I've been trying to buy some things and I.... just can't find them. It's driving me crazy. I've been looking on/offline for years and have had zero luck.

#1) A belt that is a little less than an inch wide (so about two and a third cm). I have a casual tan belt this wide that is very comfortable but can't find any other ones this thin :/ I can find 1 inch plus, but I find that less comfortable (although I wear thicker belts for work). I've looked online, in stores, etc...

#2) Ball markers (for golf) that are very small. For years I had a top flite ball marker that was very small (like dime sized) and pressed down into the green well. I've looked online and in golf stores and all I've found are quarter sized ball markers. Some items I've found through online searching aren't labeled so you can't really tell how big they are until you buy them... which I would like to avoid.

#3) I've also been trying to figure out whether or not my computer/graphics card could handle a second monitor. I have an NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT. According to the software, it can handle multiple monitors, but a lot of the searching I did online suggests that it doesn't work properly. I am probably going to build a computer next year so I can just wait until then to deal with this, but I was thinking about possibly getting a second monitor. Does the second monitor have to match the first one in any way? I currently have a 4:3 19" Dell monitor... could I use a widescreen monitor as a second monitor?

#4) Walnuts. Does anyone know a way to get them that isn't ridiculously expensive? XD

#5) I have a lot of American Express points. Does anyone have a way they suggest burning them without wasting them? XD

Fuck I love walnuts. I need some now.


Can't you get them shelled at any bulk bin in a store that has bulk bins?

With shipping this is more expensive than the nuts I can buy in my local supermarket :/

edit: never had them shelled before... not sure if that's good enough or not for my need :p

Usually when I can't find things that meet my optimal specifications I start thinking of how I could make one. Out of these things, only one seems easy to make and that's the ball marker. It's a pretty simple tool that doesn't necessitate much precision. You'd get satisfaction out of making it and you could make it exactly how you want it. Think about it.

Good luck on the other items.

I was thinking maybe of putting together my own 3d printer at some point... if I do that I could probably print ball markers :p

Not sure how else to make one though...

Pretty much any graphics card sold in the last 5 years supports dual monitors. You'll want to look at the ports on the thing, because some of them offer 1 DVI and 1 VGA, while others have 2 DVI ports (the latter is better). If you're okay with possible slight blurriness, it won't matter.

You should be able to dump your points into some electronics. Maybe that 2nd monitor.

And they don't need to be the same monitor or even the same aspect ratio. I had to use an old driver version to get my setup to work right though (taskbar and desktop icons on the right one).

Yea I was thinking of getting a dell gift certificate (points are exchanged 1 to 1 on gift certificates) and getting a monitor from them. I'm worried it won't work with my graphics card though (based on googling I did).

I have two side-by-side white DVI outputs it looks like, so I guess that's good.

Was thinking maybe of an ~20 inch widescreen monitor...

Thanks for info; if I'm in this situation I'll need to get tech support from the TL community haha

Sure, walnuts are fine and dandy, clearly almonds win though!

Keep in mind a 20" 16:9 widescreen will have a much shorter screen than your 19" 4:3, so you may want a bigger one (they usually only tell you the diagonal, but you shouldn't have any problem doing the math yourself :p). 16:10 (1920x1200 res) tends to be better for games, but they're pretty hard to find these days.

Btw, if you don't mind waiting a month, there's always tons of good monitor deals on Black Friday.

edit: that :9 smiley needs to go =/

Dual monitors don't need to be the same make, model, resolution, or aspect ratio. However, having the same resolution makes things easier. Coming from 16:10 dual 1680x1050's, I can say that a single 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 would probably be better by itself than combined with your 4:3, though. More uniform, looks sharper, etc.
