Man, I remember when games were as simple as

1. Power on
2. Play game

He was the kind of guy who would tell you exactly what he was going to do to score on you, then execute. Again and again. Can you imagine how demoralizing that’d be? This guy tells you how he’s going to beat you, and you’re powerless to stop him. You have to stand there and watch the man toss it in.

F=1.8C+32 but for anyone else too lazy to do the math since the Americans are awake:

I did the math:

Room temperature is often defined as 68 degrees Fahrenheit (although I remember it being 73.4 in some old textbooks).

68+29.9 is 97.9 which is the normal temperature of a human body.

68+33.5 is 101.5 which is above normal temperature, i.e. fever.

AFAIK ~107.6 degrees is lethal.

I do.

I sleep at 60. House is 65 all day between November and April. We don’t get true winter here so the heat hardly has to run. In May/June when we need to start running the AC, everything goes up 10-12 degrees.

I can’t cope much over about 78. 80 degrees indoors and I’ve got no fewer than three fans aimed at myself. Gas bills in winter are relatively low. I’d like to get a little unit just for the bedroom and the computer room, then I don’t have to cool the whole house to stay comfortable. Leave the house at 82 during the day and keep the rooms I’m in at 72.

I’m the kind of guy to wear shorts when it’s below freezing outside.

I’d say more than half the crappy situations I end up in are both outside of and beyond my control. Sometimes, you just have to ride the suck train until things improve. Therapy is a powerful tool, but it has its limits, and it’s important to know when and how it can be helpful.

Whoa little buddy. Red flags going up. Something’s telling me we should walk through it, not over it.

I honestly hate the vast majority of Christmas music. And I’ve never worked retail. God I feel awful for anyone who has to work that sector between November and January.

Last Christmas gets a pass though. I kinda love Wham

Playing the music and being subjected to it are totally different. I played guitar and trumpet in my youth and doing Christmas music for the school and the town parade were always a blast. But now that I’m a jaded adult…lol

Getting my guitar out and figuring out new songs is still a lot of fun, even if I’m kind of terrible at it.

I played bass with a little four piece band in college. I’d listen to a lot of music with the bass turned up so I could learn basslines, practice them, and then build off of them and do my own thing. And it was a pretty easy transition since a bass is strung just like a guitar without a B or high E string. I haven’t played regularly in a long time, but I do find time to get the guitar out and kill time when I’m at home alone here and there. Most of the music I listen to is one of like four different chord progressions, each made up of three or four chords lol

I remember his video about people burning wood with microwave transformers. 2-3kV is some lethal shit. Some lady, one of the lucky survivors of an accident, had her hand mutilated as a result of messing with that kind of voltage.

Mythbusters may have been one of the single greatest programs ever.

I miss Modern Marvels and How It’s Made.

My wife says her mom used to do that and now she can’t hear Santana’s “Smooth” without thinking of The Weather Channel.

I was trying to avoid “cool item give big money” because that’s exactly what I did when I posted the idea on Reddit. It was a set of dice that would give the winning lottery numbers and then scatter like the Dragon Balls. And then guess what half of everyone chose. At least the penny can be used for things other than gambling. Idk maybe something like that should be a single use item to balance things out.

spicytuna62, 8 months ago

Gotta distinguish it from any old penny in the change jar.

I did fuck up the plumbing. Like I said, got in over my head. All the old pipes were cemented in and the disposal didn’t match up to the existing plumbing. I should have thrown in the towel sooner, but “too late” was when I, the dumbass with a sawzall, chose to admit defeat. He was here a solid 2 hours cleaning up my mess. I can fix most stuff, but sometimes, it just goes the wrong amount of sideways.

As for the disposal, if we were gonna replace it, we were gonna get a GOOD one. It’s a 1 horse and it’s probably overkill, but I’d rather spend the extra on a higher quality machine. We both spent way too much time living with shit tier appliances in cheap apartments.

Fortunately, the plumber was a total bro and replaced all the cemented fittings with compression fittings. So if the next one doesn’t perfectly fit, it’ll be as simple as loosening everything up and adjusting it all.

Personally I just like the lack of difficulty in air cooling. And air cooling can also be very quiet. I have a case with soundproofing inside, and my PSU and GPU fans only spin up when they get hot enough to justify it. The noise level is so low as to be imperceptible. My dog breathes louder.
