    Question for anyone who might know:

    The fan on my laptop seems to be running a lot louder and a lot longer lately. Is that at all related to the fact that without air conditioning it's regularly 75-80 degrees in here? And if so, will it hurt anything to keep running it like that?

    Squid: I have the same problem. :/ Despite not having gone to church in years and not really caring for the dogma, I still follow some of the LDS tenets (specifically, I don't drink or smoke), and being that I live in Virginia where it seems everyone does both, it feels like I can't really socialize with anyone my age without either compromising my principles or going back to a community that won't want me. 

    Also, I feel like all my random knowledge of useless fact isn't as endearing as it was when I was a kid or a teenager or even a younger adult. It's like "You know about that? Well, you're 35 now, I don't see why not..."

    CA: Make sure the vents on the side and bottom aren't blocked. If they're not, there might be dust on the radiator; blow it out with some canned air and you should be OK. My room typically runs 75-80 and even my big lappy runs pretty cool unless it's really thinking hard.

    @Lee: The fan seems to be running constantly even when the CPU usage is low...is that bad?
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    CA: At full blast, or just on low? If it's full blast, then yeah, that's bad.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    Just on low. I blew it out with some compressed air and it already sounds better than it did before, but it's still on.

    I guess I'm just worried that if I keep running the laptop in the hot room I'll ruin something.

    The "sensors" command says my CPU temp is +49.5 C. I have no idea whether or not that's a good thing
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Yeah, if it's just on low, that's normal. Modern laptops almost never turn the fan off completely. 

    And 49.5 C is fine. I'd only start getting worried if it goes over 60 C.

    Ah, okay, I guess I'm just letting myself freak out over nothing.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Of course, then again:

    root@armada:/home/leec# sensors
    acpitz-virtual-0
    Adapter: Virtual device
    temp1:        +68.0°C  (crit = +103.0°C)

    Mine got up to 67C just for a moment right after I booted, but once the fan kicked in it got back down around 50.

    So I guess the fan's just doing its job after all...

    The Avatar may be able to waterbend, earthbend, and firebend...but can she chocolatebend?

    I think that's the real question we should be asking ourselves.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Okay, now I'm going to bed before I make more of an ass of myself as a junior mod. :P

    Good night!

    I kinda want to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender now, but 61 episodes seems like a lot

    Usually SMBC God comics rub me the wrong way, but this one is pretty funny.


    My previous laptop had a fan the pretty much stopped working, or stopped working well. It would start to get really hot and not work as fast. A cooling pad actually helped quit a bit.

    If you're interested, just look for one that'll fit. Maybe try to find one that will net you a USB port or two, you'll likely need at least one port of your laptop to power the thing.


    Chocolate bending is interesting. Benders seem to have a blind spot when it comes to organic materials that don't have water in them. Maybe it's the ultimate anti-bender material...you know...ignoring the fact it's pretty susceptible to all the elements...

    Good night Lee.

    Friday and I just picked it back up because of Korra.

    We found a juicy HD torrent and are loving every minute of it despite it being a re-watch. You should totally start in on this. It'll make you excited for things to come in Korra and clue you in on some Avatar stuff you may have forgotten/not known.

    And it's just a great series. 
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    goddammit, i can't remember if i watched it all when it was airing; i saw parts of Book 3 when they were new, including the series finale

    Man, watch it again.

    Get Skype going and make a long-distance date thing out of it. Friday and I did that with Justice League when she was still in England.

    My car's on fire
    I lost my tire
    But why? The cops say
    I drove the wrong way

    But we were two lanes apart
    You had a head start
    When they say
    I drove the wrong way

    Tell me why
    Ain't nothing but a one-way
    Tell me why
    Ain't nothin' but a mistake
    Tell me why
    I ran a red light back at 8th
    And I drove the wrong way

    ...it needs some work.

    Ok, yeah, that's a good point.

    That...might actually be worth the investment, if I'm going to be without air conditioning until July.

    Just make sure it's a good size. For some reason, they often market them as working with such-and-such size, but they turn out to be too small.

    Maybe get dimensions of your laptop and bring a tape measure to the store. Save you the trouble of returning a cooling pad that's a few inches too small.

    My fortress more than tripled in height since the pics were posted. Of course, no one cares. :D

    I've never played Minecraft (assuming that's what you're talking about), but I love seeing what people make in it.

    *ring ring*

    Word.

    I NEED YOUR HELP!

    Well...it just so happens I hit the liquor store and restocked my Vodka, Gin, and Laphroaig. Not to mention this...

    Not THAT...though if you can bring a few bottled, Ah'd be much obliged...Pinkie's here!
    She'll be coming round the mountain when she COOOOMES. She'll be coming round the mountain when she COOOOOOMES.
    ...and?

    And she's off her meds.
    She'll be coming round the mountain, she'll be coming round the mountain,
    ....AND?

    And she won't stop singing.
    She'll be coming round the mountain when she COOOOOOOMES.
    ...AND?!

    She tied up big Macintosh and it looks like she's gearing up to harvest his organs to use as baking ingredients.
    She'll be slicing off faces when she coooooooomes, She'll be slicing off faces when she COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMES, 
    Why in all that is good and holy would you not start by telling me this.

    Look sugar-cube, Ah've been up since 4AM and Ah've been three sheets to the wind since 7AM. Cut me some slack and get Pinkie her meds on the double.
    She'll be slicing off faces , she'll be slicing off faces,

    Can't you just restrain her?
    I don't think you realize just how much work goes inta keeping the farm afloat, especially now that ah have to do Big Macintosh's share. If ah stop work for a minute, Ah'll have to burn down the farmhouse for the insurance money.
    She'll be slicing off faces when she COOOOOOOOMES.
    FINE! Twilight has them, I'll just call her and...

    Won't work.
    She'll be heating up the ovens when she cooooooomes....
    Why not.

    Twilight doesn't answer the phone no more. Says it distracts her from her task. Also, she burned it when she decided that made more sense than cleaning it.
     She'll be heating up the ovens when she COOOOOOMES, She'll be heating up the oven, she'll be  e heating up the oven ,
    *sigh* I'll get some help.

    Why are you tied to a chair?

    NO! DON'T CARE! WE NEED TO SAVE BIG MACINTOSH! YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!

    But Angel will be so mad and....oh, you brute! Taking me without even untying me, bending me to your will, forcing me to do anything and everything you're heart desires.

    Shut up.

    Oh, I hope they get here soon. I'm not nearly drunk enough to watch my big brother get cut opened. 


    FUCK OFF!

    I said I was sorry!

    You can't just play with a ponies emotions like that.

    Fluttershy doesn't mind... 
    I really don't...
    Yeah, but she secretly gets off on it.

    I...I didn't need to know that...
    Awww...
    No way am I helping you.

    Come on! I NEED someone fast to keep up with Twilight's drug habit, it has to be you! No other pony is fast enough!

    Well...No...I mean...it's great that only I can do it, buuut...

    Come on Dash! It HAS to be you! Believe in the me who believe that saying an anime quote about you believing in the me that believes in you is enough to get you to help me!

    Well, when you put it...wait what?

    GREAT! NEXT PONY.


    Yes, darling?

    Rarity! I need your help getting Pinkie's Ritalin back from Twilight.

     Of course, darling.

    So what's the plan?

    Rarity and Fluttershy distract Twilight  while you grab the pills.

    GREAT, uhhh...how are they going to do that.

    Oh! We can tell her that all this obsessive compulsive behavior stems from a desire to please Celestia and ANY parental figure, really. That she's only ever done anything in her life to gain approval from those she feels indebted to, and that she has no idea what it means to be her own pony or do something because SHE wants to.

    Wow...my plan has less chance to attack Twilight's very core and make her rethink everything and anything she's done...but you know what? Plan B.

    What's plan A.

    You two invite her two the spa.

    She won't come. She's too busy with all her lists.

    Doesn't matter, she should lecture you on the efficient uses of time long enough for Rainbow Dash to get the pills.

    Oh yes! The last time we asked, she lectured for thirty minutes straight, Rarity left after a minute, but I stayed for the entire thing and took my punishment as I deserved....

    ...

    So, what are you going to do.

    I'm back-up, in case you need more time.

    TIME! I'll have those pills in ten seconds...

    *dives and covers her mouth* Don't say it. I swear I will explode your HEAD with my BRAIN if you finish that sentence.

    Tell them "I'm busy". I can still see some wall in front of the insulation.

    Twilight, darling, you simply MUST come...

    Are you trying to ask me to go to the spa with you two?

    NO!
    YES!
    Uh...I mean, it's been so LONG since we've spent any time together, and...

    I already told you in great detail why that sort of stuff is a waste of time. Now if you'll excuse me...

    WAIT, TWILIGHT!

    Justice?

    We just need Pinkie's Ritalin to bring her back to a state where she doesn't want to harvest big macs intestines and make a seven layer cake out of them.

    But I NEED it!

    More than you care about Big Macin...

    YES! NOW, BYE!

    WAIT!

    Uhhhhggg, WHAT?!

    You don't need drugs Twilight! You don't NEED to put in all this effort all the time! Your friends and family love you for who you are! Can't you see you're just destroying yourself trying to live up to this ideal you think people expect of you? We don't need the Twilight that spends a whole day scrubbing a wall until it's sawdust. We just want a Twilight we can spend time with and hang out with...and...and LOVE, again.

    *sniff* You...you really mean it?
    FOUND THEM!
    No! Good-bye, sucker!

    *beep beep beep*
