| Few Random Caturday Things
PC Case
After highlighting my "displeasure" with my previous case almost cooking my mobo, I went on the quest of finding a case. Fuck, I thought cases were getting fake and gay a decade ago but now they are... Not as bad honestly. Seems a lot of the really bad trends are done and gone with. The only thing left seems to be tempered glass and rgb lighting. Which I don't have any and all problems with.
I'm a klutz by nature so giving me anything glass is HEHEHEHheHEHEhHEHE not good. The rgb lighting is more of a "keeps me awake at night" old man complaint since my main pc right by my bed.
I'm honestly quite pleased with how case design has been going to the last time I looked for case that either wasn't
A. Complete shit design using high quality parts
or
B. Low quality metal looking to rip your skin a part but a has decent design look
Cutting The Ditch
Being that I live in rural setting on a main busy road where the posted speed limit is 80km but people go 100km (60mph) like it's nothing, I always look on with dismay when I have to cut the ditch.
Why? Today while I was cutting the ditch and looking both ways to make sure no cars were aiming for my old man ass, it actually happened.
Some stupid stereotypical Karen giving a mid 2010 chevy truck decide to lay on the horn and aim her truck at me by going on the shoulder while I was facing the other way cutting the ditch from east to west. The outter tire missed me by less than a foot and I actually couldn't see for a brief time because the dirt and rock from the shoulder came flying up into my face and eyes.
She stopped her truck a good 30 yards down from me, got out and started ranting and raving at me until she noticed I wasn't the person who she thought I was... I honestly mean I say that "Nothing ever surprises me anymore." and that statement still holds true.
I told her just go away and if she wanted trouble, I have camera's all over the lot filming (12 cameras) at all times because of people like her. She got back in the truck and took off without a word spoken.
We have a community watch program here where you can report drivers for doing gay stuff and the police 100% follow up on those reports. Needless to say, I filed a report directly at the cop shop before writing this, kek.

| Return To Leddit
>So I needed to ask a question on /r/plumbing and got a quick answer that helped me mend a pipe. >Saw my local city had an active subreddit >Joined it >Saw it's mostly Communist/mentally deranged people, don't care >Someone makes a thread asking about something IT related >I respond to it >8 hours later I find out I was downvoted to -30 and those same deranged communist reply that they don't like my "PPC" oriented username. >Call them out as complete retards. >Get kicked from the subbredit a few hours later. >Follow day, find out your account is suspended >File an appeal. >Next day, your account is now perma banned
KEK, my first ban on Leddit was understandable as I was egging people on but a perma ban over saying retarded? That's just retarded.
New account made.

| What I Have Learned From Roofing
Meh
1. It's hard work when you solo, regardless. 2. You are at the mercy of the weather. 3. Dealing with tarps is dangerous stuff. 4. You look at hot weather in a new way after being on a black roof during it. 5. While tarps are dangerous, they are your life saver, so treat them well. 6. Having to repair the decking (wood underneath it's nailed to) is very time consuming and can leave you mentally drained.
EEEE :-)
1. You have just learnt a new skill, congrats. 2. You have just lost 20 pounds without trying, congrats. 3. You, without any help from the fakers have accomplished the job others have said that you were nuts for doing. 4. You know your work is good and don't have to worry if Pablo and son took your money and ran. 5. Money, you saved yourself thousands of dollars.
In the end, I prob saved a good $5000 - $7000 in doing the job myself. This doesn't even include clean up which would be another $2000 for renting a bin. I spent $500 total in taking the trailer to the dump and using a rake to push a yard or so of heavy shingles out each run.
Renting a bin means I'm on a time schedule of a week to get it all done which LOL ROLCOPPERSDFLKS:LDKSL:K~ wasn't going to work out this year since I had a lot of repairs to make and the sheer amount of rain we have gotten means I had to wait.
What Would I Do Differently Next Time?
I would buy a nailing gun instead of hammering it all down by hand. The job would be faster and less wear on my arm joints, which are still recovering.
sorry, we have more important shit to worry about at home

| dock workers in the US went on strike today
lmao
>fox news suck my dick. it's the first one i found
it's a strike over them (probably) losing their jobs to automation. for fair compensation and all that.
the union leader, Harold Daggett, has told the us govt the ILA Union would "cripple it all" to prove a point if the govt and union could not agree on a contract - and they haven't.
B A S E D
============
[edit 12:06pm]
>offered to increase wages more than 50% >rejected LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
• ABC philadelphia - "Dockworkers at Eastern and Gulf ports go on strike, a standoff risking new shortages"
[edit 12 OCT 2024] evidently it didn't last a fucking day and they have suspended the strike until january "to allow time to negotiate." lame.
