Other What's ruining your life right now?

20-30 min power walk a day is fine for me i've always been super thin i could'nt grab a roll of fat when i was younger

As i've gotten older and looking past the teenager stage i see a little extra coming on, alcohol is my main issue its a weekly thing now but obviously fattening.

My brother was like me extremely skinny younger, but now he is 26 he has a beer belly although visually he looks average he is defiantely not a skinny guy he is MUCH more lazy than me.

Its just about keeping ontop of it don't let insecuritys like that run your life else you'll be that guy spending hours at the gym for no benefit.

 

It's not ruining my life, thought I'd post it here since it's not something I'd normally do, and because most of the things in this thread are hardly life ruining

 

you need to put them between your legs not sit on them, you'll be numb in no time

it is not hot, i love this weather, it's warm and just right for me, i hope it lasts as i have lots of outings planned.

floss floss and do you floss? i brush my tongue too and drink alot of water, that or you need a visit with your dentist never tasted a dead otter so couldn't compare.

I will be travelling again on the tube in july, now you are putting me off, it is just gross, imagines standing next to some man's sweaty pit licks

 

This was an issue in my old Focus as well, although I got it replaced and it developed another electrical fault which was causing low rev/junction cutouts. It almost got me and Mum killed on several occasions so I decided to sell it in the end. I still miss that car sometimes, and wish I'd held onto it

That being said, it had also got a tank of bad diesel about 6 months before I finally sold it, and even after the pump, filter and lines were cleaned it still wasn't fuelling 100% correctly. There was more wrong with it than I was willing to fix at the time.

 

All right, let me preface this with a few things. First, even though I'm about to rant, taken in perspective, I know that what I have is not going to be the greatest solution to the problem I have. And any other aspect of what I'm about to rant at I could not tell you a time I was happier.

But what the ****, Intel? Seriously? Set up my Z77 kit today, have to use the onboard video until I can afford a video card (at all, not just a "decent one.") Logged on, played a little Guild Wars, a video game that can run on a frikking Geforce 4 MX400. Stuttered so bad I died almost immediately. I was watching a slideshow.

And don't think you're getting out of this, Western Digital. Now every single one of my Raptors is dead. I think I'm hearing boiling coolant across the room from my wife's rig, but it's fine. Look at the side of mine, and both Raptors are trying to overcome the other in an amp shootout, banging the read heads against the platters. Amazingly, most of my data was backed up, as a just in case.

So no gaming for an indefinite amount of time, a pile of dead drives, and hours lost working on this. I think I'm at 8 or so right now, and finally the PC acts like a PC again.

Who wants to see what double-aught buckshot does to Velociraptors?

 

You had a child by Iain Duncan Smith?

 

It has had a few faults over time. It had the infamous speedo/electrical cut out where all the interior electronics went dead for a few moments then sprung back to life. Ford tried to fix it by replacing the dashboard (after loads of people contacted watchdog about it) which didn't work, but a local garage fixed it by replacing the speed sensor.

The random cut outs happened around this time 2 years ago as soon as I had to start using air con, the same local garage which fitted the speed sensor said it would be the IACV and instead of replacing it they just cleaned it all up and charged for 20 minutes labour, and if that didn't work they would just change the part and charge just for the cost of the part.

But I don't think a clean is going to cut it this time, so going to get it replaced. I am looking into getting a new car soon, but would rather not get rid of this one with a ticking time-bomb in it... at least not one with a short timer

 

With my Focus, it was an intermittent fault and the Ford dealership where it was bought couldn't even find the true cause of the issue. It was actually one of the dealer mechanics that advised me to sell it after it had been in several times.

I wouldn't say it's ruining my life, but on Thursday evening I took all the wheels off my car and cleaned them with brake dust cleaner and tar remover. It was long overdue and I was glad to get it done in the good weather, along with a thorough wash of the car. The chemical based solutions I used to clean the wheels, however, have absolutely ruined my hands. They're sore and shedding a fine layer of skin almost like a snake. I should have read the bottle before using the new brake dust cleaner. It's an irritant that is supposed to be used with gloves, and using it without gloves has (hopefully very temporarily) destroyed my hands

 

So after yet more troubleshooting, headscratching and wall-banging; I'd come up with another hairbrained theory as to why SLI wasn't working on my machine: tried a fix, same damn issue. **** you. Gigabyte. **** you. I'm going Asus next time.

 

People asking me constantly if im alright...

Im trying everything in my power not to crack under all the pressure lately and now im getting my parents saying "Im worried your not yourself lately somethings wrong"

Exams please be over

 

To cut a long story about a long evening short:

- Been working in an office on an industrial estate for the past month or so.
- Was there from mid afternoon until now doing some wiring and so on.
- First off, the guy who wired the place originally was a goon, and should never be allowed near electrical or data wiring ever again.
- I was the last one out of the industrial estate - was told to lock up as usual and make sure the gate was locked. "No problem, I have a key of the office and the gate", I say.
- I lock up the office, drive out, stop and get out to lock the gate.
- I can't get the gates to close. I've done this several times before but they will. Not. Close
- I look at the problem more closely and discover that the right gate has dropped/sagged on its hinges and there's no way I can lift it (they are huge steel gates) to get it to bolt.

At this point, I'm like:



- I tried fruitlessly for half an hour to do something about it before driving home, getting a large chain from the workshop, driving back and using the chain to keep them shut and the large bolt lock to lock the chain. It's not perfect, but it'll have to do. Anyone with a decent set of bolt cutters could cut the chain and get in, whereas the bolt that's supposed to keep them locked is 1" thick steel. I did my best - the baker can report it to the estate manager in ~5 hours time when he goes in to start work at 6AM.
- I got stopped by a routine Police patrol both on my way back with the chain and on my way home again

Just one of those nights where everything went wrong really

 

woke up with a terrible hangover...

 

Did you try jacking it up ( assuming you had a jack in the back of your car ofcourse )?

Right now I'm learning to use my middle fingers as new index fingers on account of said real index fingers being both totally fubared; one has a couple deep slices in the outside edge of it ( all the way through every layer of skin & into the red tissue below ), the other has a large-ish flap of skin ripped back right next to the nail on the outside edge, exposing the rather sensitive red flesh below; kitchen porter = hazardous job :-/

 

Yeah, I did try jacking it. After stupidly trying to lift it myself (which was never going to work) that was the first thing I tried... but the jack would't fit under the gate

And then this:

 

My train to Portsmouth has been cancelled..

Thankfully my house mate lives 5 mins from the station I'm stuck at, so there may be hope yet!

Ah, the joys of South West Trains eh?

 

Useless company. Managed to blah my way on to the next train though.

Don't get me started on them... the number of trains that don't show, or cancel or don't stop where their supposed to, or their shutting of entire lines at weekends is downright disgraceful.

 

*clicks play button on bionic Mankz*

Considering the day I've had with public transport, I'm about to flip a train over.
