What first world problem did you have today?

[MrSquished]

This is a long ongoing first world problem. I have a bunch of shades, but my absolute favorite are my large Ray-ban aviators. The issue is, they suck at staying put when not being worn. Hang them on my shirt collar, they fall out a lot when I bend over, but my other shades don't. Also, they don't stay well on the top of my head. They are just loose. Can't seem to tighten them enough. WTF!

They have a solution to that...

I’m not sure which level of world this qualifies as but this is the shower in my hotel room.

Bud Lite was most likely involved there. That's some serious redneck engineering.

Maybe twenty bucks a night wasn't such a great deal after all?

Yes, worked fine. I was a bit nervous that the floor was rotted out under the tub as it was slanted to one side and sort of swayed.

FWP of the day: punk-ass squirrel keeps eating the bird seed...

 

[Red Squirrel]

Fun entertainment for the cat though lol.


FWP for today is one of my friends asked me for help to tear out his old deck but he spent most of the time on his phone so I was doing the work while his kid was staying close to me so I had to be careful and go slower. I wanted to just use the chainsaw to cut it up in smaller chunks quickly because I knew it was about to rain, but was not sure if he was trying to save the wood and he was on his phone dicking around instead of answering me. Was using the crow bar in the mean time. By the time I finally got the go ahead to use the chainsaw it started to rain. Did most of it before it got too bad. Didn't feel like getting drenched, and my chainsaw is electric so I stopped. Could have had the whole thing done before the rain started if I just got a straight answer. I guess it's technically his FWP now, he's stuck with a half demolished deck that is a bit of a death trap now. Won't be able to go until later this week since I work starting tomorrow.

Cooking pork chops. Can't find the black pepper but there's this jar of cayenne on the counter. That'll work, right?

Guess I used too much. Sneezing, nose is running. The hood vent is on and I had to open the back door.

Upside, guess they'll be hot.



edit: effing weather map showed no rain. Got dumped on 10 min in. Having enough rust issues with the bike already.

Sounds delicious!

Cayenne is not even hot. Maybe just above Paprika

Good. A little bite. The boss wouldn't approve but she's out of town. It was a full moon and I was left unattended.


Chops came from my sis in laws so I know what was and was not put into them.

Sent that to the boy. Now that he doesn't live in the magic house, he has to cook for himself.

I accidentally put cayenne pepper on my poutine when I wanted to put seasoning salt instead. It was not terrible, but it sure caught me by surprise lol.

My toothpaste has 5% KNO3. Is it going to blow my head off?

Wife went to go to work yesterday and her power steering was out. I went and got some power steering fluid only to realize it's an electric motor when I popped the hood, ended up driving to the shop today without power steering.

On top of that, got to work and my laptop was scorching hot when I took it out of my backpack and wouldn't power on at all, tried disconnecting the battery with the tech services guy but did nothing. They gave me a loaner laptop while they repair it but they didn't give me admin rights so I can't install all the programs I need without asking for temporary access each time. Also, this thing should be fast as hell (i7-13850, 64gb ram and an nvme drive) but it hitches and runs like crap, I'm assuming because of all the shitty tracking software from IT, which probably killed my other laptop too because it kept it from going to suspend.

Our water softener blew its top (some kind of seal failure between the resin tank and the mechanism on top) overnight yesterday. Fortunately it's in our basement, which is unfinished, but we have a lot of stuff down there. Based upon the timeframe that my network went down (UPS failed because it's on the floor and got wet), I estimate the water was running for ~6 hours. Wife and I worked non-stop from 6AM to ~8:30PM trying to clean up the mess, and there's plenty left to do.

Edit: the softener is less than 2 years old; our last one went 15 years with no issues until it just wouldn't recharge anymore

Why isn't there an easier way to remember the number of days in each month? That stupid poem is no use at all.

Had to work out a date today and was going "Thirty days hath October....no wait, is that right?...Thirty days hath November, Feburary, June and December...no that can't be right...Thirty days hath September, and the rest I can't remember...."

Nor could I remember how to do the knuckle-counting thing either, before someone suggests that.

Why didn't they (the Romans or the Anglo-Saxons, or the early Christians or whatever fools were responsible for this mess) make it something simple, like "the first five months have 31 days the rest have 30" No, they had to make it all unnecessarily convoluted so nobody can ever remember it.

 

[IronWing]

Have you tried sounding out the knuckles?
