Computer shut down. Tried to turn it back on and the PSU started sparking. Hoping the PSU didn't take everything else with it.

that's the moment when you either thank or fuck yourself for spending or cheaping out on your PSU.

It was a 600W Thermaltake. Very nervous now.
I ordered a 650W EVGA off Amazon with same day delivery so we get to see how fucked I am in a few hours.

So how did it turn out?
Since he's posting again, I guess he's fine.
I've had a PSU freak out, blow sparks, and leave a grid-shaped pattern on the wall behind it years ago. Scrubbed that shit off, swapped units, computer was fine. I didn't often come across dead PSU's that took the rest of the PC with them when I was in the repair business, either.
I think the PSU that failed on me was a mid-range Thermaltake, but don't draw any conclusions from that. They've tested reasonably well for reliability on reviews. I just don't go with cheap nowadays. Current PC is over five years old, and the only thing I've ever had to do was RMA the GTX 570 like two or three times. Better luck with the 770 and 980.

My arm is literally sore from having to scrape through such thick ice on my car this weekend. I almost wish I had a sling to just keep it stationary.
I've been peeing out of my butt for about 18 hours now. Good times

Is it supposedly worse here? The "polar vortex" stuff has only been recent, and occasionally we get some lake effect snow, but not nearly as much as the leeward side of of Michigan or Erie.
I came out of work after a 12 hour shift and found my car was just coated with ice a couple of mm thick as though someone poured a bucket of water over it. It was very well stuck on to the windows so even with the defroster on it wasn't letting go. I cleared enough to drive and it still didn't let go over my 45 minute commute even with the hot air blowing on it, but when I got home I did chip the rest away as it had become a bit more workable.

Chicagoland area. It's probably the same in that we have like 2.5 seasons. Hot summers, cold winters, and like a couple weeks of spring/fall a year

Black guy I went to high school with usually likes all my post on facebook. I want to return the likes but his post are barely literate. I feel like I am reading the Wardine section from Infinite Jest whenever his post pop up. I really don't want my university friends seeing I liked some jiggabo stuff.
there you go playing the race card again

I am sure all of the black bf2s users are pretty offended. Oh wait you banned them all Ken. You are the real racist. Why don't you get on Dilberts Cass when he complains about Jews?

When I was at the doc they took my blood pressure (and weight and all that) and it turns out it was super high.
I'm not overweight, already severely limit salt due to Menieres, don't smoke, and eat relatively healthily. My only problem is that I drink a lot.
He told me to get a home blood pressure monitor. Stupid doctors, what do they know?

I wish "Happy Holidays" had less syllables to say aloud because I would totally say it to annoy uptight Christians.

Masterstyle? Yes, Ken personally lynched his account.
that Roc guy was possibly the only person i've ever met who deserved to be shot at a routine cop stop.

Irish pub down the street from me that had friends working there closed. The young person's bar a few blocks away was destroyed in a fire last year. The Mexican restaurant that has a bar is relocating to a bigger place on the other side of town.
This is all awful. I really don't like having to travel very far to drink. It is too cold to walk 7 blocks to get home.

Just drink at home
