Mercury in Retrograde

[thatguy]

House sitting in Aptos for Shannon's b-day weekend. Hopped in the shower before starting the day. The drain isn't. flooded the entire bathroom. Spent the next half hour getting the water back into the shower and then another 15 min cleaning out the hair trap and drain. I think I might need a shower now.

Taking the TV apart to fix the wifi. I need to the new Obi-Wan show tonight.

[Greg]

I broke down and took the back of my TV to untwist the ribbon wires that might have been causing the intermittent WiFi problem. I watched the Youtube video again to make sure I did it right. The video has over 200k views so I had high hopes this would fix the problem. But no. When I removed the back and looked inside, my interior layout was completely different. And any ribbon cables I had were wrapped so they wouldn't kink. LG must have learned their lesson. Sigh. I put everything back together and plugged it back in. Low and behold, my wifi was connected. One of the other solutions to the WiFi problem was to just unplug your TV and let it reset.

Woohoo!. At least for an episode and a half of Obi-Wan Kenobi. During the second episode, the WiFi stopped working again. I unplugged the TV and WiFi worked again for about ten minutes. Double sigh.

I do have Apple TV. All the streaming services are there. I signed into all of them and will continue to stream from there rather than the TV.

[Drunk Monk]

But we’re not out yet…

My Mac just crashed. Twice…

Clearly you haven't been making enough sacrifices to Hermes

Clearly you haven't been making enough sacrifices to Hermes

fair.

...and just what does one sacrifice to Hermes? Odor eaters?

The Queen has locked herself out of her work computer by forgetting the new password she just changed to yesterday. For some reason, the computer is not accepting her answers to her security questions to reset the computer.

The two hour planned power outage only lasted 15 minutes so I did not get me two hours of reading in.

[Greg]

Huzzah. The Queen has recovered her password (two hours later) and is back using her computer.

Woah there, bruh. This thread is to remain dormant until Sep 9.

[Greg]

More proof of mercury in retrograde.

[Drunk Monk]

Right now, Saturn, Neptune, & Pluto are in retrograde (Pluto goes ret for like a half year it seems). 

I was hoping Uranus was in ret because I have a snappy comeback with that but that doesn't happen until Aug 24.

Here we are again...

Stacy's yoga class this morning was shut out of the building because the guy who opens it up wasn't there. 

My Mac just crashed. Been trying to get to a YMAA project all day but I've been inundated with other tasks. And now, Mac crash. I'm rebooting. I don't think it's serious but it sure is slow today. That's why I'm here...still waiting...

[Greg]

I blame you.

How does a Mac crash? What are you doing? I've had programs freeze up, but I can count on one hand and spot you a couple of fingers the times it has crashed.

[Drunk Monk]

Macs and I have a contentious relationship. 

I count when the Mac freezes up as a crash. Then it takes like half an hour to come back to speed. 

I do run a lot of programs sometimes.
