What's on your mind today?

Crow bait?

Yeah, I'm wondering what could be used as bait.

Crow bait?

He was spotted down at the beach harassing the tourist as usual.

Heheheh, excellent GIF! I'd like to think our Crow is above such things, but then . . .

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that's a raven.

Did a scarily easy* "restore to factory settings" on my old Lenovo laptop. It is now ready to be traded-in.

*"Scarily easy" in that it was only a three step process. It took about three hours, so not a speedy process.

Is Lenovo good? I was deciding whether to get one of those because they're generally within my budget, but settled for an pricier Acer instead. Time will tell whether I regret that decision.

Is Lenovo good?

Nope. Cheap and cheerful. Those sold here tend to have the worst material quality of all mainstream laptops, for starters. Also, they are not that great at pretty much anything.

My Lenovo desktop only lasted two years, and I didn't even use it that much. It was cheap, so I got what I paid for.

Ok, I had a feeling I wouldn't regret the decision.

Added to blacklist for future reference.

I now have a Toshiba Satellite Radius with a 15.6-inch 1920 x 1080p touch-screen, harmon/kardon speakers, an i7 processor with 8 gb of RAM and a 1 TB hard-drive. It is an awesome machine. Unfortunately, it makes working on the unresponsive machines at work all the more frustrating.

Ha!
The computer I'm using right now is sooooo old that buying a Toshiba Satellite Radius with a 15.6-inch 1920 x 1080p touch-screen, Harmon/kardon speakers, an i7 processor with 8 gb of RAM and a 1 TB hard-drive--would be, for me, like going from a 1974 Ford Pinto to a 2015 BMW. 

Hopefully you can get something better soon.

Well, right now I feel like those people who drive an old car, and someone says to them, "Hopefully you can get something better soon." And to make themselves feel better they reply, "Yeah, well, you know...it takes me where I need to go." That's how I feel about my computer right now: "Yeah, well, you know...it takes me to the Happy Atheist Forum...so...everything's cool."

As the hunter on the forum I can inform you all that that is in fact a raven.
And the best way to lure in crows is to put up a fake owl. For some reason crows hate owls and will gather in great murders (that is what a flcok of crows is called, by the way) to chase them off. That is when the hunter can start picking them off.

Seems like a pity to shoot them though, they're such intelligent animals.

Next Monday morning I have to present a project in front of a judging commission, and already I feel like a bundle of nerves. Forget butterflies, it feels like I've got a freaking panicky pigeon wreaking havoc in my stomach. I'll only have 20 minutes (10 minutes to present and 10 for questioning) but it'll probably be the longest 20 minutes I've experienced in a while.

So I just agreed to meet a guy for coffee tomorrow. Didn't find out until after I said yes that he is super religious. Coupled with the fact that I don't really want to go anyway I will have to try to keep my face from doing this

Show up with a colander on your head.

Don't tempt me.

This whole experience has made me realise that I just need to learn to say no. I am so not used to people paying any attention to me so as soon as they do I get super uncomfortable and just say yes to get them to leave me alone. I feel like this is a terrible way to deal with people but I feel so guilty letting someone down. UGH I don't know how to adult.
