Amazing how much a system fucks up when you use the wrong grade of solder paste in a mass produced product.
Especially one with such a poorly designed cooling system.

=======================

Today is the last day gamestop is offering the 30%+ extra on tradeins toward another game.
I have like 9$ (from MW3's preorder) on AC: Revelations but Skyrim is appearing more and more appealing.

What do Remnant? What do?

=======================

Also, does anyone know how to hide scratches on a 360 disk?
I don't care if it actually fixes the disk or not. I just want to hide the ring scratches so I can trade this bitch in.

I ended up turning the disk in as-is anyway. I only got docked like 2$. Ended up getting Skyrim anyway.

What I didn't catch was that she docked me for a repair fee for my AC:Brotherhood disk. That shit was in perfect condition as I ran it from the harddrive like all my other games.
Oh well, 2$ ain't shit to rage about.

Automatic flushing toilets, they never automatically flush at the right time, if they even decide to automatically flush. Some don't even have that button to manually flush them.

I hate all this spam email I'm getting from my friends and family, It's something about "Canadian Health" and it sends the email to everyone on their contacts list.
And now I'm also getting spam emails about a craigslist ad I posted about 3 years ago.
I hate spam emails.

My plugin-container has been locking up lately. I assume due to the recent flash update.

I can, but loading any website with flash risks locking up my browser. Then I must go to taskmgr and end plugin-container(which is restarted next time I load a page).

To fix the lock up? Uninstall Flash.

Seriously though, you could try uninstalling and falling back to a previous version.

Over the last month, I stopped working with my dad doing drywall taping because I hated it and he got a job doing something much easier and getting paid a lot more to do it. So now I have no job and have been trying to find something, but no where has called me back yet. Finally told a girl I've been kidding myself was my friend to fuck off and stay out of my life. Went to the gym for the first time in a few months yesterday and feel really good about that. I'll keep up with going to the gym, and keep looking for a job, and hopefully my life will get back on track. Anyways, there's a lot of other crap I want to rant about that, but my arms hurt right now from last night's workout.

Word. I have to lock in most of the semesters worth of linear algebra this week because I don't learn much from lectures about 'sytem of leenear eqations'. At least the rest of my finals shouldn't be bad.

One of my friends keeps insisting on me to get on facebook and chat with them. I don't know why they can't just use AIM or Skype... Anyway when I signed in I noticed the new chat sidebar thing. This new sidebar doesn't even show half my friends on it, even a few that are online don't show up so I can't chat with them. I said fuck it and closed the window.
