    Also a very nice Rover

    Based on a bit of Wikipedia searching the 3500s has a 3.5l v8. Not too shabby at all. Didn't check whether it was an auto or not though.

    I really wish I could read through an ingredients list without finding
    "GUAR GUM, CARAGEENAN, XANTHAN GUM, MODIFIED MILK INGREDIENTS, ARTIFICIAL COLOR & FLAVOR"

    Basically every ingredients list I read now has at least one of those :/

    Could you expand on why you don't want to see them anymore?

    Probably because most of them are pretty questionable and not particularly good for you. Especially the artificial flavors and colours, haven't seen both of those combined together in food for years.

    There is nothing inherently wrong with using artificial flavorings and colours though or any combination of both of them. Modified milk can mean a whole number of things though, for example yogurt or cream fall under that category. Once again there is nothing wrong with that group of ingredients, just that there are some ingredients within that category that may not be so good for you. However there are also lots of 'natural' ingredients that are no better.

    However imo the ingredients should contain the ingredients, not the group an ingredient belongs to. Not really sure what uk law on that is, I only check labels to see if a product contains any dead animals (which can be easier said than done sometimes).

    Carageenean in specific isn't too great for you from what I've heard. One I didn't list was silicon dioxide, which it's said to be possible to cross the blood barrier in your brain. Mmm weird ingredients :p

    SiO2 is silica.

    From Wikipedia

    If you like snorting Silica, then go worry about bronchitis and cancer and silicosis. If you don't do that, then lung issues might be a problem. The brain? Not so much it seems.

    Hmm indeed. Very reminiscent of old Metallica, but with a modern twist. I like it a lot.

    I am almost back home after my holiday in Hawes* watching Bitches** in action.

    *North Yorkshire
    **Some female sheep dogs that were awesome (there was one male too I think)


    Also, Once again screw Microsoft...
    My parents are running Windows 8.1, I try to watch an mp4 file, it opens up a fullscreen app, fine, I guess. Then it plays the first 3 seconds of the video then brings up a white screen telling me that if I want to continue watching the video I need to update the video app.

    I miss the days when bundled software actually worked on MS operating systems, even if it was not that great.
    There's an I5 4670k and GTX770 in this PC and the only way I can watch a video is to upload it to f****** YouTube.

    Edit: Turns out you can drag mp4 files onto Opera to play them

    Bought a new Steelseries Rival at Best Buy. Plug it in.

    Firmware update! Take a shower while it's updating.

    Come back and the update failed and the mouse is probably bricked.

    Plug in my old mouse to update the software.

    Other mouse bricks.

    fucking shitty usa ISP's

    i just want some AFFORDABLE fiber, is that too much to ask?

    apperently so, no google fiber (and my city isn't listed even in the considering list), no AT&T gigapower (again not even in considering), only $300/month for comcast XL gigabit pro:

    seriously, i live in california, home of some of the biggest tech companies(examples include Apple, and Tesla), and i can't even get fiber internet without paying a pretty powerful graphics cards worth of money PER MONTH (and i've read in many places that ISP's are 90%+ profit or something ridiculous like that)

    Maybe you should move to Alaska. One of the local ISPs is bragging about their new One Gig capability, though I haven't looked at the price. As an added bonus, you'll have fewer insane liberals to deal with.

    (Note, however, that this ISP is prone to random outages, though these days it happens less often and tends to get fixed faster.)

    3. Unplug it
    4. Hold the left and right click and the CPI toggle all at once
    5. Plug it in
    6. Update it, make sure it fails
    7. Unplug it
    8. Plug it in
    9. Make sure the firmware version is updated
    Now it works fine :rolleyes:
