I am experiencing sharp pains behind my eyeballs from looking at my phone and old laptop.

How did ancient man ever service with screen sizes below 28"?

There is a lack privacy, kids are constantly insisting I join them in a thing called Roblox. Apparently that is the cool game for the young people, the very young, she is 5.

Upon entering Roblox Meepcity I had to attend a house party which had about 20 people dancing on a disco floor.

I used my son's account, he is 4.

When randoms asked me how old I was, I said 40, they laughed at my funny joke.

My back hurts.

I might have to leave my computer at some point. Blind Owl, Crude Sasquatch, Sum1, and I think O_Lefty were there when my computer exploded this weekend.

A large capacitor in my 1,000 watt power supply blew. Nearly killed me, but I'm the tank.

Florida you say? Sounds like a great idea.

I have spilled everything and anything on laptops, phones and my computer and nothing has failed on me. I bet that thing popped like a firecracker judging by the scorch and carbon.

Hope the rest of your kit is fine but we live in modern times so if I were to hazard a guess at worst your mobo is fried.

Nothing else was hurt. Just my power supply.

Water leak? What caused the malfuction?
No water leak. We don't have enough of that here in AZ, let alone the 3rd floor of my home where I keep the computer. Probably just the heat from my 1080 that sits right above it. The golden graphics demand sacrifices sometimes.

Dang! And you lived! Username checks out! (I'm glad to say).
Not only did I survive but I revived my computer within 12 hours. It would have been sooner but the capacitor blew right as the stores closed. I did what any average hero would do and cried myself to sleep.

So glad the wife and I decided on not having kids.

Time to get the kids an off the shelf laptop.
