    Well I have a problem.

    Had a new pump in the sump installed recently to feed the tanks and it is not turning off when emptied. I believe the float valve is giving incorrect instruction!

    I am not a plumber so I will shake the things and give it a kick and with any luck…

      last time my toilet was acting up i removed the its helmet, gave it an angry stare, starved it of water and made it work an extra order. It said sorry won’t do that again

      There could be some shit in the float valve. Look for a part number and search youtube for service tips?

    Useful shopping this weekend for some winter clothes which needed replacing. 2 hoodies and a pair of track pants. Looking forward to coziness. Although it’s annoying that things just don’t last like they used to, quality is so much lower than it used to be.

      Lol I used to have this am pm shift happening when I did rotating day/night shift. I’d wake up in a darkened room with an analogue clock and no idea whether it was say 2am or 2pm. Very disorientating!

    It’s so dark 😓

    I almost want to turn the heater on for emotional support. But it’s 19 degrees inside so I will refrain. But it looks cold.

    It really doesn’t help that I’ve just returned from 10 days in a tropical island resort. It’s like being plunged into winter all at once.

    The alarm to get ready for work went off and I woke to a text asking if I would like AL today. Hell yeah I do! Back to sleep for me.

    Looking forward to the reunion for mafs, last few episodes have been a snore fest. Don’t think I’ll be watching future seasons though, been getting more and more obvious with the forced storylines by the producers and clear terrible matches.

    I’ve got a dual partition on my laptop and dual boot between windows and Ubuntu. But Ubuntu seems to have booked my windows partition after an update. I don’t keep anything important on either partition, or even do anything important on the laptop, so it’s no big loss. But I used the windows partition for meetings and 3D printing things.

    The drive seems to be working fine though, and I can still access my windows drive through Ubuntu, so it’s probably fixable when I’ve got the time and brain capacity to figure out what the hell is even wrong with it

      Do you have two bootloader entries in the BIOS? Or were you using GRUB (or Systemd-boot) to boot between them?

      It’s probably easy to fix, it’s just knowing exactly what happened is probably the most complicated step lol

      Hope you’re able to fix it. Having the different OSes on different drives (portable drive in case of laptop) seems to cause the least amount of issues with boot entries dying after updates.

        It’s setup to use GRUB I’m pretty sure. After windows started refusing to boot, GRUB/Ubuntu started yelling about the environment block being too small, although it didn’t prevent Ubuntu from starting up I fixed it anyways by deleting and recreating it (following this), which fixed it.

        It’s probably easy to fix, it’s just knowing exactly what happened is probably the most complicated step lol

        It really is lol. Doesn’t help that windows error messages are either hyper specific (or more commonly) so vague they’re next to useless with absolutely no in between. Since the error message is hard drive related, all the Microsoft support articles and forum posts are mostly suggesting that the hard drive is completely dead with no hope of recovery and to buy a new one, although since it seems to be working completely fine through Ubuntu I’m doubting that’s the case
