. you have to hexedit which potentially could mean bad things for your motherboard so be careful of what you edit and keep a copy of the old file just in case. rename it and put it in a different folder so there is no confusion. the usb oc helped a lot when i wanted to use a higher polling rate with a razer copperhead. smoothed out mouse movement. do one thing at a time as in first disable mouse acc. see if that helps. then disable vsync, see if that helps etc. will help troubleshoot better. post specs of new rig and what games you are trying to play. i find gameplay a lot more engaging than pretty graphics so i typically run shit on lower settings if necessary just to have a smoother playing environment.
  21. When do you guys drink all this stuff? Or is it all just stock piled and mixed on occasion in some permutation? Very nice mike. I really like the blue dial.
  22. You got balls Shelly. Big 'uns.
  23. You just fucked me skull and blew my mind. Really. How?
  24. I applied to 24. Got admitted to 8 out of hs. This was a while back but I can't imagine things having gotten better since. Didn't start any companies but I had a fairly decent resume. Got rejected by Chicago, Stanford, caltech, upenn, ucla, Berkeley, Harvard, brown, nyu, Harvey mudd, and many more BUT got into the school I wanted to go to since I was 11 so I didn't really care. A lot of times they get students who are very similar on paper and they turn down others after they pick up one. So it's not that one is not competitive enough, just that there are clones out there and they just turned in their application first. I hope this doesn't look like me trying to scare you but a plea to perhaps reconsider than number. Maybe a few safety schools and throw in a few reach schools as well. Good luck to you daughter. I hope she gets in not into the best school but the one where she wants to attend.
