Did yours overheat really badly? My 11th gen i5 pavilion did. Repaste, everything. Just ran super hot on battery. It’d kick on the fan and goodbye battery
Get a cheap old fashioned alarm clock (we’re talking about something that costs maybe 10 bucks).
Put it out of reach so that you have to physically get out of bed to turn it off.
Configure it to go off at the appropriate time with the nastiest sound (usually they have an “alarm with a radio” and an “alarm with alarm sound” modes and you definitely want to have it in the latter mode, not the former).
It’s a pretty horrible way to wake up if you went to bed late (protip: stop drinking coffee and using a computer after 11PM to deal with the whole only falling asleep late part of the problem) and that’s why it works.
Tough question, because there are some great ones.
A recent favorite from the Netflix era has been “Cry Wilderness”. The movie was laughably bad in the first place, but that just made it great for the MST3k treatment.
So many great lines in there. Like the old man talking about how all the animals and nature are his family and friends and they voice the bird responding with “He’s not my friend. I’m not indigenous to this area. Please call the police.” That cracked me up so bad the first time I didn’t hear anything else for at least the next few minutes.
And also the running gag around terribly unsafe firearm handling: “BANG!”
That now goes through my head whenever a show just waves a gun around like an obvious prop instead of at least pretending it could be dangerous.
The nest of blue tits we have every year. Some of them keep hanging around and we feed them on the balcony. My wife works from home and it is nice to watch them play and eat. We also have woodpeckers every year. I love birds.
