Then you pretty much saved the same amount of money, or close to it. Smart move, hope you enjoy it. Titanfall is pretty damn epic.
Word of warning though. Those chat adaptors are crap, you may go thru a few of them before they'll work. I went thru 3 of them before the controller update would take. Even after the update my controller ran into disconnect issues. Hopefully you won't go thru the same. I'm still working with Xbox Support and Turtle Beach on solving these issues.
Hand cream = Vaseline.
Bag = Lowepro flip side 400
Ugh. I should have probably went to bed instead of posting last night. My bad.

No sweat. I wasn't sure if you were being ironic!
It got plenty of use today (including the rain cover!).
Tried my "Executive" for the first time today. Six blades help. Super smooth/close shave. The Shave Butter is great too!
It was reference to a member hating on BMWs in the Picture Car Thread. I love the car. Modded it just enough to be different.
Getting ready for the new Mustang to come in:
Ford Racing Shelby GT500 axleback exhaust, to be put on at delivery:
Lloyd's embroidered floor mats (advertised as dark charcoal and came dark charcoal, a little disappointed they aren't just straight up black like the ones I had for my old Mustang but oh well):
Matching Lloyd's embroidered trunk mat (rolled up because I'm lazy):
Craven Speed stubby antenna:
Metro Blaster Sidekick 1.3 horsepower, 18,000 cubic feet per minute car blow dryer:

Well, the absinthe arrived, and it became obvious that I desperately needed more absinthe spoons for my collection. The reason that I needed them...
On to the tasting...absinthe is a kind of push-pull situation. The thujone (a GABA blocker for those who care), by blocking the GABA receptor sites, renders the neuron much more easily excited, as GABA lowers excitation threshold, and the thujone blocks the GABA uptake, so you have a stimulant effect.
The very high alcohol content (usually 50%-70% alcohol by volume...that's 100-140 proof) has a depressant effect, and additionally causes cognitive and behavioral disinhibition.
The subjective effect is feeling the alcohol effect from the neck down...very physically relaxed. From the neck up there is a clarity of mind not associated with an alcohol buzz. So I felt very relaxed, but clearheaded.
All in all...a very pleasant experience!

The spoons are part of the absinthe preparation ritual. The absinthe (1 oz) is poured into the glass. The spoon is placed across the mouth of the glass and a sugar cube is placed on the spoon. Then ice water is slowly drizzled over the sugar, melting it into the absinthe. Usually about 3-4 ounces of water is added, giving a 3-4:1 ratio of water to absinthe.
There are many different kinds of absinthe, with many different tastes, although the taste of anise is usually dominant.
Interesting…the times I had it it was just a straight shot out of the bottle, lol.
While one can drink it neat, using the absinthe ritual, or in mixed drinks...I'm surprised that it was served straight up in an absinthe bar (unless you requested it) as, it is my understanding, it is considered "improper" by serious absintheurs to forgo the ritual.
I can understand that the taste was,,,ah,,,nasty, as both the dilution with water and the sugar help reduce the nastiness.

Thanks, only other plans are to tint and maybe lower the car a bit down the road.
No issues here with the adapter, except I thought I could use my beats by Dre, but they only work for game audio, the mic does not work for chat, looking at maybe getting the xbox one headset...
