What is love?

Not what I was looking for, but still technically counts.

The problem with the Android 50GB offer is that I believe it ends in a year or two. Its a bait, you upload a ton of stuff, in a year or two, you either pay up or lose your files I guess. Who stores 50GB of files online especially when you consider the bandwidth cap

I'm not *absolutely* positive, but I believe I signed up for this back at my old job, which was 3 years ago at a minimum, so if it is time-limited it's a long-ass time.

And the time-limited offer on my Chromebook/Google Drive offer of 100 gigs, they said "When your time runs out, you keep the files uploaded just you can't upload any MORE" so that's something I suppose. Regardless, I keep all the files I actually CARE about on my Dropbox, a few hundred megs of gaming-related pdf's and character sheets (pen and paper gaming) are on the Google Drive, and I only recently started to use the box.net for some scans of boxes for The Cover Project.

So basically I'm using each of the things for separate purposes.

@rcb 81k psh....my over 150k on my 11 yr old civic is more impressive to me

My current car, a '98 Taurus, has over 160k on it... and my parents just sold a Ford van that had over 700k on it. You two are noobs when it comes to stringing along ancient chariots.

You got that wrong I meant my car is very under-average of use. In fact your car's milage is average. I believe 12k miles a year is around avearge, so you are ok.

my parents just sold a Ford van that had over 700k on it.

They sold it?! How much could you possibly get for a van with $700K miles?

I doubt fords last over 150k .(Fix Or Repair Daily)

I'm trying to read three books in three days for a project I am working on.

Read one yesterday. Today is day two.

If you see me here posting a ton and being distracted, please send me a PM to get my ass in gear.

Day three is today, and I am starting the third book. This one is the longest and I have the most other stuff to do today, so it will be a stretch. Hopefully it holds my interest and I can power through…

You read books a lot quicker than I do now ha ha, but I do get easily distracted somehow

So now psychologists and their ilk are coming out of the woodwork saying that modern life is killing us, that we evolved over millennia and now our bodies can't cope with the fast-paced bullshit we face daily.. oy vey iz mir! Nobody's doing anything about this. Just keep prescribing pills, chaps!



^ That actually happened to me once, and I was mad as hell.

I'm mindfull as feckall

Why, you wanna buy it?

Currently I'm at 81,000 which is *nothing* for a 15 year old car (the average would be 180k). I got it with only 50k on it and was able to do about only 6k/year for the last 5 years.

I own a Toyota and I wanted to know how long they last. 81k miles is impressive. I have a 2002 model Toyota that has 93 miles on it and everyone is amazed by it. Many of my friends reach that number in 5 yeas or a bit more. You must hardly leave the house, or the previous owner.

Well, like I said, I got it when it was already about 10 years old and it only had 50k on it. That's only 5k per year that the original owner put on it. And for the first 6 years that I owned it, I only put on about 6k each year. My job was really close to home. I was using the car 6 or 7 days per week, it's just that everything was local.

But, with my new job, I'm gonna be doing at least 18k per year. That's 3 times the amount!!!

Tell me about it....I think I've done that at least once or twice...or maybe three times. Amazing what the human brain forgets when you're super tired...
