What first world problem did you have today?

Google has another new Adsense template. They're stilling letting me use the old one for now but they'll probably force it on me eventually. They keep changing stuff to change stuff. It's all the same info just with different formatting...

I ran over a bunny on the way into work today. That's second fuzzy I've ever hit driving, with the other being a squirrel earlier this year :^(

I'm sorry to hear that. Squirrels I don't really have a lot of sympathy for since they seem to ask for it. I mean they literally run right in front of you. Do they think they're going to startle the car maybe? They obviously don't understand the concept of momentum or at least have trouble extrapolating. But then deer do the same thing and they have to be a little more intelligent, right? They obviously don't WANT to die so there must be some sort of furry logic to it.

The problem with squirrels is they see everything as a predator, so they try to trick the car, but the car is actually trying to avoid the squirrel, not hit it, so that results in it being hit.

I've had lot of close calls myself. Not even any time to move foot to the brakes, the most I can do is swerve slightly but by the time I reacted it's usually too late and luck is the only thing that stopped me from hitting it.

Baby chipmunks are bad too, had lot of close calls at camp with the quad.

I could not find Victor mouse traps when I bought new ones, so had to settle for some other brand. Went to solder them to my monitoring system today but they use some other type of metal and it has some kind of coating on it that makes it near impossible to solder to. I need to completely redesign my system now. The one that's currently in the attic is not working right due to too much guts and blood that has corroded the connections over time.

I might be able to have some kind of switch system where when the bar flies the other way it pulls a switch or something.

I was looking into learning Arabic instead of German as my next language then found out there's a formal and a conversational language like Cantonese.

Sigh. Guess I'll stick to German.

Need to have new ground rods driven to ground the new transformer we're installing because the existing one was apparently never grounded. My budget is slowly going out the window. I suppose 50 years ago, tying the concentric neutral to the transformer case was good enough. They were probably drunk during the install. Could explain the beer cans in the deep, dark pit that lay underneath the transformer that hasn't seen the light of day since that thing was installed.

Since I ordered Battlefield from Amazon for the 20% discount, i won't be able to pre-download it. To make matters worse the box only comes with the key, no disc. I'll have to download the whole game.

I have one of those small boogers in my nose that is attached to the side of my nose interior and a bunch of nose hairs. Impossible to get out but I want it out.

My body hurts. I'm pretty sure I have hot weather poisoning. My neck hurts, my left thigh hurts, my left hand hurts, and one of the knuckles on my right hand feels like there's something stuck in it. I'm || close to cutting it open, and seeing if I can find what's in there.

Effing debate again. Not sure what I'm missing on TV tonight but it's probably nothing.

I just read the running commentary on P&N. Much better than the debate itself.

Daaaammmn... I just bought a poverty 375 ml bottle of Kraken Black Spiced rum... 47% alcohol. But I need to do some work later so can't get wasted.

And I got carded when i bought it. Jesus Christ, I'm over 30 now. Drinking age here is like 19. I know I look young, but under 19 young? Come on.

My eyes hurt and feel so tired. I've been cramming for finals for days and took my last one this afternoon. I really want to crawl into bed and sleep all night but the debate is about to start.

Nexus Mod Manager keeps giving me grief and I dont know why.

Rx prices got jacked up again. Now I have to rebuild my spreadsheets for comparing health plans for 2017 as the Rx price increases have hosed my planning. Single payer can't come soon enough.

Found out that you're supposed to tape the terminals for AA, AAA, C, and D batteries when recycling or disposing.

I knew you had to tape 9 volt terminals because they're on the same side and easy to short. Lithium too because they can stack into a high voltage column?

Not really getting why you have to tape AA, AAA, C, and D. You'd need to connect the top to the bottom to complete the circuit assuming the wrapper isn't damaged since everything but the bottom is, I think, technically the positive terminal. Guess if you threw them into a bag of staples or paper clips or foil.

Landfill leachate serves as a salt bridge.

If they make it to the landfill, someone's disposed fire extinguisher or a bag of piss should put out the fire...

It's not my FWP, but I went to IHOP this afternoon and the lady in front of me kept complaining about her eggs. "I want them to be not runny but not firm". Over and over it went. New eggs being brought out. Then she didn't want them, so the waitress took them away. Then she called the waitress back because she did want them. Then she had to tell the waitress how she made them at home.

The waitress had a lot of patience, I'll give her that.

I went to my ortho appointment today expecting to get another run around and they actually injected my knee with a steroid to lube it and try to regen the cartilage. I have to go back in three weeks to start the gel treatment. Hopefully by then the VA will have corrected their mistake and have authorized that treatment on my other knee. This is the life I have of injections to keep on going. I wish I had a magic wand to fix myself with plus I'd fix everyone up I came into contact with.

Ran out of kitty litter liners. Those things are always hard to find because there are different sizes and my litter box must be an oddball size since it's always hard to find them that fit.

Wow... Kraken rum. This stuff is thick. Or have I just not had straight rum in a while. Looks like I'll have to get some coke -- use your imagination -- to go with this.

I had a medium container of chocolate milk today. My ears started ringing shortly after. I checked the nutritional information & saw that it was 31 grams of sugar...high, but not as bad as most sodas...until I also noticed that it was 31 grams of sugar per serving...4 servings per bottle. Yup, I just ingested 124 grams of sugar at 7am in the morning. If you need me, I will be in a sugar coma for the rest of the day.

Well just as long as you don't get the urge to strip down naked and run through the streets screaming something insane like "Donald Trump for President" we're all okay with it.
