i have been typing on the same keyboard for almost 17 years and i'm so used to it i don't want to go to another kind of keyboard if anything happens to this one.. in fact i have a backup model of the same keyboard since they are so hard to find.
it's the old ibm model m keyboard.
i love the sound of the feedback and the racket it makes compared to the newer keyboards.
Personally, I prefer lower keys with very little feedback... It allows me to type much, much faster than on a larger keyboard. Also from a speed perspective, QWERTY keyboards are designed specifically to slow down your typing, so bleh... Though it's hard to find anything else.
I do know what you mean, though. I grew up with one of those keyboards (or one very, very similar). They're nice.

I never got to play the original GTA... Though I heard it didn't really come into its own until GTA3.
Awesome trailer. Looks like it's going to be another blockbuster.

Interesting story. What the hell is wrong with that guy? He should know what the 1st century christians had to say on the subject... Just... really?

ok i was a born in and never watched or touched anything to do with hypnotist's as we are told to avoid them at all costs and i always followed all the rules to the letter.. so yesterday we have the county fair going on and they have this hypnotist show so i went to it.
the hypnotist called up about 15 people on stage and tried to put them under.
about five of them he just could not put them under so that left about ten people on stage.. of those ten the hypnotist could do almost anything to them, it looked like it was staged expect one of the young women had been sitting right by me and her friends were right next to me, so it did seem legit.. the hypnotist had them fall asleep and when they were in that state he would tell them that when they woke up they would react to key words he had said to them or when he touched his face a cretin way.. it sort of freaked me out because it was like how i was in the religion.
A couple of fun facts about hypnosis (from what I studied in Psychology, so I'm not exactly an expert... my professor used to work as a hypnotherapist, though, if that means anything to you):
> A person under hypnosis will do a lot of weird and crazy things, but a lot of it is stageplay. A person who is under hypnosis will not do anything that they are unwilling to do. Telling someone to do something they're unwilling to do (such as killing some one, for example) will immediately snap them out of the trance. (I've had this happen to myself before... It's rather jarring)
> Post-hypnotic suggestion (hypnotizing someone to do something after they come out of the trance) very rarely works, especially as time passes between the session and the trigger.
> You can, however, trick people into creating false memories with hypnosis. This has led to many stories about Satanic ritual abuse and child molestation that were later found to be unfounded.
Hypnosis is nothing to be afraid of, as long as you can trust in the hypnotist... And even then, they won't be able to just outright control you (though they may be able to mess with your head over multiple sessions... which is how the JWs can mess with you).
some of you know that i am deaf.

Iamallcool:
Just curious: Is thinking in sign language visual, muscle memory, or something else? (If that's not too personal of a question) I can definitely see why it would vary from person to person... I could see it being a mental picture of disembodied gestures, or of a specific person (yourself, or whoever the speaker was) signing, or just the kind of "tingly" feeling in my hands I get when I imagine what it feels like to play a certain note on the clarinet.
Thank you for sharing that wonderful article! That is probably the most illuminating thing I've read in weeks.
i'm male, in my early twenties, and i don't know how to cook.
if one day i blow my cover i will have to move out and fend for myself.
my question is what frozen meals or quick fix meals do you recommend for a single guy?
Find yourself a woman who cooks. Mine is making pork loins as we speak. (j/k... just excited about pork loins).
Seriously, though, I've been eating spaghetti is a good bet (if it hasn't been mentioned). You may want to get yourself a good cook book designed for absolute beginners. With proper directions and definitions of EXACTLY what some cooking terms mean (simmer? never knew what it meant until I found an exact, easy to follow definition in my cookbook), it's not that hard to teach yourself some basic meals, or even more complex ones if you're feeling adventurous. I've made hamburgers, home-made macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, twice-baked potatoes... just to name a few, and with absolutely no cooking experience.
BUT BE WARY OF COOKING WITH OIL AND KNOW HOW TO PUT OUT A FIRE IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT ONE STARTS. WATER DOES NOT WORK. Had some bad experience with that...

another thread on this site is discussing the number of jehovah's witnesses killed in nazi germany ( 2000-2500), and a couple of threads have discussed the high incidence of suicide among jehovah's witnesses.
(many victims of rape, child molesting, or cruel judicial actims).
it occured to me with over seven million jws, it is likely the governing body probably has greater blood guilt than even adolf hitler.. what do you think?
The Holocaust killed between 11 and 17 million people... I doubt if the JWs made even half that.
For some reason this reminds me of a post on reddit where someone made a metric unit called Hitler to measure bloodguilt/catostrophies.
the link below is a massive collection of internet videos.
i learned of it, just today.
i wanted to share it with those who may be interested.
Thanks for the link. This'll keep me busy for a while.
