I was in the same boat for a while, once I cut out my work coffee I had a few exhausted days but now I don't have coffee at all and I feel fine during the day. Maybe try and supplant it with something that will distract your mind, like getting up and going for a walk/stretching or having some trail mix at your desk. I am throwing out ideas based on you working in an office as this has helped me lately. Your body will adapt quicker than you think. Exercise, sleep and a full range of foods help too of course.

Comic done. Should I have gone with Reptile's suggestion? Maybe?
Definitely
So I just remembered that I made a youtube channel back in 2010 for kritz.net.

Nice to see Microsoft release an Xbox LIVE app on IOS, but not nice to see or hear nothing about an Android one.
The new Dashboard is really nice. It's a lot like the windows phone interface. It's amazing how many times Microsoft has reinvented the 360 with a new dash
i looked up the original dash last night, horrible
the blades?
they were awesome!

You can slowly see MS converting all their OS products to use the one unified interface. Phone, Windows 8, xbox.
Guarantee you it is built using Silverlight.
Not at all, I use WPF for work which is the full blown version of Silverlight and love it.

I may or may not have voted for Chuck Rock 7 times. Won't beat out Smash TV (especially since I put another 3 votes on it last night in a failed effort to get it higher than Another World for the lols) but hopefully we will see silly Mr. Rock drop a boulder on his house and charged with dinocide in 2 weeks time!
Make sure to ask if their toilets flush left to right!
Could be interesting, the Playstation app on Android is meh though so I'm not going to get my hopes up.
Loved the original dashboard. The new one certainly looks nice and syncs up well with their current OS across the board but a lot of the added functionality isn't for me. I wish the marketplace was set out better.The new Dashboard is really nice. It's a lot like the windows phone interface. It's amazing how many times Microsoft has reinvented the 360 with a new dash

the banks are playing a very dangerous game imo. If they choose not to pass a cut of any type the government will probably step in and do something for the future.
like i said, if the RBAs main lever for economic stability and improvement can be ignored by billion profit banks, then the entire point of the RBA cutting rates is moot.
FUCK THEM ALL.
one day someone will firebomb their offices.

Choc is the 99%?
Joking aside this is no different to what they have been doing the last few years, can't remember a point in time when I would have considered banks to be doing business for the greater good rather than for the greater profit.
they will lose 10 million each if they give the cut
10 million out of a SIX BILLION quarterly profit
give
me
a
fucking
break
biggest problem is the governments fucked. They can't pull the guarantee they have on deposits right now because that is what is keeping the lending costs to Australian banks low, if they do interest rates will go up.
But the fact that the Government is guaranteeing the money and therefore keeping borrowing costs down for the banks should force them to fucking cut
sigh
also the 1% who are on news sites going FUCK YOU ALL I HAVE BANK shares. Well how about for once htinking about someone OTHER THAN YOURSELF
oh wait, i forgot we left that behind a long time ago. FUCK SOCIETY

In 2008 when the government guaranteed the deposits of the big four is when you should have realised that someone thought their ongoing existence was for the greater good. That's what makes this bad. If they're propped up by the government because they're too big to fail, they need to accept some degree of government say so in their operations. The government doesn't want to go hardline with regulation because investors will see that as additional "regulatory risk" and bank shares will plummet, which a lot of people and funds are invested in.
I take your general point, but I reckon a lot more than just the 1% are heavily into banks. Probably a lot of super funds and the like.
So that's why Reddit is flooded with Pokemon jokes that I still don't get.

This story of the amazing love animals have for each other will cheer you up Choc! Although humans are the evil of the story. Much like most of existence. No matter! Dogs and cats!
i just read that, its amazing story
the gif in there of a flying dog is also awesome

That is what I meant. Banks are important, as we have seen overseas with those going under. Rock and hard place for the Government. Banks laughing all the way to the bank at the situation.
like i said if the government pulls the deposit guarantee interest rates will skyrocket as the cost of borrowing will go up for the banks again
but that said, given they are being propped up they have a responsibility to fucking cut the rates and take a hit
without the government they would be taking a hit anyway due to higher costs
so fuck them.

As of right now, borrowing from several smaller lenders is cheaper than borrowing from the big four. While the big four rely on deposits for two thirds of their lendings, credit unions and the like rely on close to 100%. If it's even more expensive to borrow from the big four, the gap will only widen, and many other lenders will be competitive. Isn't that a good thing?
of course it is but what im saying is the governments in a rock and hard place right now and the banks know it.
They should have a social conscience and realise their borrowing is low thanks to the aussie taxpayer but they are all to busy wearing 20 grand suits, driving 200 grand cars and sniffing cocaine off hookers in their office to care

Christmas with the family? I'm in Melbourne next Friday you should come have a few drinks! Or whatever the customary meeting up thing to do is in Melbourne.
Well now I can't be mad at them. Sound like fun. Plus it's not their faulty they are awesome since they are drug addicts. We should feel sorry for them.
Maybe we should have a government bank or something.
so xbox cloud saves is shit
you choose cloud as your storage device and then it access that
no internet? no save game. XBL down? no save game
PS3 does it like this. saves locally then uploads, so its a backup and not relied upon.
Sigh microsoft.
Deek thats exactly WHY the rba cut rates to try and shield us from that shit. But the banks urgh...... any excuse. They all have AAA ratings, they all get the lowest rates in lending because of the government guarantee
time to share the love with teh people guaranteeing your fucking deposits

Oh Choc.
As the partner of someone who worked in corporate banking for many years, there is so much wrong with this sentence that I think my head is going to explode.
But I won't let facts get in the way of your incessant raging, so carry on.
deary me i jest
seriously, this is the news limited take on it thats all
don't search for #bankgrinches on twitter because thats the vitriol you get
I'm sure one of the bank excuses is the volatility of the EU, meaning there are risks associated with sourcing international funds, which is a good reason I think.
Also, I haven't read anything about the recent cut, but I doubt it has anything to do with avoiding effects of the EU.
And yes, I agree with ban too even if I knew choc was "kidding" lol
