And they very well could be overkill, but eh... they're like $6. I figure it's better to be safe rather than sorry. $6 is worth the added protection. I got my hands on cheap and free computers as a kid, but they were still pretty rare to come by, and losing 2 of them with one minor mistake really sucked. Plus the Soundblaster card was actually really nice in and of itself.

Well, you'll be happy to know that I'm getting a 4TB Seagate BarraCuda, which in total will add up to 5.5TBs of space minus the amount that has to be sacrificed to the computer gods. Lol. I was going to get the 2TB drive, but hell for $20 more, I might as well get the 4TB drive. I figure that'll be more than enough space for RDR2 and any other future games for a long while.

Absolutely. Problematic in my case would be that I actually can touch 230V lines and withstand the electricity as so much as to move away from it. And I work a lot with not body-current-protected solutions, this means they only have line-protecting electrical fuses, not body-protecting blind current protections.

If you are earthing yourself over a wrist band (even more problematic if it's on your left hand, as the heart sits more left sided) and actually touch a circuit even with "just" 60 - 150V DC instead of AC, but which is keeping it's level in difference to ground (and not a battery pole as example), then you would make yourself ways more conductive by wearing such a strap.

It's comparable to touching a Tesla coil being earthed -on- your body. You'll feel the whole current and voltage travel a specific way directly to the earthing connection. And that in many cases is ways worse (for me at least) than to just withstand the 230V AC current myself, which buzzes a bit, but doesn't overtake my muscular signals wholly.

Welcome back, @Mare Lover 1975 ! ❤️
How is your stabby day going so far?

I'm at the moment working on a project which needs to get done.. d'Oh. Aahhhrh.. I need some tea.

Really would love to have the money laying around to buy myself a nice three-story coast villa with a tech laboratory as lower level. Because this would save sooo much time moving from A to B and checking C for tools..

Not drinking alcohol regularly, I hate the taste and texture.
It's just something I bought cheap and which has some adequate quality.

Here's a spoiler which keeps some of my thoughts inside. Not "drunk thoughts", but destructive events.

To express my thoughts: I hate a thing which I name "80% fortune". Goddamn blisterf*beep* of *beep* f*beeeep*ing *beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!*.

One develops a plan for the future with his animals.
One is doing everything that's possible, even if it results in unhealthy amounts of time spent.
One is slowly processing forward, keeping bureaucratic areas in order, working regards the goal, even acquiring ways of gaining material.
One works and works, it develops into something well-working and fine.
One reaches around 80% of a finally usable status. There's lots of work and sweat, but it's chilled and in delight.

*Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!*

Each percent it gets moved further, there are unforeseen consequences sprinkled in. Continuously.
Here, have some X, which will ruin your mood by destroying health aspects. Here, get some Y for restless thoughts and worries about living beings which you care about. Here, let Z tear your mood in bloody fleshy stripes by adding unnecessary legal hassles from someone which you did a favor in the past by fixing what was broken by him.

Every
*BEEEEP*
Percent
Brings
Death
And
Losses.
I'll still never stop finishing it. There's only a limited amount of what can get taken and destroyed.
?‍♂️

There's just unfortunately.. absolutely nothing which could make it better.

Stay focused on the positives, and just deal with the negatives without letting yourself be overwhelmed by them.
A lot easier said than done, but having an end goal to aim for and lifting those tiny successes on the way could benefit the overall mood when the struggles starts to pile up.

Doesn't really end too well for those that beat him.
He then asks you a question which circles around "do you want to be/get to/receive X?", while X is something you really want, need or don't believe to exist - it's a tricked up question and you're sure that he keeps his promise.

As such you would say yes. That's all he needs.

And then you get what he promised, just not with the results that you linked with it.
It's more of a never-ending stressing task which follows this promise, as such exhausts you out of your newfound possibilities with side effects.

And as he has all time in the universe.. you still lose.

Don't ask me where I got this experience from.. ?‍♂️

I promise that I talk to dad, let him know that I would be very upset if you did not get what you wanted if you beat him in his favorite game.

People just assumes that he is evil and tries to trick everybody. But it is not his fault that people don't read the entire contract before they sign it.
They just see "Mr X will receive Y" and stop reading after that, even when 2823 pages is left unread.
