What first world problem did you have today?

[Charmonium]

You're going to want to have healthy teeth so that when Skynet reappropriates them for their T-800 line they'll be able to show the resistance a nice, toothy smile.

I'd ask what would make that be your first thought but I'm not sure I want to know. You must be a blast doing Rorchach tests.

I just finished digging a new pitfall mole trap in the back yard and now it's raining heavy in my yard.

 

[Svnla]

A gallon of store brand (brand names are even higher) orange juice is about $4 (plus sale tax) but a gallon of gasoline is about $1.80 (sale tax included).

What's up with that?

 

[CZroe]

Thousands? In a year?

Dude.

He probably didn't eat all of the cake/cakes himself.

 

[Anubis]

Awwwww, that's sweet. Amazon sent me a product safety notice because I bought the item from them. It was cake mix recalled due to e.coli.

That was like a year ago and thousands of dumps ago.

so you shit 3x a day, every day?

 

[Ns1]

is this abnormal?

No, twas I.

I may have exaggerated my rectal performance.

Sure you didn't contract a dangerous strain of persistent e-Coli that made you go thrice daily?

I won't lie... In the past few months, I've had 4-5 days. Something about Kraft Dinner and my crap factory that doesn't agree. I kept eating it to be sure.

As an IBS sufferer, I feel your pain.


Excuse me while I poop...

 

[Anubis]

is this abnormal?

apparently not, im on the other end of normal apparently, 3x a day seems excessive

Exactly how often you poop is relative to the individual. The average individual poops about once a day, releasing around one ounce of excrement per 12 pounds of body weight, meaning that a 160-pound person will produce just under a pound of poop a day. Although once a day may be the average, that does not necessarily make it the norm.
As reported by Live Science, gastroenterologists agree that anything in the range of three times a day to three times a week is normal as long as the feces is neither too hard nor too loose.

holy shit you can go 3x a WEEK and be normal?

 

[Fulle]

We were out of ground coffee in the office, so we had to use the espresso machine.

 

[clamum]

Dude that's what I go, I think, and I'm normal as fuck.

My complaint for the day is my neck is all jacked up and hurts when I turn it too far. I think I twisted it in the shower this morning. I want sleep. But I have work another 3 hours and then on-call duty after work, so basically work another 6 hours. FML

every time EMC takes us out to lunch, the guy always orders a ton of appetizers, and then I'm never actually hungry for the entree when it arrives.

 

[Ertaz]

Had a DR appt go long. Won't have time to get back to work this afternoon. Will have to get frozen custard on the way home to celebrate.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I was at work when my wife sent me an e-mail informing me that our neighbor is sunbathing nude in her backyard (we can see into their backyard from our master bedroom).

And she's hot! FML!!!

 

[Ns1]

Jule's neighbor is sunbathing nude and asshole won't leave work to take pics.

We put some higher-capacity drives in one of the SANs at work. Because mixing drive capacities can hurt performance in certain circumstances (including ours) we are striping out and decommissioning a bunch of newly-obsolete 1TB data drives. (So basically, we're trading 72 1TB drives for 36 4TB drives in the 7200rpm tier, and 48 450GB drives for 48 900GB drives in the 10,000 rpm tier.)

We've been striping out disks for approximately three weeks now. 3 of the old disks (so far) just gave up and failed altogether due to stress.

So, how much do you have in your solid state tier?

 

[dave_the_nerd]

We don't have a solid state tier.

This is the "big dumb bucket" san - doesn't host anything performance-critical. But there is one employee-facing NAS appliance using it as a backend, so if performance takes a nosedive, that's still bad.

Our "fast" sans just use 15k drives instead. We aren't super-demanding of them, so the spindles provide sufficient IOPS. (Latency is, well, iSCSI latency. So, yeah.)

 

[shortylickens]

I poo once a day, every day, exactly 30 minutes after I get out of bed.

Aw man, would have saved me a lot of trouble during my school years if I was that regular.

We have a project at work that is flying straight into a brick wall. From day one, it was a just bad idea and never should have been launched. I have had the quilty pleasure of watching this thing catch fire on the treadmill/runway, knowing that it wasn't my project and not my problem. Today, I was assigned as project lead. Karma, it is indeed a bitch. There is still time to cut losses, abort this thing, and let it quietly burn to ashes in the dust bin of history but I fear that some upper management types have made ego investments in the project and will march us on to Stalingrad. I'm running out of metaphors for how bad this project is.
