    I no longer belong

    Built my last PC around 2006 I think and no longer keep up with hardware. Did purchase a Gateway netbook a while back and was exposed to the wonders (horrors) of Windows 8.1. Decided to try a fresh Windows Vista install on my 2006 box last week and after two days of trying and failing, gave...

    Amazon mp3 downloads issue

    Almost posted in software but this is audio/software related. I may be the only person still burning CDs but I have a nice (classic) Alpine CD player in my car. It DOES have WMA/MP3 support and I've burned and played many a CD in there. Only recently have I tried Amazon music downloads. I've...

    My Porn HD died

    Well that's not all that was on there but I had an embarrassing amount of GBs on there. Long time collection. It suffered the click of death. That night I only backed up a few key docs and such. Next day I made the mistake of unplugging it. Tried to hook it back up now it no longer registers...

    So, you receive $21,XXX in a lump sum

    Call it an insurance settlement. A family member helped you pay the deductible and you pay them back ~$2,300. You have about $19,500 left. Assuming no outstanding debt. What do you do with this money?

    Del Taco vs. Taco Bell

    I need to eat some junk. Del Taco is closer and is seriously better so I'm not sure why Taco Bell is even in the running. What should I get?

    When I drink I save

    I know some people get their drink on and end up getting stuff in the mail they never knew they ordered. I on the other hand get all uptight and start slimming my checking account.

    Would you pay $20 for a hand car wash?

    Not sure of the quality of the work yet. And let's not forget tip. Normally wash my own, but feeling especially lazy. Don't trust the machine/conveyor places.

    Time fixation/anxiety

    I'm one of those, on time is late, early is on time people. The problem is I can annoy myself with worrying about time. For example I work at 11:30am today and I've been up since about 7:30am. I don't need to leave until 10:30am (and even that's leaving earlier than truly necessary)...

    Wear headphones, ride on sidewalk, flip off motorists

    Have we had a cyclist hate thread lately? Then again this guy probably wouldn't count. Mountain bike on the sidewalk, no helmet. He had room to pass in front of me, shame I didn't give him a love tap. Dbag.

    Shart and run

    Just ran a quick errand and ended up stuck behind a VW Passat when the female driver of advanced age decided to ignore the green light and hop out of the car. Next she proceeded to point her ass at the rear view mirror on the driver door. At this point I say in my head "she shit herself" Lo and...

    Thought I had a hernia, realized I didn't, went to doctor anyway

    Described my symptoms and such and he decides it might be irritable bowel though he didn't officially say I have IBS. Said it might be from stress. Told me what foods to avoid but fuck that, I'm only 26. Things haven't gotten worse but I still feel crappy. Now I'm convinced I have...

    Going to pay off my car loan

    Owe just under $3,000 at 7.24%. Going to pull the money from my ING savings sitting at 1.10% because I'm unemployed and will be that way until at least January. Thinking I should have done this a while ago. Will still have a good amount of savings left.

    Any way to reduce dreams?

    Do they happen during REM sleep? I seem to be having some intense ones lately and keep waking up. I think it's the dreams that's waking me up. What's worse is some are about work. My job really isn't even stressful so I'm not sure why I'm dreaming about it.

    What's that beer you guys like?

    I see it posted a lot but never remember. This time I'm going to write it down. I'm not sure if it's unpopular in CA or if I'm just not looking for it.

    Microsoft Security Essentials - complaint

    Excessive, prolonged hard drive activity. In an effort to stop it I've turned off the daily scan. Still happens. The hard drive will seek for minutes on end and I'm tired of listening to it. I've googled the issue and have found maybe one other similar complaint. I'm ready to...

    Do people still buy inkjet printers?

    My mom wants me to find her a new one. Even worse she wants color. I can't convince her otherwise. She's aware of the cost of the ink but she says since she can afford it why not? All I can think of is this: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/printers

    Ghetto HTPC setup

    For the life of me I haven't been able to master the art of HTPC. I'm always missing some part or something. Got bored tonight and now I'm sitting here with an old Shuttle SN45G AMD Athlon rig hooked to my badass 42" Plasma by the ghetto AGP port with sound hooked up analog style with 3.5...

    Damn you interweb! (Amazon)

    First, I do way too much research/comparisons on the simplest things (i.e. HDMI cable). Second, I ran to Best Buy (ugh) this morning for a must-have DVD and CD. Total $43.88. Now I'm on Amazon and can get the same two items for $31.98 shipped. Is that $11.90 cents worth driving back...

    Re: christmas bonus threads

    I know most of ATOT is gainfully employed making at least six figures, but some of us don't have jobs. Enough with the "I wanna brag about my job and my bonus" threads No reason for "hey jerkfaces" in the thread title. Phrase a thread title like a troll, and the replies that follow are...

    Called for an interview

    Good news and bad news. I need a job (temp job ran out) but I'd prefer it be law enforcement related. This position is not. Despite being certified for hire with a local PD it's not a guarantee I'll be hired so if I actually get this job offer I'll take it. The position the interview is for is...

    I sent a "resume follow up" letter

    Oh the desperation. I have more than the minimum required experience. They wanted someone with an Associates degree, I have a BA. Not terribly overqualified but I think my more recent job experience points out that I was getting away from the industry this application was for. Desperate...
