The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

Been watching Disenchantment on Netflix… Yes this what I expected. It is fun and charming in its own way. No it isn’t Futurma in a fantasy setting. It is its own thing and is better as a result.

That myth died in the 90s. Modern automatic transmissions are significantly more efficient than any human can be when switching gears. The entire reason to drive a manual anymore is that you actually drive the car, rather than steer as it drives itself.

Outline report:
I finished the outline for the kinda of detective story. 9 chapters. I’ll bundle it with the epic.

So this means I move on to writing an outline for a different story… right? No. I thought about it and decided that is a very bad idea.

What am doing instead… look I can’t reailable get on the phone internet at work realiable anymore cause comcast is comcast with their free wifi being spotty in that area so I’m not going to be on any forum or internet at work. So I really need something to do in the breaks I have for work.

My plan is to address the writing problem… I haven’t written constantly for awhile and I really need to fix that. So I’m going to hand write in cursive a sci fi space story. The story is practice but if I like it enough I might publish it. Hopefully this will get me back in the writing habit so I can resume writing Sam’s Wasteland Within. I have the outline just out of practice and habit.

What is this sci fi space story?
Well you know I say I don’t write chosen one stories. So this isn’t about a captain of a ship. Instead it is about an Officer Cadet of the medical department of the ship.

Why cursive?
I have very neat cursive and I like to practice it.

Hey, @Cavemanthe0ne look, AM1 still has a use. Steam machine for my father so he doesn’t waste his money on an XBone.

Pico-PSU will be here in a week and I’ll so how well it works. Should be fine since it’s a GCN based APU, and with the 2.6GHz OC it’ll handle Steam streaming without any problems.

Some new people joined the AMD stream team, and one doesnt ever respond to the twitch chat and the other has ties with GALAX rofl.
When will AMD learn…
Oh well. Tempted to just leave their discord and stop modding for them as they clearly aren’t changing anything anytime soon.

In other news hi.

So you made a more expensive steam link?
… K?

New washing machine will arrive today. I’ll get a call ~30min before the conveyance arrives. Hopefully everything will be over quickly and functioning.

edit: the annoying part is that while I’m waiting I can’t really start doing anything or concentrate at all. Big delivery windows are a pain in the ass -_- (1-6pm). I just hope they come soon and that not the entirety of the afternoon will be wasted by sitting there on standby.

Fucking shit bloody retarded! ARGH!
My grandfather was by no means stupid. He did a lot of the plumbing and furniture in our apartment himself. But dear lord, it’s as elaborate as it is a complicated, maintenance-unfriendly pile that will cost me my last bits of sanity.
Washing machine was delivered but the guys said they can’t connect it to the drainage. They cancelled the installation fee (as they only delivered the new one and took the old one with them) but very quickly made their way. Now, usually you have a 3/4 fitting where your drainage connects here. Not us. My grandfather installed some pvc pipe from the actual drainage all the way to the other end of the kitchen where the washing machine is. No 3/4 fitting, just a big old plastic pipe where the draining hose of the old washing machine was stuck into and SEALED/HELD IN PLACE WITH FUCKING DUCT TAPE!!!
Now…you might ask yourself: who in their right mind would do that? And this is the point where I raise my hand. I did that. Why? Because my grandfather (when we got the last washing machine) told me to do it like that. He knew very well what kind of plumbing monster he created but he was too old to fix his mistake himself, so he had me jerryrig it.

The new washing machine is hooked up to the pipes already and I did it the same fucking way I did before. Just used some sealing take (some rubber tape that’s supposed to fuse with itself) instead of duct tape.
I felt confident enough to connect it without it starting to leak in the near future. That and a plumber would most likely rip out the pvc pipe and do something else for hundreds of currency units.

Now to let the sealing tape fuse and seal over night and try it out tomorrow.

I don’t know how I feel about now also being the computer guy at work now lol. Cloned a VM of XP so can have two instances of a program open at once on screen instead of one, and yeah lol. I dont know how the IT guy didnt know that but hes also the genius insisting that paying $400+ a month on a business internet connection at a whopping 10/1 speed is a good idea so … I’m not that surprised actually lol.

Still, extra work might be interesting.

Steam Link is $$64.55 shipped and this was $14.38.

Explain how $14.38 is more than $64.55.

Because steam link is $5 when on sale or at most $20 used. Which is the same or less.
