surgery time https://computerfairi.es/media/gQtCU3Ae1okTpb4RTSk

@softgoat small tape recorders are cheap used and can be fun to tinker with :3

@bea a good part of my skull had been sawed up and reattached and i couldn't even make the suction force for straws lest i get everything undone for the first couple of weeks

@bea no, i washed it out with a nose spray thing and sucked anything out with a little uh

hand pump thingy? that's supposed to be used for baby noses

@bea ughhh me after my jaw surgery

@envgen rude! :o

@rey i blame myself because i'm too scared to say "please stop" because i'm afraid of getting into trouble so i just left the muck instead of saying anything to the person after reading their description

incidentally this kind of thing happens often irl too :') i'm never going to the local anime con alone again

i ended up just quitting the muck. thought it'd make me feel better but lmao it did exactly the opposite

this person's character description is of a naked bearded male who describes at length being overweight, hairy and his genitals

like. of all things to be this person wanted to be that.

more power to him i just wish he'd stop touching my tail but i don't want to get into trouble for telling someone off

how do you tell someone in a muck their character really grosses you out but without making it sound like you're an asshole

@noelle i'll be fine eventually

if the image stays good on the monitor, that confirms the problem was the -15v line on the PSU. if not, it might mean it's something else entirely in the monitor.

if the PSU is indeed at fault, i should probably find a more reliable solution than adding a regulator to the faulty PSU, but i'm not sure what that would entail.

so yesterday i got a 7915 power regulator (negative 15 volts, 1 amp) as a last resort attempt to rectify the PVM's power supply. after discussing the problem at length with the guy in charge of an electronics shop (he was very kind and patient to dissect the supply's schematic with me) we couldn't come to a good conclusion as to what's happening with it. so in the end i'm gonna try regulating the -15v (which is outputting anywhere between -17v to -22v) and seeing if that fixes it.

@noelle not great

got in class about an hour and a half late

@lizardsquid hhh

thanks...

@lizardsquid ;; why is it fun

@lizardsquid hi

i wish anyone were online

me: begrudgingly gets ready after all that and is already 40 minutes late to leave the house
also me: wastes time sitting and staring at homescreen waiting for any sort of message from someone
