What first world problem did you have today?

[Red Squirrel]

Maybe try a different program. I use this...

Clock | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

Alarm, clock, timer and stopwatch mode

f-droid.org

I've only had sporadic failed alarms with other programs(none with this) that were caused by recognized bugs, and were fixed.

Going to try that one and see if it's better. The default one seems unreliable and the issue I've been facing seems common even on stock android when I search it but there doesn't seem to be a fix.

Something was eating the bird seed out of the bag. I put the bag in a storage box and the little bastardized was still getting in there and eating the seed. Whatever it is drives the dogs crazy because that is the first place they run to when we take them out at night. Had to get a sealed storage container for the seed.

Happened yesterday. Had to drive my parents to my dad's chemo appt. Parents live about an hour from me, and then another 45 mins to first his oncologist, then for radiation about 2 hours later, then finally his chemo treatment, so it was going to be a day of driving and sitting and waiting. Had my bag packed with my ipad and laptop to do some work and keep me entertained. Got about halfway to my parents when I realized I had forgotten my bag! By that time, it was too late to turn around.

We got to my dad's first appt, and I decided to see if Best Buy had the Steam deck since I'd been eyeing it anyways. Turns out you can't get Steam hardware from b&m? Anyways, I found the Lenovo Legion S 8" w/steam os, so I ordered it for pickup. With taxes it came out to about $850. I got notification pretty quickly that the order was ready for pickup, but I wasn't going to have time to run over there between his appts. After another hour of waiting, I started to get buyer's remorse and cancelled the order lol

Well at least you found something to keep you busy during part of the day.

My old deodorant finished.. and I had bought some Gilette Cool Wave earlier this year.. apparently it's turned to complete liquid!

WTF? Is it the intense heatwave we had or it's bad or what?

Make sure it's safe. People have gotten cancer from the chemicals in those.

I switched to a more natural antiperspirant a while back and it seems to work well, at least I hope... nobody has told me I smell from under the arms. Regular deodorant does nothing for me other than make me smell like chemical flowers, I need antiperspirant, but the commercial ones are horrible for you. They also stain your shirts which is annoying and gross.

I've been using deodorant crystals for almost 40 years now. They work for me, and smell like nothing. This is the brand I've been getting lately cause it has no plastic in the packaging whatsoever, but they're all same, and come from the same place(Thailand). If you don't drop and break it, it lasts >1yr

Could be worse. Could be a bunch of dumb fucking hicks. I know where I'd rather be.

I dunno...the hicks might smell better.

Same here but it's mostly my fault. I don't go out every day so packages can pile up. If I leave a bag of food out, they go straight through the cardboard packing and pig out.

I can barely remember my own name let alone package arrival dates. IOW never ask me to pick you up at the airport - which airport, was that the 11th or the 12th, and your flight is on . . . ahhhh . . . Spirit? Alaska?

OMG. That's happened to me on occasion. So always keep a stash of movies I haven't watched, on the phone. I'm fidgety enough with some distractions. Going without would be hellish.

I know that many years ago, the common wisdom was that aluminum salts were not safe. I think they were blamed for Alzheimer's for example.

I don't think it's anything to worry about so I use Mitchum rollon. One application lasts at least a few days before I even start to "moist." And no sweat, no feasting bacteria and no stink.
