Has mother****ing saved me twice this week.
1. Aircon stops working, display is giving me mixed signals. I turn it off, I turn it on. I do this for the outside power switch also. No luck. I go online figure out what the flashing lights mean. It tells me the inside system is not communicating with the outside system. I **** bricks, that sounds expensive. I **** more bricks because it is hot AF and I don't want to sleep in the hot AF weather especially if I come off night shift. I then pass one final brick as all the aircon techs love fishing and it is fine ass fishing weather. Well as a last ditch effort I go to the fuse box. I locate that mother****ing switch for the air-con circuit. I actuate that mother****er to open. I leave it for 20 long ass minutes. I grab it and throw that ***** back to closed. I go inside and turn on my aircon. It springs to life and I thank the wind gods for protecting me against the sun gods.
2. I go outside for jogging (I am just about the hit the downward slope of life so it is time get serious about health again after a bit of lazyness). I come back to my big 2k monitor I bought off Gumtree a few years ago is not on. It is on but it is not displaying anything. I fiddle with my diddles. Nothing. I flick some buttons. nothing. I turn it off and on at the switch. Nothing. I pull out the cable and try the cord from the other monitor that goes in a different hole. nothing. I **** bricks. still nothing. I start to get desperate, I ask Satan for a favor. He tells me to **** myself as I did not pay him back for the last one. I have two options. try another device, or unplug this ***** and let it power down like like my brain after a night of drinking. I opt to power down. I plug it back in and boom I am greeted with a purple benq startup. I thank the electron gods for the gift I am now receiving.
So now I have used all my luck points up, Satan wants payment and I still have a third device **** up to come to complete the trifecta.

Best avoid using anything expensive until you find something cheap to break. Maybe a toaster, kettle or ... no, that's about it for cheap tech I can think of. Hot drinks and toast are just what you need in a heatwave!

fanpeople, you have all these problems because you are a heathen. You need to turn to Christ and everything will start working.

Australia has too much radiation from all dat uranium mining.. killz electronix.

Power drain fixes most stuff believe it or not.

Well that was quick, the old nail to the tyre trick this morning. Bought the car new, about 8 weeks ago. $200 for a new one not repairable apparently as it is too close to the sidewall. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
Lucky I found it whilst the vehicle was parked and not doing 100 down the freeway. But still pretty dirty about having to get a new tyre to replace my 8 week old tyre.
In this case, turning it off and on again has failed me.
At least the trifecta is now complete.

Man I wish I had had taken this advice more seriously and not touched my new car for a few days.

Australia has too much radiation from all dat uranium mining.. killz electronix.
Been to an old uranium mine, the green/blue taint on the rocks is quite pretty.
Power drain fixes most stuff believe it or not.
2/3 problems is not a bad hit rate.

tech-illiterate people just assume that if you're good with computers, you know how to solve their problems.
