Excellent logic, imho.

Drying them makes them wear out faster and fade, imo. I spend a lot of money on jeans so I at first I always want them to last a while but then after a few months I become ashamed of myself and just start drying them.

Get to fly. You can live anywhere in the world, and live in wonderful conditions due to human provided HVAC. Also, unlimited eavesdropping potential.
And you live for what...... 2 weeks?
Seriously, you choose a fly because it can fly? Ever heard of a dragon?
What and live in a cold cave, or a mega-hot volcano? GMAFB
Plus, a fly can land upside down. UPSIDE DOWN!!
Dude, this is a fracking terrible idea. You need to accept this and move on.
Yep. This reminds me of the Garth Brooks song, "Unanswered Prayers." Sure, you think you want to be a fly, but you should be thankful you aren't, bro.
Just ask Jeff Goldblum how it worked out for him...

« on: February 09, 2010, 09:56:14 AM »The first one sucked. The latest one is much better but still gets boring pretty quickly. What's the point of earning tons of money if you run out of upgrades 3/4 of the way through the game?First one was cool for all of an hour or so, then when you realized you were going to be doing the exact same thing over and over again, it became annoying and not that fun. The story really wasn't much to write home about either.
I'll play the second one, eventually.
You basically just summed up the second one too, except it's fun for all of 3-5 hours.

Essentially Flyertalk / Re: Finish a Basement
« on: February 08, 2010, 07:45:22 PM »Good website for general construction/renovation costs
Decide whether to do it yourself or hire a contractor
Not free, but Fine Homebuilding have great articles that are geared towards construction professionals for this type of thing
Also, quick story on not pulling permits. A while ago, there was a realtor in a suburb NW of Denver that had completely renovated his home without pulling permits. And then he put it on the market. Someone at the City put 2 and 2 together, went to see the home, noticed that everything was new on an older home, went back to the City offices, couldn't find any permits for the work. So the city made him tear out everything, redo and go through permiting and inspections. Cost him a lot of time and money.
Had a similar thing happen at a place I lived in Manhattan. The previous owner set the basement up to finish it but then never got around to it. We had just purchased a projector and decided to finish the rest of the basement and turn it into a mancave (we had a pool table and one of those sweet arcade style "hot shot" basketball machines). We got it done and it was amazing. I mean amazing amazing.
.... Buuuut at the end of the semester the city came to inspect the house and basically forced them to rebuild the entire basement.

« on: February 08, 2010, 11:35:11 AM »our couch got pissed on so many times it wasn't even funny, but different people too. Our house was always the place to crash after a night at Aggieville. One time, a roommate got woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of pissing hitting carpet full stream. fml
Based on this, and your previous bed bug post, your apartment sounds disgusting. Jmo.

Essentially Flyertalk / Re: Anyone else get worried about bed bugs when they travel
« on: February 08, 2010, 11:11:52 AM »I had a run-in with them 3 years ago at my old apartment. It wasn't necessarily the grossest apartment you ever saw, but 4 people living in a 3 bedroom didn't help. A couple roommates complained about having red itchy bumps in the morning. I gradually noticed tiny red spots(im guessing blood) on my sheets. Finally my roommate woke up in the middle of the night to one biting him. Went in to total freak out alert. Tore up all the beds, found them lining the mattresses. Ended up having to get the place fumigated every other week or something like that. Gradually they died out. Worst months of my life. Luckily they didn't transfer anywhere else.
That's pretty disgusting.

This always make me extremely nervous. The fact that Dateline basically does a show about dirty hotels every couple weeks doesn't help either.

Enginerd , yes, I have emailed Frank Martin and the KSU AD about his profanity. I do not approve of his language. Basketball games should be a family venue and Martin certainly puts a crimp on taking my wife and grandchildren to games.

They're getting rocked.
Slightly ot, but not worthy of its own thread, UNLV is really laying into BYU. Scored 54 points in the 1st half and are up 20+.

Guitar Hero should be put on hold while you're trying to learn the real deal. By "on hold" I mean you should never play it again.

Question though, my guitar has spent some time leaning against the wall, did I ruin it?
You're probably ok. You can hold it parallel to the ground and make sure that the neck is still straight, but I'm sure it's fine. Extreme cold and/or heat are worse for it.
Sweet. What is the best kind of tuner to get this bad boy up and running?
You can get an alright tuner for less than 30 bucks. I have a nice one and a cheaper one and there really isn't too terribly big of a difference b/w the two.
