Uuurrrgggh.
*Stuffs thoughts and emotions into the shredder*

Well.
Today, I have an appointment with the marriage counciler person.
I had decided that during this appointment, I would talk with my wife about getting a divorce, because... I can't do this anymore, and I know it.
The reason I was waiting for the appointment is because we would be in a place where there would actually be a chance of discussing things in a civil manner, with logical points.
WELL.
That didn't happen.
Because last night, we started arguing over crap (Specifically, she wanting me to apologize for considering leaving in the first place a while back ago, which was that night we spent apart) and I tried so many times to ask if it could wait just one day so we could discuss everything at the appointment.
Well, she wouldn't have that.
So I ended up having to tell her that I can't do this anymore, and I'm seriously wanting to get seperated. I tried talking about how I really don't want to, but I can not live like this for the rest of my life.
Lots of shouting insued, and we still have the appointment later today.

I am so utterly incapable of formulating my thoughts right now.


@Caroline: I would not call that being "unreasonable", since they were being total shitheads. I have had people do the exact same thing to me (with my own personal chess board, not a school one or anything) and I nearly stabbed them because people like that don't give the slightest shit about anyone but themselves.

I built that machine, except better, for about 1/2 that cost. But then again I'm not wasting money on things like water cooling and "internal lighting."

[Aseaheru]

Internal lighting? In a comp? Someone has more money than brains...

[timferius]

Internal lighting, hydraulics, spinning rims. *computer bounces around and falls off desk*

Maybe it's for the monitor? Some LCD monitors have that. Also, it might be a backlit keyboard, my laptop has that, nifty.

Though it sounds like it's internal lighting for the computer itself? One of those fancy transparent computer cases?

[nenjin]

My guess is it's some horrifically overpriced LED tubing that are attached to the inside of the case chassis. It's not like I'm opposed to case lighting. But you can get effectively the same thing with LED fans, and I'm guessing they won't cost half of what that probably does.

[smjjames]

Yeah, sounds like your brother slapped on a load of extras because he fell for the extras that they always try to sell you.

[MaximumZero]

Any computer geek worth his/her salt could build that for between half and a third of the cost

I built that machine, except better, for about 1/2 that cost.

I rest my case.

[Graknorke]

Nice catch.

[flabort]

My word, it's a pre-selected set then? Ugh.
That scares me.

[Sirus]

Argh, mandatory company safety training. There goes my plans for this morning.

[timferius]

Also, how does one hand test RAM?

Sounds like he went for the most flashy and most awesome thing then.

How old IS your brother? Just wondering, though maybe an inappropriate question.

Only inappropriate if you add a winky-smiley.
