My XP machine from power on to ready to use is maybe 5 minutes tops.
Although it's been reformatted within the last 2 weeks though.

Coffee is like alot of other drinks, the type of coffee you get can make a big difference. If you tried coffee from one of those "free coffee" stations at a social or something, yeah chances are it tasted like boiled boots,  but if you go out and order a coffee shop cafe mocha, or an esspresso, the thats a whole different story.  Try it hot, iced, or in a smoothy.  Try differnt creamers and flavors etc.  Just because you dont like one cup doesnt mean all coffee is bad My only issue with starbucks is the price,  Id drink their coffee all the time if it didnt cost as much as it does.

I guess that explains it. The kind that I tried was sorta weird.

Speaking of weird coffee, I know someone who drinks (and likes!) insanely strong coffee! Strong enough to leave the average person extremely jittery and barely able to write or type well at all, but that guy is so used to it (does not feel the listed effects) that regular coffee tastes only like hot tea to him!

In other news, you've tried boiled boots? ;012

[CaptBrenden]

 I used to be that type of person.. on an average day at work I drank a pot of coffee in the armory, had 2 large mochas, 2 Tall Boy Amps or Monsters (heck just about any kind of energry drink in the large can) and then a few sodas (usualy MT Dex code red) when i got back to my room at night. I needed that just to stay awake

Ic had coffee that tasted like that XD but no, never boiled actual boots to make it.

I was awake 'till 3AM last night, and I didn't have nearly that much caffiene to go on.
Sadly, I haven't been to Starbucks in ages.

[NejinOniwa]

3AM? Who needs caffeine for that?

I was awake 'til 5AM yesterday, just because I forgot to go to sleep, and I'd had about 6 hours of sleep that night.

That's insomnia for you, folks.

[CaptBrenden]

your talking to the person that works 8pm to 8am on a regular basis, and does normal things durring the day

[Justin]

I stayed awake all night when we were headed towards Florida for a vacation once. I was slapping myself in the face trying to stay awake. I am NEVER doing that again.

I couldn't sleep the night before my Batizado. So I went through a 5 hour car drive, and 4 hours of uninterrupted martial arts training.
My system literally crashed halfway through.

[CaptBrenden]

Ive done 36 hour training ops before too.. now thats tired.. One moment im riding in the back of the truck, the next im 30 feet from the truck with the mortar system set up and my sergeant is yelling at me to get the data on the gun and get it ready to fire.. and im like "Sergeant I dont know how I got out of the truck, let alone what the data is!"

or driver said he kept seeing people run across the road infront of him..

Added after 1 minutes:

however, that says something about the ability for training to kick in under stress, I was able to dismount from the truck and assemble an 81mm mortar system and have it all but ready to fire wile i was techincly in a state of sleep.

Military tasks + sleep deprivation shouldn't mix. T__T

[CaptBrenden]

unfortunatly they do quite often. most soldiers and marines rarely get a full nights sleep, and even when they do, at least a few get less as they take turns keeping watch

[NejinOniwa]

I dread for when I'll do my service... O_o

@Coffee debate: I'm no big coffee fan either. The only coffee I touch is the expensive iced mocha kind from the mall, with whipped cream and sprinkles and other tasty stuff on top. Now that's great!

@Techno: good to see you back, and happy to hear you're playing with Inkscape! I can't believe your computer takes a half hour to boot up, mine boots in about two or three minutes...

@Nejin: You have insomnia? Have you ever tried to treat it (like with melatonin or anything)? I couldn't function without a full 7 or 8 hours every night!

...And you're going into the service?
