What first world problem did you have today?

[KeithTalent]

Google officially got rid of the classic version of Google Maps, so you can't switch back to it any more. This marks the end of street view for Linux. Now I actually have to look at addresses when I want to go to somewhere I'm not too sure where it is, instead of checking it on street view first to find out what the building looks like.

Have to pickup a package tomorrow and it's at some really obscure location.

Happy birthday bro.

If you were using the ?output=classic before to force the classic view, just use a typo/gibberish now for the value.

so, https://www.google.com/maps?output=classic is now fixed to redirect to new version, but https://www.google.com/maps?output=blahblah will still keep you on the classic version

Street View doesn't even work in Chrome for Linux?

Happy birthday bro.

Thx. I'm getting old. 29 today. 30 in a year from now. Insane. Where has time gone? I feel like I need to have a family with like 3 kids by 30, but I'm not even interested in that. I feel more like 20 TBH.

Nice to know! Not sure how long they'll keep that though.

Don't have chrome to try, not a fan of big brother type stuff, rather not even install it.

All the bags of rainbow carrots at the market had too many orange carrots.

Everybody is stalking me and harassing me in a coordinated way because...I don't know. They're bored or something.

Someone parked in my spot. I blocked them in. They drove their precious X3 up on the grass of the common area.

Some how I will be getting punished for it. Either I'll pay for the grass or get a penalty point with the HOA or get yelled at by everybody.

.....Is this apartment parking? Street parking?

Can't update my AT&T S6 Edge without WiFi.. WiFi at home is 5x slower than 4G. Ugh.

Thai street food place was too packed for lunch today, so we had to go to the Indonesian place 3 doors down.

blech.

 

[nageov3t]

can't install Sim City 4 on my laptop because the hardware is too new

trying to talk myself into buying Cities: Skylines, but I worry that my laptop won't be able to support it since it's got a crappy processor, and I have to play with a trackpad (nowhere to put a mouse while I'm laid up in bed)

Waited this morning for the cook to serve me breakfast. Then I realized that I was too poor to have my own cook. Finally I made my own lunch, because so much time went by before I figured all this out.

I learned that lesson once. I think they were members of a gang. Maybe I got off cheap. :whiste:

Tight row of townhomes with assigned parking.

Having been bullied for most of my life, I'm more inclined to shoot gang members than run from them.

But thats not the case here.
It was a spoiled self-centered middle-aged white male with too much money. He just needed to be taken down a peg.
But since he was too cowardly to come and ask me to move my car, he just went ahead and drove over public property, keeping in line with his selfishness.

 

[Puppies04]

Guy called from mercedes to say he had found a car in stock that matched my preferred spec. It doesn't have satnav so now I have to decide if I want to wait 8 weeks for a new car to be ordered or buy that car and go find a satnav module to plug into the glovebox. FML.

Oh also the leather is in the wrong shade of grey....

 

[midwestfisherman]

Reading all of these horrendous first world problems, I forgot about mine!

Ah, but in my case this was an 18-23 yo. He and his buddies, who didn't live there, took up 12 of the 18 spaces that night, as they had been once or twice a week for over 2 months. Unlike you I stayed in my car waiting for him to ask me to move. He and a friend just laughed and drove off. I was told that they were attending a religious ceremony. All males and only after dark in a 4 room apartment. One of my dumber moves in life looking back on it, that didn't cause me to end up in the emergency room.

 

[shortylickens]

Well, shit.

Glad yur still with us.

finally received package via usps that I was supposed to get a week ago.

I spent a half hour looking for my sugar to make hummingbird food before I remembered I put it in a different container. I bought it last year for the hummingbirds, but never put a feeder up. I must have switched containers on Thanksgiving when I made cranberry sauce. I don't otherwise use sugar.

 

[Mixolydian]

I don't otherwise use sugar.

what are you some kind of a nut?
