Ok, I now have a sweet "international moving" trick for you guys.

Instead of paying UPS approximately $250/box to ship all my shit to Oz, apparently I can have United carry them ON MY PLANE for $93/unit for each box past my two normal checked bags. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. cavete terrae. -
So much for fucking progress. The boxes I bought are too big to ship via USPS, what a load of shit. Now I need to go buy NEW boxes, and REPACK EVERYTHING. FUCK. cavete terrae.

Rednecks are like the Hydra. Cut off one head, two more pop up to replace it! cavete terrae.

Waiting for a tornado? Its not really the time of year for one anymore (although they can happen this late in the season). You may have to wait a while for one to pick up your stuff and drop it off in Oz. I shall have my revenge, wiseass! YOu have some time to prepare, though. cavete terrae.

I have officially packed my first box of "Shit I need to ship to Oz" cavete terrae.

People have field-packed BASE rigs with the lines daisy-chained and accidentally jumped them that way. That's a good reason not to. You should have a bag for your rig so that it doesn't attract unwanted attention, pick up battery acid from a car trunk, etc. The space used in that bag by your rig + clothes isn't going to be appreciably different if you've packed the clothes in the rig or just beside it. So there isn't a compelling reason to do it. Well, it's going to be pretty hard to forget that my brand new canopy hasn't arrived yet, so that's not a concern... and when your rig is the size of mine, yes, it does make a difference. It BARELY clears the carryon requirements when I bareback it. I'm just wondering if clothes are going to look any different than a canopy on xray, that might cause security to raise an eyebrow cavete terrae.

is there any reason I shouldn't tightly roll a change of clothes and pack them into my dbag when I fly next week? I don't have a main canopy, and I figure I should put the space to good use, then I can close the container normally, etc. Any reason NOT to do this? cavete terrae.

Pfft. Make bustergophechideckneaealckideverwingailusharkolanine. cavete terrae.

Try putting your balls on eBay. You obviously don't need them anymore, and you might get a dollar or two for 'em. cavete terrae.

I'm so hot I'm just going to stand next to it for a few minutes. I just realised that joking aside, this is going to be my final thanksgiving for the foreseeable future. THat's an odd thought. cavete terrae.

Someone has to support the near-slave-labor in the diamond mines. We'd hate to see those mine managers go hungry. Apparently. I'm not normally a person empathic towards those in bad conditions, but that situation pisses me off. cavete terrae.
-
That really depends on what kind of diamond you buy. A high quality stone that was certified by one of the the two major groups, then you'll be better off. Something "certified" by your local jeweler? Well, good luck. Buying something from a national chain store? Well, good luck. You'll be "better off", but it's still a joke. Why anyone would still buy a mined stone is beyond me. Two diamonds at Price X. Diamond 1 is twice the size of Diamond 2, and is higher quality. Why would anyone buy Diamond 2? cavete terrae.
-
Three months of shite ads from now until Valentine's Day! Remember, to show your woman you really love her, you must buy a chunk of carbon mined by people in near-slave like conditions controlled by companies who, if they released their entire stocks of diamonds, would saturate the market and the price would drop. Also remember, it's an INVESTMENT, even though if you ever try and resell them, you'll get far, far less than you paid. I am -so- buying lab diamonds if I ever find myself in a situation fucked up enough where my SO feels she NEEDS something with diamonds. Better quality without the fucked up ethics of the cartels. (As much as I abhor the diamond cartels, their marketing really is genius. I think that's one of the reasons I hate them, actually) cavete terrae.

Isn't life great? You keep get older, those high school girls keep staying the same age! cavete terrae.

I'm just getting ready to move... I finally remembered to go buy cardboard boxes today... stop at walmart on the way home, figure I'll pack up most of my clothes. Yeah, got the boxes... FORGOT TO BUY TAPE. Fortunately, I'm giving away or selling the overwhelming majority of my possessions, so there's not that much to pack. cavete terrae.

Is it bad to honestly hope I get violently ill next Friday morning?

I don't really want to deal with the unwashed masses on Black Friday at work cavete terrae. -
You are a racist. That is racist. Can I finish, Can I finish. Ok I'm finished. Racism is execution of policy based on prejudice. I'm not executing policy, I'm just an asshole cavete terrae.

FUCK ME do you have the world famous 76 cylinder engine in your car ? Or is it an AN-2 ? I'd charge that much to replace the plugs in a 4 cylinder VW. Most asinine fucking powerplant design ever. It's actually LESS work to take off the intake manifold than it is to work around it. Why is it you have to take all VW's to the dealer to do anything to them. hmmmmmmm I think they are onto something there. I'm convinced that piece of shit knows I'm Jewish. God knows it's fucked with me every way short of actually trying to set me on fire, and I'm sure the seat heaters will have a go at that any day now. cavete terrae.

For eBay, of course! Also, warm weather all year in MELBOURNE? I missed a memo cavete terrae.

1. There's no way that is a legit bid. 2. I wouldn't buy one for myself right now. It's a Sony product, and Sony products are ALWAYS buggy when they hit the market. The PS2 was buggier than Paris Hilton's twat, and I've crashed our demo PS3 3 times... in 3 days. cavete terrae.

Oh hell, you're in Texas though. Not like it gets cold there. I'm going to leave this thread and go hate the 26 people at my store that are getting units. I hope it hails, seriously. Sleet. Wind. All that. cavete terrae.

Living on Wal-Mart McDonalds is not "easy" ... You weren't even OUTSIDE? You definitely had it easy. cavete terrae.
