In a desperate attempt to get back my love for gaming, I bought this supercomputer from NASA. However, Im just not enjoying gaming anymore, so am selling this PC to go back to my laptop. It was hardly used for games, mostly just pornography (amateur, fantasy, animal).
Someone buy it, please.
This is what is in it and what I paid.

For all these long years I've been deprived of my brothers company.
One day, long ago, I commenced my morning routine of logging on to On3 Network. But this day, things did not go as usual. 'Page does not exist'. I assumed it was just routine maintenance, so went about my day.
Days turned into weeks, weeks into years, and I fell deep into depression as I realised I would never see my friends again. Many nights I dreamt of happy nights spent around General Chat, and the great flame wars of old.
I became a drifter of sorts, floating from forum to forum, but none felt like home. Eventually I came across r/conspiracy, I had found a new home. My hatred of the US Government began to grow, as I also became heavily involved in the digital currency bitcoin. As my knowledge of politics and economics grew, I decided I would be the one to fix these atrocities. I would become New Zealand's first President.
Suddenly, I heard a whisper in the night. It was a monkey from space, floating in my window. It looked faintly familiar, and I immediately felt safe (and slightly aroused). 'We are back' it said, 'Come home'. I awoke at my computer, typing getsome.co.nz into the address bar, and found myself here.
While it is good to celebrate, we must discover who took away our home with no warning, and no chance for farewell. It is only fair that we drag them from their homes, publicly strip them naked, bound their hands, and make them squirm along the ground in an amusing fashion.
Where has everyone else been? Also, who is the hero who saved us?
So all this bs in the US has got me interested in why the US is so fucked up.
Have been doing a lot of reading of not only conspiracy nutjob sites, but also very reputable sites and the results are fairy depressing.
It all comes down to the US Federal Reserve, a PRIVATE corporation that completely controls the US economy. Like most others, I thought the word 'Federal' meant the US Federal Reserve was a government department. Nope, private bankers control the supply of money to the US. The Federal Reserve was created in 1913.
Quote
On December 23, 1913, the Federal Reserve Act, also known as the Glass-Owen Bill, was passed. The Republican controlled Senate rammed the bill through when many members of the US Congress were home for the holiday. The President, Dr. Thomas Woodrow Wilson, signed it into law one hour after being passed by the Congress! Somebody very powerful really wanted this law passed. The Federal Reserve System is an independent central bank.
Anyway, this video is very good. Watchit.
In a nutshell, it goes like this: 1945 - Bretton Woods Agreement makes the US Dollar the world's reserve currency, provided the US promises to continue to back it by gold 1971 - Because of war spending and general corruption of politicians, the US refuses to continue the agreement and defaults, making the US Dollar backed by nothing, and stealing gold from other countries 1973-1975 - US enters into agreements with OPEC nations that they will ONLY sell their oil in US Dollars and will invest excess profits in US Treasuries. In exchange, the US military is pledged to defend OPEC oil fields. This creates the era of the PetroDollar, which means the US Dollar is effectively backed by oil (not as good as gold, but better than nothing). This might be why the dollar continues to hold up against other currencies in the face of massive printing. Due to these agreements with OPEC, all oil importing countries MUST obtain US Dollars to buy oil. This creates an artificial demand for the US Dollar, making the US wealthy through force of military. It allows the US to win the arms race and Cold War. It creates artificial demand for US Treasuries, allowing the US government to borrow money and spend on wasteful projects without taxing the American people as much. It also requires the US to police the Middle East and install puppet dictators, something the people there hate and resent. 2000 - Iraq decides to stop selling oil in US Dollars and instead sell oil in Euros. Same year, the Project for a New American Century writes it's infamous "Rebuilding America's Defenses" which discusses needing a "New Pearl Harbor." Same year, George Bush Jr. "wins" presidency amid claims of fraud. 2001 - 9/11 2003 - After war drums beat and lies are told about WMD's, US invades Iraq and overthrows their government. One of the first acts is to go back to selling oil in US Dollars. 2007 - General Wesley Clark reveals that he was given a document back in 2003 showing how the US military was going to invade 7 countries in 5 years. Mid-2000's - Libya organizes a group of nations to create a competing currency backed by gold. 2011 - US wages a war by proxy against Libya, killing the leader, and one of the first acts is to install a central bank. In recent years, Iran has been working with Russia, China, and other countries to sell their oil in other currencies. The US has been plotting (yes, a "conspiracy") to overthrow the government of Iran again (first time was in 1953). Iran's closest ally is Syria. The US is trying to beat the war drums to invade Syria NOT because of chemical weapons, but to set up the attack on Iran. (The war drums against Iran have not worked, so far.) If Iran can sell oil in other currencies, other countries will follow. This will be the destruction of the PetroDollar, which is to say that all that irresponsible borrowing and money printing in the US will finally crash the currency and the economy. And if the US is able to kill off Iran, the next targets are Russia and China. In other words: World War 3.
As the new theme of the forum is "1970's, hippies, and weed", we should all change our avatars to match, so new members are not confused by our current gaming avatars.
Last week, after a hard day of deep underground mining and fighting crime, I decided to go in for a deep tissue massage. My regular lady was booked out, so booked in with some dude.
He went way too soft on my back, but then decided to go all out on my neck.
After the massage, he told me to rest for a couple of days and drink lots of water. I told him water was for pussies, and not working at least 16 hours a day was for faggots. I immediately went and chopped down a few tree's while drinking beer.
5 days later, and my neck is still sore. Its sore on the right hand side, and seems to extend all the way up over the right side of my skull. But worst of all, there is a big lump right in the middle of the soreness. This evil swine, has used his magic to inject me with a tumour.
I went back and broke down the door of the massage room, demanding answers. After extended torture he would not give me any anti-venom, so I turn to you for help.
Is there any way to get rid of this tumour, or should I simply cut it out with my combat knife?
When Mr John Internet first invented the internet, he envisioned a world where any man, woman or child could watch cat videos from across the globe. Today, we have done John proud, and clocked the internet.
Currently at sea, be home in 2 weeks and the deed can be swapped the day I get home. Unless you are willing to allow me to use the port when I return home from my voyage, in which case the deed can be transferred immediately by pidgeon mail, which will take 3 weeks to arrive.

Unsure of prices really. Will just take the best offer.
Just saw this in Dbox, and life will never be the same again. This is made for dbox. I was actually feeling sorry for the people not in dbox. You feel like you're in the friggen Jaiger.
Go to the cinema right now and watch this. I don't care if its not open, break in.
Out here in the mountains, ADSL is not available so I only get 8GB per month for $160 dollars on a 3G modem.
I'm a bit sick of paying this so wondering about switching to dial-up. The main thing I want to do is download podcasts which are are about 100mb per day.
Having not used dial up for over 10 years, would it be fast enough to download the 100mb in a day or preferably a few hours so I can download them first thing in the morning then have the computer free for browsing occasionally during the day? I really cant remember.
Actrix costs $50/month for phone line rental which includes free unlimited dial-up so could work out much cheaper if I abort my mobile calling plan as well.
I had visitors the other day who told me my clothing being covered in mud, sweat, and the blood of various animals I have conquered was offensive and suggested I 'wash' them.
After pulling them from the stream I was trying to find a way to dry them when I found this electronic drying device in a room in my house I did not know existed.
I put them in and turned it on to discover it makes a noise when turning in one direction only.
I like to keep many manly things in my house, and in particular around the clothes drying device. So its very important that there is no fire hazard. Is this terminal? Should I fix it immediately or keep using it until it completely stops working? I dont want to waste money if it will survive another 6 months. But I certaintly dont want it to go the way of the Savaday 400 or the Phillips PD-90.
I just wrote an email in gmail, which included an attachment.
I clicked send, when a popup came up and told me that there was no attachments, which was strange because I had specified in my message that a file was attached. It asked me if I wanted to attach a file before sending.
I had forgotten to attach the file.
As someone who has sent many business emails/CV's and forgotten to attach the file that the email was all about, this is a game changer.
I still cant get over it. Life will never be the same.
My dad used to use a farming computer program. It needs its license renewed annually, but 3 years ago the online payment system stopped work. The website works fine, but when you get to the part of submitting your credit card details it comes up with an error. The contact page has an email address, but he doesn't reply. It would seem he either died or wasn't making enough money and abandoned it. Still, we are trying to pay him $300 to use his program which hasn't been updated in years.
Dad would very much like to use this program. We have downloaded a trial version and I have been fiddling with it. Using a date changing program doesnt work. It says 'please use shortcuts to open the program, dont use the .exe'. If you use shortcuts it says 'it appears the system date has been changed'.
I have tried disassembling programs but they come up with gibberish.
When I was in school I used to use cracked versions of Windows. If someone can crack Windows, surely someone can crack this tiny program that no one cares about.
Are there any dark corners of the internet that offer such services?
I mean technically it was a good movie, just seemed to be missing something.
Had lots of Prometheus-ish things that pissed me off. What both movies lack is a whole lot of realism in the procedures area. ie, Prometheus, multi-trillion dollar expedition and they crew it with a bunch of useless fuckwits who hate each other.
In Star Trek, enter warp speed AS SOON AS THEY UNDOCK FROM THE SPACE STATION. I mean for fuck sake. How about:
a) Radio calls to the space station confirming cleared course and cleared for takeoff b) Maintain some kind of sensible speed until engine is warmed up, systems are checked and you are a safe distance from the space station unless, you know, the FUCKING SHIP EXPLODES WHEN YOU HIT WARP DRIVE? c) Radio call to space station confirming no inbound traffic and cleared to enter warp speed
This sort of shit really ruins the immersion for me and pulls me right out of the movie. You would never enter warp speed immediately after undocking the station. FUCK.
Why does the SHIP CAPTAIN ALWAYS GO DOWN ON THE HIGHLY DANGEROUS FOOT MISSIONS. WHY DOESN'T HE SEND A SQUAD OF MARINES. HES THE FUCKING CAPTAIN.
Why does Spock go into the volcano to detonate the cold fusion bomb? SEND A FUCKING PROBE, WE ALREADY HAVE THEM IN 2013. GOING INTO A VOLCANO IS ALWAYS, ALWAYS GOING TO BE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS.
HOW DOES ENTERPRISE SUDDENLY GET INTO EARTH GRAVITY, LAST YOU TOLD US WE WERE 230,000 MILES AWAY WITH NO ENGINES.
My Peugeot Gti6 is badass, but it has a serious flaw- no drink holders.
This means I have to hold my beer in between my legs whilst driving, which gives sub optimal sperm development and limits my chances of producing successful offspring.
I dont like the shitty ones at Supercheap auto. Does anyone have any ideas?
