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

[Aran.E99]

Woke up at 12am after going to sleep at 9pm last night. Not the first time this has happened so I'm trying to make sense of it..

happens to me all the time, i go to bed at 10pm, wake up at about 1pm. go to bed at 2am, wake up at 9am, like today 

Dis bad for u... i heard..   messes with the circadian rhythm, which may increase your susceptibility to germz by dampening your immune system.

Some years ago I worked the night shift (11pm - 7am). Kinda messed me up hehe. Same with you Aran.E99?

nope, i just used to sit up all night playing video games and it messed with my body clock, now i can never sleep at night but wake up early. i might need to get it checked out :p

[xtrafrood]

Yup. Ask your doc how he or she can wean you off the video games. Said no one, ever. (Well.. aside from the people that run the quit gaming boot camps in China and surrounding areas..)

I checked out one of those.. Pretty much, it's exactly like Regular summer camp..  The stuff parents sent their kids to BEFORE xbox.

I spent almost a grand on new tires, brakes, lifetime alignment and an oil change today.

Last week my tires were low on tread and my brakes were squealing so bad csmertx and Data could probably hear them across town. So, I'm happy I had a rainy-day fund to get all that fixed, but ouch!!

Car problems suck man, but good you had the money for it.  This past winter I got my tax refund and replaced a transmission in the same week, had about $100 left

I don't have much time in the evenings, and I just spent 5 minutes typing up a response to another post, decided it was too acerbic, and closed the tab without posting.

Now I'm wasting time writing a post about being bothered about not posting the other post.

Letter came through my door from my ISP saying my internet, tv and phone will be down for a day. WTF. Guess I will have to communicate with CB or UHF radio. (I wish I could afford that stuff ). Guess I will have to use my outdated phone

The public library probably has internet computers that you can use.

it's fine, my phone is working great with 3G. my internet is now back on but the tv and phone line are still down. the letter did say to expect services to go up and down multiple times as its for testing. not sure how long this session will last...

who's ready for an update on my terrible week?

i finally left for work. i was painting a table and 4 chairs in someones garden. first - i HATE spiders. that really didn't help. second - it was hot, and for england, i mean HOT. my pale skin cooked to a crisp on minutes. finally, i was exhausted - probably because i don't exercise much.

after i got home, i walk into my kitchen to find a big moth. nice

I managed to hack a lump out of the end of the middle finger on my left hand yesterday.  I washed it, put antiseptic cream on it and a bandaid.

I haven't wanted to look at it since.

It hurts to type, so I can't type properly with my left hand.

This is so frustrating.

But maybe a dry run for a month's time when I have an operation on my left arm and might not be able to use it at all for a few days.

I regularly close my eyes with my palms, take breaks, look far away and massage the eyes. Also, I'm typing this post with my eyes closed.

Flux is installed and run.

Nothing of that helps.

Code: [Select]

When I want to turn the contrast down a bit. Finally made a shortcut to the bash script so I can switch it off/on with a few clicks. Also kills the viewing angle for privacy. But still, only so much is going to help if you're concentrating with a ferocity

So I have been off marijuana for about a week+ now and my thoughts are going 1000mph. The constant buzzing of my brain and excess energy are literally driving me insane, and on top of it I haven't been sleeping well either. I am constantly bored when not at work and cannot stand the company of being alone with my non-medicated self at home. It feels like I just did a few rails of coke... all the ****ing time and I am acutely obsessive about anything requiring detail work. I do not believe my brain was meant to be sober, because this manic feeling is entirely unpleasant.

 if you think that you are feeling, lets say, manic, when not medicated, you should probably get it checked out. you could just wait because it is a normal symptom but if it stays longer, do get it checked out. apart from that, i guess it's good that you are not using it but i really can't say because i have never tried it (unless it's prescribed and you need it for a condition which you should get checked out). some people on this forum can't sleep (including me) so you are not alone. its 1am here and i feel like its mid-day.

The car's at the mechanic again.
It's going to be at least $500 to fix. Considering our other options at this point because this car is almost's finished.

IMO, when your yearly insurance and repair bills start approaching your car's value, it's time to get a new one. Even though Camrys scream "My life is average", TP4 is spot on.

I think it should work fine on zen, since it's gonna be a much bigger die..

Waterloop hasn't been useful on Intel except on 6 and 8 core.


ALSO.. off the shelf water loops are a stupid waste of money..


You can Go to the salvage places and get GIANT air-conditioner radiators for $50

Get some pipe threads welded on there from a welding place for $20, and you can Cool 10 CPUs and 10 gpus off that with a $15 boxfan..

I had a sealed loop, one of the early Corsair H50s or something which was actually pretty good. It only started leaking after like 2 years.

I don't know what you mean by working on zen or the die...

Waterloop doesn't work on 3xxx series intel and up because their contact surface is too small, making water cooling no better than air cooling.

it works on the 6 and 8 core, because they're larger, and are also soldered.

They know how to take the pre-order they just don't know how to hold the shoes, and if you think about it that's really the most important part.

White Southern Californian.  Can confirm your taco or burrito is **** and not real Mexican.


Then again, if you ever get a  mission style burrito (which is delicious), that's not real Mexican either.
