Haha, oh man you have my sympathy! I think mine are hosting a party and trying to be some sort of amateur DJ...

Well, I've got to see if I can get to sleep, be back sooner if I can't :)

Hopefully you'll be able to, have a good night!

Are you guys using foam earplugs? I find that they help me a lot when I want to fall asleep in a noisy environment. Without causing me to miss the alarm clock.

I had a revelation after waking up this morning and I managed to get that homework assignment I was complaining about earlier done. I'm pretty happy about that. Here, guys, have a swan.

Well, I managed to sleep for 4 hours (tho, I was supposed to wake up 2 hours ago), I don't know how to feel about it to be honest!

Thank you very much for the beautiful swan, you made this morning so much better.

I don't use earplug, I just don't feel comfortable with them to be honest.

Thanks. Not to brag or anything, but it's a pretty sweet swan. :)

It is indeed and you most certainly can brag about it! haha.

I was diagnosed with testicular cancer in January. Had surgery to remove the tumor and testicle, and analysis showed no signs of spreading. You think this would be a good thing, but now I'm stuck under a mountain of medical bills and my terrible, college-provided insurance might as well not even be there, given how little they are paying for anything ($20 for $11k? Yeah, thanks, big help). I can't concentrate with these business offices calling me every day. And there's just going to be more screenings I need every couple months. So I called another insurance company to try and get a better plan for that, but they won't pay for pre-existing conditions.

Lately I've been thinking it would have been better if I didn't make it.

I had testicular cancer, don't even joke about that, the dying I mean. Feel free to joke about the cancer itself, I did, even after it spread to my lungs.

I'm not joking, I'm miserable. I feel like I'm running out of answers.

My cat Ramesses just threw up on my computer.

Been there.

Shit man. I feel so sorry for you. :( But hang in there, don't talk (nor even think) about giving up on life and stuff. You're never better off dead.

Also I can't stop being amazed by how fucked up the healthcare system is in the US. After all I've heard even the (awful) Polish healthcare system seems to be better. I thought that since Obamacare things aren't that horrible anymore. Also it's crazy that a nation which is so "rich" (especially compared to Poland) lets its people drown in medical bills for stuff they need to survive. I watched Sicko a few months ago and thought that it's outdated since it was made before the whole Obamacare thing. Can't believe that things don't seem to have changed at all.
Just fully opened the machine and discovered a horrible mess: the grid between the CPU and the fan was almost completely covered in dust. It totally blows my mind, I don't even know how it got there. I mean, the CPU fan is meant to suck the heat away, not blow cool air at the CPU, right? So I don't get how there could be so much dust on the fan's side of the grid - and the CPU fan is definitely attached properly as its design doesn't even allow to attach it the wrong way around. Anyway, I removed that layer of dirt but sadly my PC still hasn't gotten much quieter. There's still some part somewhere which is causing an awful buzzing noise. It's certainly not a wire touching one of the fans or anything. It really has to be something beneath the graphic card's case but that thing is shut tight, would take a lot of effort to dismantle it. :/
