My parents house went up about 2 hours ago

Everyone is fine, but we may have lost one of the cats

Upstairs and attic got gutted, probably lost a bunch of shit on the first floor to water damage

And I'm across the country and can't do fucking anything

I'm hoping she ran outside when it happened

My mom carried one of them out when the smoke detector went off but there's been no sign of the other, far as they can tell

And since there's currently a shit ton of news vans and fire trucks and stuff it's not likely she'd wander back right now

As an aside, I'm reading the news article and it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth
They mentioned my father by name, which is fine, but they used a headline like "local firefighter's house consumed in blaze" and it reeks of clickbait and I'm just getting mad at stupid shit

>There's a link to BUY THE PHOTO of my parent's house after it burned
Come the fuck on

Gotta get those shekels. Also do you know how the fire started?

Faulty outlet in my younger sister's room was the cause, she's been away at college though
Both cats are alive, though one ran outside and is hiding because of the horde of responders, Red Cross people, and rubbernecking cunts

At least the cats are fine. Material possessions can be replaced, cats usually can't

Niece's goldfish died.
Her dad flushed it down the toilet.
Her mum asked her "Do you think he's in fishy heaven?"
to which she replied
and I quote
"No he's in fishy toilet"

Then when she was talking to nanny and me about it "What do you think he's doing now? are people just peeing on him?"
and we all just burst out laughing.

Depends on how drunk you were. Enough liquor and anything is a party!

EndgamerAzari · Fri Sep 16, 2016 10:32 pm

Christ. I was coding from 1 to just a few minutes ago. Almost non-stop save for getting up to go the bathroom or get a drink. For the past 2.5 hours or so I didn't even do that.

I've NEVER been able to focus this well. It just doesn't happen to me. I feel like an actual functional person for the first time.

Good things today

Friend of the family started a gofundme with a goal of 5k for the house repairs, got 1k of it within the first day
Sister got her new car for the trip back home so all 3 of us and the cats will fit comfortably
My birthday gift for my sister arrived so I can wrap it while they do stuff tomorrow

since my last posts i got to dabble in the different kinds of welding with stick, mig, and tig, and mig being my favorite. i also got to do plasma cutting, which was really fun and surprisingly loud. the mandatory first year experience class is also super easy, although that's not much of a shock

Super Aggro Crag · Sun Sep 18, 2016 3:12 pm

I don't expect to see next year.

I'd offer you a place to live for the time being but you're no where near Texas I'm sure.

Super Aggro Crag · Sun Sep 18, 2016 11:08 pm

No, Massachusetts.

Get on a train then and head South for Dallas. Or wait till someone else closer can offer shelter.

What I have drank was alright.
but... nothing special really, so whenever we go out anywhere I tend to just get J2Os, orange juice tastes just as good as any alcohol I've drank.

Bought some braces today (suspenders for you Americans), definitely more comfortable than a belt - no back ache from being sat down all the time as I was having with a belt.

They're Y shaped ones... would recommend X in hindsight. Y ones tug on the middle of the back, keep pulling my pants up my butt crack when I bend over.

Super Aggro Crag · Thu Sep 22, 2016 10:02 pm

I am so fucking upset right now. I'm sitting in this shitty motel room and think hey, atlesst I have electricity, lets hook up my PC, which I spent my entire tax rebate on and got to use for two months before my power got cut because my fucking family kept lying to me every day about where the bill money was going. I got two hours out of using it before it decided to fucking break. Good thing I have friends to help me trouble shoot it! Oh nevermind, those people abandoned me because, me, being iminently homeless and without electricity, was "too negative" and didn't follow their fucking award winning advice of "well why don't you find a place to live?"

Super Aggro Crag · Fri Sep 23, 2016 12:27 pm

Inncrashing in a motel right now. I'm pretty sure the graphics card is the problem.

Why is my graphics card randomly shutting off mid game.

Super Aggro Crag · Sat Sep 24, 2016 1:31 am

No error message, the screen just goes black. and not very hot. Even playing gzdoom caused the issue.

IrishWristWatch0 · Sat Sep 24, 2016 1:41 am

That's happened to me. it comes when the GC is not getting enough power. go to nvidia control panel and turn it to maximum performance. I've had your issue before and that has fixed it

Super Aggro Crag · Sat Sep 24, 2016 2:27 am

It used to work fine, though. All the cords are plugged in. What could have caused this issue?

Super Aggro Crag · Sat Sep 24, 2016 2:30 am

Where's the max performance button.
