Random Win: The irl Fuck Ya thread

[Astylla]

My win tonight was a whole bunch of compliments from good looking girls.

Beard game on points, hair game on points, clothing game on point.

Confidence is everything, and that's the vibe I get from you here so I'm not surprised. Still I understand it's always a good feeling

[Aksannyi]

Congrats Sath!

So I may have mentioned that I started a job this past Monday, if I didn't, well meh, I did now. It didn't work out though and so I ended up leaving partway through the day on Friday, don't really want to go into it too much but suffice to say that it was nowhere near a good fit. Got home, made some phone calls, drove in to another place to interview, and I start something different on Tuesday. So sort of a fail win.

Still not a teaching job obviously but something to get me through the summer.

The other win is that I slept like a fucking rock last night and I feel so refreshed.

Decided last minute to drive down to Disneyland and got a killer deal on our go to hotel across the street. Walking distance , free wifi , breakfast for just over $340 for 3 nights on a holiday weekend. Also so far the crowds are light.

You son of a bitch.

Not quite a win yet, but I have the opportunity to buy at my store a 32" Phillips 1080p tv for around $73 out the door. Would be used as a second monitor. Not sure if should. Yes/No?

[Modoru]

1) do you need it
2) depends how well it works as a monitor - some tv's just suck for PC, though that's not extremely common

but if you really want to, why not

[Kalmado]

My secondary monitor, a Samsung SyncMaster 204B is dying a slow death. I can't turn it off in fear it won't turn back on. I def don't need a 32", but for the price, and it would accompany my 39.5" main monitor (AMH A399U 4k) nicely this is why I'm considering.

Posted this in the PC build thread, but figured I'd also spread it here since some military folks post here regularly but not in that thread.

With new computer builds being a likely thing for a lot of people here soon, for anyone on here who's military, Newegg is offering free premier for a year for Active Duty and Veterans

Regarding this, you should get a promo code for this which can apply to any account. I have used this in the past for a good friend of mine who's military but doesn't use newegg much (compared to me at least) and it I was able to add it to my account.

I have no personal experience with electrical engineering, so I can't comment on how easy this is to do, but word on the internet is that this is typically a blown/faulty capacitor issue. Happens with TVs and monitors all the time. Supposedly super simple (and cheap) to fix assuming you have the tools to solder some new ones in place of the old ones.

[Krandor]

It depends entirely on the scale of the components you're working on. Micro soldering is no fucking joke.

I can believe that, though I have no frame of reference. In the video I was watching while trying to research how to fix my mom's shitty TV that takes upwards of 60 seconds to turn on the capacitors were about the size of the tip of a thumb, in a cluster of 4. No idea if that qualifies as "micro".

[Krandor]

Nah that's pretty simple stuff unless you've got Parkinson's or something.

I rewired a guitar today (well almost, bought the wrong size toggle switch) which is a similar scale to that, and it took like 10 minutes once I actually got to the soldering portion.

The hardest part of soldering most of the time is actually having decent equipment and the right tools.

[Rooney]

I work with tons of electrical engineers who do this kind of stuff all the time. Can't vouch for it personally, but knowing some of these guys, it really can't be that hard.

[Kalmado]

Glad I waited on the purchase. Store took an additional 10% off clearance tvs so out the door price after 30% off store discount, 10% employee discount, and coupons/rewards for a 32" 1080p smart tv was $68.

Playing dodgeball. Man I love this game
