So my master budgetary plan involves basically having no spare income and/or actively losing money around November-January, and then things pick up again in February.

Because November and December are clearly the best months to be broke.

Dammit Brentai you're biting my style.

Yeah, when I got hired in June it was a six-month contract, meaning I'd be laid off right at Christmas.

Fortunately, they solved that issue by firing me in June!

I'll be "broke" because my income is paying off all my property and debts so uhhhh not really?

Oh, cheers then.

Does this mean no Brentai in Dirty Santa 2011

Brentai · « **Reply #47 on:** August 01, 2011, 01:59:15 PM »

I think you've missed the point of Dirty Santa entirely.

Still gotta pay for shipping.

I don't think I've ever dusted in my life, and I can't remember the last time I mopped, so god damn cleaning the kitchen from 11PM-2:30AM was a chore.

Tomorrow I'll have a nice clean kitchen and a fridge and maybe some goddam hot water too if I'm lucky. Yaaay.

I'm not kidding when I say this surge protector might be the single best computer/media upgrade I've purchased in the last couple years. I had no fucking idea how shitty the power coming off a raw outlet/cheap power strip was. Getting a decent noise cleaner makes an immediate and noticeable improvement to display quality (not so much audio, but that's probably because I'm using a USB device right now) and running the cable line through it seems to have stabilized my connection speed at the exact rated MBps, rather than just bouncing wildly between 50% and 120%. Though that might just be what the line happens to be running right now.

Anyway, point being, get a goddam line filter. I've got a UPS coming in that's basically the same brand and the same shit with a battery backup added, so I'll have plenty of places to plug my stuff into, yay.

I want about 7 of those

Mongrel · « **Reply #52 on:** August 10, 2011, 05:55:43 AM »

Brentai speaks the truth. Been using UPSes for years and boy do they ever help with all the above, plus the longevity of your computer.

Thad · « **Reply #53 on:** August 10, 2011, 07:05:33 AM »

I've got a TrippLite myself. It's old but in good shape.

Have never really done the UPS thing; have very few power interruptions. (Thunderstorm takes out the power maybe once a year.)

Mongrel · « **Reply #54 on:** August 14, 2011, 01:54:39 PM »

Man, not only have the ONLY pants to have ever really fit me well been discontinued, according to Google, they never even existed.

Also, in what must be the hundredth episode of "Mongrel looks for something that should be ubiquitous, but can't find it anywhere.", bathrobes seem to be a mysterious object not sold on this continent.

Büge · « **Reply #55 on:** August 14, 2011, 05:32:19 PM »

But... you own a bathrobe already.

Mongrel · « **Reply #56 on:** August 14, 2011, 07:06:21 PM »

I cannot own too many bathrobes.

(also my existing bathrobe is pretty close to being toast).

Büge · « **Reply #57 on:** August 14, 2011, 07:50:24 PM »

Start here.

I see 'em all the time in the Sears Wish Book, which ought to be out next month. There's probably a few in the "Gifts under X Dollars!" section if you don't mind the robes having hockey logos or whatever on them.

Mongrel · « **Reply #58 on:** August 14, 2011, 08:09:25 PM »

I was actually in Sears today, amusingly enough.

Anyway, it's the paper-thin thin ones I'm looking for. It is summer after all.

Büge · « **Reply #59 on:** August 14, 2011, 08:21:57 PM »

Just make one yourself out of butcher paper and duct tape.
