The father of a family on my street had a heart attack this morning and died. A good man was lost from this world, but now there's one more angel in paradise.

On the other hand, Freelancer was a wonderful, complex space game from many years ago yet still plays well today, and it has lots of good mods. Getting one of the pirate very heavy fighters and loading it with codename weapons is a blast. 

>Trade Bonk! For bread

>Teleport bread

>Take corpses of Bonk Bros

>Throw three against the shelf of Saxxies

>Take the new golden corpses to trade for other stuff later

>Throw the last corpse against the mysterious private door until it opens

That case is just like my desktop model's!

In the play I'm in, Pippin, there is a duck. It is no ordinary duck, though. While most ducks quack, this one croaks.

In a turn of events, my elementary school bros unknowingly caused Windows 10 to be installed on the family laptop. I'm not sure if they clicked on the popup or if it was included in an update, but now we have to deal it.

I didn't pay close attention to anything that was said about it before, but is there anything that I should do to optimize our experience? 

It uses the phrase "such as," which implies more than what is listed.

Although, I don't see them in the rather specific list including links below that, so I think you are right, unless more is planned in an upcoming update/DLC.

I have a feeling that, if Trump is elected, not much will be accomplished, good or bad. I have a feeling that Trump and congress will simply be butting heads constantly and cancelling each other out, resulting in little change. Many people might support him, but that doesn't mean too much.

Phew!

It's been a rather eventful few weeks, and quite a while since I last posted.

Region Drama was a blast. Our one act, Fully Committed, took first by a LANDSLIDE, let me tell ya. Several of our actors (and our foley artist) got special awards for it. In the way of Individual events (Comedic/Dramatic monologues, Classical/Contemporary scenes, musical theatre, and pantomime), only 2 of our 24 groups didn't qualify for state. Me and my partner doing a contemp scene, from Controlling Interest, qualified, and we are all well-pleased. Our scene was even selected to be the one presented in the school's art assembly. State Drama starts Thursday!

Prom is at the end of this month, and I asked a girl out on her birthday a few days ago. She said yes, and we're happily planning.

A day later, I got my learner's permit. I still have yet to start driving, though. Insurance, learning the basics of actual driving, and all that.

I also put in a job application for Weed Man, a lawn care and fertilization company. I hope to be part of their customer outreach team that goes to potential customers' houses to explain our services and provide estimates. I'm hoping that it will provide me with a decent base for other careers, as well as give me some good communication skills. I'll need this to pay for Prom, if I can start working soon and if I can't get enough paid-in-full referrals to get a free tux or suit rental at Men's Warehouse. 

Statistically, according to that, Doop, I should be the only person in the US with my name. However, some quick Google searches have proved that to be far from the truth.

I recently realized that I will be just old enough to vote in this presidential election.

However, I don't know who I ought to vote for.

Trump is a stupid jerk. I expect him to cause nothing (which is bad) or nothing good to happen in congress during his term.

Hilary seems to be part of an evil agenda. Lobbyists already have too much power.

Bernie seems crazy. I don't trust him to make good decisions.

I've heard that Cruz is like Trump, but smarter and, therefore, worse.

I don't know a thing about any other candidates.

Argh. I am reminded of how I have never been to Disneyland.

Tomorrow, I take the ACT. I hope I've prepared well.

On Thursday, I go in to take the Learner's Permit test. Eee.

Next on the list: Robert Downey Jr.

This subject is part of my English class, currently.

We've been reading 1984, paying attention to the lack of privacy that people have.

We've been discussing potential outcomes of either side getting their way.

If the government gets its way, then this and other potential terrorist threats are lessened or eliminated, but it sets a dangerous precedent that has potential (of debatable probability) to start turning the US into Oceania, with a Big Brother government. A potentially exploitable back door would exist, which could introduce hacker problems.

If Apple gets its way, then that's avoided, but terrorists will have a sanctuary with Apple devices, and with the attention this subject has been getting, and knowing how terrorists generally work, they are almost certain to take advantage of it.

We've been looking at this article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/us-wants-apple-to-help-unlock-iphone-used-by-san-bernardino-shooter/2016/02/16/69b903ee-d4d9-11e5-9823-02b905009f99_story.html

As well as this letter from Apple to its customers (making sure to pay attention to the use of rhetorical devices: The diction, the tone, the appeal to emotion, the appeal to logic, etc. because this is AP Language): http://www.apple.com/customer-letter/

We've been assigned to write a 2 paragraph response where we pick a side, and I'm still unsure. However, I think I'm leaning more towards the government's side.

For the first time, I have experienced having a foot fall asleep. I was internally freaking out for a moment, with things going through my head that translate to, "WHERE IS MY FOOT? I DON'T FEEL IT! THE LOWEST PART OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BODY THAT I FEEL IS NOT ON THE FLOOR! I NEED TO LEAN FORWARD TO MAKE IT REACH THE GROUND, BUT IT WON'T GO ANY FURTHER! NOW I'M ABOUT TO FALL! QUICK, LEFT LEG, SAVE ME! (Repeat)"

Today in Utah: A sunny morning, then a windy rainstorm, followed by snow, ending with clear sunniness. 

Wait, you lose armor if the soldier wearing it dies? Even if you complete the mission? 

Would it even be shut down? Is the court not allowed to opperate without nine members? Could they rotate through seven members, a different one sitting out each case, to continue avoiding ties?

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

I consider myself punsexual.

Brutal.
