thistlechaser: (Fuwa tackled)
The new AC adapter came today. I installed it, and not only did it not fix the issue, it made it worse. It went from "98% (plugged in, not charging)" to 94%. So I called tech support again. Call went something like this:

Me: Hi, I called in over the weekend, had (problem), they thought it was an issue with the AC adapter, so they sent me. That didn't fix the problem.
Guy: Yes. Your AC adapter wasn't the problem.

Duh?

Anyway. Now they say it's the battery, so they're sending me a new one. Luckily it's under warranty.

Question! This is likely a stupid question, but I've never had a laptop before. Last time I called Toshiba tech support (when I first had this issue, months ago), I asked if the machine would still work if the battery dropped to 0% but it was still plugged in. They told me no. Thus I've been in a panic about this! However, googling (and logic) tells me the that that should be incorrect: If it's plugged in, even if the battery is 0%, it should work? Another case of their support sucking or will it really stop working when it hits 0% even if it's plugged in?

I use it only as a desktop machine, the darned thing is bigger than any desktop machine I've owned, I wouldn't try to take it anywhere with me, so if that's the case then this really isn't an awful issue.

While RP is a pretendy game, I like to base it in fact whenever it fits. Also, I enjoy learning things I'd otherwise never have reason to look into.

Tonight there was RL conflict, so I wasn't able to do a RP scene. I made an IC excuse for it: Thistle had to take care of a sick animal on the farm (a yak). I wanted to write a pre-bed message, something like "Yaks throw up a lot when they're sick", but then I paused and wondered if yaks can throw up.

So off to google! I searched "can yaks vomit", quotes included. No results! I've found a question that no one has wondered enough to post online where Google can access it! (Though now I guess my LJ will come up when someone searches for it. Way to spoil it, self!)

I have no idea if cow stomachs and yak stomachs are enough alike to apply cow to yak, but for the sake of getting to bed, I'm going to say so.

Farms: The best thing that have happened to WoW. :P
