Well, good job with the whole save-wife-from-venomous-snake thing.
I have to say, I don’t mind living in a condo in the sky where I don’t have any snake hooks to run out to get.

I am sure the snake was trying to figure a way to get outside. They only cause problems when people blunder into them. Of course, I oppose snakes inside the house. One of the chief mysteries of life is how they get in, which happens a few times each year. This is the first venomous one that I have seen inside. The odd thing is that my wife never notices them. The most exciting incident was a few years ago. She had been in the small bathroom for about an hour, bathing and doing whatever women do. She came out, I went in, and the first thing I saw was a huge rat snake (5 feet+) along the wall under the sink. Of course it was harmless, but the idea that she had been in such a small space for so long with such a big snake really freaked her out.
But I am pretty good at catching critters. I keep snake hooks and a bucket with a lid handy most of the time. When we lived in the city, I was more worried about whether the neighbors were careful about fire safety.

That really deserves to be used again in some future context yet TBD.

I deal with the same problems with 100%-non-threatening, definitely-not-dangerous-in-the-slightest spiders. Considering the reaction those generate from my 5-year-old, I am incredibly thankful it’s not snakes.
(Though who really knows, maybe my 5-year-old would be more okay with snakes than spiders, it’s not like any of it makes sense)

I live in deep trumpistaan… and to people like many in my family? He can do no wrong. IT’s dirty lazy crybaby libtards that are the cause of every social and moral evil in america and why decent hardworking people like them are getting sucked dry.
They do this because they don’t wantto realize ‘hey we backed A FUCKING MORON.’ They are looking for easy ways that the country has failed them and their families that put the blame on anything other than themselves or their parents.
Democrats make it so easy to hate liberals though by playing ot every us v them stereotye of ‘educated democrats preaching they now better.’ to ‘look at you country idiots here let’s make fun of you no you can’t make racist sexist jokes. Also you can’t shit all over steve and earl because they wanna get married.’ There is this very real ‘white people are the only race able to be made fun of, and christianity is now a minority that is also constantly getting made fun of.’ Looking thorugh reddit and that gets confirmed constantly with posts like ‘oh. you’re christian. well why not kiss my feet talk these anti-sychotics and call me when you stop being fucking mental so we might maybe have convrosation like adults.’
The problem I see is it’s ‘us v them’ constantly. Yes Trump Supporters hold dear to things I don’t like, but we are all in the same boat so shoving them aside just ot feel better isn’t going to help. There needs to be reaching out… how I don’t know given i keep hearing a chorus of ‘libtard nation! we live in the libtard naaatiooooon’ from my stepdad.
I’m tired of being constantly angry. Like today. Today we’re doing general improvements, but even with everyone being reletively behaved. None of the usual ‘hey libtard crybaby idiot moron guess what?’ business. Just me and my stepdad being reletively productive… even with that. Every peep. Every noise. Every half-growl from my braindamaged sister at me has made me want to punch things. This is not healthy as i"m snappish. I’ve gotten two strikes on the warframe subreddit because I’ve been overeager to box. I’ve gotten a strike on the official forum for acting like a jackass when i felt shoved. Being angry costs me what little social awareness i have.
nd i have no damned idea how to stop reflexivly ‘well fuck you I’m going to tell you why daring to talk about me is a horrifyingly bad ida because i hate you blah blah blah blah rabble rabble snarl snarl.’

Sorry you’re going through all that. I have a long list of relatives I can’t talk politics with, but fortunately I don’t live with any of them. That must be really hard.

CR48 might finally be toast.
OK so the hinge fails. FIne, this is known problem go get epoxy to do a repair. So I get epoxy and when doing a teardown I do a final switch on/off to make sure i have everything seated correctly before applying (since i want to make sure if any epoxy accidentally goes where it shouldn’t i haven’t permanently sealed a cable in a bad spot’ and the monitor turns on, but displays no information. As in ‘blank’ ‘on.’
I see no mangled cable spots. I’m not sure what might have come loose. Yes it is an old underpowered machine, but it is mine. I wish to keep my things in as good a condition as possible.

Heat / fan issues? Summer can aggravate cooling problems

Possibly, but it already had PSU issues from the dodgy power at my previous house and there was a power cut on Monday while it was running. It’s also not that hot here (26°C tomorrow, too hot for me with the British humidity but probably not for a PC)

My grandparents kept a sharpened hoe, for lopping off the heads of timber rattlers and copperheads from a distance. I like your method better!

Not so much a Fuck Today, more a follow on to my previous post.
My gaming PC is a write off, the motherboard keeps having intemittent failures. It couldn’t even run Windows in safe mode without having a BSOD. My second drive had it’s file system mangled beyond recognition (not critical data, and it’s not like I don’t make regular backups anyway).
I have a temporary loan of a PC from a friend until I can build a new one for myself.
