Wow, you keep your bikes in a shed in London and they stay there?
Well, I don't want to jinx it. But yeah, sure. I sank a u-lock into a bucket of cement underneath it and cut a hole in the floor when I built the shed, so they lock to that. But so far as I know, nobody's so much as tried yet.
Many of the bad things people say about London ain't really so!

But then again, much of it is! I'll never forget walking to the bus stop and wondering what all the flowers piled up outside a pub was all about. Turns out a 14 year old kid was stabbed to death when he refused to hand over his mobile :|
As for bikes, I've given up trying to own one in Edinburgh until I have somewhere properly secure to keep it. The best one was when I got home one day to notice my bike had been nicked from the stairwell (D-locked to a sturdy railing, they'd chipped the concrete step away to get the railing out. D'oh). The next morning, after the thieves realised how shit the bike was, it was returned to the stair. Managed to keep hold of it another 3 weeks before it was nicked again, this time for good :(
Well yes, unfortunately people get stabbed here sometimes. I don't think that's a particularly London thing though? Seem to be plenty of cities in the UK with a bit of a gang problem. I dunno, maybe there is more of it proportionally to anywhere else, that's some big sums to do. I do live in relatively leafy 'n quiet Ealing though (albeit a bit of the riot happened here the other year too).
I was more meaning things like people saying "and nobody ever helps anyone on the Tube!" which I see a lot, but actually I also see a lot of people helping other people on the tube as well. I didn't realise Edinburgh was so positively Liverpudlian with its need for bike security!
It was more of the age of those involved that shocked me.
Absolutely nothing happening. I've got the motherboard out of the case, no ram no graphics, literally just the CPU and cooler (corsair h80i so it's using a few plugs to supposedly power that). The motherboard lights come on as so as I turn on the PSU, but I can't get it to go any further.
Is it possible for the CPU to cause this, or am I pretty much able to blame the motherboard at this point?
Any dodgy looking capacitors on the motherboard? I'd suspect motherboard over cpu tbh.
I can't see anything, but much of it is covered by this armour stuff which I have liked for durability but maybe not so much now.
Heat-spreading armour stuff or hardened against nuclear blast armour stuff?
And, perhaps more importantly, would the armour be sufficient in the event of a shark attack? I read that Sharknado 4 is in the offing.
