Yay, so just as I thought today was going to be a chill enough day, and that all my issues were sorted, one of my power boards is making an electric crackling sound, and a lamp plugged into a different one from a different power point won't work properly and just keeps flickering
Edit: oh and know my little heater I have next to my bed smells like burning
If the power board has a reset button, reset it. If it doesn't get one that does.
Take the lamp and try it in another power outlet. Also try taking the globe out when it has cooled down and put it back in.
fucking christ. trying to access work sever via vpn on a win10 laptop, vaguely mutter to myself "ugh you running sl-o-o-o-w is that why you're reporting as offline, baby?"
Windows fucking suggestion pops up with "Slow machine? check this" to which I say the only true and proper response of #YOU FUCKING WHAT MY SON
and prompt destruction of all microphone permissions.
This is a machine that has been gutted of bloatware and cortana, btw. Never. Trust. the cunce.
Lemmy is being a butt. It keeps logging me out and saying my credentials are wrong (they’re not) but letting me back when I close and re-enter. Only to do it again on navigating to reply to a comment.
Lemmy we need to discuss your pranks
I use it exclusively through an app now.
ya like wind do ya?
AFLW - Danielle Ponter (Adelaide) has kicked a goal from the centre circle at Ikon Park. WTF!
Police have arrested the driver of a vehicle that struck several pedestrians before colliding with two other vehicles near the corner of Bourke and Russell streets in Melbourne’s CBD this evening
Typical evening in Gotham City.
Fucking joy, opened the wardrobe and somehow managed to hit my head and left hand with the door. Got a lovely looking egg on my forehead now.
I swear to God, if I start getting concussion symptoms (or worse), I am going to be very annoyed. Assignment is due Sunday and I'm still 600 or so words out from completion, so I literally do not have time for this bullshit.
Mr Peeler heard today that one of his cousins lost her short battle with MND today. It was only just over a couple of years ago she was fine, came over to our place for lunch. Here's hoping we can find a cure soon. I'm a bit of a stunned mullet, but Mr Peeler will be very upset as he was close to his cousins, having no siblings.
Fireplace on.
Drinks poured.
Baldur's gate 3 installed on the PS5
Let's fucking goooooooooo
NtccJnr is home sick. Well, not very sick but not good enough for school. Heater has been cranked up and fresh warm popcornn is nownwarming our bellies.
If I had a nickel every time my data was compromised in the past year. I’d have three nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened three time.
(Optus in September of last year, AHM in roughly November of last year and now Dymocks) (Also I posted this in Thursday's DT not realising it's Thursday and I'm like "it's been five hours, why have I only gotten one like?" idiot... hahaha)
I'm doing a lot of dancing tonight because it's cold despite the heater being on and I ate a lot of mini cheesecakes.
Carn the Blue baggers.
Lol. I got a new phone case for the new phone, and almost snapped my phone in half trying to get it in. Apparently the case needs to be dismantled to for because it's got 3 layers lol
If anyone thinks I'm smart, no
The four motorcycle round trips today was unpleasant, could barely stay upright and it was freezing. Thankfully they were only 5km round trips on 40kmh roads.
One more tonight. Hopefully wind is calm by tonight, am only going to book a car for the trip if it is raining or is forecast to rain.
yes it'll be 24C next week but are we getting 80km/h gust to go with that or will it actually be good weather...
