For the record, I’d like to state that Best Buy officially sucks. I don’t mean in merely a polite soda-straw slurping suck, I mean in a massive vortex-of-doom cosmic sense of sucking. Think about how bad Real Networks sucks, then multiply that suckage by a million.
Best Buy’s scam is that they supposedly charge a little less than their competitors. Suppose you purchase something for $200. When you get to the register, they push this ‘’service plan” of an extra $40. This obviously jacks the price up far more than their competitors’ prices. Now, if you don’t purchase their service plan, and your purchase breaks after 1 month, tough. Their stupidly stringent policy denies you any refund, exchange, or repair. You will not get your money back, or be able to return the broken device.
I hate Wal-Mart as much as the next guy, but in this case, I’d much rather pay an extra few bucks and be guaranteed that I could return a defective product.
When did Shelli make her own site, and why wasn’t I paged?
Hey kids! You too can meet hot sexy time travellers!
On June 30th, 1908, the Tunguska Blast flattened a whole lot of Siberian Taiga. On August 13, 1930, a blast at Rio Curaca in Brazil wipes out hundreds of square miles of jungle. On December 11th, 1935, a blast in the Rupununi region of British Guiana may have even been more devastating than the Tunguska Blast itself. Here is a list of impact events through history.
Props to Matt for the original statement and research.
In case you live under a rock, Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction was released today, two days early.
I won’t be sleeping for a few days, I suspect.
I’ve had a few requests for clarification of the little numbers beside the sidebar links, and the differences between the sidebar boxes.
The numbers reflect the number of times someone has clicked through to a linked page. At the end of the month, I sort links based on that number, highest to lowest. This is error prone and assumes a number of things: that I’m the only person who reads my page, thus moving the links I read most closer to the top, and that people are honest. If you want, you can smack that link a hundred times, and load up the numbers. Since I’m a mean bastard, I can also just edit the file back down to zero. It’s not that big of a deal. ![]()
[I say this because I KNOW that Daniel spends the 30th of the month running a script that constantly hits his link. I just KNOW it. But that's ok, cos I left spiders in his bathroom.]
The different subsections are pure egoboost. Rules are as follows:
In order to join the esteemed ranks of Minion of Unxmaal, you must:
Send me email swearing Eternal MinionitudeTM
If you have your own webpage, please add a link to Unxmaal.com. I must specify that this link be on your main page, not on a separate “Links” page or dropdown box. If you’d like, use one of the banners located here.
Again, if you have your own webpage, please add a link to no less than two other Minions. I must specify that this link be on your main page, not on a separate “Links” page or dropdown box. I’m sure they will return the favor.
Pages in this category are pages that A. I like, and B. have linked back to me. Yup, total ego slut. These are people that I’d really like to be Minions, but have never asked.
Pages in this category are pages that A. I like, and B. have never linked back to me (for which they shall perish in flames!). It is true that some people have page designs that don’t support links on the main page. My page design doesn’t support linking to people who don’t reciprocate. Also, links in Linkfodder will eventually go away, being replaced with other interesting sites, all in a vain hope of finding more
people who’ll assuage my petty ego and link my stupid little page.
Hope this answers your questions!
