What first world problem did you have today?

[Ns1]

My Grindr date was supposed to be home early but alas, it was not meant to be.

 

[clamum]

Had a dentist appointment today to get a temporary crown. It ended up being about 1.25 hours and now I gotta make that time up for work by working later tonight. I do get PTO, but since my idiot self used almost all of it up this year already (usually just to sleep in later and lay around like a lazy POS), I wanna save my last few days to use during Christmas time. So every minute I'm off work needs to be made up by working later that day or sometime that week. FML

Just got reminded that one of my checking accounts jacked up its minimum deposit amount (doubled). Sons of bitches took $20 from me over the past few months...

Could close the account but it'd be inconvenient, so I'm bending over and upping the balance.

-12/10. I win. What's the prize???? A leftover vegan snack???

Need to replace the bathroom faucet which will require a 1 1/8" open end wrench. Yes, I know there is a tool for that but it won't work because the nuts are barely 1/8th thick so I can't get a grip with the faucet tool. Of course I have a 1 1/16 and a 1 3/16 even a 1 1/4 but no 1 1/8. I ordered one but won't get it until Sunday.

^Imperial is a mess. I'm going to pick up a ratchet soon and need sockets and hex bits. Bits I need appear to be between 3 mm and 4 mm. Is it a 9/64 imperial bit that translates to 3.57 mm? Or did I just mess up the measurement with my cheap caliper?

No, that's right.

I was working today in the biggest stand of jewel weed I've ever seen, but it's too early for the seed pods :^(

The seed pods when ready, pop with the lightest touch, and throw the seeds a short distance. It's about 1000% better than playing with bubble wrap. Also, I hear the juice from the stem is good for poison ivy, but I haven't confirmed that. Oh, and they also have pretty yellow/orange flowers.

You can see the seed pod below the flower here...

It's not quite popalicious yet. Needs a couple more days, but a light squeeze should get it to open.

I want to buy Deus Ex, but am too lazy nor feel like playing it, so no sense in buying it yet. It's quite the problem for me today, wanting it, but yet not wanting it. Maybe a Snickers almond bar will help.

 

[IronWing]

I had a Snickers almond today. It was the right choice for me.

Just spent some $$ on a new built for work with the idea of using a VM for hanging out with you guys and watching netflix. It was a free AMD add on. Were the previous series good? And I'm not sure I can play it because scrimped on the video card...work machine, remember...

 

[highland145]

IW, I think you're a "like" whore. Not like that puffer skank but grinding them out day by day....pushing 1K before we realize it...


Or I could be wrong...it won't be the last time today. Meh...

 

[highland145]

Yo, HeXen, I don't think I can run that game. Assuming I can't, interested in the key code?...assuming...

 

[CraKaJaX]

pissed off at USPS. heading home tomorrow for my grandma & mom's birthday and had ordered some shit for them. the tracking shows:

Delay in delivery due to arrival at incorrect carrier facility
Kent, WASHINGTON, US

Delayed
Your package is still on the way, but it will arrive later than originally expected due to a transit delay.

they are claiming my package is still being delivered tonight. AFAIK, USPS doesnt deliver at fucking 9PM. sorry to the very innocent southern lady who just got a piece of my mind on the phone, but this is bullshit. time for a glass of whiskey.

 

[IronWing]

but this is bullshit. time for a glass of whiskey.

Then call her back again.

 

[highland145]

Actually saw a USPS truck dropping packages last Sunday.

That should add to the employee pension deficit, right?

Sure if it's free lol.
The previous games were pretty good, original being cult status but it's so old I find it hard to get into. I always play the stealthier approaches

Ha, just watched the trailer with my 15y.o. He's with you and I'm like..."Kill their asses. NOW"

We'll see. I doubt that you'll get Christmas early but...
The VC&G sub isn't helping. I need to see what I bought will run.

Stealther...what was the "middle age" thief game? ...20 years ago...I did enjoy that.

FedEx are the ones on my permanent pissed off list. You know that transit delay was probably due to the driver getting the munchies, stopped at Mcdonalds and then fell asleep because he was tired after playing hacky sack with your package before he kicked it into the truck to score 5 pts.

Assassin's Creed?

I'm happy to play older games. Hell, between netflix, kindle unlimited and my father in law picking up paperbacks for .10...I don't have time to play anyway.

I must need to cash in my AT likes for another 50 years so I can eff off in style, right?

 

[MongGrel]

Logged into Andandtech and noticed the interface is being borked even more. Some of the improvements were nice, now it's turning into Tom's Hardware 2.0.

Dude, don't cash out your likes; at 250 you get a trophy! I'm all about the trophies.




Except that for all the trophy points, we never get an actual trophy.

Yeah, the lifer forum is for the shits too, right? Not even 2013 Playboys without stains. puke; (damned emote)

Perk, esq, ElF, Olds, Boomer, lxs, quack, exterous, mongrel, effaspy, and 4 ton more... you'd think those guys would be low T X 4 by now.....but no. They keep pulling it like the weed eater will still start or that they have anyone that cares...
