What first world problem did you have today?

[sdifox]

I have a pull out spice rack cabinet. The screws attaching the face to the rack have loosened but the morons that installed them used a screw head bigger than the hole, so I cannot tighten them. Cannot find any video on how to pull the drawer out of the cabinet as well since I don't see any obvious latch I can press. They came with the house so it's not like I know who to call.

fucking idiots and their must hide everything crap.

Go to the butcher shop to get 3 sirloins, 1" thick. I'm thinking about the size of my hand...7lbs later 😮 Who's coming for dinner?

I am interested only in the sirloin steaks, not your prolapse.

Keep telling yourself that.


That drawer doesn't lift up and then out?

no, it is attached to slide out with screw but I can only get to two of the screws tgat attaches tge frame to the skide out rail unless I figure out how to slide it off completely. Fucking stupid design is what it is.

Is there a gap in the rail to insert a screwdriver when the drawer in partially out?

yes, but it is not lined up, and I think they used a screw head that is too big

 

[IronWing]

Would an offset screwdriver reach?

not when it is covered lol, access is not the issue.

Have you tried pulling on the drawer like super hard?

I prefer not to break the plastic parts in it. For now I used 2 zip ties to hold it in place. one is too short. the racks are just hanging on the frame so I can remove them easily. No idea why they have to make it complicated.

I tried configuring a site blocking tool to block me from accidentally going into the cesspool that is our P&N forum, but it seems that all the forum notification links go to https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/randomthreadname.

While I can block the direct link to the P&N forum, I can't block https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/* without breaking the rest of the site

Has anyone else come up with a good workaround for this? I try to stay out of that forum whenever possible, but the moderators occasionally move ATOT content there, and then I get notifications for it.

I noticed that I keep getting "My Apple Account is locked" notifications when I try to log iCloud or Apple TV with my Windows 10 PC. I then have to break out an Apple device to go through the unlock process. This never happens when I log in on any of my Apple devices... I think that Apple is punishing me for daring to use a competing product with their service

I posted a question on a tech forum. The first person to respond is an idiot. Now the conversation is about the idiot's idiotic response instead of addressing my question.

Obviously you didn't post here because threads never de-evolve like that around here.

Sirloin? Why? Can't you afford GOOD steak?
Sirloinis fine for things like cutting up for stew meat...but that's about it.
Bro...are you poor? Do you even lift?



edit...OK, you were planning to fuck it up. Now it makes more sense. Why ruin a good piece of meat?
