    Security Deposit Question

    At the end of August, I moved out of an apartment. When my roommate and I moved in, it was a total disaster, and we could never quite get it clean (for example, our kitchen cupboards were always slightly sticky even after our attempts at scrubbing). Anyway, when I was doing my move out...

    I should not be allowed to stay up this late

    I've been looking at horrible videos and finding them completely hilarious. Laban's Hvor Skal Vi Sove I Nat Apache Crazy Horses Half-Breed Shark Attack! And I'm pretty sure that I did not rick roll on any of these. Although some may be worse than that...

    Book appraisal

    I just got a call from my mom. My hometown's "city-wide" garage sale is going on, and my mom has found what could be an amazing find. I guess one of our neighbors has a box of books sitting for sale, including three Rudyard Kipling books. The copyright dates are 1898, 1902, and she couldn't...

    Good Ol' Boys

    I just saw this http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=5403426&page=1 (comic linked in article) for a politician running for office in Oklahoma. The comic is referring to the democrats/liberals as "good old boys." I guess I've always heard that phrase referring to republicans. What do you...

    Sherbet

    Sherbet I just finished reading this article, and this is something my boyfriend and I talk about probably more than what's normal. So how do you say it? And just to start things off: I say Sherbet, but my boyfriend says Sherbert.

    2GB 667Mhz $36 or 4GB 800MHz $109

    I already have 2GB 667MHz in a MSI P965 Platinum (800MHz board), would I see any real increase in performance with the 800 MHz or should I go with the $40 upgrade.

    Stream Processors and Performance

    I was looking at some spec comparisons and I saw the 3870 has 320 stream processors and the 8800GT has 112. Why doesn't this translate into performance? Same question with memory width 256 bit vs 512 bit?

    3870 vs 8800GT vs 9600GT

    In the recent Anandtech article it showed the 3870 being significantly faster than the nvidia cards. I'm in the market for a modern card. I would be playing on a 24 in Dell widescreen, so 1920x1200 is what I'd like to play at. The 3870 is also a little cheaper. Edit: another anandtech review...

    Cornish Game Hen

    Tonight I cooked up some cornish game hen for the first time, and although it tastes awesome, I ended up wasting a lot of it because I've never had to cut and clean one before (no experience doing this with chicken either). Any tips for me next time?

    Question on Tariffs

    I'm taking a microeconomics class, and I end up confusing myself a lot by overthinking everything. When I'm graphing tariffs, is the cost split between the consumers and producers, or does one carry the entire burden?

    News from my old high school

    My mom is a teacher at my old high school. This year, they got quite a few new students at my school because of this (around 10 students per class, 7-12). Anyway. There are 5 boys from that school in the freshman class, and all of them have been caught masturbating in class. (My mom knows...

    Weird Camera... thing just happened

    So, I have an older digital camera (old as in I bought it in 2003... I think it's a Powershot A70). Anyway, I don't use it that often anymore because, well, it takes crappy pictures. But I dug it out because the chinchillas were being all cute, but the screen on the back wasn't working. I...

    ProActiv

    I don't have bad acne, but I get an occasional stubborn break out. My boyfriend has been saying I should try it, but before I spend $50 on something, I want to know if anyone else recommends it. Or if there's anything else you would recommend.

    Considering Environmental Science Major

    I'm in my second year at the U of Minn, and right now, and this is what I'm looking at for a major. I'm most interested in the Environmental Monitoring and Analysis focus and the Soil and Water Sciences. I'm just wondering if anyone works in either of these or a similar field. What kinds...

    Some Apartment Questions

    My roommate and I moved into an apartment on the first of the month. The kitchen floor was the only thing that had been cleaned (however, not under any of the appliances), and the rest of the apartment was just gross (carpet included). The carpet finally got replaced on the 5th, however, they...

    Apartment question

    I'm looking at renting a 2 bedroom apartment (with roommate) for $860/month. Most people I've talked to have said that most security deposits are going to be about $400-500. This one is asking for the $860. Is that unreasonable?

    What language should I take this fall?

    French and German are the only two languages that really fit into my schedule (a night class twice a week for French, 8am class everyday for German). I doubt I'll do more than a year of either as I'd like to get a minor in Chinese, (didn't fit the schedule with other classes I needed this...

    Here's a new one...

    As I type this, I'm getting a new deadbolt put on my door. About 2 hours ago, my boyfriend came over, and of course, I went to open the door. It wouldn't unlock. Called the emergency maintenance (probably a good 30 times until the bf actually got the lock off). Never got an answer, no phone...

    Sleep Position

    Does anyone else have problems sleeping on your side? Whenever I try to (only time is when I'm cuddling with the bf), my top leg starting at my hip to my knee for sure (sometimes goes midway down my calf) starts to hurt. Sometimes the pillow between the knees works, but usually there's...

    Comfort Food

    It doesn't have to be food that's traditionally thought of as "comfort" food, I'm just curious. I have a couple. My grandma's macaroni and cheese (I follow her recipe to t he letter, and still can't get it to turn out like hers), homemade lefse, homemade pizza. Also, if you have a...

    Apartment issue

    A friend of mine moved into a new apartment back in May. When he found the place, he was told the laundry room was available so many hours per day (something like 7am-10pm). What he wasn't told was that the manager made up a schedule for the residents. When he moved in, he was put on the...

    Blu Kote

    I guess I'll try to keep this short. My chinchilla has ringworm (had it at the breeder too). Decided to spray him with Blu-Kote. After I sprayed him, he shook (think like how a wet dog shakes) and I got hit with it. Blue Kote is bright purple. Which means my face, neck and arms are...
