I THINK it might be called fleece when it's on the animal still. (Maybe also when it's still all clumped together...)
cool, I don't know much about non-city stuff.

Ugh I don't have enough magnesium left I have to go to the store tonight.

When people talk about pill poppers this is not what they usually think.

D and DOUBLE D . . . laptop overheated in the midst of my $60 Live User Testing . . . so missed that and doubtless much more and after hours of trying there is one screw I can't move which means I can't actually get to the fan (which no doubt needs cleaning) but I've managed to get it up and running with some intermediary steps . . . D HP laptops where you have to take the entire thing apart to get to the fan . . . it's just like my Chrysler, bury the battery behind the headlight assembly and you have to remove the fender to get to it . . . curses!

First of all, massive design fault in almost all laptops. You should be able to expose and clean the radiator just like RAM or drive covers.

Second of all, use canned air or similar *high* pressure air and blow in the fan exhaust. There is usually a small radiator past the fan where dust and hair clogs - blow it back out through the fan intake.

Also when I use an old laptop I strip it and put new heat transfer material on the heatsink, but that's more than most people would do.

my periodonist said i don’t have to come back anymore because my mouth has improved enough since my first visit last year. he said just keep it up and then referred me to a general dentist. i feel sad now. i thought i would always be coming back no matter what

2 cents for about two minutes. I did one first to make sure he didn't reject and he didn't. He paid within an hour.

This is pretty much all I see today:

{"message":"There are no more of these HITs available."}
I know. Even for HITs that aren't checked in my Hit Finder as having been done before or for subjects I don't remember doing before. Must be that gaggle of requesters using the same "HIT submitted" qual when a task is completed so you can't do someone else's HIT from that gaggle.

Yep, did the canned air thing before the partial disassembly but until I got closer to the 'bones' of it it didn't work. I really need to be able to get that last screw out of the back so I can take off the keyboard, etc. and get to the fan itself to clean it thoroughly.
