You know, duct tape was designed so you could tear it with your hands.

Yes, I knew that... but still wanted to cut my Duck-branded duct tape. Then I tried ripping it afterward and it was easy as hell. The tear was also pretty clean too. I am fail.

The beans in my pasta fagioli didn't cook fast enough, so lunch was late.

I cleaned the garage and put the finished dresser in my bedroom. Now I don't know what to build.

I sorted my yogurt by expiration date.

I eat one, sometimes two containers of Greek yogurt a day and can't resist a good sale. So I have 16 of them in the fridge right now and wanted to make sure I didn't keep pushing the old ones to the back ("always rotate your stock"). Turns out, only one of them is even dated to expire in March. I did notice I'm out of coconut, though. Might have to go to the store.

I guess you don't use a VPN. I have 50mbps and according to speedtest I'm lucky to see 20. 10 is probably the average.

comcrap = 50mb d/l speed
comcrap w/pia vpn = 7mb d/l speed :(

Might switch to TOR vpn when pia expires

I have to use my printer... Unlike my old printer that was only USB capable, my new one is Wifi, but I have to turn on my wireless AP. The button is all the way on the back of the router.

Updated firefox on android, and it runs like shit. Had to swtich to icecat on android which uses the esr release(38), then get my extensions on parity with firefox. I had it installed as a backup option, but didn't really use it. Side note... Librejs flags the fsf sites as using non-free js :^D

love Pad thai dish.
decided to make my own but didn't want to spend the time/effort in making the sauce so bought it in a jar.

doesn't taste like the pad thai I have in restaurants.

probably never going to use it again.
$3 down the drain

Nah no reason to VPN here unless its for work, and then it's painfully slow, but on someone else's dime. Lol. I average like 125-155mbps download in sustained speeds. Still, nothing can compare to fiber I'm sure. =(

The shitter on the second floor is right above my computer and stereo... There's been a leak forever that we can't find. I thought the leak was in another room where the ceiling is damaged, but now it sounds like it's above my stuff and I spotted a stain on the ceiling. FML.

Edit: And I am knowlingly being ripped-off: need file folders, I can get 100 for $10 at Staples or 24 for $10 at Amazon. I only need 24, don't want the extra trash, and don't want to walk to Staples:(.

In jars (see the three extra steps at the bottom for making thicker Greek-style yogurt)

With fruit

Yeah, a lot of the Internet seems to be offline for maintenance in the early weekend mornings.

Don't want to cook so I want a pizza. Who will I get? Pizza Hut, Domino, Papa John?

Pizza Hut because of the 2 medium with 1 topping for $10 plus sale tax. Then the cook put too much sauce on one of the pizza.
