               Tomorrow I bury a dream alongside most of my interpersonal relationships. I'll build the lame ass tricycle, unmotorized because I'm done done, not a cent more. That'll extend my reach by zilch because it'll requre more leg strength just to bring some thing awkward to the supermarket that is hard to secure from theft.


You know I'm ultra burned out and so babysteps I basically aimed for having my help drill 4 holes... We're obviously going to miss something and I'll be stuck soon again and I'd have gotten help from somewhere else. Just let me be able to hold a measure tape against something more accomplished I am too burned out to retrace the enormous abstraction work I did earlier when I planned all this. 2750€ for a stupid fucking tricycle I hate it conceptually... easily another 3k in parts and tools and shit... countless hours... I can pile up my garbage but what the hell am I going to do with 20kg of factory sealed lithium ion batteries.


The absolute worst is I understood him correctly despite the poor wording, and when I made sure in text he reverted to the wrong answer... Nobody could be as stupid as to not know when they travel into a foreign country, what an abject fucking liar. I don't want nothing to do with none of the people in my life anymore. I'll concede readily that my self esteem is justifiably low, but god everybody I know IRL fucking sucks.

Although I have no lessons today, the tiny trip to the street market is canceled due to the rainy weather and the blister on my left foot. (I created it during the weekly 3-kilometers-jogging practice yesterday, that time I felt hurt but I didn’t pay attention to it and thought it was just some small rocks entered my shoes until I finished the practice , I found that I the blister was broken and I became a lame duck…)
It’s the second day of my new term, I get along well with my new roommates but they studied too hard that even makes me feel stressed. One of them studied 50% of the physiology totally by himself during the summer holiday. I have confidence in my new term’s classes. But it seems that I may lose the competition with my classmates .

[Great Order]

Bored. Or maybe a bit tired, they're similar enough I often struggle to differentiate the two.

Got a snazzy new GPU recently, bit of a power hog compared to the current one so a new PSU was in order. A friend offered his old one, has some mileage on it as a mining rig but it's a chunky little bastard that should work well enough. Came with a mess of cables, like half a dozen PCI-E ones and some others. Didn't look too closely at it until today when I planned to do the whole replacement thing. Tear out the old one, make note of the important cables and start to connect the replacement in.

Except it's missing the CPU cable for whatever reason :V

It's sunday so shops aren't open, so no running out and grabbing a new cable just for this either.

Why not use the old PSU cables you ask? The little bastard has integrated cabling so that's a no go :V

So my day off which was supposed to be spent replacing and troubleshooting this is no longer that and I'll have to try and do this tomorrow after work mostly likely.

The 'd' key on my keyboard busted, now it pops out repeatedly and when it does, it doesn't work. It looks like its held in by tiny hooks or something and they must have broke. Becomes a massive pain in the ass because every time I try to press it I have to try to keep it from popping out.

[Frumple]

Yeah, that transitioning into something even more annoying is why there's a keyboard plugged into my laptop right now, heh. It's a lot easier to just get a new one if you're on a proper desktop, though, so hey. Bonus points keyboards are pretty cheap, decent odds you can just bum one off someone or somethin'.

As it turns out, most power cable setups are manufacturer if not model specific so getting a wrong one can lead to some fun times.

To make things more annoying there's literally zero markings on the PSU, like, not a single letter to indicate who the hell made things thing. Doubly fun is that the friend I got it from can't recall either since he got it years ago :V

So now I'm buying a whole goddamn PSU because I'm missing a single cable and I don't wanna risk frying my stuff by trial and erroring my way to a correct one :I

So, I began my driving courses yesterday. I had already went through the theoretical stage and now I am actually driving a car... So much to consider. Pressing the clutch pedal when shifting gears, do not forget to signal turns, stop by using both clutch and break otherwise the engine will stop in the middle of the road, break at every bump, always remember exactly where the steering wheel points... Not to mention the sheer volume of live, spontaneous information you have to consider. I guess it is fun. But, like, this is definitely not the best way of transportation.

[hector13]

I don’t like driving, but I learned to drive relatively old (27 I think) and I also drive an automatic so I only have to worry about one foot.

Once you get into it a bit, some of the movements you have to do become automatic, and you learn to filter out information too.

Always be scanning!

fedex has finally killed access to their older website layout for shipping

the new one is very noticeably worse; slower, still buggy despite having been rolling this out for like the last year, basic work stuff is harder to access and do, it's lost basic features, even the compact view is less compact than the previous, etc. strict downgrade with no upsides from the user perspective

took like an hour and a half to beat the thing into letting me use it without like bloody quadrupling the amount of stuff i have to print -- eventually figured it out but even best practice i can work out is still going to be slower than it was before this nonsense because apparently they never actually asked someone that uses the damn thing if what they were doing is a good idea

everything i do at work related to it has become more difficult, presumably because some idiot ceo wanted a shinier UI on the shipping backend people with a real job have to use

I just watched the debate and that basically upsets me.

I don't even want to talk about the subjects, because a ton of it just has so many lies and people get violently mad about it.
Most of the worst ones were from Trump like how he said babies were aborted after birth:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/debate-moderator-slams-trump-false-023304796.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall

It's just nuts. I'm sorry. I'm just. It's not true. That's not how anything works. Logically, whether you are for or against it shouldn't matter. Even if a person is the most anti abortion person ever, it's a massive lie. It's shouldn't matter what anyone believes or even touch on the issue itself, because the lie ... is a lie. And, there are so many that the average person can't straighten it all out.

I just want something normal, and this isn't it.

[hector13]

They’re on about illegal immigrants abducting pets and eating them.

They’re not living in reality.

I missed the first hour, but based on the bit I did see, Trump talked a lot of nonsense.

[Great Order]

Illegal immigrants getting gender-reassignment surgery in prison too. That was a fun one to read about.

EDIT: Accidentally inhaled a bit of balsamic vinegar. Holy shit does it suck balls. That's what I get for making a late-night salad since I was starving.

Exam stress... My driving exam is this Saturday. I have little to be afraid. Yet, you know?

[Magmacube_tr]

DRIVING EXAM IS TOMORROW!!!
