teknoman2 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 i REALLY need to get a ryzen 3000 (when available) and a new mobo. my current combo has some sensor problem and throttles like crazy thinking the temperature is too high. i could even believe what the sensor indicated if it was something like 90C (even if it's quite impossible with the cooler i have) but it certainly did not reach 1200C as the sensor indicates The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What?

teknoman2 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 i hate the internet in my country i have a 50mbps VDSL and there are 4 boxes in a 500m radius around my house but they connected my line to a box at over 2km so i get under 20mbps speed instead of 40+. i told them about it over a month ago and nothing. and now, for the last few days the speed dropped to 10 so i have to call again tomorrow. and i can't change ISP because this is the only one who has a line where i live. this situation is the only reason that makes me consider my uncle's offer to move to Germany The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain.

BruceVC Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I went to a really good seafood restaurant today called Panama Jacks, its based on the harbor and offers views of the ships coming in and general bay area https://panama-jacks.com/ The weather was perfect today in Cape Town, sunny with pristine sky. I shared a seafood latter with a friend and then went out for late afternoon drinks and early dinner with a lady friend I met on Tuesday evening so it was a great, social and entertaining day "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

majestic Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 My parents bought a new TV, I helped them set it up. Netflix, Prime Video, the works. When did setting up a new TV (and monitors, for that matter) become it's own science, and why in the everflazing buck do all companies do their damndest to make the default settings a terrible mess you have to sort through for half an eternity to get the best image quality out of your hardware? I mean, what's the point of being able to stream 4k content when its reduced to looking like a daytime soap opera due to motion smoothing(tm)? Honestly companies, I know we're being inclusive in this day and age and I fully support that, but maybe don't hire blind people to QA your screens? Please? No mind to think. No will to break.

Guard Dog Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I cleaned out the camper, had a few drinks and ordered some books on my Kindle and a few "real" ones too.

Hurlshort Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I also worked on my camper. The door handle had been damaged, so I replaced that. One of the awning arms also got pushed in. The RV is just a big plywood box, so I pulled it out, put in some wood filler, then put a piece of sheet metal over it. Then I drilled some holes are reattached the arm. It was all a bit tricky, and made me miss my father-in-law's advice. He passed away over the winter, and was basically my mentor when it came to any mechanical work. I used his tools, so hopefully I didn't embarrass him. He passed away partially due to diabetes complications, so I am participating in a Diabetes fundraiser ride in a few weeks. Here is the link, if anyone is interested in contributing. I'd appreciate it: http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR/?px=15363308&pg=personal&fr_id=12752 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepenthe Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I came back to visit the Obsidz board for a change... I’ll try to come back a bit more, maybe. Haven’t done much gaming in the past couple of years. Started working out seriously and painting miniatures (mostly Necromunda). I find it’s a lotmore efficient as stress relief. Really busy in real life these days. Can’t pretty much say what I do in any detail I could accidentally dox myself for the Finns. Litigation with a lot of high profile cases, probably at the top of my career. 6 You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

teknoman2 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 my internal conflict between my desire for money and my hate for work has intensified to the point that it makes me feel depressed. if only i could win the lottery so i can maintain my current lifestyle without spending most of my day doing something i hate but i'm not lucky enough for this... after all, if i were lucky i'd have been born in a rich family to begin with. 1 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain.

Gfted1 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 ^Amen brother. Sometimes I float the idea to my wife to sell all of our possessions and cash out our retirement plans and go live on some inexpensive island somewhere. Then she always calls my bluff and says "okay, lets go" and Im all like "what about medical / dental insurance" and then I go to work. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melkathi Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Today I spend 3 hours cutting out letters and gluing them together to form my first blackmail letter. I live next to the national theater, and they rehearse for a special showing of the Oresteia. So I send them a letter saying: Orestes, I know you plan to kill Clytemnestra and Aegisthus. If you don't want police and the Erinyes to know, leave tickets to the show by the gate to the theatre's yard. A neighbor I'll keep an eye out for any tickets. Maybe they have a sense of humour to match mine The actual letter is in Greek, but I'll provide a photo anyway Edited June 7, 2019 by melkathi added image 2 3 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Azdeus Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Got the great honour of working 5 hours overtime since my boss gave two yard jockeys vacation at the same time without checking for a replacement first, so today I've been a yard jockey/dispatcher/gateguard while teaching two new people the art of driving backwards with trailers. Terrible timing though since today I recieved a visit from a Canadian relative, didn't get more than a couple of hours to speak to her today. Got to love well organized vacationplanning... Good luck on Sunday Hurlshot!
