Getting a solid state drive made it almost like a new computer.

I've been on the same MBPro for about 8 years.

Happy Birthday Spiderman.

Dude, you're not in your 70s.

Happy Birthday!

You know that's technically a different sauce, right?

No, because it's stupid.

Are you trying to have a grammar fight with a writer?

I love you man, but there wasn't much fun to begin with there.

Angry, vindictive, vicious sense of humor, named Karen, likes to travel? One of those is negative.

Just bought like 13 12oz steaks online.... so I'll be eating in for a while....

Sadly, so is Jingai....

Welcome Back!

Yeah you are.

I see how you do it with love.

I have no idea why everyone is so down on the DF. Am I not mean enough to Packard? Are you not entertained?

Oh..oh.. oh..OH..OHHHHHH....

That... is horrifying.

I mean, unless you're reading the end first, it hardly matters where you are in the book.

“Read" from the middle English "Reden" or "to advise." Specifically, reading as an act is not exclusive to medium and refers to the appraisal of information as opposed to the delivery of information. It's for this reason, the modern definition also includes reading as synonym for "appraising" a situation.

The thought of a book being a frivolous waste of money is astounding, but I completely understand that. I guess for me it's more of where that external fetish for the book as an object interacts with the book as a medium that is the most difficult to define. Specifically, its about defining the book as a physical gateway rather than just as symbolic stand-in for one, and a lot of it has to do with my personal view of the individual word and its role as a shared conduit. Oddly, this ties in with Sawdy's question about spoken word books and written books: to me there is no distinction as a medium between the two, even if the endpoints on each side are drastically different.

Living in the boonies would be great, as long as the boonies are Lake Tahoe.

Kinda disappointing selection. I mean they cute and all, but not really bears.

It's fucking stupid, but I guess to each his or her own. I have to do a round trip to Madera (next town above Fresno) every week, and it drains me. I'd probably just stay the night, but I can't afford to waste two days out of the office.

Stay away from the beach towns and you stay away from the entitled crowd.
