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?

Miramar?

Either way, you're hosed. Get some straitch and try to not kill yourself while bathing in aloe.

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 if I hadn't quite forever six years ago.

Edit: ignore me i'm just venting some pent-up frustration. I'll be better once i eat. and get some sleep.

I'm 27 with a career that I could retire from and have a check for life in another 13 years, with no degree, and not a day goes by that I don't loathe my loving life and wish poo poo was different and generally feel like a failure.

So, yeah.

Hay guys, any advice on where to put my poo poo bag whilst auto Xing my Miata?

On the hoop, with a brake light shining through it.

Sucks man, but even if it does come to that, from what I've seen they're no longer like they were even ten years ago. Much easier to conceal.

But hopefully you can get away with just meds and diet.

In other sick news, don't know what the gently caress happened but I have a goddamn ridiculous sinus cold right now. AI is now getting us sick over the internet.

Yours, apparently.

Is your sister an adult? If the answer is yes then it's none of your drat business either way and she can handle her own poo poo. If posting on Facebook is your version of letting something be known, then you have much larger problems. And at some point when poo poo continues to happen, despite omgdefriending people on Facebook and not talking to them, the only common denominator becomes you.

Okay nerds (kastein?) I have a problem. My stereo recently stopped working on phono.



The black connector here, with the white poo poo around it, is the connection for the record player. When plugged in, nothing. But if I pull on it a bit, magically it spins. Is this just a bad solder joint? And if so, can I simply reflow it, or do I get to do my first repair job? I can solder and braze piping, but the only electrical I've ever done was a lovely LED light a decade ago.

Pop the board off, taking note of screws. You may not have to remove the epoxy poo poo on the top, your connections likely solders on the bottom. But I'll defer to Ken (or Motty) who can say the same things with purtier two dollar whore words.

Would it hurt anything to do it in place if I can? It's a bitch to get the board out. And thanks, because I never even thought to look at the bottom. The epoxy is clearly broken off of one of the two wires, and this is a lovely picture of the soldering on the bottom.

Yep, just reflow it from the bottom.

And C1336 is dead/dying (top left electrolytic cap). While the board is off find another and replace it. And any other electrolytic that looks like that.

This is why I loving love SA. Now come help me with my two vintage radios

Thanks guys. 😚

I hope I can meet the postcount :( I usually just lurk, since I was usually underway too much to even read SA a lot. But I guess now that I'm on shore duty I can start posting like normal people.
