Well, Best Buy was no help whatsoever. Wanted me to spend $200 for them to do what I can do for free.

Best Buy tends to suck anyways.

Bears have been doing research into genetic engineering so they can up their speed.

It's not just their speed, it's their agility...we're much more maneuverable than humans and bears...

 

[Shadow Wolf]

It would take one slow and probably sick or aged squirrel to get caught by a bear...and as that's part of the circle of life, we accept that...it's entirely possible that the squirrel had already died, as bears are known to eat carrion as well a nuts, fruits, honey, fish and the occasional backpacker...

Plenty of different bear races can easily outrun a squirrel.

Plenty of different bear races can easily outrun a squirrel.

Perhaps at peak velocity, on a straight and flat course...but it takes them longer and once they are lumbering along, squirrels can cut back or otherwise change course and the bear just can't adjust.

I just don't think we're gonna get a rise out of @Wu Wei today...

I don't have to outrun the bear. I only have to outrun you.

"For $199 we can reinstall Windows and save your data, or for $149 we can reinstall Windows, but won't be able to guarantee we can restore your data."

"I can reinstall Windows by just clicking this 'reinstall Windows' icon here and click the 'save my data' option, right?"

"Well...yes, I suppose."

"And it won't cost me anything to go home and click those icons, right?"

"I guess not."

"Have a nice day."

GMO bears will exceed your expectations.
Just look at @Wu Wei ....he's already almost as intelligent as a human!

I'll tie your shoelaces together!

Somehow, that reminds me of a story book from my childhood...something about a bear who loved salmon so much that he went to work for a cannery...dressed as a human in overalls, a cap, and his shoes on backward...

I wear velcro strap walking shoes. While you are trying to figure that out I am gone.

Not something I'd take a bet on. Flat, uphill, or downhill, bears are much faster than what they typically given credit for. Granted their endurance isn't much to speak for, but they are very fast while they are running.

I've got that one covered, nothing to figure out:

I'll bring an extra set of shoelaces just for you!`

I wonder why the picture thingies aren't working right.

 

[Revoltingest]

I wonder why the picture thingies aren't working right.

I know...it sucks...I have to edit or quote posts to see them.

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

I wonder why the picture thingies aren't working right.

I could only see them when I replied directly to the post...

Well, I'm back on the laptop. Yeah, I have to reinstall Office and about 30 other apps, and take the computer back to the office and have the administrator set up the VPN again, but my data is still here. So is my $200.

 

[Brickjectivity]

That is almost awesome! Its like the next best thing!
