What first world problem did you have today?

I do not like calculus. Even after all these years PCSD

I'm making something that cameras apparently can't capture the color of. This is... close, but definitely not the true color. In reality it's so indigo it's almost hard to look at.

Lazurite condom?

I just like making things. I'm playing around with the chemistry of transition metals, using up some copper sulfate root killer. Depending on what you bind the copper to, the colors come out different. I had that light blue stuff I posted in the other thread and this will be a solid neon-indigo powder. If I could go back in time, I might try to be a science youtuber like Cody's Lab - I just like to play.

Youtube history.. delete math video.

Solved!

Dude…he already bought the other one…but they want him to leave the return on his porch for a UP pickup.

Then I don't see the issue, do that. Did not realize that was a service actually. Saves from having to go to post office I guess.

But then he would only be left with uhoh's feed!

The UPS store is a 5-minute drive for me. The issue is I don't want a $500 tablet sitting on my front stoop all day waiting for UPS to pick it up. Wish I could just print a return label and drop it off at UPS store.

you can drop off the same package with the pickup label no?

 

[pete6032]

10-12 people apparently. Plus I'll have a tab for my wife's drinks. Good thing she doesn't drink that much. I'll be damned if I pay for her friends drinks!

Well 10 @ $160 is basically $130 before tip. Figure in tax and that's $120 per 10 or 12, so $10-$12 each. Not highway robbery.

Well that's the rub, they dont give you a return shipping label if you do UPS pickup. The return instructions says UPS will bring the shipping label to your door and all I need to do is set the item outside. I don't know why UPS can't give me a label and I drive it down to the UPS store like any other Amazon return

Was driving on the highway southbound and ran into traffic. Turns out it's just the people gawking at the accident on the northbound side. Some idiot flipped his car. If you want to gawk, pull over and get out of my way!

 

[Motostu]

Yeah, the same happens all the time around here. Danged rubberneckers!

So this week So Cal had an unusual amount of rain. I understand rain isn't common here, especially this amount. But it's like people don't understand how the fuck water works. I saw 3 cars that raced off from red lights in the left turn lane. All 3 fish tailed and 1 just about did a 180 and had to recover. They were lucky they didn't hit a car in the opposite lane. It's impressive to see people lose control who were stopped at a red light. If it's raining and super wet, I dunno don't give it full fucking gas when you get a green light? Especially in a turning lane. And the guy who almost 180ed sped off like he hadn't almost fuckin crashed into oncoming traffic.

I know a lot of people say God doesn't exist. But I pay attention to how people drive and at least once every 10 minutes I see something that should be an accident where nothing happens. That's either God's doing or these people have unusually high amounts of incredibly good luck.

True. Didn't think of it that way. Just sounded a lot when quoted. But it's supporting a new local business and the wife and I like the place well enough.

People in general just go full retard driving in the rain. I don't think it's a SoCal thing. I see it here in the Central Valley as well. But yeah, I hardly actually see accidents where there should've been one.

With gold near record highs, idiot season is starting early this year. The snowbirds are back in Arizona and ready to open their gold mines. “Hi, I want to mine gold, could you tell me where to find it?” “Do you have ten million to cover the upfront costs of opening a very small mine?” “Um, no.” “Then f’ off.”

 

[lxskllr]

There's a creek in PA that has gold in it. I did a bridge over it. I'm sure it's not enough to amount to anything, or there'd already be a mine, but it would be fun panning for gold just for the novelty. I don't think the east is really known for gold reserves.

As per Web Soil Survey, the property i'm on was a glacial plain, and the gravel looks correct. Too much Gold Rush i think

 

[Chaotic42]

Tell them they need at least a 125 mining skill to mine for gold and 155 to smelt it.

I haven't received a package in a month. I guess they glossed over the part where we can't afford or might not be willing to pay their high prices.

Don't feed the greed!

The only "fun" stuff I've bought in a looong time is the crossbow I recently got. I guess the winch also, but that's weird convergence of fun, need, and money maker. Otherwise, it's food and household necessities.
