GARVASE DAY!

This is a duuuumb one.

For every app or game I open on my mac but one, I can get to it by pressing CMD+Space and typing the first, like, two letters. Quick and lazy. But one emulator of mine crashes if you open it, then open the game with it (as opposed to opening the game from finder with that emulator associated with it), so I have to go find it and open it and it takes longer than literally half a second. :saddowns:

Call them and ask them to raise it, they probably will. I did that with a card once for a similar amount and they raised it to $7000 because gently caress it.


My fwp is a restaurant I go to like once every month or two has stopped using any size drink except large, and their large comes in a hard plastic cup, the kind you keep and can run through the dishwasher and such. I had to start another stack of these. I have too many cups.

This is beginning to be my FWP as well. A radio show I listen to does a lot of remotes, and part of the free swag you can pick up are glasses emblazoned with the radio show's title. Solidly made, so every time I go to one I grab one (or, sometimes, told to take one by the staff because they want less to drag back with them).

Problem is, they've been coming near me a lot lately, so it turns out I've got, maybe, half a dozen (plus or minus a few) of these, and I already have a decently stocked cup cabinet.

It's a pretty new card and my credit is bad enough that I was shocked I qualified in the first place. My limit will go up to $1,500 in August, at which point I will bitch that my limit isn't high enough for me to collect rewards on my rent.

I'm switching between Adblock plus and Ublock Origin as my ad blocker on Chrome. Both of them causes Youtube to gently caress up. On almost every Youtube page it will completely freeze for 10-12 seconds. The only way to get it to stop is to disable ad blocking or to log out of Youtube. It must be something to do with loading user info.

I'm really annoyed with micro-USB, because I have tons of mini-USB cables that I no longer have any use for and a bunch of devices that use micro-USB that no longer connect properly to my computers. It seems like mini-USB was way more reliable, and I now have a bunch of cables I can't use for anything.

The seats here are really uncomfortable to sit on for long periods of time. Also some shithead lady took a photo while the people were singing, which I feel is exceptionally rude. How do people not know that you don't take photographs during stage shows like ballet or opera?

I'll be moving house at the end of May into a freshly built house with everything that I picked out for it (including a massive bath with jets) and I can't wait to live there. It'll even save me over $1000 a month. But gently caress if I don't hate moving with a passion! It's only 6km away from where I'm living now, so not far enough away to justify hiring movers.

Hire movers. If you don't you will hate yourself and it will be way more work than you initially think it's going to be.

I don't understand why the different Amazon sites exist. What's the point? It keeps telling me I can switch to amazon.com.au and I just don't know why I would want to do that or why that site even needs to exist. I have a few friends in the UK and sometimes they post links to Amazon on Facebook, and several times I've been confused as to why I couldn't buy the ebook they were talking about until I realise the link they posted is to amazon.co.uk and for some reason that's an issue. I have to go to amazon.com or amazon.com.au and manually search for the book to buy it.

Also, with those affiliate links where people get money if you click and buy something, how do those work with the different Amazon sites? If I click my friends amazon.co.uk affiliate link and then proceed to buy the book he recommended from amazon.com, does he get anything for that? How does that work? It all seems needlessly and annoyingly complicated.

How does any of that need separate sites? I can already order stuff from amazon.com to an Australian address no problem. And I don't care if they show me different content based on my location, I just don't understand why they need separate sites that don't work if you go to the wrong one. Other sites manage to show country-specific prices and content without all that inconvenience. Like, if I send someone a link to a game on Steam, they'll see the correct price for their country (or no price if it's not for sale there) and the correct version too if there's a censorship issue. Even with Amazon, if I search amazon.com for an ebook that's not available in Australia, it won't show up in my search results. So what's the point of amazon.com.au?

The doc I've been seeing for the last few years decided to not practice medicine as a regular doc, and now only works urgent care. I did not find this out until today when I called to make my appt.

I'm going to run out of pills about 3 days before my appt to go get a refill of my meds. I left a message with the clinic but they haven't called me back about it.

- The plastic key fob that gets me into my new gym clanks against my other keys rather loudly. I think its cuz it's basically hollow inside (minus whatever tech, of course) that makes it resonate more, but it's going to take some getting used to.

- I really wanted to try said new gym's water-massage machine after my workout tonight (mostly out of curiosity) but someone was in it and didn't want to wait any longer than I did.
