Apparently they've also hooked him up with a behind the scenes museum tour here in Seattle. So the plan is I pick him up at his house, drive him to the museum, then drive him to the dog park where the local samoyed club is going to surprise him with a party (he loves samoyeds and Lamborghinis apparently).

This is awesome and you're awesome for doing it.

Tired as gently caress and stuffing my face with pizza. And yourself?

Started work yesterday at 5am. Finished at 6-ish. At 7pm started gearbox swap on a mate's Audi. Awful job, got done at 2:30am, got to bed at 3:40am, got up at 5:15am today. Drove up to collect a pallet of 58 cases of drinks, back into london to deliver.

This week's cheque better be a big fat one. I feel hosed.

I am for the most part, I just have a ton leftover. I never did run a drop to the living room (it would have been for the Roku, but it works a lot better now that I have a newer router), and wound up only running one drop to the study. The keystone plates have 3 holes on most of them, so I can always add more later.

ilkhan posted:

Nah, there's several hundred feet of CAT5E in the walls/ceiling too, though every drop except 1 is in use. I didn't see the point in spending the extra money on CAT6 when gigabit is plenty fast. I just bought way too much of the poo poo, and I'd prefer to use it if I could.

Tell your mom to gently caress off and sever.

Seriously, some people are loyal to family to a fault. If you wouldn't let anyone else treat you like dogshit why is it ok for family to do it?

To my shame I'm still 100% dependent on her so severing isn't an option yet.

Moving out puts me next to the school instead of 45m away (plus taking a campus shuttle instead of another 30m hunting for parking), but the main thing is to get me the gently caress away from her even if she's still paying my expenses for the time being; now apparently I don't even get that as she'll still basically be there in spirit.

I need to get a loving job to cut her off fully, but the only skill I have is mechanic work which isn't really conducive to working around a college schedule and leaving time to study, and I have zero confidence in being able to work retail/hospitality. What the gently caress do I do?

Oh the best part, she directly asked me "you're not crazy cause of me, are you? Because that would just break my heart. " How the gently caress do you even reply to that? "No, of course not" is the only real answer in my situation even if it's a loving BALDFACED LIE

Take a break from school and focus on your well being, get a job and get out, and when you're in a better place you can go back to school.

Not saying you should do this, but I joined the military so I could GTFO as soon as I graduated high school that's how desperate I was. I literally was on a plane to basic training a week after I graduated.

I usually give stuff away or firesale it when I no longer need it but right now the craigslist and facebook jeep groups are trying my patience pretty badly. I listed stuff for anywhere from free to 25% of upull price and got a bunch of interest, then literally no one showed up for their poo poo. Probably just going to scrap/trash it all, or shovel it into iForge/Adiabatic's truck(s) if they bring them to NEAI. I want this poo poo out of my life.

Anyone have experience with the HDMI <-> ethernet <-> HDMI kits? I know most require CAT6, just wondering if anyone's tried them with CAT5E before.

They claim to require CAT6, but if you use the IP-based ones as opposed to the balun-type ones, 100mbps ethernet is plenty (they use around 60-80mbps at 1080p30) - and they'll happily run gigabit over CAT5e just fine.

In my experience, the balun-types will work just fine over 5e as well, just with a reduced maximum length (~50m instead of hundreds) - I'm a big fan of the IP types though as you can hook up multiple receivers to the one transmitter, and have multiple transmitters on one network (though multiple transmitters can get a little iffy to set up)

I'm in a similar situation (but slowly fixing it). If you want a job that's not retail or a mechanic, why not try a boring paper-pushing office job? That's what I'm doing now and while it is MIND NUMBINGLY BORING, it can give you a fair amount of quiet time to yourself, plus you'll have all day Internet access.

That's how it started, but it's more or less a hops arms race now. Sucks, because craft beer was kinda fun before that happened but now it's near-impossible to tell whether a beer is going to be interesting or HOP EXPLOSION IN YOUR FACE (except that 90% of the time, it is).
