What first world problem did you have today?

[Red Squirrel]

There's pokemon here at work so every now and then I get one. I just realized I'm down to 4 pokeballs and there are no pokestops nearby that I can just quickly go walk to.

I think I want a dash cam just in case like yours. Tell me more about your dash cam (model, brand, price, specs, pros, cons, etc.).

I'm using a geekpro 3 wifi which is a gopro clone that I got from amazon. The picture is fine but the audio is weak which is okay since the video of someone commiting an act of stupidity is the evidence you need. Later on I wan to mount a gopro in the front and rear to capture things just in case I get rear ended while I'm stopped. I've seen too many of those videos on youtube and the cameras were priceless in providing evidence.

Thought I only had a few more CFL bulbs to dispose of, suddenly a new stash shows up.

 

[Bardock]

Not having high speed internet available at my house. Can't play online games or download or stream but at least its really expensive what I do have (3g unlimited data). Some places in the third world, Rwanda for example have faster average national download speed then my isp in USA. I can try to assume liability on someone's unlimited 4g plan, but most want over $750 for the privilege, plus monthly cost, no refund if it doesn't work. Also my wireless mouse usb receiver fell apart within a week of use, and the metal part that plugs into the port got stock in there. I had to use tweezers to get it out and this comp only has two usb ports (a 2.0 and 3.0). Also I have two cds stuck in my cd player in my car for about a year or two. The head unit came with flat head screws that I didnt use because I didnt see them and the screws I did use got the unit stuck in there, so I can't play cd's. It has an aux for a mic cable to my phone which is what I use but still, wtf first world? Also I paid a bill on the day it was due and they counted it late, paid it on 10am that morning, my first late payment ever. Someone is trying to phish people at my work in the guise of me through text and emails. My car is old and gets 18 mpg premium gas. It's fun to drive but insurance and gas are killing me, it's over 50% of my spending is on my car.

Those darn verification numbers (captcha and other systems) are hard to read, especially the 0 and 8.

Because iOS and Windows can't share clipboards without jumping through crazy hoops I had manually type the URL I got from the IMGUR app after taking a picture with my phone, uploading it, copying the URL, pasting in my browser, and tapping in the address bar again. Sure enough, it was a case-sensitive URL with a generated file name and mobile Safari stupidly uses a font that does not distinguish between upper-case i and lower-case L. If he's really so focused on getting the iOS and associated app typefaces *just right* and he can't figure this part out, Jonny Ives should be escorted off the premed is and terminated. He sucks at UI.

While I was driving home today I had an idiot in a minivan cut me off pulling up to a red light even though they had a mile to make up their minds with a clear road. She waited until we got up to the light to just come on over on me. I did capture the event on my dash cam and really should post it on YouTube.

There's a very good reason why a driver might do that once it's clear they aren't going to make the light. If you don't know why it's probably you who shouldn't be on the road.

Had to double-check the threat title:

Yes, you are definitely in the wrong thread.

I tried to share a Game Boy Advance SP disassembly tip ~13 years ago and it never gained traction. I shared it a few times since including on a YouTube comment a year and a half ago. Suddenly, it catches on and I get a reply from someone confirming it works great and I get several thumbs up/+1s. Now I see it a similar video where the author repeated my tip word-for-word in the comments section. I wanted it to be common knowledge so I'm glad to see it's finally spreading but it is kind of irksome that he copied it word for word while deliberately excluding any hint that they were someone else's words.

People like you and her are why insurance rates are so high.

 

[CZroe]

Nope. Looks like we have a clueless driver who is unable to see what those around him might do while he might carelessly approach a red light without paying attention to the left lane! Who's raising insurance rates again?

You're supposed to be expecting the unexpected. Expecting the expected, like in this situation, is a given. Complaining about what should be expected and thinking it's video-worthy without even understanding what was going on is a scary level of cluelessness for a driver to have.

I bet you cluelessly cruise in people's blind spots too because it's a similar level of cluelessness.

Sorry. Just being brutally honest here.

 

[Puffnstuff]

My law enforcement experience allowed me to avoid the collision when she unexpectedly with no signal darted into my lane. I am trained in high speed driving by the federal government and you obviously are ignorant of traffic laws and respectful driving and the legal use of mirrors and turn signals in addition to a legal concept called right of way.

 

[Puffnstuff]

BTW CZroe I LMAO when I see YouTube videos of people like you wrapped up around a telephone pole so you can't bother the decent people driving on the road.

It was unexpected because you are ignorant of why she did it. Not using a signal is an entirely different problem that you only just now mentioned, which tells me a lot about how much importance YOU think signaling has. I think it's very important and seeing people turn or change lanes without it is my PRIMARY complaint when I drive. Your failure to communicate a broken law until this point does not reflect my ignorance of the law, it reflects either your inability to communicate the real problem OR your pathetic attempt to reframe it after I called you out.

Brutally honest.

"People like me?" Did I say anything at all to indicate how I drive? No. I challenged you to demonstrate an understanding of why the driver might do that and why you should expect it when approaching a stop light in that manner. You STILL have not demonstrated this understanding, so we can only assume your continued ignorance of what that driver was likely doing. Care to venture a guess before I spoil it?

It's cute that you got defensive and went off on a tangent before you even considered addressing it. Now I'm really curious about the footage because I want to see if she really didn't use her turn signal!

 

[Puffnstuff]

I know your kind, people who like to instigate problems as it makes them feel better about themselves to attack others. I feel sorry for you really and hope that you get some help before it's too late.

PS: Can you please tell us where you live and what you drive so we call all be alert for you on the roadway?

 

[shortylickens]

Flossed for the first time in weeks.
Blood all over the fucking bathroom.
I may need to move out and find a new house.

Go on telling yourself that BS. I'm being brutally honest because you need to understand how serious that kind of obliviousness can be on the road so that it will affect how you approach, observe, and think about everything else in life.

By challenging you to answer the question I'm blatantly trying to force you to step back and analyze because it's the best way for you to learn and remember. Instead, you still chose to be defensive and refuse to even speculate on the circumstances that you should have been aware of from the start.

The fact that you're still resorting to personal attacks after I pointed out that you had never discussed the turn signal is just shameful.

OK, now tell me: what are the left lanes for?

Another day, another no package from Amazon. It's 99% probably the problem of clearing customs -- can take 4-6 weeks, only on week 3.5.

However, Amazon no longer allows me to track the package. If it doesn't get here in 2 weeks, I will ask for a refund, hope they don't ask why I didn't say anything sooner.

 

[Puffnstuff]

That's unusual for amazon to not offer package tracking. Perhaps you should contact customer service and ask them about it. I had a third party seller swear they shipped a package when they didn't so I filed an A-Z complaint and Amazon immediately refunded my money to me.

 

[Puffnstuff]

I suppose that everyone here who is victimized is at fault right?

 

[shortylickens]

Got a tooth removed about 2 months ago.
Today after some Thai food I noticed a pain in the jawbone right there, looks like a jagged piece of bone was poking thru.
Doctor removed it. Blood everywhere. Not fun.
Turns out when I was flossing I had actually cut some tissue open and forced the bone to punch right through the skin.

Had a few dry runs installing AVG on a new computer. The license key wouldn't frikkin work! Kept downloading/installing but no luck.

Finally, instead of silently ignoring me, a error message popped up saying the key was "incomplete." WTH? Now I'd copied it directly from the About dialog so I "knew" I'd gotten the entire key. Nevertheless I clicked the Help icon in the error message. Help opens and informs me AVG DOESN'T LIST THE ENTIRE LICENSE KEY in the AVG software for security reasons, and directed me to refer to the email sent at time of purchase with license key embedded.
So I find the old email with the entire key in it and see I'm missing the last 4 digits.


No prob, I plug in the last digits and it activates just fine. Finally.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Glad to hear you got your email sorted out. You really should print that rascal out and tuck it away just in case you need it again. On another note I might have figured out what is wrong with CZroe today and his attacks on myself. Judging by his over 21k posts on this forum he only has 4 likes. What does that say about his character?

...that forum likes only just got started two weeks ago (so my time here is irrelevant) and I haven't even ventured into the new forum yet (don't even know what it looks like thanks to Tapatalk), [much less participated in your pathetic Like-boosting shenanigans].

Try again.

Stop beating around the bush and explain why you might need to watch vehicles in the left lane when slowing to stop at a red light.

Yep, the license key is printed out now. Probably won't need it until this new pc gets replaced ... in 6 years maybe. Of course Avast bought AVG so who knows how that will play out. I almost didn't install AVG because of the EULA. Basically you consent to automatic updates without your approval and forfeit any right to partake in class action litigation against AVG. :eyeroll:

What it says is that you're a dickhead. Granted I'm quite a surly SOB but I own it. See sig.

531 likes already? 2 weeks? Did you pay for those or suck your way into them.
