All topics unimportant enough to not create a thread for

So... finished reading the entire list of AZ comics again (in less time) and thought to myself, I should take the drawing elective next semester.

So the list of 10th grade electives consists of: The Next Computer Elective, Drawing 1, Personal Online Fitness 1, and 2.

Hoping I get Drawing first semester so I can be an extra week ready for 24-hour Comic Day (AZ style, of course) in October.

Honestly, stopping on an icy hill is more dangerous than not stopping. Trying to get that traction back is a window of opportunity for a lot of things to go wrong.


Put a bag of cat litter in your trunk, and maybe a shovel. If you ever start spinning your wheels, get a load of cat litter under them to give yourself some traction.

And don't get studded tires. Studs are good only for ice--in slush and normal snow, they make things WORSE. And they tear up the roads.

Yea I knew stopping was bad but my coworker didn't and I wasn't sure if I could get around her or not so I stopped too. Probably would have slid all the way down the hill if those guys hadn't told me what to do. Luckily the roads are a lot better today.

And that cat litter tip is pretty good, I'll do that. And I think studded tires are illegal in my state so they're not an option for me anyway.

Another tip. Avoid braking and turning at the same time. Do one, not both.
If you start sliding while braking, release the brakes until you roll again. This goes for ABS brakes as well. You need traction to brake and when you are sliding you will just keep going.

Haha I learned that one from when I nearly slid off the road once when it was raining. Started taking a turn and felt like I was going a bit fast so I tapped my brakes. Went all over the road. I was lucky no one was coming the other way.

I was unsure if I could talk about this in the first place a while, but is it a bad thing if the boxer shorts I get in size Large is shorter than my extended wiener?

I'll take this reply down if it is too weird, but I find it odd that the size Mediums from a few years back fit WAY more comfortably.

Dude what?
Just get clothes that fit.
And don't talk about your genitals on the internet.
These are the two most important life lessons you will ever learn.

What if I need everyone to know about my magnum dong

My E drive has apparently decided that, while it can recognize the fact that there is indeed data on it, I can't access anything from it. So that's fun. I need to find a way to like, connect 2 drives together and move all the data to a new one or something, because my E drive is the important one.

My school district has randomly decided to close due to snow, when the snow has already tapered off, and is expected to stop entirely by noon. I was expecting a delay from the 6-ish inches of snow that the plows fell behind on, not a complete closure. Only thing I can think of is that they're expecting so many accidents that half the busses won't be able to run their routes until afternoon anyway. I know it was pretty squirrelly driving home last night (nothing plowed, no visible lanes on the freeway), and the same degree of powdery, slippery snow is expected late tonight through tomorrow morning. Oh boy.

In the meantime, time to enjoy an unexpected day off and have Sloth make waffles!

idk man, telling people about your extended wiener is an important thing. How else will you let females with good birthing hips know that you're a good mate?

Try a live Linux distribution (like Puppy Linux or whatever) and see if it can read your drive.

I tried to give my cat liquid medicine tonight after a visit to the vet

I'm not sure how much of the medicine actually got inside her, though...

she spat out a good amount even when I thought she'd swallowed.

It suddenly came back once I rebooted it for a different reason, which I'm not complaining about but don't trust.
Anyone got any good PC backup programs/services? Don't really want to run the risk of losing everything again.

So the new coworker turns out of be a massive jaclaws who treated my other coworker like shit, she's been having trouble raising her kid, and just got through her kid having a bad sickness. I yelled at him to quit, and he just stared at me with a punchable smile on his face. He then asked "oh shit is this for real?"

Dickweed better watch his fucking tone or so help me..

Also yes, my manager knows about this, hopefully this will get settled.
