What first world problem did you have today?

I think that you should get a giant garage for your fleet of Teslas and Mclarens! Maybe hang a giant one of these pictures on the walls:

I don't really care about owning expensive cars. I have free access to lot of exotic cars because my cousins own Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, Porsche, McLaren, etc. I've pretty much rode or driven all the really expensive cars because of my cousins. They go through expensive cars and boats like crazy. I'm actually borrowing my cousin's Lamborghini next week.

I need to get an urine sample from my cat but she does not like the special litter. Well, it's barely litter, it's a couple plastic pebbles I need to add into the empty litter box. So the fact that it's empty of sand she won't go in it. I think she's leaking pee now because she was sleeping behind me and the chair was wet... it was pee. Had to change my jeans because some of it got on me. eww.

I really hope she goes in the litter so I can get the sample and switch it back to normal before bed. I kind of feel bad since she probably had to go super badly and feels that she can't. If by end of tonight she does not go think I'll just put normal litter back in and give up on trying to get the sample. The blood work probably detected what needed to be detected anyway. Kidney issues. She's on different food now.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Ok she went in the litter box, I collected the pee, and put normal litter back in. Mission successful and she's happy to have normal litter again now.

The Starbucks app only allows you to add $25 to your Starbucks card at a time. I don't go that often so $25 is way too much. Had to go to their website and add $10 manually. Found out their mobile website just redirects you to the app so then I had to request the desktop website on my phone, which was very difficult to navigate.

Saw a 64DD pop up on eBay that was throwing a disk read error, and I figured I'd bid on it because I'd most likely be able to fix it, and that it would go for a reasonable price. End time is tonight. I was prepared to have a max bid of $350, maybe $400, since fully-working ones go for around $1k.

But I was wrong! The bids were less than $150 until Wednesday, where this happened for some strange reason:




Seems like somebody was intentionally driving up the price... Oh well. I'll keep an eye out for others.

Sorry. That was me. I wanted to see if it would fit my Warrior 64 and it doesn't have to work for determining that.

I'm having second thoughts about not spending up to $700 on it! I figure I can sell the games for a few hundred...

Apparently we have a new IT person pushing out the updates now. Our computers now go into update mode with no warnings, straight to blue screen, "Fuck whatever it was you were doing, these updates are important!"

Welcome to story of my life. They just force reboot our computers at will without any warning. Well you get a 20 minute warning, but only if you see it, because sometimes the dialog just goes under something. It's super sporadic too because we can go a month without it happening, then it will happen 3 times in one night.

At very least let us finish a shift FFS.

 

[pete6032]

Our IT will go months without updating our PCs and then one day you get the forced restart to install updates because these updates are "critical" and must be installed right away. OK, except you sat your ass on them for months before installing and now I just lost a ton of work because everything force closed and restarted while I was away from my PC.

Was looking back at of ATF NSFW posts a couple of days ago (2015 & 16). Almost all the people posting are gone. I have a sad.

Lol. Tried to get the kid's 12 from them. Easy, right? They couldn't verify the address that they have been billing me at for the last 15 years.

I tried to get my oldest son to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender (TV) with me for years and he was never interested. Then some twatwaffle he saw on Youtube said it was good and now he's watched the series like 3 times.

I've spent a bunch of time and money maintaining a 10TB Unraid server with dual parity on a dual Xeon platform with 96GB RAM. One of the uses is to serve all the movies I've collected over the decades via Plex. The wife insists on watching stuff that I own via Netflix instead of Plex. She's watching Ocean's Eleven on Netflix right now even though I own Eight, Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen.

I had to watch The Expanse in 4K HDR last night night on my 77" LG OLED. Oh the humanity of being punished in such a way.

Packed up and refunded the wife yet?

 

[BarkingGhostar]

Nope, but she didn't say no when I told her about the 55" OLED on sale for $1200 and thought about getting it for her DirecTV watching. She's hooked and watching that thing right now!

I ate so much food yesterday my back started to hurt.

 

[jpiniero]

Bought something on Amazon and they delivered to the wrong unit in the complex I live in. They even took a picture of what is obviously not my unit but I can't tell which one so it's not like I can try to retrieve it myself.

I got a letter from my CC co. saying my account would be closed in 15 days if i didn't use it by then. So guess who just ordered some music

I've only had a card with them for 20+ years, you'd think they'd know by now i don't use it a whole lot. Wonder if it's covid related & they wanted to make sure i was still alive?

I put my new set of solar jul lights on my dwarf Alberta spruce on the hill. They have a selectable flashing options, or just solid. What I'd really like is individual lights twinkling, but that doesn't seem to be an option, so I thought I set it to slow fade for sections of the string. Figured I try it out, and see what I thought. What I actually set it to was demo mode, so every so often it goes into epilepsy mode with spastic flashing, and I don't feel like going up there and playing with it tonight. Why's everything have to be so difficult?! :^/

I had the same thing happen. My wife and I have 5 CCs but only use one because of the nice cash back bonus we get. I went to the gas station with all the cards and charged $5 of gas on each one.

My boss bought me a 256GB iPhone 12 Pro in graphite, but I really wanted a green 12 mini in any size. I'll take it though.

I wish they had Christmas lights that use a basic serial standard like those addressable LED strips you can buy that have an open source protocol. Then you can program them pretty much to do whatever you want.

They do have some addressable Christmas lights you can buy but you need an app which I can almost guarantee requires some form of account and cloud crap too. FTS. I don't know why they make everything so complicated.
