All this weather stuff, aiee. Yeah, I'm a floridian that wishes I lived somewhere that was about 50f just... year round. All of it. And rainy. I could probably do without the -50f, but if I have to choose between -50f and 110f, I'm gonna' be skinning me some bears for a coat. Especially when it's florida 110f and you can do a convincing backstroke three feet off the ground and manage buoyancy. I want to live in a bog. A swamp that's too cold for bugs and snakes. Yes. This is the way.

Anyway. Happy is managing to put the laptop back together without any superfluous parts and having everything seeming to work properly afterwards. That puts my record at ~66%! And I'm pretty sure the one that things didn't turn out well wasn't because of me. Or at least not my dis/reassembly capabilities. But anyway. Laptop's still working, so all is well. These things are surprisingly easy to take apart, just kinda' time consuming.

And the people designing them probably needs to be beat with a stick until their brains start working again. There's a lot of pretty damned stupid things done in these machines. But. Yeah. Functioning!

No.

+1. Not advisable if you've got mild allergies, though.

I'm fond enough of mountain dew. It's smoother than stuff like coke or pepsi, though as with all of the things the taste leaves a bit to be desired.

That said, mountain dew makes a bloody excellent base for green tea if you've got a sweet tooth. Turns out like a cross between molten grapes and molten sugar. It's a bit of a big if, though, because the stuff is seriously, seriously sweet.

As for favorites... root beer of some sort. Generally Barqs (Killer when used as a base for gojiberry tea), but the whole host of the rest of them tend to be excellent as well. I'll drink a bit of coke-cola when I've got a sore throat, because for some ungodly reason it sooths them for me.

The worst I've had's all been off brand stuff. Some are pretty decent, a lot are g'damn nasty.

The one I miss the most... blueberry minute maid. Not for the drink it self. No. Because if you mix a half glass of blueberry minute maid with a quarter glass of pepsi and a quarter glass of dr. pepper, it turns swamp-water green and tastes absolutely delicious. They haven't sold blueberry minute maid where I'm at for years, and knockoff brand blueberry stuff generally tastes pretty bad.

My general advice! MIX AND MIX SOME MORE! Apple juice goes pretty well (in a relative sense, in that it's drinkable at all) with coke and mountain dew and pepsi. Most sodas when mixed end up tasting like children's chewable aspirin for some ungodly reason, especially if orange soda of some sort is involved.

S'all I got at the mo'. Except that I will never drink diet soda. The stuff in soda that kills you isn't what that stuff takes out That and most artificial sweeteners taste absolutely foul to me

Do note there's a non-zero chance the thermal paste has heated itself into the aether, especially if you've had the computer for a decent period. If the dust being removed doesn't help, that might be it. Well, at least on laptops. I actually don't know if desktop fans use the stuff, but I'd guess so. Might still be worth checking, I guess.

In related news, and possibly due for OOC thread, fuck stripping screws with a brick. My hatred of screws has grown another notch this day, and its entirely the bastards' propensity to strip that has caused this.

Something may have come loose in the laptop or... something. Battery's not charging despite a fully functioning power cord going into it. This is... not particularly good. Seriously not looking forward to losing decent computer access for the second time in less than a year, especially considering I've only had my hands on this one for a couple weeks.

Looks like I get to try disassembling a second HP Pavilion laptop, ugh. S'a good thing this one didn't cost me anything, but at this point I'm not going to be buying from HP in the future Wasn't exactly planning to anyway, but small chance hath become nil.

*stay up as late as possible in order to attempt to not let a nap ruin sleeping schedual, despite basically falling asleep standing* *pass out at ~7:30 pm, having struggled as long as possible* *wake back up about 2 and a half hours later, almost completely refreshed* *FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU*

My hope that there's an afterlife and anthropomorphic representations of various forces/processes in the world continue unabated. If there is, I don't care if it takes the rest of eternity to get it done, there's some sumbitches whose limb equivalents I'm breaking, repeatedly. Human physiology has this long damn list of concepts that need limbs broke. My afterlife's goal is to track these fuckers down and make their existences worse.

Even if it's already a living nightmare! I don't give a shit. Bone breakage is on principle, at this point. Something violent and whatever's the equivalent of pain filled in this hypothetical afterlife existence.

Something just got another check put on the metaphorical list tonight.

Something something own damn fault should have taken precautions something. Oh, not yours? Own problem being born into family that couldn't. Society wants you to suffer fully experience the rigors of parenthood. Even if you're not the parent. And completely unrelated and uninterested. So. Have fun! Ahahaha!

Seriously though I don't think they actually get loud enough to break noise laws, in most situations. Gotta' love the little sadistic hedonists. Or else.

But nah, kids don't bother me, even the noisy ones. They're like bipedal cats. I appreciate that. E: Because if I didn't, they'd drive me straight barking insane. Jedi mind trick, yo'.

Maybe just say "buggerit" and roll the E damage into an AP scaling thing? Something pretty low (tlvl/100? 1 AD per 20 AP at 5/5? Base 5/tlvl plus that?), but there. Make sion an AP melee bruiser or somethin'.
