Or go buy from Gemesis, which because they make the damn things in Florida, neither start wars in sub-Saharan Africa, or use extremely wasteful mining techniques. Do you have any idea how much energy it takes to excavate gem quality stones?

Old pencils, leftover charcoal from the staff's summer BBQ..lot's of fun stuff I'm sure.

Fingers crossed it's Micro Four Thirds, instead of a crappy small sensor deal like Nikon peddles.

...Juice gets locked out of the club and discovers love in the form of an injured puppy.

The hard stuff gives you an adrenaline rush. It is an intense feeling that you just don't get if the hottest thing you eat is a jalapeno. It's not for everyone, clearly, but it's a different experience.
