What first world problem did you have today?

[igor_kavinski]

There's an 88% chance when I "open" a new box I've mangled the top flap so badly there's no chance it'll ever close right.

Be gentle

You have to peel a corner up, stick your finger in the groove, then slide your finger along the seam. There's a risk of papercuts, and it doesn't work on some oddball cereals. Aldi stuff from Germany easily goes to shit. Their muesli also has a super annoying plastic bag inside that runs a real risk of ripping straight down the bag rather then removing a corner. Everything got worse when they quit using waxed paper bags.

Generic cereals shouldn't even count, I'm 98% gonna fuck those up. Aldi's cereals are some of the worst offenders. I'm almost sure their "boxes" are printed on the same paper I use in my Laser Printer.

And for the other reply of "be gentle" When I want a bowl of knockoff Cinnamon Toast Crunch I don't have damn time to be gentle or patient.

Letter openers FTW!

I was gonna suggest a knife, but thought QueBert might hurt himself :^P :^D

Congratulations on your new Cybertruck!

I've been alive for 5 decades, and I apparently still don't know how to open a cereal box. There's an 88% chance when I "open" a new box I've mangled the top flap so badly there's no chance it'll ever close right. I will never not be extremely disappointed in myself when I do this




I had a neighbor that moved, they had some 120v to EV adapter thingy, you could look into that. But, I think they told me to charge from 20-80% would take a week or something.

Shouldn't the dealership be helping you with that?

I did not need the dealership help because I "had a guy." Now I don't have a guy.

I have the 120 volt charger for our hybrid. (level 1) Now I need a 240 volt charger (level 2) In fact there are two types of this. One takes a 40 amp breaker and the better one takes a 60 amp breaker. Not sure if I would need my panel upgraded which is why I wanted to use a guy that I trusted.

At least I have 2 months to get this worked out, maybe longer if Germany does something to make Trump throw a hissy fit.

I am not sliding my finger into a 60A box!

Went to Dunkin for a free St. Pats day donut. I had a green t-shirt on. They said no. Bought a donut and coffee. While eating did some research on my phone. It was Krispy Kreme giving a free donut. Oh well.

I turn a spoon over and slide up under the tab. Then slide right and left to loosen the top flap from the lower flap. Voila!

Dude...I've demolished cereal boxes my WHOLE LIFE! You just made my day lol.

Giggity.

Trip to Japan booked! Done with hotels, flights, tours for the two weeks there. Saved places that are interesting.

Checked again three days later, some of the places that i booked that offer no refund or change just lower the prices.

So the new Samsung 9100 M.2 drives start at $200 for 1TB and go up to a 4TB Pro model w/heatsink for $570.

Yeh, the speeds are pretty crazy. I'm struggling to figure out why I would need a drive that fast. For the cost of the 4TB model you can put together a decent PC. Especially if you use some used parts. These must be drives for the RTX 5090 crowd.

For loading large LLMs quickly into VRAM and system RAM especially with 192GB and soon (end of 2025) 256GB RAM consumer rigs built for consuming LLMs.

My orange cat has been acting odd with the litter, digs a lot, and yowls when he's done, so I brought him to the vet and $600 later, everything is fine. I guess it's a good thing that everything is fine, but I also had to spend $600 to find out.

They recommended I look into adding another litter box and gave me urinary food that also has a stress reducer in it, they said sometimes stress can cause them to act like they have a urinary tract infection.

It could've been worse. A guy here told me that his cat got sick and he had to pay almost $1350 to the vet.

Must have more speed! I don’t care if the chip is in a plasma state, more speed!


Actually, with my latest computer, the final speed wall was finally overcome: Excel opens the format cell dialogue box with no delay.

I'm still running spinning rust. SSDs are great for OS drive but spinning rust is just more cost effective for me. I value disk space more than speed so I'm willing to sacrifice speed. I have around 40TB between 3 different raid arrays on my NAS and lots of room to expand further. Although it would be fun to build a NAS with 2.5" bays and use regular SSDs. M.2 are not that practical imo as there's not much in terms of hot swap options. I guess once you get into systems that actually require those speeds, that's less important as you have many nodes and you can lose a node or more and not have any problems. Ex: Ceph.

I dropped around $6-7k on my cat's broken leg a few months ago, shit adds up fast.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Ouch that's an insane amount of money. That cat would be getting a job after that to help pay for it lol.

I drove from Missouri to Arizona through Oklahoma both to and back. Oklahoma wants $61 in tolls for the privilege.
