What first world problem did you have today?

[shortylickens]

Lost my Unreal Anthology box which means I dont have the disc or the code.

If I had the disc I could probably steal a code from somewhere.
If I had the code I could probably enter it on Steam and get the games.

GOG wants a crapload of money for the individual titles.
Steam wants to sell me a bundle that includes UT 3 which I dont even want.

 

[shortylickens]

Well, the good news is UT2004 is just a much fun as I remember.

Want the new 3DS but it doesn't even come with a charger. I have one with my regular 3DS, but I'll likely need to sell the charger along with it after I complete the transfer. Near as I can tell I'm going to have to pay for a new charger. God damnit, Nintendo.

I'm hungry for lunch but it's only 11:15. :|

Going to Grenville SC next week and googling all kinds of things to do and attractions but nothing is leaping out at me.

My showerhead broke near the end of the shower. It was like 10 years old... Finally croaked when I turned the notch to change the flow. Instead of getting stuck, it decided to almost completely stop floating. Had to finish using the faucet near the bottom... Now I know how third-world people shower?

Some jerk in a forum (which shall remain unnamed) sent me a pm instead of replying to me in thread.

Solution I just deleted it without opening it.

Gotta go buy a shower head and might get rained on... and I'm out $25.

I want to get a metal shower head but I've always been told not to because they'll scratch/crack the tub.

Just after the new one launched, my brother found a way to get chargers direct from Nintendo for cheap and bought a bunch. I don't know if that still works...

UT2k4 is one of the best games ever made. It easily makes my top five in general. It's the only mp game I really played, so I can't rank it amongst other mp games.

Check store.nintendo.com for $5 refurbs. I called and complained about the policy and got a "new" one sent to me for free (turned out to be a refurb also). They have always done his crap in Japan (Super Famicom expected you to use your Famicom AC adapter) and they tested the waters in Europe with the old 3DS XL. We have to let them know that we will not tolerate this nickel-and-dime scam.

Not sure what you are into, but downtown has a lot of great bars and restaurants that are all walking distance on a long Main Street. The local "farm team" sucks, but the stadium is fun and nestled on one end of the downtown Main Street.

I want to get some MREs, but don't want to deal with ebay. Amazon has cases past the inspection date(but probably still good). Then there's crappy civilian versions, and random shady websites. Trying to decide how bad I want them. ~$80/12 for old field food is kind of a lot of money.

That shit is expensive. The surplus MREs are kinda scary looking, all appear to be from third-party sellers where I am. The civie/camping freeze-fried food is about $10/meal. Wonder if Kraft dinner lasts 12 years though...


Also, bought my new $20 shower head... Wal-mart only had a few plastic versions with hoses in stock. I got the second cheapest one. Hope running the water for a minute was long enough -- first blast of water was grey. Otherwise, I took a shower with a lot of nasty shit.

Doesn't look like they have genuine military rations. They're either partial packs, come with dollar store accessories, and/or don't have heaters. I could build my own ration packs, but that's what I do anyway. I call it lunch :^D

I like the military packs cause they're self contained, and I'm familiar with what they have. They range from adequate-delicious except for the omelette. Whoever developed that and deemed it acceptable should be waterboarded.

Find a cute Army girl. Preferably a quartermaster

Not sure about that, but companies that still use clamshell packaging should... Almost fucked up my hand, scraped it a few times, trying to open my damn shower head.

I've had this shelf tree for shower for years and never got around to putting it together. It's sort of like this but imagine the shelves on an enameled metal pole - adjustable up and down and they can swing side to side.

I go to put it on the tub ledge and it's way too long. Take out the adjustment section that's about 2ft. Still too long. What to do.

Had to get out the Dremel with and abrasive wheel attachment and try to cut it to size. It wasn't a neat cut so I had to grind it down. Should have used my pipe cutter but for some reason I had this notion that it was only for copper piping.

Anyway, showed that sucker who wields the power tools 'round here. BTW, always wear goggles with any power tool, even a Dremel. I had some reading glasses on and I still almost got a shaving in my eye.

I would buy refurbs from nintendo but by the time they get around charging tax AND shipping you almost might better buy new off Amazon. Or are you saying to forget their online store and just call up Nintendo to complain about the no AC adapter policy?

I'm saying to do both because it doesn't hurt to have extras. I ordered a lot of other stuff and I don't recall a shipping charge (as I recall, the rest of my order was $25 Wii Fit U with Balance Board and Fit Meter, $40 expanded capacity Wii U tablet battery, $3 replacement 3DS stylus).

The problem with Amazon is that the vast majority are counterfeit and every bit as dangerous as the counterfeit Apple chargers.

Speaking of counterfeit Apple chargers: some jack hole mixed their up with mine and I didn't know until the prongs pulled right out yesterday.

Everyone was out of stock of the legit DSi/DSiXL/2DS/3DS/3DSXL/New 3DS/New 3DSXL/Wii Remote Battery Pack charger when the New 3DS XL launched last year, so that was another reason to get them directly from Nintendo.

I figured I'd actually buy a digital video from Amazon.
Checking the specifics....nope, you can't download a video to a PC.


Rental or discs it is then. Still.

Ate too much for breakfast. Had pumpkin spice pancake mix, and there was more than I usually eat, but not enough to save, so I made an extra large portion, and now feel bloated :^(

 

[lxskllr]

It a banner morning. Two fwps in an hour. Cut my finger shaving. Was checking around my beard, and the blade got away from me. At least it was my left hand :^S

 

[Imp]

Gotta wait a few days for my shower shut-off valve to arrive -- finally bothered to read the label and 2.5 gpm is a shit ton of water considering I take 20 minute showers often when shaving. Oh, and I think I left the old shower head's washer in the pipe -- hope it doesn't explode?
