Well that is an American holiday I just prefer doing the opposite where Boxing day isn't used as the biggest shopping day because that is now earlier and instead Boxing day is used as R&R and to spend time with your family/friends....I accept it is wishful thinking however

...and Black Friday is an American shopping event. It only really exists in the UK because of Amazon. That was my point really. There's a Boxing Day sale tradition in the UK because its a holiday (how else would retailers get the footfall?). In the US they don't get Boxing Day off, so the big sale became a Thanksgiving thing. Bizarrely for many people (called..."women" I believe), the sales are an R&R thing; my missus and a bunch of her friends get up for the Next sale at 5AM on Boxing Day; she buys a year's worth of clothes for the kids and goes off for breakfast with her friends before I'm even out of bed. Mars and Venus and all that...

Thanks but I know all this but to put it in simple terms, it would be nice if it was another day other than boxing day is my point.

You can just not turn on your computer and watch movies on a no-ads channel?

Right so i've bought a 240GB SSD on monday. It turned up today.
Its one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00BQ8RM1A/ref=ox_ya_os_product
I'll admit i'v now changed my mind about it, but had to have a nose inside. I'm going to arrange to return it to Amazon tomorrow.
However if someone else would like it, i'll give it to you for what it cost me which was £95.99. I've unsealed the packaging but not taken it out of the anti static bag.
Why am i doing this? I had a nose around inside my PC and i'm short a power connector, after pondering with myself "Do i really need this?" the answer came up as not really needed atm.
If you want it let me know before midday tomorrow.

Just the one death this year, and tbh that one was pretty tenuous.
Capitalism at the expense of personal safety is just not trying hard enough this year.

Human life is too sacrosanct. Anything else we snuff out without a blink if it's in our way. And there seven billion humans on his planet. It could stand to lose a few million or billion and if one was me so be it. I'm not wishing it on the poor or others. When I die I won't know anything about it so do your worst.
Will be better for the planet.

Don't know if it's relevant but you can get a 4 pin molex to SATA adapter if you've just run out of the SATA connectors.

We need a "why the fuck did you respond to that post that way?" icon. We can then just start posting on the content of each other's response icons. It would be very Meta. (We also need a "meta" icon).
