What's Bothering You? (The thread about what is bothering you.)

[Usarise]

I just came to the realization that most of my friends are Electrical & Computer Engineers and I'm now a Computer Scientist at college.  They're all starting to get their famous workload that causes them to have to study all day & work late on projects.  I'm all alone oAo

I seriously ****ed up my b.face by trying to desolder an LED... so ****ing pissed, I destroyed one of the traces because of how hard it is to desolder leds, so a couple keys didn't register, and that was it, and ****ing genius me decides that I can fix it by soldering the two broken traces together. **** me with a stick, because I now have a whole column registering when I press any of the number keys... this really made me upset, and I type this on my HHKB. If I can't get it fixed, I might have to wait a bit before I can buy a new PCB. What can you take from this? Test your LEDs before putting them in your board.

That is too bad. I hope you can get it fixed easily!

What degree would that be? I wish I finished my other degrees but instead, I decided to switch in between finishing them  #Dumbchoices.

I traded a Nub Trooper to SpicyLobotomy and gave him a Judgemental skull I had for free because he asked. All this before his stunt and removal from GH. He seemed like an ok guy who was excited about the caps and had a board they'd match. Well he is now trying to sell the pair on r/mechmarket for $75. This is the first time cap markup has really annoyed me. I think this may be my motivation to really give up on reddit.

PM him on Reddit. He buys caps just to flip them. He always has a thread after HKP sales trying to sell them for markup. Post this on Reddit, hope no one buys from him. They already cross post from here anyways.

How/why was spicy removed? I must have missed something.

[Joey Quinn]

I don't know but he said his phone's ip was banned or something like that, he may have been lying.

Edit: Still stand by what I said but the ripster joke was a bit too far. 

[SpicyLobotomy]

How/why was spicy removed? I must have missed something.

I don't know but he said his phone's ip was banned or something like that, he may have been lying on reddit to **** on GH, but he did stop showing up here. He was probably promoted to a higher rank in ripster's army.

Edit: It looks like he still logs on, but either way **** him. 

Just wanna give a quick reply to all this. I buy and sell a lot of things. I constantly change my mind, and sell stuff when I do. I'm only on this site to buy artisan boards, not to interact with any of the idiots that plague it. Pwnnarwal or whatever is not correct when he says I sell HKP at a markup. I never have and I never will. Though I do not consider it a bad thing if someone did. Supply and demand (I assume most of you guys haven't learned basic econ yet) is not a bad thing. I was attempting to sell these caps, and I had no idea the value as they were trades from this Joey Quinn *****, who can politely go **** himself as well.

If you aren't interested in buying my caps, stay off my thread. Pretty damn simple. I have no interest in Ripster or GH for that matter. I'm glad you wasted your time worrying about this stuff. Makes me feel important.

As a side note, I never would have seen this thread if it wasn't for your buddy PwnNarwhal following me around and spamming me. Great people you have representing you. Peace

I had an appointment with Rogers today between 5 - 8PM to set up my internet (why they can't just provision my modem like a normal company...). I get a call at 3:52 confirming my appointment at 4PM. After arguing with the guy for four or five minutes, I agree to RACE home (2.2km) on foot in a snow storm to meet him by 4:15.

Best part? I get to my apartment by 4:13, call him (he is no where to be found in the lobby, where he said he would be waiting) and he says, "Oh, yeah. I'll be there in a few minutes."

****. ROGERS.

And now I have a 12 down, 9 up connection. Paying for 60/10. UGH.

Up to this move, our internet was fine. We were getting 58 down and pushing around 10 up without issue. Now? Not so much. We were supposed to get a USB LTE adapter a few days ago. That came in today. In time for Rogers to **** me around some more.

I would complain to the CRTC, but that'd be basically like calling Rogers to complain. You know, what with all the overlap and whatnot.

That bothers me. Its the same as when someone asks you a question, then does the opposite of what you advise. It frustrates me when my girlfriend does that!! "Should I wear the black or red dress?" "I think the black one looks better" "I think I will wear the red one."

My dad also knows a lot about computers, and can even build them, as he once would steal parts from a company that shared an office space, and to go on a tangent, he is surprised that Model Ms and SSKs are worth so much, as when he still worked there, they were thrown away by the dumpster. Back to the thread, he just tells people I don't know, and let's them ask someone else, usually me :|

My brother in law plays games and **** for like ~14 hours a day and when the slightest thing goes wrong he has no idea what to do and *****es to everyone constantly till someone fixes it for him or if something breaks he nags everyone till someone buys the part for him.
I asked him why he doesn't just take a day or something to learn about his system more and how to fix it he just told me, "because i only care about gaming and ****, i don't have time to waste learning how it works" He's like 20-22 unemployed living with his parents and gained significant weight after 20.

Anybody I play games with has built their own PC, and we talk about parts a lot, and I don't even game much anymore, but even still we talk about parts. That's just being lazy, and I feel bad for his parents :/

That's the part that blows my mind too man, cause that's how i learnt about computers was through gaming cause with PC gaming not everything works the way it should and you have to find out how to fix whatever weird issue you're having and that kind of teaches you your way around the OS and certain things there. And then yeah sometimes your hardware breaks and you need to troubleshoot to figure out how to fix that or what part you need to buy to fix it, a lot of times this leads into just building a new PC which is what it did for me. I talk about hardware with my buddies all the time too.
He just nags other people to do it since his uncle is very familiar with computers and his parents just don't want to deal with him nagging on top of them spoiling him but the worst part is that they're not even well off at all, I dunno man, he's just games and literally pays attention to nothing else except smoking a TON of pot.
One thing i do have to mention that i find impressive is his ability to not care at all about his hardware as long as his PC can play the game even at the lowest settings he's happy, something i have a hard time doing but lately it's made more sense since i game a lot less so it's just a glorified GeekHack machine lol.

I used to game a good bit, and have put around 4k hours in over the past 2 or 3 years on Steam, and easily 10k on Minecraft, but they have just lost interest with me, my machine is now a glorified internet machine, although I do also watch a lot of movies and television shows.
