You could get another 2.7% if you cut out all the Weapon X stuff (since X2 already did that way better) and just focus on Team X and shady CIA adventures, but now we're squeezing blood from a stone.

Carpenters say a lot of pretty pretentious things for something pretty simple. In fact, a lot of carpentry hasn't even solved the same problems from thousands of years ago. There hasn't been a single advancement in carpentry since the invention of the hammer.
The deceptively simple "Hammer Method" only involves a little critical thinking. (which I'm sure most carpenters are incapable of doing)
Let's say you have a nail. Now carpenters might spend forever wallowing in angst over whether a nail is the correct implement or not.. The hammerer asks, "Is it a nail?" If the answer is yes, swing the hammer.
Maybe you have a screw. A carpenter uses a far too lengthy process that they themselves call "boring." Even they don't find it interesting, W-O-W!!! Because a hammerer recognizes that screws are just sexed up nails. The solution, as always, is to swing the hammer.
Perhaps you need to pry something open. A carpenter, the idiot that he is, might suggest a crowbar, which is just a glorified hammer claw. Even the technically right solutions are only derivative of the hammer.
Have you ever read anything by a carpenter? Its all nonsensical, unreadable stuff about measurements or wood grains or some other shitty carpenter jargon. Hammerers don't need manuals or complicated, specialized tools. "Is it a nail? It Always Is." That's the only thing you need to work with wood. Anything else is just mental masturbation.
If there are any carpenters reading this and getting ready to type up a mad comment, I'm already laughing at your useless wood studies "degree." The fact that universities will pay to teach naive students useless knowledge makes my blood boil.
Carpenters can sit in their workshops making birdhouses while us with the hammers will be building bridges and skyscrapers.
Same here. My fringe, when wet, covered my face. So I chopped it back so I could see.
Problem is, I have naturally curly hair, so if I looks short when it's wet, it's even shorter when it's dry. So I have to be careful not to cut too much off.
I need to decide if I want to go with the short pixie again, or a little longer shaggier pixie-ish thing, or if I want more of a wedge style that's short in back but still a little longer on the sides.
Goon internet critic thread: Doug Walker is mediocre, but seems like a nice person.
Internet critic: Actually, Doug is a bad person who mishandled several extremely sensitive situations in destructive ways
Goon internet critic thread: WOW, Doug is a BAD PERSON! *watches every single movie he makes like a hawk, because a hatecrush has been provoked and they will stop at nothing to support him while whining about how bad he is*

Which operating system do you guys prefer: Lunatix or PriceyBSD?
I dunno, it would be nice if I could build a sustainable lifestyle around staying home and avoiding people as much as possible
Instead of having to go out and work a job every day
i've thought this a bunch of times (though if i catch myself thinking it these days i remind myself how depressed i was when that *was* more or less my lifestyle, and then the idea becomes less appealing)

A Dell Dimension 8400 came in.
Customer wanted data retrieved off of it, which is fine. However, she's giving the computer away to another person. It's still running Windows XP and I cannot in good conscience suffer an XP install to exist while I can do something about it. Problem is, Ubuntu won't even run on it: The 8400's got a Pentium 4 with 1 GB of RAM, and Ubuntu wants something slightly more capable.
I don't even have XP install media in the shop. What do I do? Do I just leave the install there? Do I wipe it blank? Can I even find a modern Linux that will run on early 2000s hardware?
You are going to have to run an copy of Ubuntu that is no longer supported. Or you just tell them hey you have XP this thing is as good as hacked and you can't put a newer OS on it. I'm getting the data off of this but you need to throw it out.
"Accidentally" drop a big hammer on it instead? Why the fuck anyone would bother with a P4 laptop in tyool 2016 is beyond me.
Goons can be such technology snobs
I'm not gonna encourage anyone to run XP but if you have a functioning computer that can't run anything newer, it's stupid to throw it out
Dude, I am using an XP at this second. My sister's school computer that she won't need anymore now that she's got a newer computer. (The one I was using before this, Novus Computador, successor to El Computador, successor to the great La Computadora, died a couple months ago)
Nameless Computerbox is really a super great computer.
Dangit, I remember when XP was the great new thing!
Using XP is probably fine as long as you're not trying to keep any serious personal information on it while also browsing the internet.
And anyway, this reminds me of people being fucking baffled that anyone still buys PS2s. Not everyone tries or even wants to keep on the cutting edge at all times.
I remember when the Television show House came out and it was, like, the show with the jerkface doctor who got away with stuff that would get real people fired in a heartbeat and it was all "adult" and stuff, because at least he was saving lives or whatever.
And, like, today I realize that it was a reference to Sherlock Holmes the entire time because Holmes = Homes = House.

also Dr. House and Sherlock Holmes were both drug addicts

It's now just gone all squiggly and illegible.
So illegible that even I can't read it.
My wrist is very nearly in need of a wrist support.
