Not bad. Just make sure your drivers will work with Ubuntu. I had the most unfortunate experience dealing with incompatible drivers.

I've been searching for a while now and I don't think there's a single full-length documentary about prescription stimulant abuse/addiction that really gets close to the actual feelings I've gotten from my experiences being addicted to Adderall and Ritalin. They treat it different than things like meth and street speed and mostly focus on the "evil ways that the pharmaceutical companies are preying on us". I don't blame the pharmaceutical companies. I faked my way into a psychiatrist's office and convinced them to give me the pills so that I could get high. I've spent days awake doing nothing but snorting or ingesting pills to the point of hallucinations and delusions. I've gotten into fist fights with friends who are also addicted because we were so strung out the smallest thing sent us into uncontrollable rages. Where's the coverage on that?
Name: Fascist Fennoscandian Union of Norfoklan
Population: 65,362,325 (2012 Estimation)
Form of Government: Single-Party Fascist Union (Led by the Neo-Fascist Party of Norfoklan)
Leader: General Secretary Kristian Schrøder
Capital: Copenhagen
Basically the Scandinavian Peninsula (and surrounding areas like Greenland and Iceland) In one large Fascist government that is heavily militaristic due to the perceived threat of surrounding, non fascist countries.

Formerly known as Azaca, but I got bored with that Nation and started over.

I believe you need to use this. Could be wrong.

Ubuntu is pretty cool, almost indistinguishable from PC in UI sense.

How do you know they're German? If you give them tiny little guns, do they try to invade France? :unsure:

They're aggressive fuckers. Accidentally walked into a nest of them whilst out tramping. Apparently, they like to build very large nests here.

I knew they were around because I was inside a beech forest at the time. I stood next to an old tree stump and that's when they attacked. Apparently, some local eradicator said he'd dealt with nests as big as pianos.
