I was at an air show yesterday. Got horribly sunburned, and now today I've got like... deep muscle aches in my arms (which got the worst of it). I also slept for like 14 hours. How hosed am I?

iwentdoodie posted:Miramar? Melbourne, actually. First annual airshow at the international airport (which was still active; they stopped the show periodically to let a smattering of commercial flights land/take off). Thunderbirds performed, and there were some other great aerobatic acts, but the static displays were... well, Grumman was the main sponsor, what awesome new poo poo do they really have aside from the Global Hawk? Miramar looks like it had better poo poo, but that's another few hours away on top of the ~70 minutes each way I already drove. Still, had a good time with my dad. Anyway I've felt drained as gently caress all day, even with aloe application. I should probably get some more sleep at this point.

No see the point was they expect me to fail and I want to go gently caress YOU MOM AND DAD and live a life of glory regardless but i seem to be proving them right. Barely made it home without snapping and just driving at 12/10ths all the way to loving daytona or wherever I was so pissed at myself. I'm better now, but... man, gently caress. I loving hate when I know something, but I can't loving recall it when it actually matters.

Yeah, it's one test, I know, and this professor does 1 makeup exam per semester so I can re-do it later. Just... I seem to get chains of "poo poo going well" going, and then when they break I just get pissed off to an unhealthy degree, like all the good didn't count. It's a loving head problem, I've been dealing with it all my life. Plus, y'know, I'm 26 and still 3 years away from a bachelor's, still unemployed, still don't have my own place (for gently caress's sake, even the car is still in my mom's name, if only because insurance is cheaper that way) and it loving gets to me, and no amount of "poo poo's that bad for everyone you're not alone" ever seems to penetrate and I just end up pissed off that I'm doing so poorly. gently caress what I wouldn't give for about an ounce of pot right now Edit: ignore me i'm just venting some pent-up frustration. I'll be better once i eat. and get some sleep. Fender Anarchist fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Oct 10, 2014 |

^gently caress's sake man, get rest and drink copious amounts of water. The full list of "things I care about having a house for" begins and ends with "a garage". If I didn't care about working on my own poo poo (or had the money to toss it to the shop and say "fix it" and drive a rental for a week) nothing about homeownership would appeal to me at all. And my "old new money" mom is still gently pushing me toward real estate as an "investment". Like she wants to spend $100k we don't have (with me cosigning on the loan of course) to buy this shitbox little house near here whose only redeeming feature is being next to a Sunrail station that A) saves no time vs driving to my current school, and B) doesn't run anywhere near UCF where I'll be doing my bachelor's starting next fall. But "IT BUILDS EQUITY AND NET WORTH!"

Elmnt80 posted:Just had a family member buy a mower off someone and got told I needed to fix it and that "The person I bought it from said it only needs a spark plug!". I had a sneaking suspicion that just from the condition it was in, the problem wasn't just a bad spark plug. Said gently caress it, swapped a new spark plug into it just for fun. Guess which one of us was right and now gets to make the piece of junk work with a budget of $0? Tell them to get hosed, you didn't agree to fixing it beforehand. Charge them full shop rate plus inconvenience fee for presuming your time.

Tusen Takk posted:words cursedshitbox posted:Kid, You're alright. This is not the AI I have known. (j/k TT, you make a good point.) Rhyno, I've got twin younger sisters, and for years I had to put up with friends/classmates asking "Are they hot? Can I ask them out lol?". For years I got all pissed at them talking about my sisters that way, until I realized: Nothing I said or did really changed anything for better or worse. Once I started just replying with "You wanna date them? Ask them yourself", things pretty much started sorting themselves out with zero stress on my end. They, like your sister, are grown rear end women, and they can handle themselves just fine; ask any woman, they probably get hit on by just about every male they encounter at one point or another, they're used to it. Plus, what's better, causing friction with your friends by trying to dictate their interaction with a third party (which may or may not work), or letting them crash and burn on their own and then laughing in their face about it as you share a beer later?

You'd think 2 years later they'd make a battery for the galaxy S3 with higher capacity than the original, but I guess battery tech doesn't improve that quickly especially when the manufacturers just want you to buy a new one.

InitialDave posted:I just had a guy break down outside my house. He rang my doorbell asking for a number for a taxi. I came home one day to find a Wrangler parked in front of my house with the owner pouring a water bottle in the radiator. Dragged my hose out and filled it up; drat thing was nearly empty, and it was hissing steam as I filled it up, probably put like 2 full gallons in. Told them to take it to a shop if it overheated again to check for leaks (which I didn't see any, but it could have been a heater core or something), but OTOH it was a 4.0 so it'd probably run for years bone-dry. I've seen those extended phone batteries, nice but a lot more expensive than stock battery, and I don't feel like bulking my phone up that much. Stock battery life was fine for me anyway, it's just so worn out that I get maybe a couple hours out of it off the charger at the moment; it's not even draining normally, the screen will just flicker and the phone dies at like 25% indicated charge, then if I let it sit and turn it back on it'll read like 40%. Just needs replaced, I just thought they'd make a higher-capacity one in the stock size by now. (plus I think I'm up for renewal around February so I just need something to hold me over til then.) And yeah, the biggest threat from Ebola in the US is people fearing high premiums and staying home/not getting diagnosed. Chances are pretty good at the hospital if it's caught early enough (or so it seems), but most people won't get that far. E: Rhyno posted:He's been a pretty chill dude for a while now.

CommieGIR posted:....I mean no offense, but you want a larger capacity battery without paying more than your stock capacity battery? Not so much the price itself, I'd pay that much for a battery if it were the stock size. E: And like I said I'm getting a new phone in a few months so why not save a few bucks now and get a big battery for that when the time comes?

1st Edition ADandD posted:Ebola stuff The CDC labs that research this poo poo are off the scale for safety. Full-body positive pressure hazmat suits with external air supply, with anti-pathogen showers both before suiting up, and before and after removing the suit (once for the suit, once for the body after the suit's off). Wouldn't surprise me if all ventilation went through high-power germicidal lamps, too. I specifically remember one bit about how, when studying brain tissue from test animals, they used scalpels and essentially giant crab-crackers to break the skull open, because the spray of infected tissues from using a bone saw would be too great a safety hazard. I doubt there's more than a handful of hospitals nationwide that are equipped that well for research, nevermind caring for affected patients. I'm less than surprised that health workers are starting to get infected. They really do need to call in the big guns for this one.

leica posted:I'm kind of afraid to ask, but what the gently caress is game gate. A They did this by loving up any and every reviewer who dared criticize misogynistic elements of games, or bring up equality in any way, and by sending death threats to Sarkeesian and others, and by wishing rape upon many female designers and reviewers. You know. For unbiased reporting. The "gate" is them trying to elevate this little slapfight over silly bullshit for children to the same level as one of the biggest political scandals of the 20th century. Without a trace of irony they use this term, "gamergate".

I'll drink whatever drip coffee is present if it's offered, but I really want to get an aeropress one of these days. Best coffee I've ever had was in Detroit last May. My sisters and I went to this place that actually roasts the beans to order, then grinds them and brews them as you wait. Not even the slightest chance for the aromatic oils and such to go rancid. That first sip was heaven.

Neither, it was the Roasting Plant (had to look it up). It's right by Lafayette/American Coney Island, which we went downtown specifically for (both of which were underwhelming imo, I prefer my hot dogs grilled), then decided to get coffee after and it was right there. I'm sure they're all great, though; fresh roasted is where it's at.

blk posted:I have an engraved medical dog tag I need to destroy because it has my SSN and some other particulars on it. I tried hand filing but it's such a small tag that it's hard to hold and work on at the same time. Don't have a Dremel or other power tool that can sand. How would you destroy something like this with household items? I recommend dissolution, concentrated hydrochloric acid ought to do the trick nicely. Or if it's aluminum, some gallium or mercury will diffuse into it and make it crumble like wet clay.

Solved my computer's periodic overheating it's been doing the last few days, apparently the heat sink screws vibrated slightly loose. So what sort of loctite should I be using for these? Blue might work, but I might go with red since it's a heated application.

Get GPU-Z and check your card temps. I figured out something was wrong when one sensor was 30 degrees C higher than the other two, and when I pushed the heat sink/fan down (up, actually, but w/e) onto the card the sensor reading shot up to 104 and the fan kicked to max speed.

Nah, alcohol is enough of a diuretic that you piss out significantly more than you consume, about 60% more according to this: quote:So if you drink 200 millilitres of beer, the end result is 200 millilitres of water. But you don't urinate just 200 millilitres of urine. No! You urinate a total of about 320 millilitres of urine.
