I have to rearrange computer parts tomorrow. Well I want to, don't really have to. It's not super fun like rearranging furniture or your wardrobe but I think I'll get an extra working PC out of it if I do it right and don't blow anything out. The last time it went really well until it didn't.

No really, I want to. I can probably be convinced I want to. Tomorrow. Maybe Sunday.

Monday's pretty open...

by blowing something out do you mean the PC can explode?

The power supply was the problem with the previous one and parts inside it can explode, but they're small so only damage the power supply itself unless you're really unlucky. And to be fair, that one would just fail while sitting doing nothing. No fun explodey anything. Play a game to stress the parts and it's happy. Sit there with nothing open, literally waiting to time out and go to sleep? Nah not doing that, just cuts the power with no shut down or anything.

Like it gets bored. Or lazy.

Hm. OK I can vibe with that I guess.

The power supply is the culprit in so many functioning pcs going to crap. And it's a pretty cheap replacement too.

Let's hope you don't mess it up.

My mind is on figuring out what books I wanna buy. I haven't ever read a physical book apart from academic stuff. Also on what I should get for my birthday. Probably something to game on once I get a TV.

I would recommend ”the song of archilles” its a pretty solid book and maybe you could get some new clothes for your bday?
 
I just went outside and was playing cricket for a while. Sometimes I'm grateful that I live somewhere where it doesn't snow lmfaoo.
You should be. I live in the warmest part of the country and yet it's still very cold. There's a lot of snow because of hot summers, that's what the scientists say. I don't get their logic, tho.
