happy birthday! i think i know the feeling
a way to stop yourself from feeling down could be to tell yourself “its my drat birthday and for this one day i dont have to make excuses for doing/not doing things”.
i hope you have a great day. some of the best birthdays i have had have started out like this but then i go for a walk, meet some friends or stay warm at home playing a game and end up enjoying it

chs: it's been raining, sweeping granules from the old roof onto that are on our awning onto the ground. i've been cleaning it up. as i was plugging the shop vac into the outlet, i smelled gas coming from a closed valve that's intended for hooking up a bbq or wok or something.

ms jones said "oh yeah it's always been that way, i didn't think it was a problem" :facepalm:

anyway, i called the gas company. they came out and removed the leaky valve and capped off the line. if we want to actually use it, we can have the plumber mess with it.

i am also curious to see if this reduces our gas bill. how "jesus christ bullet dodged" i am is very related to how much gas we were venting into the back yard i guess

you could only really smell it if your nose was right up to the valve (as you do when plugging in the outlet, they're quite close)

also that outdoor outlet is non-gfci. thanks previous owner! (it's on the upgrade shortlist, but im gonna have an electrician do it cause i dont wanna gently caress with the external box)

my gas story (spoiler: very boring) is a couple days ago i forgot about the safety valve in lpg tanks. we'd picked a few gallons of plums off a tree and had them on the big propane stove that i normally used for brewing. getting them to a boil was going real slow for like an hour until i finally realized that the problem was the safety valve, rather than e.g. something wrong or clogged with the stove itself. turned everything off then turned on the regulator knob AFTER turning on the tank knob. that fixed it and the plums were boiling in like 20 mins lol

now we got lots of plum salsa

Suspected to have been leaking undetected for decades, an estimated 6 to 24 million gallons of fuel saturated the soil, posing a serious hazard to wells in the south valley connected to the municipal water supply.

cjs: i bought a 2018 dell latitude from a friend to try to do some music work on, it has 16 gigs of ram and a real SSD, and it worked for four hours and now just bluescreens or hard locks at the login screen. It is the biggest piece of poo poo I've touched in years. Meanwhile my 2015 macbook pro works perfectly every time. You poor bitches keep loving with running antivirus and memtest on your thrift store computers cause they're such a 'good value', i'm off to order an m1x.

e: i paid like $50 for it so i don't super care but lol lmao if you have to tech support sales bros using these pieces of garbage. just lol
