What first world problem did you have today?

[Puffnstuff]

I tried to edit a post on my favorite forum and found out that I couldn't.

Search still doesn't work in Tapatalk even after a total forum change-over.

I got some bad acid and went to favorite forum. Oh god, it was . . . . words can't . . . . I don't even . . .

Shopping for TVs and a lot of them are "Smart" with integrated wifi et al. I want my TVs to be full retard! Seriously.

It's pretty crazy what you can pick up for cheap even at an entry level 4K these days, went grocery shopping at Sam's Club earlier today and what you can get for 1/4 the price of the same size years ago is wild.

But I guess electronics have always been that way.

One of the forums I visit daily became a fucking social network site.

I gave you a Like to make you feel better. There there. Like Like.

So, I went to Wal-mart, lined up at the Express Checkout, some jackass coughed on the back of my head. I felt the burst of air hit the back of my bald/shaved head...

No room on the shelf for the latest addition. Not getting up from the couch to even try.

So you're the asshole. :colbert"

I wish they had an FU button. At least it would be useful and something I would be proud to collect.

You have a nice collection.

I'm considering buying a 2-foot stepladder because my ~20" step ladder is a tad low. This could easily be fixed with a phone book or two but I threw them all out the second they arrived because I use the internet to look up phone numbers.

...and here I was expecting to get called out for a thinly-veiled brag post.

Thanks.

I went to the gym yesterday for the first time in about 7 months and my muscles are really sore today.

The good news is that you'll almost certainly be fully recovered by the next time you hit the gym. In seven months.

You gotta have some protein IMMEDIATELY after finishing the workout. Thats the main reason those hardcore assholes who slam the weights also bring their protein shake with them. They drink it while walking out the door. In the time it takes to go down your stomach and get processed to the blood, your muscle cells are already starting to regenerate. you cant waste time helping them out.

Also, I found a proper warm-up, cool-down, and finishing stretch make a huge difference when it comes to pain. Its the difference between being unhappy and utterly miserable.

My coffee pot beeped that it was finished and when I went to check and get a cup of coffee it was still brewing.

Get to work and the first thing I do is log into ATOT (after opening Outlook, of course) and see that these forums have taken some major damage over the weekend. what the FUCK is this?

If I take it with me it will be all gross and warm by the time I finish working out! Luckily my gym is just downstairs, so it's only a quick elevator ride to protein. I'll make sure to have it right away though; thanks shorty.

Forums have clearly been hacked. First Southwest, then Delta, now ATOT.

Decided to replace more bulbs and now have to go to Ikea to pick up more bulbs. Holy crap, they must be loss-leading with them because I can get two 400 lumen LEDs for CA$ 4 and two 600 lumen LEDs for CA$ 6 now. Closest with Philips is like CA$ 6 a bulb.

Something else that helps are plant sterols. They work like steroids to reduce inflammation and recovery time. In case you think this is some dodgy, the main sterol supp. I take is something called TruHeart from the same company that makes One-a-day vitamins. It's marketed as a cholesterol reducer but it also works for lifting.

Here are the ingredients -

Since I've started lifting again, the only day I've had any pain was the one day I ran out of TH. Then every muscle I'd targeted in the previous work out was painful. But otherwise, I haven't had any pain at all. It's almost disappointing because you feel like you haven't done anything.

To be fair though, I do get a protein shake at the gym after each workout with some other additives. But even that didn't help the one time I didn't take TH. There are other phytosterol complexes you can try if one doesn't give you the results you want.

After reading that the Atari 800 and some 800XLs had both composite and S-Video on their monitor output DIN connectors, I looked up the price of combo cables so it would work with both computers. The price was too high so I ordered some DIN connectors and got some thrift store cables to DIY.

I looked up the pin out (sure enough: choma and luma) and started wiring only to realize that getting the biggest and best cables I could find was a mistake. It made it almost impossible to get the jacket/butt in and the extra sleeving made soldering it all a nightmare (couldn't arrange without stripping too far). It should've been a 15-minute affair that somehow turned into several hours. After I got two cables made I tested them and found jailbars in solid-color areas of the screen (though it looked fantastically sharp otherwise). I did some more digging online and I see that the S-Video output is too strong and needs a resistor because S-Video hadn't been standardized yet. Honestly, I feel like just trashing these cables and ordering the others anyway. Doing this all over again and ending up with even shorter cables does not appeal to me.

I had to go to the local VA outpatient clinic and turn in some forms. The guy at the desk asked me where I got them from and I replied the VA. He said they use a special form and proceeded to hand me a faded out blank version of the pdf based form I'd filled out nicely and signed.

Im quite slim so when I eat and drink a lot and then look in the mirror I look visibly fatter around the midsection. I dislike this.

I have to leave my A/C'd building to the 28 C mess outside and ride the subway with fellow peasants just after rush hour.

Woke up this morning and dropped the coffee pot while getting it out to make coffee. Shards of glass everywhere. After that I realized I couldn't find my work ID nor my transit pass. Going to cost $25 to get those replaced, plus I'm out another $10 for the wallet they were in. FML.

Bought all my bulbs plus spares... now I actually have to install them and try not to break the dozen hazardous shit CFLs while doing so.

Do you look like this?

If so, it was probably me.
