Cletus Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I was lucky enough to spend a year living in europe when I was just 17. Getting drinks was never a problem . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Slapping Maple Sucker Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I really hope that you don't truly consider 21 to be "getting old"......... I'm turning 20 next tuesday (be sure to wish me a good one ) , and I feel (and fear) that I'm getting old. It's rediculous, and I'll realize that I was young when I'll be thirty or so... If 2012 doesn't fuck that up. It's good to know that the best years of my life are still ahead of me while I'm still living them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katuschka Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I really hope that you don't truly consider 21 to be "getting old"......... No, not really; bad wording. I don't think I'm old now. I should have said: everything suddenly speeds up and that makes me a bit anxious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said: everything suddenly speeds up and that makes me a bit anxious. You should be anxious. Seems like I was 21 just yesterday, and now I am staring at 50 right around the corner. Life goes by very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotplant Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I OD'd on Robert's birthday greetings. I'm shocked all the extra threads didn't get shoved up into the newbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleNecker Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Something weird happened to my computer earlier. I have a laptop and I was listening to my music (with it on my fat stomach) laying down, and nothing was going wrong and then the screen went black and the music stopped playing and had a "BZZT" sound. The computer was still on though, the power icon was still on, but the Wi-Fi light up wasn't, and I couldn't turn it off. So I took the battery out and left it out for a bit and let it cool down. Everything is still here thankfully, but I have NO clue what brought it on. Might've been overheating? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had a computer make a "ZZZFT" sound. But it turned out to just be a fly stuck in the printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had mine make a BZZT sound but yes, I do the same thing with my laptop, I'm in my bed right now with it on my tummy typing away....and my old machine started doing that. Just shutting right down, black screen, nada. Had to reboot - though never had to resort to pulling the battery. It's my work machine so I just had them pull the hard drive and put it in a new shell and it's been fine since then. In my case...once the issue began it just got worse....but...I could prolong it by taking a water bottle and filling it with cold water to set my computer on...kept it cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleNecker Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 My dad was kind enough (scary, eh?) to lend me his battery charger and I'm too scared to do anything big, because I don't want his to break either otherwise my ass is grass. I think what contributed to my battery charger doing what it did is probably the moisture that was close to it and it's age. Since it was over 4 years old, it surely was a bit loopy. i can keep this cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that it has anything to do with the charger, it's the interal workings of the machine itself that get so hot. And when you rest it on your lap you aren't helping to keep it cool. Our firm has spent multi millions on air conditioning alone for our data center....they keep it FREEZING in there because machines get HOT!

Electrophile Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I believe so. I have a Rubbermaid cooling rack for my laptop, that allows air to flow underneath it to keep it from overheating. I also keep it in "sleep" mode whenever I'm not using it so that it doesn't run hot when I'm away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that it has totally died and I can't do anything to resuscitate it. It's never happened this bad before, so will have to take it in for repair. Glad you got yours started again.

Dzldoc Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 What the heck is that Doc? A laptop air conditioner?! Yes it works great, it comes with a short usb cable that you plug into your laptop to power it. You can pick it up at any walmart or have it shipped for .97c http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9203344 On a funny random note there is a tropical depression on top of us as I type and raining cats and dogs. I just heard an Icecream Truck with full chimes roll past the house! Only in New Orleans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Bill Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I doubt that it has anything to do with the charger, it's the interal workings of the machine itself that get so hot. If he's running it plugged into the charger, they have a tendency to run a lot hotter, at least the ones I've had do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleNecker Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Turns out that the charger shorted out on me. There's cuts all over it from my laptop table I have, and I accidently spilt some water last night and, I guess one thing led to another. So I have a new charger thanks to my friend, who now is mad at me because I don't drink and "enjoy life". Life don't come easy, true, but goddamn it, having to do EVERYTHING on your own, is bullshit. *awaits lecture* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
