I got sprayed with piping by piping hot coolant today. :D

Friend of mine (who is actually paying me and not expecting a free ride) brought his car to me because it was overheating. When it gets to me the temperature was all the way to the maximum the gauge can display - so I leave it sit there for 45 minutes, come back... Feel the hoses, they are luke warm. Same with the radiator. Figured I could safely open the radiator cap -- WRONG. Nice hot coolant shower!

Luckily I wasn't seriously burned, but damn that car must have been running REALLY hot for it to be that pressurized nearly an hour later. I mean, I've (carefully) opened the radiator caps of cars that were running pretty hot and not got sprayed like that.

The problem turned out to be a clogged radiator, so that would explain some of the pressure, but still.
 
damn i wish i had a girlfriend, then i could make it an excuse to take her for a lunch or dinner and have all that delicious food almost every Friday.
she'd pay the bill though

Which school?

I'm finishing up my 7th quarter. One more final exam tomorrow... er, today and then I'm off for two weeks.
 
University of Arizona. I also was accepted into NYU, but I want to get out of the state for awhile. I may go back there for grad school though.
 
That bish Irene is what caused my psu to fry. My new one hasn't arrived yet.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Same thing happened to me in 1997 with Hurricane Danny. My very first custom-built PC and all of the surges killed the power supply. Worse, power was out for nearly a week, so after everything was over, I assumed everything was fine and tried to turn it on. Nothing happened. "Did I unplug it? No, still plugged in." Took another week and a half to deliver a new one because UPS didn't want their drivers on the messed up roads not able to make deliveries in some areas.
