True, I don't know the fact that we can print organic matter is great but also creeps me out that we can do it already.  Now if only we had a renewable energy source.

Next thing you know, they'll be working on a way to create an organic female body with the Girlfriend-Maker Pro.

I can see the Japanese market salivating already. I can also see it in my sig!

[Sakura Leic]

Plz no, I would rather not think about robot sex slaves......again.

[Quickman]

3D-printed robots...

Hmmm... Cheap(er) 3D-printed animatronics...

WHY AM I THINKING ABOUT BUILDING ROBOTS?! D:

Again?

[Sakura Leic]

Again.

Argh, my nose won't stop running.  Didn't really bank on getting much sleep tonight, anyway, because I keep hearing Freddy's little jingle, and I'm going to be jumping at every strange noise, and I should block my closet door.  My werewolf costume has wicked-nasty teeth and could take a chunk out if it wanted to.

Meep. 

[Phi]

Again.

Oh... Oh God, that...

I think I sneezed twice just now.

I keep calling my Nexus 7 an "iPad", by mistake, whenever I tell people about it.

Perhaps I should just say "tablet", to make things easier.

[Quickman]

Woke up with my nose nothing but snot and snot smeared all over my face, and now it's all clogged up and my head feels all clogged up.

I swear, if I'm getting sick again, someone will pay.

Okay this is just plain bizarre, the price of one of my books seems massively screwed up from the last time I checked it, I'm pretty sure it didn't cost thousands of dollars last I checked.

At least my school didn't seemed to buy that bullshit.

That's just... wow.  Textbook prices are ridiculous as it is.

I was going to buy some used textbooks at the college bookstore, until I saw the prices.  I'd like to get some used textbooks, but I don't want to spend $80 on one.  That's ridiculous. 

And student debt is scary.  Ringman's loans have a 30% interest rate, so he's mostly paying off just the damn interest!  The only way I could start paying off my loans was to allow them to default so I could start paying off the loan itself and not just the interest.  Doing that ruins the hell out of your credit, but it was my only viable option due to my low income.  I'll still be paying them off for years to come, as will Ringman.

[Sakura Leic]

I'm very fortunate my mom can pay for my tuition without loans. 

And I swear that's a massive error with decimal points because the list price on the site I use to compare prices was at $39.99 and a used book at my school is the same price with a rental at $15.  How it happened with 3 separate sites I have no idea.

[irgpie]

One of my textbooks was available as an ebook and I'm seemingly still getting charged $20 shipping for it. Post-secondary is a [tornado fang]ing scam.

[Sakura Leic]

That sucks.

....HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

[Sakura Leic]

The only logical explanation I have is international shipping.  I'm surprised you didn't ask that about my book.

[irgpie]

That's just what the site said. It still needs to process my order but it added shipping to the total regardless without giving me any option not to.

[Protoman Blues]

College textbooks are such a scam.

[Sakura Leic]

Especially ones that come with access keys that only last at max a year and at least a semester.

[Quickman]

I have Lightwave 3D still, along with the dongle for it.  The problem is i can't install it on another computer, as the dongle is needed for it to work, and it will only work on the first system it's installed on.  So, I have a program I can't use and a dongle that only works on my old computer, and that was before I reformatted it.

So, it's useless.

It's also one of the reason why my student loans were huge.

THANKS COLLEGE.

[Sakura Leic]

Oh god thanks to Brainscratch Comms I'm not imagining that the Wily Machine in Megaman 3 was actually a knitting machine meant to knit a giant sweater for Gamma......
