own netbook for about 3 months. break screen. I don't even know when or how it happened but it's just got the typical black marks on it now.

I haven't checked yet but assuming the warranty is voided, what should my course of action be? I can still use it (posting on it right now) but it's really obnoxious. It costed $250 from best buy (I didn't get it from newegg because I just wanted to feel out the keyboard and it was the same price) but does anyone know how much a refurbishing like this runs? everything is fine outside of the screen crack.

Costed?

Anyway, try looking up parts for the model of netbook you have on the internet. You might be able to replace the screen yourself. Same goes for finding a refurbished model. Go and find one on the internets. If it exists, it might run ~$100-150.

They taunt me where all I let out is worry for the future of this household. It's always nearly the same. Why do I even try at this point when nothing comes of it? Why the hell would she invite some random woman we barely know to live with us in this “new house” we are getting? With what money are we to achieve this house worth almost one million? My mother expects me to trust her when she has and continues to act less like a mother and more like a child. There is no money for her to receive, there is only drama and that drama will be let out on me. I won't have it.

My next rifle build is getting expensive. Just by adding up parts I'll need online i'm up to $1800. That't not counting taxes, shipping, etc. I'll be over $2000 when it's all said and done and I'll still need $200 for the NFA Tax stamp.

You know, when I was in Afghanistan I had a clearly defined need for an assault rifle with a picatinny rail system and all sort of expensive doodads to go on it.  And even then, the list price on a stock M4 is not $2k, and it was good enough to shoot shit at 500 yrds at the SDM course (you don't really NEED the free floating barrel... it certainly helps...)  Short of being really awesome to shoot varmints with, I'm not sure I see the need for one back in the states. 

Dtrain, have you asked yourself, "do I really need this?"

I'm building a 9mm SBR. Only doodads are going to be an aimpoint and a magpul stock. The upper receiver is the most expensive part. The lower is only 80 bucks.

Does a man really need anything besides a sidearm, a 12 gauge for home defense and a .22 rifle? Probably not, but does that stop us from owning ridiculously huge and expensive things anyways? HELL NO!

I'm building a 9mm SBR.

Why on earth?  What are you going to shoot with it?

If you've got a hard on for a 9mm short barrel, go buy an MP5 in some back room... or straight up on the internet.  (yeah, i saw a bunch of .22LRs in there, but there were some 9mm for less than 2k.  But truthfully, for home defense I'd take the .22lr... less brain matter on the carpet and walls)

[Kirby]

I'll argue for Dtrain's side on this one, if I had the dosh to spare (I wonder how many guns I could buy with the fastDL money...) I'd be buying contextually inappropriate hardware too.


I've only got my pistol and rifle because I can't afford any more. If I could, I'd have a locker of semiautomatic combat rifles with 3 way rails and acogs, rds's and other really silly hardware as well.


But that's just because I love guns.

MP5 just wouldn't be as much fun without a giggle switch and a transferable one is about 15 grand.

while rotating the selector lever to "get some" is fun, I've never found it of much use if you want people to actually hit targets.  Disclaimer: outside 50m.

Yet we're referring to civilian usage. 'My little friend' mode is p.much just a Peen flexor with no other applicable use.


Which I wholeheartedly endorse.
