=== Heat Wave PSA ===
One thing my mother has advised for people in the areas with 40c/104f weather is if you can, soak in a bathtub filled with cold water.
This is apparently a thing people used to do in the olden days to beat the heat, back before they had air conditioning.
Also, keeping cool is especially important for older folks, as the body has a harder time regulating its temperature as you get older.
things dont suck as much as social media makes u think they do. the world is good and there are beautiful places protected by beautiful people whose infinite grace extends through you, innate to your being. there is a future worth fighting for and it is beautiful and it is bright and it is within our grasp

Yep. Air bubbles.
In its current setup, they all go to the pump too, since the radiator is too big for the upper fan slots
Time to improvise I guess
Ecological misinfo: please stop
Hey everyone please stop sharing that plankton article, there’s no actual linked research and the org GOES’ website is only pointing out what most ecologists have already been warning about for ages, which is that we’ve got about 25 years left before we have a massive plankton problem. If this is something you didn’t know about already then I hate for this to be your intro to ocean acidification but FWIW current plankton populations are like, still alive
Going theory: air bubbles. Since it's an AIO I want to hold off on dealing with that though, unless it happens again in which case all bets are off
computer troubles
Uuuugh, the watercooling block on my desktop seems to be shot after the move. Terribly dim so it's like there's not enough power going to it, even though the fan controls are set to PWM and it doesn't have a PWM pin.
Worse still, I dug out a backup unit and it seems to also be having similar issues, plus the thermal paste I've got seems like garbage, PLUS the only 120mm fan I've got is a silent chassis fan without enough oomf to blow the damn radiator's nose. I can barely keep the computer on for longer than a minute like this
Pet care
I've taken in my old roommate's cat as of yesterday, since she was struggling badly in his new place with his girlfriene and her cat, and have been busy trying to help her adjust.
She was really withdrawn and frightened at first to the point where she was barely eating, but thankfully after the first 24 hours and focused care she's doing lots better. Still a bit jumpy over the smallest noises but she's comfortable to lay beside me or wander off to explore when my new roommates aren't roaming.
Maybe she'll adjust to them too once she has her bearings!
