FML general thread [7]

[soul.assassin]

So something has nomnomnommed nearly all the space on my 112 GB(!) SSD (seriously, there's like less than a gigabyte left on there). I'm trying to work out what it is but I can't find any obvious culprits. Although I keep on finding bits of old software that I long since uninstalled, like this shitty game and old antivirus sprawled all over my computer in totally random locations (and oddly enough, McAffee, despite the fact I have never installed McAffee willingly and always decline requests to install it with freeware). So I'm going to have to hunt around my C drive and get rid of as much shit as possible, and I have no way of quickly identifying the problem.

Deep joy.

Try Revo Uninstaller, followed by ccCleaner.

[Squigsquasher]

Good news! Installed a little programme called WizTree that identifies what's using the most space on any given drive. Used it and found 3 culprits:

1: Every THQ game I had seems to have installed itself in a single huge folder on my C Drive. Just moved the folder to the D Drive.

2: A pair of crappy torrents I had (for the Borderlands games) which for some reason were saving content in local AppData (on the C Drive as it's main system drive). Turns out the torrents were broken anyway, so I deleted the fuckers.

3: For some reason, Google had made a folder somewhere hidden away amongst the Program Data directory, which included a 19 Gigabyte folder full of stuff from Google Chrome, presumably info it was tracking from me...despite me having uninstalled Chrome ages ago. Very suspicious. In any case, it's gone.

Thanks to my cleanup I went from having 800 MB of free space to 34 Gigabytes. So that's nice.

I will definitely install that RevoUninstall thing for future use though. I do have ccCleaner and I ought to use it.

Pre-History: 8/20

Ancient Middle East: 8/20

8 out of freaking 20. You know, what really annoys me isn´t so much the actual grade I got, it´s the fact that these are classes I like. I learn tons of new things, the teachers are great... So I feel disappointed that my grades don´t match my love for these classes.

Nothing is set in stone and I have plenty of time to recover and get better numbers, but still...

I know the feeling. Do you have a good relationship with those teachers? Visiting them might prove helpful in improving your grades-- they can tell you exactly what you need to work on.

[Justacrazyguy]

Visiting them

Not a bad solution. Although, trying to manage my free time to match their work hours would be a challenge! Still, I´m positive things will work out if I make an effort. I just need to avoid a situation like the one I had in highschool, where I just floated trough school, never really present. Kind of makes me surprised I even reached this university!

Totally worth it. If you love the material and can connect with the instructors it's very much in your interest to do so. Make the effort!

Been working on a college assignment for 2 weeks, finally finished it+handed it in today.........only to find out i handed it in 2 minutes after the deadline so if i failed i don't get a retry.
god-damn school system........

[Bagheera]

Might work out if instructor is not a dick . . .

[Rosenakahara]

And i just found out another assignment was handed out when i was off sick last week, that deadline is tomorrow, what the fuck.
Im going to have to appeal for more time.

I really should stop reading threads about relationships and such on reddit, especially when I'm already in a mood.

[Guy Nacks]

The only time I ever go on reddit are for AMAs of people that I'm interested in reading, am I really missing a lot by not frequenting it?

No.

So I got a parking ticket....infront of my house where I've been living for 18 years now. There are no signs, I do not obstruct any traffic and everyone parks there for as long as I can remember. 3 other cars infront and behind me and I was the only one who got a ticket. I feel like someone is pulling my leg.

[Chuckman]

The Freidman thread reminds me how rusty and out of touch I am with my own field of study and that makes me sad. I used to know stuff.

[soul.assassin]

In-law was really a fucking monster.

Asked for password to sis' Dropbox account. I asked why, and he angrily refused to answer, insisting for the password. Knowing this fucking alpha-male asshole, and that I live everyday here as if I have a gun pointed to my head, and what he might do to my room and everything in it (or worse, I said before that he has two handguns, a knife and would break bones) if I didn't, I had to hand off the password over.

There was nothing I could do, but I felt as if I was violated.

Next thing he was hunched over the laptop, apparently trying to find anything incriminating as if he was expecting sis to be "two-timing" on him.

I wish this motherfucker die of a heart attack or a coronary. And if he tries to break into my PC I swear I am going to do worse on him no matter how big this bastard is.

[Ray]

Let me say. I can totally relate and empathize. The majority of my extended family isn't any better.

But don't wish death on anyone. I wish for their redemption, even if they are jackals in human skin.

Is there any legal action you can take? This has got to be violating a law of some sort.

[soul.assassin]

It would be poetic justice if at least he crashes into something after getting drunk at some binge.

The words that any dictatorship tells you: "There's Nothing To Hide."

And it applies here, too.

Can you get a lock of hair, some fingernails, perhaps some dead skin?

I'll see what I could do. Mainly his problem is that he coughs, wheezes and has sleep apnea. How he smells he's like a walking phlegm factory.

BTW, one of the dorks lost her school project somewhere in the house; it was in a shopping bag and forgot it as they were bloody busy setting up the Christmas tree -- she's not exactly known for organizational skills -- so couldn't find that goddamn thing tonight. I felt like I want to yell at her for being so fucking dumb and busy yapping on Facebook (and I can't because these dorks are "golden").

[backseatjesus]

So, the girl I was seeing cheated on me with a friend that I've know for a long time who told me in the past that he wasn't interested in her in any way, when I was getting to know her. I fucking hate everything right now.
