Random Stuff X: Something Weird

About every minute or so, I'm getting a message saying: Problem with cooling system detected. Please shut down and return for service immediately. Even so, the cooling fan still works. Any idea what's going on @Mestiv?

@Silverblade5 Dust in vents and/ or fan.  Thermal grease might also need to be replaced between the heat sink and cpu.

I would also check to see if your battery is overheating. Just because. 

Yeah, like Orlion suggested, the spinning fan is not the only part of the cooling system. Look for software that will tell you your CPU, harddrive and battery temperature. If it's like 60 °C even when the system is idle, you better take care of it. Notice what temperature is reported when the warning appears, you'll have a point of reference. 

If it's a desktop PC you can try to clean it yourself, it's very easy, just open the case and use compressed air to remove the dust. Cleaning a laptop is also possible, although not as easy. Access to some places in a laptop can be limited and depends on the model. 

In other cases (the cleaning doesn't help) it will be safer to let a professional take a look.

@Darkness Ascendant the shattered infinity symbol is cool. I can just imagine an English teacher talking about its symbolism, though...

When he takes the first bite, be sure to take a picture of his face. For posterity.

We've all known for a while that you're an evil genius, I think, Twi.

@TwiLyghtSansSparkles Where did you find that? Also, who would make that in a serious situation?

I first encountered it in this Cracked article although it's made an appearance on 70s Dinner Party (language warning for both) as well. As for who'd make it….well, I hear that back in the dark days of the 1970s, similar dishes were popular.

I looked at that second one...just...what...why...

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Y'know, I've heard the internet is going crazy over the Mulan Szechuan Teriyaki Sauce....so I looked it up. 

And I'm thinking about making it. Seriously, the recipe I found looks pretty storming good.

I really need to finally watch Rick & Morty, huh?

But first I need to watch Ghost in the Shell and then I have like 50 episodes of Samurai Jack of catching up >.>

Hehe. I haven't seen Rick and Morty, I just heard about the sauce thing secondhand and decided to look it up and see what all the fuss is about. 

Except the recipe calls for plum sake, which could be expensive. :/

[A Budgie she/her]

I haven't watched it either, but I like both szechuan and teriyaki, so it sounds rather good to me.

 Apparently you can mix barbeque and sweet chili sauce you get at McDonald's and have a close approximation

My parents sent me a care package yesterday. Alongside the stuff for me—Easter candy, a gift card, decorative signs for my apartment—there was a bag of treats made with duck meat. 

Spoiler

 

Which is apparently food of the gods, because after one taste, Bruce demanded another. And another. 

Spoiler

 

And that wasn't the end of it. While I made lunch yesterday, Bruce went to the closet where I'd stashed the duck treats and whimpered. He did that twice. He would sit beside the closet and stare at me longingly. I had thought that maybe the novelty would've worn off by this morning, but no. Bruce is usually lazy in the mornings, wanting to doze off with his head on my leg, but this morning he was ready before I was fully awake. He pounced over and kissed my face, and when that didn't get me out of bed right away, he kissed my ear until I rolled over, then positioned himself underneath me so I had to sit up. And when I was finally out of bed, you know where he went first? 

Yep. Right to the duck treats. 

As I type this, he isn't on my bed. I have a feeling I know where he is. 

….

Yep. By the duck treats.
