edit: Oh, and she's not in today, but can sure put that ticket in so it just sits there in my queue. Hah! 816 MB free of 118 GB SSD. Windows only takes like 30 GB. What do want to bet she's got like 80 GB of MP3s in iTunes?

Ok let me clarify so everyone understands my position:

The Irish are no longer reviled and have blended into "white society" to the point that you do not hear of anti Irish sentiment in the year of our lord 2017

They are no longer held down by socioeconomic setbacks by the white ruling class that hispanics and African Americans are, they are just normal white people. A slur is strong or hateful word against a person who is not a member of the cisgender heterosexual white community. Words against the LGBTQ community can also be called slurs.

All of my family refers to other Irish people as "micks", we all call each other dumbass micks, and the word has been reclaimed except for by Boston Irish people who still think they're persecuted or whatever, I don't know what it's like out there but I doubt they're persecuted

Anyways I made chicken noodle soup and after eating pho and ramen all the time it was a nice change of pace
No guys, it's like black people calling each other N-words, it's totally cool.

Actually, price gouging is desirable, as it drives up prices for scarce resources, ensuring they get distributed in the most efficient manner and enticing entrepreneurs to travel down and provide the supply! Just like in my macroeconomics 101 class!

Back in the day, we had a guy who filed a service ticket for "new hard drive," but he already had the then-immense maximum of what we could provide, 30GB x 3. If he wanted any more we'd have to knock the CD drive off his machine or figure out an external thing.

So we sent one of the guys to go help him clean out his machine.

Yeah, dude had filled up all three drives with highly organized pornography. And considering the period, it must have been mostly still images.

That's amazing.

No, you stupid gently caress. You actually ration the supplies if that is needed. "Supply and demand" has no place in a disaster situation. There's a word for that. It is "profiteering", and it makes you a despicable person. You don't charge people more for necessary survival items in a civilized society. God.

It'd be a lot better to connect with either someone in TX, or make a donation to a charity already assisting in the gulf coast region. There's some small towns that don't have power or running water (Aransas Pass comes to mind).

gently caress me.

We're expecting in a month, and apart from illness and injury for the little guy or his mom, the relationship turning sour and either part taking him hostage is basically my worst fear.

I can deal with splitting up, it'll suck, but sometimes it's the least lovely situation, but countering that with "then you won't see the kid ever again" is such a childish and selfish thing to do.

Best of luck blk. I hope it ends well for you.

why the gently caress do crimp tools cost so much and why can't I just buy the dies I need?. All the tools seem to use the same size dies so surely they should be interchangeable?
