Nah he hooks all of us up with stuff. I'd hate if he sees this, but him and my direct boss are actually pretty cool guys.
The people in my department are pretty lucky.

I was trimming up a piece of plywood on the table saw, which I'm using to build some shelving. As I was getting to the end of the cut, I started getting a ton of resistance and I thought, "Oh shit, this isn't good. I should probably just stop." But I kept pushing it through until it turned itself into the blade and kicked back. Luckily, I was standing out of the way, and it didn't mess up the cut (although one side of the plywood has a gash, it won't visible).
As soon as I turned off the table saw, I realized that I forgot to attach the riving knife.
Won't be doing that again!

I picked up several sets of these last year after x-mas:
Show Home App 24-Light LED multicolor C9 Light-W10I0107 - The Home Depot
Create brilliant scenes in your home, wedding or holiday event with the selection of this amazing Show Home App 24-Light LED Multi-Color C9 Light.
www.homedepot.com
I think I paid $12/set instead of the almost $50 price.
The app is a pita to get to work right, but once you get it set, they work pretty well.

Table saws are a good way to accidentally get rid of some excess fingers.
Roofers are workin on the house next door. They were working on thanksgiving.. Yesterday I got home from shopping and they had thrown my lawn furniture all over my yard and left roofing material all over the place. Today I heard some banging and went out and they were dumping roofing material on my grill and my traeger....I feel kind of bad but I gave them an earful. I'm going to post on yelp about this shit with pics..

Reading your first line, my immediate thought was "uh oh, Karen mode activated".
But yeah, I'd be super pissed to come home and find anyone on my property, especially moving my stuff or throwing building materials onto it (be sure to watch out for hidden roofing nails in your yard, because they likely didn't care about that aspect).
Do you live in a condo or townhouse? Because if it's a regular house with property lines, I'd likely call the police to file a report and make the crew take that magnet tool to the entire area they were throwing shingles. Trust me, roofing nails are not fun to step on.

I live in a house. I was a roofer and I understand how things work. I understand it got to be a pain in the ass. My neighbors house is maybe 3 feet off the property line. These people didn't even knock on my door. The shit will be cleaned up. I'm not gonna call the cops. I will fuck with em online though. I guess it depends on how they leave shit when they are done.

The last time I had a neighbor behind me (about 2 years ago), someone in the neighborhood called the police to report someone was shooting a gun.
Of course with how the land is laid out, the roofing nail guns sounded like it was coming from my back yard. I just had a pizza delivered after working inside the house, and while making my plate I saw a sheriff slowly walking down my driveway. I opened the door to see what he wanted, and he said he was responding to a report of someone shooting a gun. I told him that my kids and I had been inside all day, so it wasn't us. Of course with me be heavily tattooed, I don't think he bought the story and asked if he could look in my backyard. I told him I had to unlock my gate with keys from my house and so we started to both walk back there. He didn't have his gun drawn at any point, but he was walking with his hand near it the whole time. At that point, the roofers must have finished their break and they began using the nailing guns again. He realized what the sound was, called in to report it was roofers, and thanked me for my be cooperative. When I went back inside, my pizza was now lukewarm. So F the police.

My home security wireless camera system is acting up and now I have to check whether it was the hardware or software problem. I went to pick up some new face masks and there were so many color/pattern that it took a while to pick the one I like.

Cat puked in my bed again, I woke up slightly too late to the sound and she had already done most of it on the bed by the time I threw her off. Fucking asshole cat. She's been puking all day. Every time I think it's over, it starts back again.

I sometimes think of that. I just need to "accidentally" leave the door open. Plenty of other cats at the shelter that need a home. I think at the end I would feel super terrible though... I love her... but when she's in her puky mood I equally hate her lol.

Bought a new Android 10 phone during Black Fri but it's USB-C.
my 1st usb-C item.
now i gotta spend $25 on a set of 6 (various sizes) Anker USB-C cables because those cheap $1 ebay cables dont hold a stable connection to my computer to xfer files.
ATOTer would get a whole new machine with type c. Who are you and what have you done with our beloved JEDI?

um.. i still need to spend $25 for the usb-c cables since i have none.
a new computer would just mean usb-c to usb-c cables instead of usb-A to usb-c

How many cables do you need? Monoprice has decent (IMO better than Anker) cables for <$10.

Went to McDonalds & Best Buy. McDonalds had outdoor vertical TV screens for the drive-thru menus. Except it had crashed (browser issue). Best Buy had fridges with vertical touchscreens in them. Had also crashed, but with a security certificate error. Made me chuckle!

Wait what? You bought a phone that doesn't come with a charger and charging cable?

Going to take my airpods pro to Apple today to convince them they are total garbage. They just announced a recall of sorts that addresses the problems I've been having.
Hopefully they just replace them and don't give me BS. I always feel dumb reaching out to them for help.
