Because anything else would actually require effort at the moment

So, a new USB wireless device for my laptop has finally been acquired today. One of those specifically dubious brands with “Made in China” stamped on the label with interestingly wonky text but as long as it’s transferring at 54Mbps and is happy enough with WPA, which my onboard card wouldn’t have supported anyway, I’m quite content.
Update-wise everything is fine and dandy now which usually means that there’ll be another problem to contend with soon enough and this time that’s already here. My DVD/CD-RW combo drive on the laptop has crapped out on me so I'm going need to replace that. I’ve got another laptop CD drive that I saved from an old laptop but annoyingly enough it’s just a CD drive without a writer so that won’t do really. At least the new laptops are easy enough to take apart; you can add more RAM or replace drives as needs be, unlike the old ones where you were stuck with whatever you’d just bought.

You are a dog

Or maybe you are a mosquito, you certainly can't be human. The highest pitched ultrasonic mosquito ringtone that I can hear is 21.1kHz

Take the mosquito ringtones hearing test

My right ear must be overcompensating for my left... that or those Krusnik nanites are doing their thing. Krusnik 05. Special power: sitting on my ass... much like most of Rosencreutz really.

Well, you've got me beaten, although I'm evidently a teenager by their results. Not again...

Either tinnitus is acting up once more or the mosquito ringtone quiz has really done a job on my hearing for I have an uncanny feeling that the pressurized pain in my ears was not there five minutes ago (or I've gone nuts and am imagining things again). Nonetheless, it's pleasing to know my hearing has not gone on the fritz. ^_^

Tinnitus does seem to cultivate some surprising properties, doesn’t it? Because having had a brief listen to that again, it’s actually my left ear that seems to be picking up the sound.
