Massively overworked due to summer holidays starting, so everyone wants projects done before that.
Massive hematoma in my back thigh hasn't healed properly even after 3 months, and still causing swelling and makes it hard to walk.
Considering upping my ADHD meds because they seem to be losing effectiveness (still in early stages of testing the meds, 6 months on them now).
Everything is getting expensive and even with higher than mean salary for my country, two working adults and no kids, we're barely scraping by.
ISP lied to me and my fiber is getting installed in 2027 instead of summer of 2025, so I'm stuck with 5g, but at least the transmitter is 60m from my house, so it works pretty well.
Russia, The US, radical conservatism and the climate change causes me immeasurable dread and sense of impending doom, that's causing my anxiety to get worse.
I never have time, energy and motivation at the same time to work on hobby projects I would really love to work on.
Other than that, I'm alright. It's not as bad as it sounds, could be worse. Got a job, roof over my head, no drug habits, don't really drink anymore after years of crippling alcoholism. Dog's allergies are finally under control after a very long hassle of and a lot of money, so that's good. Gotta focus on the positives.
Thank you for asking, apparently I had some stuff I wanted to get out, didn't even really realize that.
How about you, how are you doing OP? (And everyone else of course.)
It's been a while since I have disagreed so hard with anyone. With all due respect of course, can't really debate taste.
I disagree with the story being awful or awkward acting. Story is the best one of out the 3 (if you don't count Witcher 3's DLCs, those were superb.) and has the most innovative story quests. Also, not to spoil too much, but your decisions in that game actually affect the entire world and story a lot, what you do in act 2 can change the entire story, my mate and I had completely different stories because of what we decided in act 2, and I have to respect that. Not like that Mass Effect kind of "you were evil or whatever, which colour do you want as your ending?"
I agree, combat is terrible, engine is terrible, everything is unintuitive and clunky. I'd say for the best experience, drop difficulty to the easiest one and play for the story. Also, change voice acting to Polish, I can't stand Geralt in English in any of the games (Sorry Doug, cool guy, doesn't fit as Geralt IMO.) and the Polish really adds to the atmosphere, kinda like playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in Russian.
After a dwarf in the slums told me that my mother sucks dwarf cocks in hell, I haven't been the same as a person.
Good for you to give it a go even though it's pretty rough by today's standards. Totally worth it, love the game even with it's massive faults.
Is that the probable cause? I did level it recently, and it barely vibrates now. Maybe I'm putting in too much at a time...
Also a fan of his lettuce.

Oh damn, I was thinking of the scene where Homer is laying in bed, facing away from Marge and just going to sleep when Marge is trying to say she needs a vacation. Mixed the two up, this is Streetcar named Desire, Homer wasn't interested in the play since there was no bowling in it, as someone else said.
S03E05 Homer Alone?
Well, not specifically because I want to make them feel included, it is to stimulate them and satisfy their curiosity. Also helps skittish cats and dogs to gain confidence by introducing them to new smells constantly in a safe way.
Smells are way more important to both cats and dogs than humans, and more than most people realize. Example: I see a lot of people around walk their dogs and not letting them sniff properly but just tug them along, thinking that the physical exercise and waste management are the sole purpose of walks.
We have a retired hunting dog, turned 11 on Sunday actually, and she's still ridiculously hard to tire by physical exercise. The only way to get her proper tired is mental stimulation. Sniffing is a big part of that. 30min calm patient walk is way better than 60min of "COME OON" -hurried impatient walk.
Disclaimer: not all dogs etc., but... most dogs.
I thank various gods every day for only having about 20% of my job be end user stuff, rest is project work. End users seem to think the ratio is the other way around, though...
That's what I thought as well, but after a brief clarification from EU, they meant they can work normally, but is worried about the scary message.
So can you work or not? I'm confused.

So which one of these pretty standard ingredients is the secret ingredient?
Concerta. Turns out I have ADD ¯(ツ)_/¯
I agree on the sourcream & onion, taffel's furious is delicious, but Oikia Musta Melody Black Garlic is absolutely without competition for top spot.
Taffel (FIN), Estrella (SWE) & Oikia (FIN) as well!
I did in the end end up painting it a nice blue colour with a rust protect metallic paint. First layer looked awful, second layer looked quite nice already, but I'm gonna add a third one today. The paint can recommended 3 layers for proper rust proof, so that's what I'm going by.
Why would you remind me of this on a Monday morning. Haven't I suffered enough :(
In all seriousness, great episode, definitely still makes me sad every time even when I know it's coming. Unpopular opinion, I think Futurama was on par with the best Simpsons seasons, and way better than most Simpsons seasons.
I am sincerely apologetic of posting content that you found not to be dull enough. I will try to be better in the future. Tool restoration indeed is interesting, but I thought merely soaking a tool in deruster for days would be dull enough :(
I will keep this advice in mind the next time I need to derust something. Thank you very much. Bought a house from the 80's from a family of the previous owner, and they left a whole bunch of potentially good tools and other stuff in there.
A badly maintained, clogged, greasy electric chainsaw is on my list of things to open up, clean and lube up as well. Looking forward to that. As a mainly electronics guy, I only very recently started doing simple mechanical repairs. Opened up a fan that had a hard time turning, found out there were no bearings, just a rod acting as the iron core inside a DC motor. Disassembled, applied generous amounts of acetone to relevant parts, dried it up and greased it up. Worked like a charm afterwards, and didn't even lose any screws.
I derusted a vise left by the previous tenant of the house
I had no free buckets to hold the derusting solution in that the vise would fit comfortably, so I had to use a plastic box that was too wide. It would not submerge fully in the 1 Liter of derusting solution I bought, I had to soak one side for 24 hours and then the other side for 24 hours. It mostly cleared the rust. I'm considering painting it now, but I don't think I'm going to.
I optimized our extension cords yesterday
I noticed that some of the extension cords around the house constantly had empty sockets or their cord was coiled up since it was far too long. Some others had cords constantly being swapped, or the cord was too short and it was laying on the floor, getting dry humped by the robot vacuum.
I took inventory of all the extension cords in the house, mapped their expected required length and socket amounts and swapped them around until I had one that was too long, and one unused socket.
I also have one spare long 3-socket one, since there was one outlet that had one un-used socket, and there were only 2 required, so I could remove the 3-socket long cord extension cord completely.
I haven't been this happy since I bought a gutter cleaner tool with an extendable handle, so I don't need to climb on the roof or on a ladder to clean the gutters.
PS4 turns off after 5 minutes, troubleshooting & repair tips requested
Hello,
so my old PS4 (Gen 1, I think, not a huge console person, it's my Bloodborne machine and nothing else) has an issue: it turns off after about 5 minutes of it being on, and when it reboots, it goes to safe mode, does some scans, boots and it happens again within 5 minutes.
At first I thought it was a heating issue or the old HDD breaking down, so I cleaned it thoroughly and replaced HDD with a new SSD. Issue did not go away, so in the name of troubleshooting, I blew cold air into it while it was on, but the exact same thing happened again. Have also reinstalled the OS clean when I swapped to the SSD, didn't do any cloning shenanigans.
Currently my theory is either the main board or PSU that's broken. One other idea I had was that the thermal compound has gone bad on CPU/GPU, but haven't tried replacing that yet, it seemed unlikely to be the issue after I increased the cooling temporarily, should have at least seen an increase in the time it stayed on by my logic.
I have ano
