My mystery balisong trainer came in the mail today. It has a laser engraved design on a golden blade. My brothers trainer was just like this, but blue.

I heard gaming laptops aren't worth it for school
Will having a gaming laptop allow you to type 1000 word documents more easily than a $300 el cheapo? Not really. Indeed unless your school work includes complicated 3d modelling, complicated video editing (my near 15 year old core2 setup with a couple of gigs of RAM can do school level 3d modelling just fine, would chug if I needed to do a modern 1000 part assembly and run all the analysis on it, similar story for video editing) it is not going to make a lot of odds.

The main downside will tend to be that gaming laptops were once known as desktop replacements and tend to be a lot heavier. The upsides will be that you can play a lot more modern games and that they tend to be built slightly better than the $300 el cheapos, though I have seen my share of gaming grade laptops designed and built by drunken interns (alienware do some things right but some things less so).

Welp, got an LCD cable for a laptop that I assumed was an issue with the display, but it turns out it's actually the screen itself, so now I've bought a replacement screen.


EDIT: Also ordered a replacement charger for my Surface Book, cuz my cat decided to chew on mine, and also ordered a faucet water filter.

I'll be to watch porn, play Overwatch, and take notes at the same time.

Who cares? It's not your money so don't worry about it.

Pre-cut battery wraps. 18650 and AA size. Few of my 18650 are old and have damaged wrapping, got a couple of AA as well that aren't looking too nice either.



On the battery.
