Ended up sorting out the password issue, but what a pain. I'm surprised it did not complain that I tried using the same password, since I just set it to what it was suppose to be in first place. Not the first time I've had this happen with various websites. It's like if their account management systems randomly forget passwords.

Last year I had a small harmless looking spider living in my bathroom. We had an agreement that he doesn't mess with me and I don't mess with him. He lived here for months without issue.

Two nights ago I see a similar looking spider and decide to not kill it because I didn't want it on my conscious right before I climb into bed. This morning I'm brushing my teeth and look up to see a bunch of baby spiders crawling along the ceiling. This wasn't in the lease agreement. :mad:

Was it a no kids/no pets policy? Any eviction notices sent out?

Busted spoke. My regular shop has always been sketchy and now never answers the phone. Gotta drive 30 min to the next shop.
Monday, wheel isn't fixed because....they have no spokes. Told to call back Wednesday. Go by today...still no spokes. Da heck 3rd world country am I living in? Got a 26" wheel in the back and I'm fixing to scavenge it.

Turns out my old place closed and she retired because she couldn't get new bikes or parts. Da heck?

Shopped at Sam's Club tonight, and was doing the self-checkout thing. I was scanning my items and then then the checkout locked up, and said "You can only buy one green bean. Please see cashier for help". Since the screen was locked, I couldn't do anything, so I had to wait for someone to come down and put in their password.

I don't think they had a limit on the sign, but maybe I just didn't notice it. They had like 900 of the Del Monte multi-packs in stock, and I guess I haven't noticed green beans being an item that was in short supply during the whole Covid mess. I've noticed many items that were hard to buy, but I guess I never saw green beans being sold out.

But we do eat a LOT of green beans with our meals as we are trying to lose weight/eat healthier, so we're not trying to hoard a year's worth of green beans. Our local Sam's stopped carrying the Sam's Choice green beans a long time ago (we actually like those better than the Del Monte kind), but I was able to order a package of those on their website and have them shipped to our house. They are like $7, so I'm sure Sam's pays more than that in shipping charges, but since we have the plus membership, it's free to us.

It would have been easier if I could have just bought two packages of them while I was there tonight, but whatevs. :p

Wheel done..$30. 36 spokes, $13 on amazon with prime. Time to watch youtube university and do it myself. I do all of the other handyman jobs at home but I know there is some skill/experience to truing but wasting/waiting a week isn't OK.

I just clicked on an alcohol page, and got challenged for my age. This isn't really a huge problem, but it pisses me the fuck off. Stupid fucking theatre. Make me click buttons like a monkey, or type in a bunch of numbers, cause I guess some random 12yr old isn't smart enough to enter a fake age. It's never too late for an abortion. If that theoretical 12yr old actually exists, the money spent coding age challenges would be better spent removing that dumbass from the gene pool before it procreates. They'll never be of any value to anyone, and the risk of them spreading their stupid around is too great a risk to take.

Well, you, Perk and I are working ourselves back into diapers.

Maybe just you and I.

This reads like something a drunk fifteen year old would write.
