Does Sony sell an external harddrive for the PS3? 'Cause they should.
you can use any USB drive
also you can replace the internal drive with any bog standard 2.5" drive
Caveat: Your hard drive must be Fat 32 formated.

People in Jackson, my hometown, gasp when I say I want to move to Atlanta. They imagine it costing $Texas to live there.
I laugh and laugh and laugh. When my dad comes to visit I try to sneak cash into his wallet because he's a poor house painter and I know the gas down here probably makes him cry inside.
Which included a lot of stuff I had to throw out because they don't sell salt in small enough containers.
I call this "the single tax" and I fucking hate it.
No, it's the 'temporary living arrangement' tax. I can go through a grinder of salt eventually, just not in 2 months. Even with 3 other people using it as well.
Now, not being able to buy meat in sizes of smaller than a 1.3lbs...
Chop that up, add it to a box of rice-a-roni, and you have dinner for one person.
Ooh. I always wondered about that in restaurants as a kid.

here's the thing, Will: you listed matisse with warhol. They were tackling completely different things. That would be like trying to use the same rubric to judge monet and picasso. The difference between modern and contemporary art is very large -- in music even more so -- and it would behoove you to learn about it, in my opinion.
Doing a quick and dirty conversion, my Rent comes to 418 USD/month. That includes all amenities and 8 Mb/s broadband.
I'd say Food comes to about 140 USD, but this varies.
I get a monthly education support from the government, but it is measly so I opted for a student loan as well.
So tomorrow I receive 1350 USD (part of that is a free boon from the state, so I won't have to pay it all back), and the three months after that 1100 USD per month.
Every three months I get a cellphone bill in the region of 80-90 USD.
Gooey why is Sled Driver so fucking expensive? I've read that excerpt so many times, and god I'd love to read the book, but not for over four-hundred-fucking-dollars.
it is the most amazing book ever written and has been out of print for a long time?

Freeze it? We buy the big 6 pound packages of ground beef at Sam's, divide it into a couple 1 pound and 1/2 pound portions in ziplock bags, and stick it in the freezer.

Yeah, for 4 days. I just want to make a couple burgers. Or a salad with a chicken breast. Now I have half a dozen of them. Sitting there. Staring at me. Taunting me...

I do that with chicken breasts and ground meat. It's easier if I'm cooking for one.
I left some graham crackers out last week. They were soggy after 30 minutes. Humidity is the worst.
I think cheeze doodles that have absorbed humidity over night are nicer than fresh ones. Perhaps I should be put down.
Edit: I am so happy that freezers exist. That's the only way I can buy ground beef and chicken at bulk pricing and then store it. First-world privilege, I haz it.
For some reason Sam's is the only place I can find 90+% lean ground beef that isn't $Texas any more. Everywhere else it's the 80% lean junk that's only good for tacos.

We put most of my savings into our government 401k-like thing. If My wife loses her job she can get that money out after 30 days. So could I.
We would have money to live on for a while I guess. I am just scared. Look. I'm sorry if I made people mad I just can't imagine making less. It makes me angry and scared for a variety of reasons.
We've given 5 years of our lives to this hellhole and while we've made good money, it's expensive as hell here and we can't even find new jobs (These are TEMPORARY government jobs that could end soon (within the next year) and all of our work experience is wrapped up in the government.
but OH FUCK. There's a fucking WAR ON so all of the government offices are hiring Veterans which I am really fucking conflicted about because I GET the sociological and economic reasons Veteran's Preference is done but fuck if it's helping ME right now who is staring down the barrel of losing everything.

Yeah that's what I end up doing. I'd just rather not have to buy way more than I'll actually need because everything is proportioned for families rather than bachelors. Couldn't you make, like, 3 packages that are only 1/2 a pound next to all the gargantua-tub-o-meat ones Mr. Butcher? Pretty please?

of course i listed them together - you were asking if i was ignorant of "art since WWII"
they were different artists with different styles and different motivations and different influences sure
but they were still both "artists" who worked since WWII
now
if you asked me about artists since, say, 1970 I wouldn't know any
except for that scandinavian dude with the cool moving sculpures
and that guy who did the gates in central park
and i guess the few i get exposed to at the ICA when I go
but isn't this kind of the point: a layman who has put as much effort as I have into trying to learn about art and art history and regularly tries to expose himself to art and appreciate unfamiliar things still finds the great majority of contemporary art intentionally offputting and inaccessible.
does this speak to some degree to the state of the current art movement do you think?
or am i just a philistine?

Publishers should shift stuff over to print-on-demand once they're finished doing the big runs.
It would mean that a new copy of the book was three times as expensive as a mass-printed copy was, but that's better than fifty times more expensive for used on eBay.

$Texas in this context is pretty funny,

Well, you can always go to the meat counter and get it that way, in the size you want. Of course, the place has to have a meat counter.
The stuff in bulk tends to be cheaper too, by $1-2 a pound sometimes.

They'd get priced out of the market the second they unveiled it. Any USB external works for the PS3.
I can transfer stuff I've bought on the Playstation Store or game data onto a USB? Figured that stuff would not be transferable, but then I don't know jack about computers or this stuff.
