[QUOTE=Protocol7;52526909]Well yeah, I figured, but if you switch it to the status ID then you'd have all the information you need to pull up the tweet on Twitter right there.
IDK I never watched Eva so it's probably not stylistically the same with the status ID, just figured it might make more sense since that way every tweet you pull up has a unique "episode ID".
Probably thinking too much about something you probably whipped up in a half hour though :v:[/QUOTE]
Well, Eva just has actual episode numbers there :V
The tweet id would make more sense, but like you said, I just made this barebones as hell for the sake of it
fun fact, because i do not sanitize tweets at all (i didn't even bother with proper templating for this), there's without a doubt an xss in this
[QUOTE=wingless;52526497]I dunno, they both sound like they're trying to appeal to a middle-school demographic to me. And yeah, if only they could have stuck with Opteron. But there's no way they could have at this point and that's okay.[/QUOTE]
Well we do have a new generation of IT professionals coming out of post-secondary right now, including myself at 23. A notable product name could give them all the edge in advertising and word of mouth, especially if it's a better product than the competitor. And from what rumors and specs are saying, Threadripper is a great name because it looks to blow the pro-sumer Xeons out of the water imo.
[QUOTE=Greetings;52526544]Slacko Puppy should work well and is fairly recent. Actually ran it on a laptop with 256mb RAM and a shitty Celeron. SliTaz also works amazingly, but the community isn't as big as Puppy's. Actually just stuck another 256mb in and am installing Lubuntu right now, but here's the distros that worked for me:
SliTaz
Slacko Puppy
Lucid Puppy
ToriOS
DebianDog
TinyCore
Of course, old distros like DSL and Feather Linux work, but not worth using at this point.[/QUOTE]
The problem with newer versions of Puppy Linux is getting the x server to work with the Mobility rage M1 graphics on this, the dekstop will show up for a few seconds before kicking me back to the terminal with the "If you can read this, x isn't working" message. It works on wary 5.5 so I just use that.

I suppose admitting it and choosing to forgo a credit card is better than ignoring it and going into massive debt :v:
I mean, just getting a $500 limit credit card can't really get you in any trouble

I applied for a $500 one and they gave me $1,000 for no reason and soon after upped it to $1,500 lmao.
Maybe my credit union is nice enough to just give me what I ask for

I got $20,000 in student loans, $5000 on my car, and $4200 on my credit card to pay off.
I got three paycheck holidays (vacation, three pay month, Christmas commission) that will fully pay off my car and credit card. Student loans I hope to have a new job to support paying that off.

wait don't send help i don't want more loan
Man I don't get this loan culture in the US at all. I have a few creditcards but they equalize at the end of every month and the only loan I've ever taken was a 0% interest financing option so I could pay for the Vive a month later just because it was an option.
I also don't understand how your banks can give you bigger spending limits than you ask for, I'm eligible for several thousand euros on my bank accounts and cards (And since banks can't check how many banks have given you an overdraft limit, you can get your highest possible on every account), but I don't need or want it (fuck debt) so I have like 300 € max pretty much anywhere and that's just so I can use a card in case a transfer doesn't come in fast enough.
1,2k for a motherboard, I'm in! Not.

Easy, our culture encourages debt, and the economy really revolves around it. You [i]cannot[/i] attend higher education without some sort of loan unless your parents are fairly well off or you get extremely lucky with grants and a scholarship. Home ownership is common, but another loan for a couple decades. Want a new(ish) car? Time to take out another loan! It goes on. Your credit score is literally an evaluation of how well you manage your debts, and even can affect [i]non-debt[/i] related aspects of your life. Its is probably the oldest form customer tracking.
Student loans are what really kill. If I really land on hard times, I can always get rid of the car. Student loans are unforgivable for obvious reasons. They are also much higher payments for a much longer amount of time, over [i]10[/i] years rather than 3 or 4. They also happen at the beginning of your career, when you don't make a lot of money yet making them harder to pay off early.
Then credit card companies raise your limits to encourage you to use them more. Its not as sinister as you think. Interest is nice, but credit card companies do not like people who are high in debt. It increases the chances of you going bankrupt and them eating the bill. Their favorite customers are the ones that can afford to pay their bills each month.
Instead, they want the transaction fees from the businesses you buy from. Those few cents here and there don't seem like much but with millions of transactions every day, they add up.

Hence why at some places, you see it being cheaper to pay in cash rather than debit or credit card due to the fees associated with them. However, most places don't have this difference and paying with either will result in the same cost for you.

FYI your interests are still being accumulated even if you're not required to pay yet. You're playing with fire here
We have a similar thing here in Canada (also depending on the province you live in, etc.) for OSAP where if you don't make x amount, you don't have to pay the interest for your student loan. The government does, and you can apply for this repayment assistance every 6 months, and keep on applying for it for several years. Hopefully by then, you'd start making enough to actually start paying it, or be able to pay it off all in one go.

But you're still paying compounding indexation, which is still making your debt grow annually.
I'm not going to read through the complete terms of the Australian student loans, but I'm quite sure there are other limitations in place in order to prevent borrowers from indefinitely delaying mandatory payments.

It's indexing, so it increases at the same rate as cost of living (about 1-2% a year)
Also it's paid back through income tax once you pass a certain bracket, so the only way to get out of paying is tax fraud :v:
You repay it at either 4-8% of your income, depending on [url=http://studyassist.gov.au/sites/studyassist/payingbackmyloan/loan-repayment/pages/loan-repayment#HowMuchWillMyRepaymentsBe]your tax bracket[/url]

This is one of the few times I can say I'm glad that I live in Brazil I guess. Not having to pay for higher education makes my naturally occuring anxiety a little bit softer.

That is already practically assured for me being in the UK, looking at potentially £60K worth it for my four years last time I did a rough calculation. But hey I'll get more than a bit drunk every now and again and get to move far away from home so I'm happy.
Best (only) benefit to not going to school is no student debt
I've been one of the lucky ones, my student loans are currently sitting at 4k and should hopefully stay that way if I get some help from the OVR.
I went to a cheaper uni and only had to pull out a loan twice. Totalling $6000 in debt and my payments kick in sometime next year.
Though my $9k in credit card debt and $19k car loan aren't exactly small debts either.
Proud to be an American! :toot:
