Pressure washer or industrial stone washer? The big engine-driven ones should strip that down pretty quick.

I got the biggest one Home Depot had, it had a big rear end Subaru motor on it. Worked ok on the inside of the wall, but not nearly as well as I expected it to.

The paint stripping method is actually working out pretty good for the outside part, using a 5 inch razor scraper it's coming off in big sheets, it's a hell of a lot less messy and I wish I would have done it for the inside wall as well.

She's just excited about the New Thing, I bet. But yeah, I get you. There's just no tactful way to say "Please shut up, I don't want to hear about it right now", is there? No matter how gently I try to get the point across that I'm not really interested in something my wife is talking endlessly about, I still manage to piss her off.

So I'm gonna take a moment out here to bitch about my welding instructor. So far:
  • Told me it's best to notch tubing with an endmill the size of ID of the tube for a tube-tube joint
  • Instructed me to weld over strain-relief holes I made in plates with the CNC plasma, because they will create cracks
  • Didn't believe me when I said arcs are better than triangles as gussets
  • Instructed me to use the drill press freehand because that's how real work is done in a shop
  • Witnessed her make a MIG weld w/o her hood
  • Witnessed her watch the CNC plasma cut w/o her hood
  • Makes a point of changing every dimension on a project after I do solidworks drawings and get her to review them

gently caress that one in particular. Like, you can't make someone wear their PPE, but free-handing on the drill press is a really good way to end up no-handing on the drill-press.

I don't even have a wife/girlfriend and I get to put up with this poo poo from my brother's wife. Get home and she just starts rambling until I either go outside to work on something or turn up the volume too loud for her to talk over.

Spent all day yesterday working on fixing something, off to try again. Procedure for the day is remove everything but base motherboard, see if it boots. If it boots start putting things back in one at a time. Each boot takes ~5 minutes and it takes at least 5 minutes to remove and put it back in the system. Yay computers...

...in a shop that's very quick to close down because none of the staff have any fingers and the insurance company stops covering them, maybe.

There are a lot of safety precautions in this world that seem over the top but when you're working with powertools and in particular large bits of kit like a drill press with more torque than a lot of small cars, safety is the first thing you should pay attention to.

It's not 'cool' to be missing fingers/limbs because you're too lazy to spend 30 seconds securing a workpiece.

Exactly. It's meant to be completely ridiculous and over the top. There are plenty of bands who take the image of vikings, knights, dragons and what have you. Powerwolf takes the image of evil inquisitors, because evil+time=badass, with a whole heaping of Romanian werewolf/vampire myth thrown in. And yet some people* insist on taking the genre 100% seriously, which is endlessly amusing.

I mean for goodness' sake, one of their songs is called "coleus sanctus" (holy testicle) and at least one of their album covers is basically a three wolf moon shirt with catholic vestments:



* Including bands like Therion, who apparently haven't been let in on the joke yet.

Welp, woke up to my antivirus deciding that... the antivirus itself was a virus, and it had quarantined all of the infected files.... and also had a bunch of DLL errors relating to the antivirus. Can't even open a web browser,so I rebooted, and the PC is just stuck on the "Please wait" screen you get after Win8 has installed updates.

And of course, while I'm typing this on my laptop, I start getting the same errors immediately after it downloaded an update, and Add/Remote Programs says it's already been uninstalled. :shepicide:

Panda has done that before. At least once that I know of (early-mid 2000's). Did an update, saw itself as a virus, removed itself, and nuked the system from booting in the process. A repair install should get you back up and booting, or find a DarT disc for your flavour of windows and do a sfc /scannow to replace system files that Panda wrecked. If you have any other systems running it, uninstall before it updates.
