SPAM random annoying things

[Raven]

I'm playing RDR2 for the first time and honestly? I'd pay £200 for this game. It's phenomenal.

I'm over 100 hours in and still haven't completed story mode. Most of the time I just ride around exploring and having random encounters. And killing Murfree Brood wankers.

I got seriously addicted to poker and didn't do much else.

The thing that annoyed me was the insta-cop thing, making playing a "bad" play through pointless. Middle of nowhere, suddenly endless waves of deputies.

Fuck me how hard is it to buy a simple thing?

All I want is a hose pipe spray gun with a bottle attachment in which I can put weedkiller liquid. Surely I am not the first person to think fuck carrying around a watering can and filling it up every 10 seconds.

I see loads on Amazon but none in ScrewFix, Toolstation and B&Q.

My weedkiller comes with a pump spray on a cable.

My weedkiller is also fairly useless because it pisses it down with rain every twenty minutes in Ireland so I was thinking of getting a butane weed burner. Fuck me how hard is it to buy a simple thing? I see loads on Amazon but none in ScrewFix, Toolstation and B&Q.

Oooh that is an idea. Know of any place I can buy napalm?

Carefully measuring out where you need to drill a hole in the garage, proceeding to drill said hole, hitting the live wire and taking out FH for sometime earlier today amongst other things.

Get thyself a tester, as a home bodger, I wouldn't be without it.

So other than your electrics, your house is completely fucked?

I do have a couple and I love my Fluke but I knew the cables were live, I misjudged the hole I was drilling, was slightly off.

Well I have only ever laid networking cables etc so the house is ok, Dad (bless him) did the electrics when I first bought the place, like it only had 2 sockets for the whole house.

Got to get around to putting a new spur into the spare room, wife is running her home office off my extension lead.

Haha, I was doing that to my spare bedroom before I started on the conversion of the garage to a datacenter. Obviously it is still a work in progress and needs a little tidy up:

When did you become @Wij

It's an impressive feat, as most garages are exactly overloaded with power cables

Dropping a six foot sheet of chipboard on a smaller toe and breaking it, splitting the skin in a couple of places in the process. Bandaged it up to heal, it's definitely broken, a hospital can't fix that, so I'll see how it is tomorrow. Hurting a fair bit right now.

Stupid built-in wardrobe shelves. Cunts.

When I said my Dad did the electrics there was no overload and all the cables ran carefully along the walls. It only happened as I was drilling from the outside in but everything is back up and running now. Just gotta find the time to get the UPS up and running then cut the power and check out the cable I drilled as I obviously breached the outer layer and made contact with the core (cor sounds like a plot for a film).

I shall not moan then about the scratch marks on my lower legs as I was traversing the building site aka garage and catching them on all the shit.

It might be worth getting an electrician in to test your wiring. It's worth doing. I just had my consumer unit upgraded from a 1960s Wylex to a modern thing and thankfully my wiring was pretty much ok, although he did upgrade the earth bonding to modern specs.

I will as my daughter's partner is a sparky but the wiring was done years ago and was passed ok. I have 2 earth rods for the garage to earth my equipment to. The only concern I have is the damaged cable but I shall get it looked at sometime in the next few days when I see the family.

Sat in the local hospital now because I took the bandage off and it immediately started bleeding fast again, probably needs a stitch.

Hope you get it sorted in a timely manner, last time I was at a hospital (not for me) I was sat in the waiting room for several hours

I was supposed to type "aren't" rather than "are", in essence there aren't normally many cables to hit but I guess with all your stuff in there must be more. Our garage has the mains come in at the bottom and then go vertically 1.5m up the wall to a light switch and set of sockets, after that there is a piece of vertical round trunking carrying a cable to the timber frame and then on to the lights.

Hope your toe gets sorted Tom.

I don't really have that much I think, I have 4 double sockets (1 at each corner of the garage) and 2 light switches (1 at each entrance). All neatly done and tidy and all go back to a consumer unit in the garage which is then fed from the house. Thank fuck for quick blow fuses and RCDs.

If it's broken-bent, they can straighten it tho.

Hard luck m8


Edit: Ah. You already went!

 

[Raven]

Remembering that you bought yourself a Thursday treat of a bacon and cheese turnover from the hot section in Sainsburys, while shopping, an hour after you got home.

Edit, it's not hot, but it is lovely.

Edit. Was.

That one of my cats has chosen my PC as his place to sit, at all costs, this week. Right on top of the cooler's intake fans.

I've noticed that also when selecting shutdown. In my experience it should shutdown once it has fully completed doing the updates.

 

[caLLous]

It always does for me. It normally needs to reboot in order to finish the update process, then it shuts down.

Indeed but mine stays on, I've picked the correct option only for it to still be on when I've returned hours later.

I've had the same issue;

Check your power button menu, I noticed mine was set to sleep rather than shut down and I was curious whether it mattered so I changed it to shut down and the problem seems to have gone away.

Headphones off, glasses off, PC off, all in one movement, usually. I always come downstairs to an on PC after an update.
