Day Destroyers

[Architect]

Have anything that will just take out your day?

Happened to me today. Had to go to a long meeting. Then got a long phone call from a family member, then had to fix an IT problem on my home network. Somehow all this killed my afternoon, not in any kind of useful or interesting way. pwned

 

[own8ge]

Whenever someone disappoints me

 

[Hawkeye]

Leaving [insert any form of important assignment here] until 1 day before the deadline.

This also destroys my coffee supply...

 

[Solitaire U.]

Running out of coffee or having the espresso machine break.

Fucking check engine light coming on (for the umpteenth time) in my car. Less day-wrecking now that I've bought my own OBD2 scanner and can obtain the codes myself, but still a pain in the ass.

When potential clients whose names/voices I don't recognize call me on my cell phone and talk so fast in Spanish that I can't understand them, so I lie and tell them that I'm teaching a class at the moment and will call them back, then never do because I'm afraid they'll talk really fast again and I won't be able to understand them. But then I spend the rest of the day feeling guilty for not calling them back. I need a receptionist.

 

[Mr Write]

Usually when baby brother Fe gets his way. Fe's such a goddamn brat.

 

[Double_V]

If my day stay starts out late I am screwed. I ver seem to accomplish at the level of normal performance.

 

[Hadoblado]

Any time I pick up a video game ever.

Also any time I pick up a book ever.

Also also any time I drink ever (it may not steal that evening as I am having fun and furthering my social agenda, but it steals the entirety of the next day).

 

[SpaceYeti]

When I get Berserk cast on me so I do extra Fight damage, but my list of spells is totally useless.

 

[FlowerThug]

when I have sex before noon

 

[pjoa09]

Hangovers. I just have to sleep them through.

Sundays are destroyed. On Sundays I just can't get out of the house even though I just have my phone with me when I am at home.

Masturbating in the morning.

A fuck-this-shit moment.

Actually, really everyday seems somewhat wrecked. Always stuck on something small that I just can't seem to finish.

 

[Polaris]

A day destroyer still makes a day....

 

[Architect]

Any time I pick up a video game ever.

Also any time I pick up a book ever.

These self limit for me. I naturally put them down after an hour or two, max, so they're "hour killers"

Also also any time I drink ever (it may not steal that evening as I am having fun and furthering my social agenda, but it steals the entirety of the next day).

Agreed

--In general, being shown to be incompetent, for example:
>Losing a debate in front of the whole class
>Being unable to solve a logic puzzle, and then having the entire class-- and especially the teacher-- pick on me for it.
>Having a theory of mine unexpectedly and mercilessly demonstrated to be false, illogical, or irrelevant, especially by a single, armor-piercing question or a ten-minute rant.

--A fight with my parents
>My mom and dad really don't have a grasp on how to handle my emotional problems. For example, when I came home from the mental hospital, they tried to blame me for their worries-- as if I can control their feelings!
>Being asked if I "accept their terms" and then having my acceptance, which was made under effective duress, used against me later on.

Waking up...?

Most of my days never get a chance. I'm hoping that a better environment will help that, and it won't be permanent.

 

[BluePantsMcgee]

Not having my before noon nap,
A day with things planned from 7am to 10pm ( in relation to 1?? )

 

[Reluctantly]

Swapping out a dying hard drive only to replace it with another bad hard drive; thus wasting time installing windows and copying files from a backup. Then installing windows on a third hard drive and wanting to throw the computer out the window (but at least it works now).

 

[Reluctantly]

Using EZout on a broken stud only to break the EZout in the stud. Then use a rotary grinder to grind it out (1-2 hours going slow with carbide). Then drill and tap, only to realize how hard it is to tap by hand. Then find out the new thread isn't very strong and the stud falls out. Then realize tapping aluminum is hard and that's why they make helicoil taps. Then feel defeated and don't touch the motorcycle for 2 weeks. (I still haven't fixed it)

Oh gods. That sounds more like hell than a bad day. I really hate it when my mechanical fix for a problem doesn't work and instead makes the problem worse.

I correct myself: This sounds even more like hell.

The day after an evening of drinking has never been that bad for me. I don't tend to get very sick. I just force breakfast on everyone around and wash my brain out with tea.

The day after an evening smoking is usually destroyed. I spend the whole of the next day relaxed, a little light headed, and completely unable to give a single damn about anything.

Stop buying cheap hard drives

Google, who uses a lot of hard drives obviously, published a study on failure rate. Turns out all hard drives fail equally. Buying super reliable enterprise class drives didn't give you better reliability.

They never exposed the data on what brands failed more frequently than others. They simply took an average of all hard drives used.

However, they do say this:

Failure rates are known to be highly correlated with drive
models, manufacturers and vintages. Our results do
not contradict this fact.

Yep. At the time of making that post I had just finished up a home made meal of naan covered in pesto and avacado egg salad with a few slices of tomato and finished off with some basil leaves. I made a couple of Manhattans to go with it. Afterwards I settled in for a few hours of my favorite British crime drama and then went to bed. I'm still fighting off a bit of a cold but am otherwise healthy and happy.

Why do you ask?

Edit: And it's two L's. Cavallier. The two L's are intentional.

In another thread you mentioned working at a call center, and in this thread, you've mentioned that you've been drinking and smoking so much that your next days have been rough. To an outside observer, you seem to be stuck in a dead-end.

-Duxwing

 

[Cavallier]

@Duxwing You are reading things into my posts that aren't there. I at no point indicated that I have been drinking or smoking so much that my days are rough.

I can't actually remember the last time I was really and truly drunk. Tipsy sure but not so drunk I was hung over the next day. I smoked a bit a few weeks back but that was no more than a couple of puffs. The next day I was a littly ditzy but in a pleasant sort of way.

Also, I don't work at a "Call Center" in the traditional sense. I work in a Technical Support position for a small and specific group of people. We are well paid, well treated, valued, and have great benefits. They paid for the $15,000 worth of dental work I had done last year. So your concerns, though appreciated, are misplaced.

If you were confused by the "I correct myself: This sounds even more like hell." sentiment I was referring to Reluctantly's computer troubles.

Perhaps one day you will realise how your usual know-it-all attitude and armchair-psychotherapy comes across as extremely presumptuous and conceited.


Oh, my contribution to the thread, yes.

Half of the time just looking outside my window is enough. A lethal cocktail of bad weather, pollution and insolvable socio-economic issues that are the concrete manifestation of a decadent and utterly deplorable civilisation. The other half of the time, talking with some absolutely misinformed or bigoted person, or just finding out the latest thrall of the masses does it. And Duxwing.

What's really devastating though, is hearing someone you respect say something that is profoundly disappointing. That'll destroy a whole week.

Realising the banality of the everyday existence and the impotency of the individual in the face of gigantic natural and artificial processes and the absolute pointlessness in life, yeah... that could put one out for a handful of years.

I can understand criticizing me for being an armchair psychotherapist, but I can't recall ever presenting my own knowledge as absolute. So, unlike the know-it-all that I allegedly am, I ask you, wherein have I presented as such? I would certainly rather not present as such, but evidently I need someone else to tell me.*

Somehow, your fellow moderator, @Cavallier, doesn't have this problem, so it's not my disciplinary record on this forum that makes talking to me unpleasant for you. Do you just personally dislike me? If so, then that's fine, but it seems silly to make snide remarks when you can just be open about it.

-Duxwing

*A rather frequent occurrence in real life for me.

 

[Cavallier]

^Another assumption, this time about me not being bothered by your behavior on this forum. Sadly you are wrong again.

You assume things that are not there. Worst you then assume you know the answer to the assumed problem you've made up in your head that does not exist. If you can't see the hubris in this there is no hope for you. How highly do you value yourself that you think your platitudes are of any use? Seriously, shut up.

Oh gods. Just reading this has put a damper on my weekend. I'm going to need to sit in my garden with a glass on wine for a while.

 

[Duxwing]

^Another assumption, this time about me not being bothered by your behavior on this forum. Sadly you are wrong again.

I never said that you aren't: in fact, my entire point was that you're civil toward me despite being so. Kuu, on the other hand, isn't, and therefore must have other reasons for her actions, and I asked her if she just didn't like me for reasons unrelated to whether I break the forum rules or not.

You assume things that are not there.

So, if I understand you correctly, you're saying that I make factually incorrect assumptions from time to time in excess of what would be expected as the inevitable result of many posts?

Worst you then assume you know the answer to the assumed problem you've made up in your head that does not exist.

You're putting me in double jeopardy. Solving a problem logically follows from assuming that one exists, and whenever I think I'm wrong, I adjust my idea until it seems right. Is there another way of thinking? I'd sincerely like to know about it.

If you can't see the hubris in this there is no hope for you. How highly do you value yourself that you think your platitudes are of any use? Seriously, shut up.

Now you're assuming "things that aren't there" (see how unavoidable doing so is? It's why we have debates: we'd almost never find out about these assumptions otherwise) I don't contribute my ideas because I value myself highly, I contribute my ideas because I think that they are right. And I'm not just making this doctrine up in the spur of the moment: I've long argued that the validity and truth of my ideas are separate from my identity. Furthermore, if believing that one's idea is right is against the rules in all cases, then why am I the only poster whom I know who is one pursued for so doing? You certainly think that you're right, for example, but you don't berate yourself for it. Or, perhaps more likely, are you talking about derailing threads with unwanted advice and argument?

re; @Duxwing

"Perhaps you're so deep in the depression/social starvation that you mentioned earlier that the happiness of a happy ending reminds you of the contrast between what you wish you could have and what you do have.

-Duxwing"

From another thread, but a very signature reply from you.

"In another thread you mentioned working at a call center, and in this thread, you've mentioned that you've been drinking and smoking so much that your next days have been rough. To an outside observer, you seem to be stuck in a dead-end.

-Duxwing"

There, you did the exact same thing again.

You have an unsettling tendency to read into what you assume to be negative aspects of other people's expressions, then follow them around into different threads insinuating connections. This appears to nearly always revolve around depression, loneliness and social anxiety.

Apparently you don't realize how frustrating that is to other members. Whether or not your assumptions are correct is beside the point. It's inappropriate to haunt other members like that.

That other thread posed a simple idea "Uncomfortable with happy endings". The guy didn't ask for a psychological analysis, he was simply wondering if there were others who could relate to the idea. It doesn't mean he's locked into severe depression and crying for help, but you habitually assume such. Why do you devote so much energy to digging so deep where you're not invited?

This thread, ironically enough, is about "Day Destroyers". Well, I can't think of a worse day wrecker than someone following me around and constantly raining my own implied (by you) despair down upon me.

Your sig says "I've overcome existential despair". Hmmm, seems more like you're trying to deny your own by projecting it onto everyone else. At any rate, you're rather obviously, unhealthily obsessed with the very idea.

I'm not intentionally trying to hurt you by saying that, and I'm pretty sure your overall intent is to be helpful, but it's very much what I see. I don't want to be guilty of what I'm accusing you of doing, so I'll stop making my own 'connections' here. However, a word of friendly advice; you might do well to occasionally consider whether you're traveling down a road of assumptions that will ultimately lead to a dead end.

All the best

 

[Fukyo]

I was going to say something to the effect of what S.U. said

Solving a problem logically follows from assuming that one exists, and whenever I think I'm wrong, I adjust my idea until it seems right. Is there another way of thinking? I'd sincerely like to know about it.

Therein lies the problem. You start by thinking that there is a problem, furthermore you go out of your way to fix aforementioned problems. This behavior isn't just annoying, it's disrespectful of personal boundaries. Also, I have the impression that your inclination toward being a helper is more of a compulsion than a genuine interest in people; you've confused people and details more than once in these interactions - and for what it's worth, I too feel like this goes back to your and/or your own issues.

OK, now I think I can see it a bit better. And uh-oh, it looks Freudian.

You have an unsettling tendency to read into what you assume to be negative aspects of other people's expressions, then follow them around into different threads insinuating connections. This appears to nearly always revolve around depression, loneliness and social anxiety.

Cognisant really did go on a tear about how lonely he was a few days back, but the first one seems odd... very odd.. *shudders*

Apparently you don't realize how frustrating that is to other members. Whether or not your assumptions are correct is beside the point. It's inappropriate to haunt other members like that.

I know I'm going to sound intensely stupid saying this, but: Huh, I never thought of that.

I see.

This thread, ironically enough, is about "Day Destroyers". Well, I can't think of a worse day wrecker than someone following me around and constantly raining my own implied (by you) despair down upon me.

Ohhh, wow, I never saw it that way. Jeez, I feel like a lumpkin.

Your sig says "I've overcome existential despair". Hmmm, seems more like you're trying to deny your own by projecting it onto everyone else. At any rate, you're rather obviously, unhealthily obsessed with the very idea.

I'm beginning to suspect as much myself.

I'm not intentionally trying to hurt you by saying that,

Your words didn't hurt me at all-- in fact, they were quite helpful and insightful.

and I'm pretty sure your overall intent is to be helpful, but it's very much what I see.

And now, able to see myself from the outside, I see how the intent isn't being expressed correctly.

I don't want to be guilty of what I'm accusing you of doing, so I'll stop making my own 'connections' here.

Hakuna Matata, your connections were quite good.

However, a word of friendly advice; you might do well to occasionally consider whether you're traveling down a road of assumptions that will ultimately lead to a dead end.

I've got to avoid those assumptions. Perhaps asking questions would be a better idea?

I don't want to hijack further but public explanations are required.

I can understand criticizing me for being an armchair psychotherapist, but I can't recall ever presenting my own knowledge as absolute. So, unlike the know-it-all that I allegedly am, I ask you, wherein have I presented as such? I would certainly rather not present as such, but evidently I need someone else to tell me.*

The example you seek can be found, among others, in the very next paragraph you wrote, obliviously:

Somehow, your fellow moderator, @Cavallier, doesn't have this problem,

Cava, whom is usually less vocal on issues than myself, replied to you to dispel your mistaken assumptions without pointing out her distaste for them, but that does not mean that there isn't a problem:

^Another assumption, this time about me not being bothered by your behavior on this forum. Sadly you are wrong again.

You think this is uncivil? You don't want to see uncivil...

Maybe the mods have a secret agreement to act out a good cop, bad cop routine?

Sometimes I'm snide, that's true, but it would be really nice if you could stop seeing deep, profound issues in everyone (and trying to solve them), and lighten up a bit for fucks sake. Everyone makes assumptions about plenty of things, but yours are particularly aggravating since they're profoundly condescending to people: to think not only that you know what's in people's heads, but then also tell people what to do with their problems you've perceived, presumably for their own good, as if you knew how to solve anything and everything, and that everyone is screaming secretly for your help...

Oh and speaking of mistaken assumptions, the technically correct pronoun to address a Kuu isn't "she". Not that I actually care.

This thread, ironically enough, is about "Day Destroyers". Well, I can't think of a worse day wrecker than someone following me around and constantly raining my own implied (by you) despair down upon me.

Therein lie the reasons for my actions, @Duxwing. I see this happening quite frequently, and I seldom point it out even though it pisses me off (as I'm sure it does others), but when I was reading the thread it pissed me off enough to bring the issue up again, compounded to the fact that it's actually relevant to the thread topic.

Do you know about SATA(/IDE)-USB cables? They would be a good investment if you're working with hard drives often, including an external drive case.

I have a bunch of them. That's where I got the replacement. I gots eSata links.
I just bought a new one though. I guess I thought the external drives would last longer because they get used less, but apparently not.

Stop buying cheap hard drives

They never exposed the data on what brands failed more frequently than others. They simply took an average of all hard drives used.

However, they do say this:

Yeah, I've tried all the popular brands (Maxtor, WD, Seagate) and they all seem to go bad or maybe I'm just unlucky. When I had a desktop, I used raid 1 which mirrored them. So if a drive went bad, I just replaced it and repaired the array. I had a Maxtor and a Western Digital go bad over about 5 years. So it looks like every 2 years I need to replace a hard drive. But that was in a desktop.

But I've been using a laptop for the last 5 years, so maybe laptop drives aren't as good quality. I don't know. They seem to last less than two years for me.

What expensive drives are you talking about? I don't think they make industrial hard drives, but I don't really know.
