Other What's ruining your life right now?

Not ruining, annoying.

It took less than a week to get our first scam phonecall. Automated female American 'from visa' about a '£600 payment' to 'Western Union'. 'Press 1 to cancel the payment'...

GTFOH.

Dunno why I answered tbh, the only people who phone our landline are scammers nowadays.

Oh and my mum. That's a tad less annoying.

 

Nice suggestion but it's already been dispatched, i figured having a bit more leeway maybe a good thing, i was going to get a £30-40 GPU but plumped for something with a little life in it.

 

Radioactive iodine you say ?

Your cat is Delusional, get him to the infirmary

its like, dude i just wanted to read this news article... i guess i will try to find it elsewhere

3 websites later... i guess this news article isnt important enough for me to read

 

Standard treatment for thyroid issues, even in humans...

 

yeah i know, i was making a Chernobyl reference

 

If you mean the TV series, it was lost on me (not watched it; no plans to).

 

Don't forget "very loosely translated from site AA."

 

My Corsair CX650M is bloody loud all of a sudden. That's the 3rd CX series PSU with the same fan bearing issue I've had. I'm done with their low quality PSUs and just ordered an RM750X.

 

Realising a job interview offer went into my spam box 8 days after the interview date???
Bad day

 

Trying to get Travel Insurance.

Loads of companies provide cover for skiing, snowboarding, even shark cage diving. Yet say the words downhill and mountain bike and you would think I had just donned a white robe and set fire to a cross.

 

Seems bizarre, a lot of the Alpine resorts you ski down you can go down on mountain in the off season.

Edit: Now i've never used these so i can't vouch for them but they seem to be a ski based insurer that also caters for mountain bikers https://www.snowcard.co.uk/mountain-biking-travel-insurance

Looks like they're underwritten by a big firm, may be worth checking out?

 

No, the fan sounded like the bearing is out of balance. A little like grinding gears. It has stopped now, so I cancelled the order for the RM series PSU. Maybe I should get a new fan as well. Anything I should know before replacing the stock fan?

 

That's who I've gone with, you were not the first person to bring them up and a few of my biking buddies have experience with them.

Insurers seem to consider 'mountain biking' as pootling along gravel or tarmac paths by lakes. As soon as the words lift assisted, downhill, enduro etc get involved their extreme sports alarm sets off.

 

Well, things just got a lot worse. Got a call from the hospital my mum's in right now that she had an allergic reaction to some antibiotic today, is in intensive care now and if I didn't have a patient decree they probably wouldn't be able to save her. Luckily I have one here and am legally in a position to ask/tell them to do everything they can to help her. But how am I going to sleep tonight? Not at all, that's right.

Damn....

 

Jeez dude, sorry to hear, fingers crossed for you both.
