March has been a grab bag of good, bad, and ugly as anyone in the Telegram chat has heard. Sorry for being MIA for so long!
- First off, increasing tensions between me and family has resulted in me living in the uninsulated metal shed for the past two weeks, living off of jugs of water from the store and canned foods.
- Last week my brother invited me into his detached-from-the-house room for some Space Engineers to cut the boredom, a dumb argument over how to build a solar array resulted in him showing just how bipolar he is as he wound up cutting me instead. 17 stitches that come out this Saturday.
- My motherboard/BIOS also decided to lash out, refusing to boot any OS from my hard drive regardless of Windows 7 or Ubuntu, but booted Ubuntu off a USB just fine and on top of that USBuntu can access my other USBs and even the HDD just fine. Won't be able to afford to replace the mobo with one that's compatible with everything, and even then that invalidates my current copy of Windowstains because of Microsoft's EULA tying it specifically to the motherboard it detects even though it's stored on the hard drive, so I'm likely gonna be saving for an entire new build once I get work in town.
- The good news! Friday or Monday I am moving into town proper, where I can finally be close enough for employers to even consider me without having a car. Said bills associated with this will be why I cannot afford to replace my computer parts, but once a job is lined up it's not far off from being able to scrape together funds, but most importantly I can finally get away from the madness of my mother who is always griping at and verbally deriding her not-mentally-perfect offspring, and my brother who can't tell the difference between a crazed axe murderer and someone closing his door because he's blasting his music and responds by pulling a knife that mom shouldn't even let him have.
- The BBCode formatting for lists here is giving my OCD a fit.
