Fahrenheit is good for exactly one thing: temperature for humans. It's about the smallest difference in temperature that a human can feel. Anything 0F or below is too fucking cold for humans. Anything 100F or above is too fucking hot for humans. So instead of basing the temperature on what water does out of 100, Fahrenheit bases on how a human feels. Stupid for science, great for humans.

    I've been reverse engineering my cloudnine keyboard, and almost have the gui complete. Soon I will not have to deal with the fucking key next to control putting my keyboard into rave mode every time I'm a little off.

    I think I'm going to do my huge trackball mouse next, then see about building my own from scratch.

    Absolutely do it. I'm an American living in Albania, I haven't been to Budapest yet, but I have a ton of friends that go at least every couple of years. Everyone says it's amazing.

    In addition, it's cheap rail and flights to the rest of Europe. Hop around every chance you get while a shitty hostel bed won't break your body. If possible, plan to spend an extra month after your semester with a rail pass and no plan.

    I really can't stress enough how much I wish I would have done this. Go, use your student ID to get everything possible for cheap. See works by all of the ninja turtles, view ruins that existed and have been abandoned multiple times the age of the US. Eat weird food. See so many awe inspiring churches that you're like, "oh, it's ABC(another beautiful church)"

    When I was living in Bhutan, we were having a competition to see who could receive the mail with the least information. My boss won with a letter from the US that only had "white guy law school Bhutan" on the envelope

    Slipknot puts on a great show. Weird Al's shows are always fun. If I'm within a couple of hours of where Babymetal is putting on a show, I will do whatever it takes to see them. Honey Dijon spins an amazing set. Whenever you have a chance to see an opera, go. Chances are you'll be blown away by the talent.
