Coolaboratory liquid guarantees run cooler

I've seen mixed results.  Coolaboratory only really seems to be better if you have a lapped sink from the reviews I've seen.

Yesterday, my sister bought a Chromebook by mistake thinking it was a PC capable of running Word.
I am not calling my sister dumb. She's just didn't know that Chromebook wasn't just another PC branding. Not everyone is a geek.

Apparently this does happen quite often, and that is dumb.

The chromebook in general is not a bad buy. My wife got one and she loves it.

I bought a Chromebook Pixel when they came out. Typing on it now. Not a bad laptop, really, but I often question whether I should have spent a bit more and gotten a Macbook Pro instead.

I love my magnetic putty.  Have 5 lbs of the stuff to remind myself of happy play times.

I agree that they are not bad ... if you know what you are going to get.

The putty was probably the most fun.

The butterfly in a jar was really stupid. They photoshopped out the wire in the videos but it's painfully obvious in person and gets stuck often.

The chameleon thing was meh. Didn't color match well.

I got a BBQ sear imprint from them and it didn't work.

I resold everything for pennies on the dollar.

I made one of the best purchases in my life from ThinkGeek:



Flux Capacitor USB Car Charger

[jd29]

Hmm. I spent $15 on a bottle of benzoyl peroxide that I later found out isn't a particularly good idea for darker skin. Still waiting on the horrific dark spots covering my face to go away. I pretty much stayed locked up in my dorm throughout freshman year already.

Also, I just spent nearly $200 on a set of keycaps. Keycaps! How preposterous is that

That's a lot for one set!

Maybe you could come up with a new recipe for retr0bright, based on benzoyl peroxide.

I have used benozyl peroxide-based acne cream on leather items to make "highlights" where they will look worn.

The only effective treatment (age 13-21) for acne is Large volumes of exercise, followed by SPACED-out-intake of all your Refined carbohydrates.

The cause of acne comes from WITHIN,   the creams might help a bit,  but it does not treat the source of the problem..


Also, avoid hormonal treatments at all cost, it's really bad for you, and probably gives you cancer.

I just bought a bunch of artisan-cap making supplies. I feel like this is going to be an expensive disaster. My fiance isn't going to like it either.

I told myself I was out of the vintage board game but I just got lured in again :-/
