Yeah, they gotta stop keeping interest rates so low, and stop easing.

Any opinions on Dodd-Frank ?

Curious what your thoughts are on anything markets, a particular and/or global economy, companies.. For those interested in something perhaps more pivotal than 1500$ jeans.

(sorry if wrong sub-forum)

I don't think I'm willing to drop 2k on a retina mac; like you said, it doesn't really look like it's worth 300 bucks more for a pretty screen. and I need something portable.

gonna get the air, thanks for the info bud

Hey guys,

I have a 2008 aluminum macbook (2.4ghz c2d, 4gb ram) which is pretty old and can be very irritating when trying to leave multiple things open at the same time (I like to leave lecture notes open in preview or ppt so I know where I left off). It often blocks and runs very choppy, and when it gets hot can make quite a lot of noise, which isn't great. approx 1h30 of battery life..

I primarily use

safari

microsoft word and powerpoint

preview

mail

itunes

vlc

should I go for

2.0ghz i7, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd macbook air for 1699$

or

2.5ghz i5, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd retina macbook pro for 1999

doesn't look like there's much of a performance difference btween the two, for me I guess it comes down to:

1: is this retina display really worth 300 bucks more + the extra bulk ?

2: are both these machines fast enough to comfortably last 3-4 years doing the stuff i do ?

3: how shitty are the speakers in the macbook air ?

^dude your pictures are half cut off, if that makes sense.

so much dank food here..

freecat your sandwish looks incredibly dope, could do with an extra layer of ham though.. good going on the cheese

Amsterdam's not that great and still very expensive (outskirts are cool)

I beg to disagree, outside of So-cal where else can you have such a wide selection of good and well-grown (well for the most part) genetics?

Yes, because I was talking about So-cal in my original post.

If you want to talk about genetics, north america is probably light years ahead of amsterdam.

same weed in outskirts of dam (or at least 80% as potent as the dopest coffeeshops found in dam, some coffee shops in dam are absolute shit) for half the price.

you sounds like an angry weed snob.. smoke a joint and relax, man.

FS: Batman Arkham City 360, disc is like new. looking to sell it for $41 shipped paypal. pm me.

it's on sale on amazon for $39.99, both versions with free shipping.

lol dick move..

Guys help me pick up in this town ! stoner-friendly users will know what I'm talking about

Amsterdam's not that great and still very expensive (outskirts are cool); we can't grow in dorms.. It's outlawed here (as it is in the states; in fact penalties are harsher in the states, at least in new york). though in ny my o costs 325 ish.. for simple possession it's a slap on the wrist here and you're good to go. So no, it's not severely restricted and there's tons of uncured 100 pound ounces going around but that is even more shit (squeeze one of those nugs it'll be drippin in water..). Everything seems to be cut and sprayed to smell like febreeze. I'm done with this bullshit.

There is so much demand and so little/crappy supply so dealers seem to think it's alright to maintain really high prices while destroying our health. I found it extremely strange when I got here.

I wish my numbers were mixed up.. But no. For the 'dankest' shit here, thats the price

Cold turkey since 2 days... stomach fucked up all day, walking around my flat smoking cigarettes all day, cringing playing fifa next to my flatmates smoking bud.. insomnia. only thing that's keeping me going is the fact that i don't hafto smoke/pay for all this cut shit up here in scotland.

right.. as a side note, fuck all of you living in the US and Canada. 350 pounds (550 us dollars) for an o of what would be generic haze in new york, while up in canada they're paying max 200 canadian dollars for dankass shit..

top 5 in my list of producers. terrible mc.

The 'lol new hip hop' sucks thing bothers me for some reason. I can't seem to stop arguing with people on the internet about it. The internet has been really good to hip-hop. There are corners of the internet for every possible niche.

Action's cool. He seems to have shown interest in stepping away from the 90's nostalgia shit some. Atleast production-wise. I saw some random performance video where he declared he's only fucking with 'wavy' beats now and denounced the '90s shit'.

Since when is new hip-hop a niche ? It is probably the most popular genre today (at least with the youth).

Action is cool. Ghostface sounds but with doper beats and flow imo

hey guys,

have any of you managed to take breaks from the bud ?

i've been smoking a lot over the summer but have managed to keep it down to a g and a half every other day..

but i'd like to stop smoking during the week, or take a break altogether, as long as i can until summer comes, to concentrate on studies and stop being lazy.

a few of my buddies have managed to do these sort of things, and i used to as well, but i'm finding it a little harder now.

what do you think

anyone going to scotland? edinburgh or st andrews?

going to class high is the shit... except when you have any sort of test having to do with maths.

i sold my magic flight launch box because i really just like smoking a joint.

are they wildely in the us just like in europe? here in france ocb's got pretty much a monopoly over rolling paper, last time i rolled/smoked with something else was maybe a couple of years ago when i found a rizla package on the street.

nah they're not at all available in the us, i wish they had a monopoly like in france cause they are the best.

^that's impossible for me. everytime i try do that, i am sitting doing my homework then tell myself "oh i might as well roll my j for later". roll it, get back to work then tell myself "i really want to smoke that joint". end up doing a quick and crappy job on my homework.

really great advice guys, what i was looking for. talked to her today, i told her its probably best we dont talk to each other anymore. she got pissed. what bothers me is i'm on vacation this coming week, dick is gone and she is here. i feel so fuckin relieved though to be honest, its like i can start fresh

need you guys to knock some fuckin sense into my dumbass head.

basically high school drama blabla:

been flirting OD with this chick (lets call her julie) since about a month or so. but ive known her since about a year. new kid (lets call him dick), comes to my school. now i've been wanting to cop this girl since a while, but i kept shit on the DL because i've learnt in the past that not keeping it on the DL fucks all my chances up. Dick makes it obvious that he wants to cop.

so basically as i get to know this chick better i realize i really really want her, bad; like no other chick ive ever met before. Dick says he wants her bad too. about a week ago, julie tells me dick tried to make a move on her but that she really wasnt down. dick tells me the opposite, that she told him it was all good, but that shes just needed a bit of time. meanwhile she flirts a lot with me.

fast forward to yesterday, where dick tells me he's goin to her empty crib, and i see she is flirting with him a lot. naturally, i'm annoyed as hell, so i keep my cool and just dont really talk to julie. she talks to me today, asks why i'm upset. i tell her she gave me all the signs to hook up with her, and that i'm annoyed she doesnt pull through. she tells me she was down before but that she didn't want to ruin the friendship (which i honestly do not give a fuck about)

that afternoon, she hooks up with dick (info from another friend but no one is supposed to know). she calls me a few hours later and is like " are you still mad at me blabla", to which i say "no but i dont want to be friends". she asks me why and i say i'll talk to her tomorrow (which is today). she then proceeds to send me some long ass texts saying shes really mad, she cant believe this is happening, etc etc

so if you had the time to read this long ass text, please tell me what to do.
