That's how I justify going for the Nexus 7 lol. TBH I want the iPad, but like I said, it's too heavy, and the iPad Mini is still an outlier and unknown for me. And I don't like being an early adopter. Besides, it'll be updated with a better screen next iteration so it's better to wait until then to see if Ipad Mini took off.

If Once the iPad mini gets a retina screen I'll be jumping on it. My major complaint with the iPad is that it's too big and heavy. Holding it in one hand for an extended period is a pain.

Yeah, even though I already own an iPad, I'm considering the N7, especially if I can get a good black Friday sale on it.
The iPad is pretty heavy, but the retina display really makes it unrivaled for reading books and stuff.
I want to try android as well since I have my Gnex with lots of games that are too awkward to play on the phone screen.
Also, ever 17 and planetarian can be played on android as well.
And there's lots of goofy Japanese games, like three third person shooters based off madoka, and a strip rock paper scissors game I found in the play store.

Geass seems like a long series at 50 episodes, but you start watching it and suddenly your halfway through the second season on the same day!

My life ain't structured that way bruh, I have at most 2 hours of anime viewing a day. The rest is school, homework, screwing off on this thread, and now going to the hospital and filling out college/scholarship forms. To say the least my life is freaking busy right now. Personally I'm amazed I've continued to reserve those 2 hours this far into the year. Not sure how long it will continue though. Especially with video game season ramping up, and a bunch of other random school/life related extras.

@bowei, I didn't even mean to say it like that, but it's pretty damn funny reading that pun again :P

I have time warner which I think is with AT&T?

 

 

Okay then yeah it is a bandwidth issue.  Especially with time warner, who are known for throttling bandwidth if they suspect you are torrenting (i.e. massive download and higher upload than is normal for normal usage).  Easiest solution would be to stop torrenting when you are reading manga or are on a manga site, should prevent that reset, and just start up your torrent client after that. Another option would be use a VPN or tether a phone connection or different connection. Or change providers.

 

There may be ways to circumvent their checker but I am unsure of how precisely since it was never a huge issue for me (either turned off torrents) or tethered, usually tethering.

 

Hope that will help a little.

That noodle was spicy by the way. My hometown is 300km away from Vietnam border and also has some laos inspiration so yeah, spicy stuff.

 



That doesn't look very appetizing, but I see you had fun with it.

I personally prefer sweet noodles over spicy. I really like spicy food, but not noodles. My favorite spicy cuisine is the Indonesian. They can make some godlike food.

I had endive stew. One of the very few dishes relatively unique to the Dutch, and it tastes epic.

I shared it on my FB, look at it now!

I don't quite see the resemblance, but oh well.

If anything, he looks more like me. I have approximately the same hair style (and color, though his is bleached), and except for the mustache, I have the same type of beard as well.

Graphs picture I posted on facebook (shared) looks like the icchi the killer one I have above. Graph actually is more yankee looking than one may have expected.

Naw man, I look more like a yankee than he does. I've got a chin curtain, while he doesn't have any facial hair.

I'm never going to run SolidWorks on Parallels desktop again....

it's a total nightmare..... (bowei, you can try this.)

So anyway, I'm just going to use the software that outputs the manufacturing plots directly
(i.e. controls machines like CNCs, Laser Cutters etc.) It's a 2D design software.
but then....


FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. WHERE'S THE MAC SUPPORT???
THERE ISN'T ONE!

I don't have a PC and don't want to run parallels....

*giggle*

I wasn't referring to the smoke. I was referring to his mustache. Look at his mustache, how can that mustache not be a mustache?

@Tilpo

Right... I missed that because I was too preoccupied by that steam...
Do you just leave your beard or you shave it frequently?

 

@B-Dawk

OKAERI! Been a while I saw you here

Like I said, I have a chin curtain. Leaving it without doing anything would turn it into a full beard, which I don't want.

I regularly shave and groom my beard.

I usually shave after a month LOL. Because after shaving, I look younger. Plus, my beard grows fast and I'm too lazy to shave frequently
