Fuck me. I got my cell phone account locked because I didn't write down the log-in info for some dumb shit reason. I log in once a year to top up. Ffffffffff........

Edit: Holy shit. After checking 5 times to see if I had the PW or security question written down, I managed to guess it on the 20th try.

It is so cold outside that every time I go near an external wall I get a rush of cold air. Open the dishwasher - rush of cold air. Open my dresser and take out freezing cold clothing, open the medicine cabinet and get a whoosh of arctic chill.

That's so they can have another number to sell to the other spammers.

Hot-lanta area? We're on the supposed snow/rain line in S.C. Hope we get 2" of snow or just rain. Screw it when the weather can't make up it's mind.:p

I saw that Stanley Black & Decker bought Mastercraft or Craftsman -- Sear's tool line.

IIRC, DeWalt is owned by Black and Decker. They're buying up all the tool makers!

My YouTube earnings fell off a cliff. It happens every January for me. Guess no one buys shit in January or they blew all their ad money in November/December.

Ordered like ten pairs of cufflinks from different sellers on ebay, two months later none arrived. Asking for refund and there is a ten percent difference on Canadian dollar refunded compared to purchase price. The exchange rate barely moved in the two months.

Looking to get a gun but the process looks to take "appx 6 months" according to the gov website and requires character references, courses and fees up to yin yang. God damned NY. fml

Home of the brave and land of the free? Ha.

Around here, you can buy as much gun and ammo as you have the money as long as you pass the background check. No waiting, no extra fee, nothing.

I'm learning Power BI from MS. This is 2016, using a MS program supposedly designed for professionals, and there is no way to wrap text in this table. Wrap text, a function that notepad does without issue.

WHAT THE FUCK.

Went to buy my textbooks on Amazon for this semester. They were $200+ each if I wanted to buy, or $100 to rent. Each. Used was almost as much, even though one of them hasn't been updated since 2007.

International Editions (intended for sale in India, Bangladesh, etc.) were $18 each, so I got those instead. It's bad enough companies are importing those guys to depress wages in my field, but the publishers and handing them basically-free textbooks too? It's enough to make you wanna vote Trump.
