Unhappy Thread

My @#$&ing POS 2yr old Dell laptop passed away yesterday. It's been problematic since day one. I'ma take it to the shooting range today and give it a proper send-off. Then I'ma rake up the pieces, douse them with gasoline and set them on fire. Thank you for listening.

UPDATE: Did you know that just because they're on display, doesn't mean that they actually have them. My 5th choice at Walmart was actually in stock. That's an hour of my life that I'll never get back. I'm up and running again, waiting on file transfer from the old machine. THEN it's off to the range.

I mentioned this to the guy at the counter and got the "its plume" reply. I default to it being mold these days, maybe I dont know jack shit...

House cleaners called me at work Friday, found water under the floor in my family room. Long story short my frig on the ther side of the wall had a tiny pinhole leak in the plastic line running up the back to the icemaker. The leak was so slow it didn't come out the front, it went the other way under the wall and under the shitty laminate that soaked it up like a sponge and it wicked through the whole room.

So not only do I have to pull out and replace about 500 sq ft of flooring, but now I also have to buy a new frig.

Thankfully I'm on a slab, or I'd have been even more screwed!

About 20 yrs ago we were living in a middle of the row townhouse and in the dead of winter I woke up to find a glacier coming out our driveway into the street. I freaked out and looked all over for some kinda leak at our place and there was none. Went outside and investigated and the end unit, that was unoccupied and uphill from us, had the exterior wall covered in a sheet of ice. The line in the wall for the ice maker let go and the water traveled under the slabs of all the units until it got to ours. The end unit needed a pretty severe rehab.

Im not a big fan of icemakers.

When is someone going to be smart enough to line the outside of PVC with a detectable metal strip or some way to find and avoid this shit happening. Sorry, that sucks to have to deal with that.

Update on recent explosion ...

Still no power to most of the house and no water. Restoration company should be out this week to assess damages. Eardrums are still sore but no significant hearing loss, luckily. Nerves are shot but pushing on is all we can do.

So was this company running fiber (or ??) through your neighborhood? And they drilled into (or close enough to and broke) your sewer line? Which company was it? So they obviously DID IT, now they won't cover your repair costs??? How shitty (no pun intended) is that!?!?!
Shit just cut their conduit, and say oops SORRY.
