    I came home from school once and my mother was crying on the Sofa. I went to her "Mum, what happened, why are you crying?" And she turned to me and with such seriousness said "I broke my favourite cup".

    No, it was a blessing.

    Tea should be served in a pint mug. :p

    For those with broken crockery, look up Kintsugi.

    The users of Ebay.

    Oh no I fitted this new PSU to my PC and now the CPU fan runs all the time, it couldn't possibly be a setting I changed the PSU must be faulty. I'll send the seller a message that describes nothing on a Sunday afternoon, then when he hasn't responded an hour later I'll file a full on returns request! How dare he not be at home at 1pm on a Sunday!

    Managed to coax a little more information out of them, I think they've been dicking about with the CPU voltage, I offered some advice, we'll see if they take it.

    Sometimes I wish there was a remote detonation setting in Corsair link.

    PS. And I wish one of you lot had made an offer when I had it in the classifieds!

    Bought a res/bay from Ebay. Last night my Tbalancer BigNG, Volt meter and temp meter all fried (you know, the smell of doom).

    Took the loop apart, tested the pump.. Dead. Looked closely, pigeon s**t soldering. One of the wires had snapped and shorted, burning out other parts.

    On the plus side, a £50 second hand GPU will provide more performance than your 570 ever did.

    I feel your pain 570 brother. I'm hoping mine will keep going when I retire it in the next few months.

    Anxiety and depression are royally kicking my arse over the last day or so

    i dont really have any friends or meaningful human contact outside my family

    and Autism means i dont really deal with social situations that well...

    bleh

    Edit Just to ruin my day some more, my mom asks me to make her a cup of tea and some slim fast for breakfast, so thats what i made her, only for her to change her mind and have a go at me anyway for making her slim fast instead of cereal.

    i honestly dont think im ever going to understand people, i just stumble through life feeling like a complete outsider, i dont think i have ever felt more alone, its been weeks since my last social encounter, i have no friends or prospects for my future, and everyday those around me only reinforce my isolation
