It is frustratingly-stuffy in my workplace atm Tomorrow, I have to go to the courthouse for jury selection, and I know for a fact that it's nearly as stifling in the courtroom as it is here. gently caress this heat (and skimping out on the AC usage, state institutions!)

Funny enough, I bought a Mr. Coffee machine after using a French press for years. I used to be in it for the flavor but now I work weird hours and need a whole lot to get me through. I'll still buy nice beans and grind them myself but I just want it to be ready the moment I wake up.

Speaking of lovely coffee, McDonalds put cream instead of milk into my iced coffee. Now the cold cream is coating my mouth in a weird way.

The people at the McDonald's simply refused to acknowledge the existence of milk until really recently, and it drove me insane. The situation has improved -- however the exchanges have gone from Employee: What would you like? Me: Number 9, medium coffee, 3 milks, 3 sugars. Employee: *punches in 3 creams, 3 sugars* Me: [internal screaming] to Employee: What would you like? Me: Number 9, medium coffee, 3 milks, 3 sugars. Employee: Do you want milk or cream? Me: [internally "What the gently caress did I just say"-ing] Milk, please. Thanks. "Cream" and "milk" aren't even similar words, so why the gently caress should there be any confusion whatsoever?

This is the same for me, I think good coffee would be lost on me when I'm trying to chug down as much of it as possible at 4:30 am. I do still have a French press for good coffee but it doesn't get used as much. The screen protector on my phone is very slightly off center so there's a tiny bubble on the lower left hand side where it barely touches my case. It's just enough to annoy me, but not quite enough for me to take the drat thing off and try again. Also, it's a new phone so I have to re-teach it all the swear words

The WiFi in my hotel is awful. It's OK in the common breakfast room, but in my own room it can take 5 minutes to load a website.

My parents drank probably at least a pot of black coffee each every single day when I was growing up. They bought a Keurig a few years ago, and since then my mom's down to one cup a day and my dad's quit altogether. I think it's like vaping to quit smoking; substitute the real thing with a vastly inferior imitation that makes you look like a dickhead, you'll just give it up entirely after a while. I have to drink that stuff when I visit, so I guess this counts as a first world problem post.

bradzilla posted:Should've got a Keurig Get the gently caress out of here. My mom bought me one many birthdays ago because she loves hers (despite me showing her how wasteful and terrible it was). I tried my best to use it with the little filter and my own grounds but it still was hot garbage water. Eventually I put it in the common area of my building with a FREE sign. It stayed there for over a month.

The DuClaw brewery in the Southwest terminal at Logan airport seriously just hands you a Keurig pod if you ask for a coffee. They have a bagel and coffee breakfast special, and they call that a coffee. Why even offer it? If it was a flyover state it'd be one thing, but New England has no excuse. I was there last fall, and I'm still mad about it

At least they make it for you. The sadists at DuClaw expected my hungover rear end to figure it out myself.

My 2012 car is new enough to have Bluetooth, but old enough that it's only Bluetooth functionality is phone-call based. So I had to buy a small suction-cup Bluetooth speaker for my car if I want to listen to podcasts, as my phone's speaker isn't powerful enough to listen to while driving with the wind or AC making noise.

Does your car not have an aux jack? My FWP is my rental car has the most annoying loving "feature" ever made; the aux input won't play until the car has driven over 55 kph. I can listen to Cds and the radio no matter what, but if I don't hit 55 I can't use my ipod.

Fashionable Jorts posted:Does your car not have an aux jack? Yeah, it does, but I've already got a charging cord from the cig port to the on-the-glass phone-holder, I don't want another cord (or is it chord?) from the aux port to my phone. Especially since the port is under a lid of the middle-part-thing and I prefer for that to be closed. Especiallyx2 when Aux sound sucks. E: another FWP is that I'm intensely thirsty. I'm sure I'm somewhat dehydrated because I've drank a lot of water today and have barely peed.

The internal fan on my 360 is hosed and won't spin up the rest of the console itself is fine, but after a few minutes of being on it shuts down to prevent overheat damage. At least it lasted long enough for me to get the disk out of the drive. It's close enough to my birthday that I could justifiably ask for a replacement, but I could just as easily get it my drat self. (I looked into talking to Microsoft about it but they want me to pay 80 bucks to ship it to them to replace it, I could get one off Amazon for 60.) E: and before anyone says 'just take it to a computer repair place', I don't actually know where any are  I don't know where jack poo poo is in this city, because the DMV doesn't want me getting a license (due to my seizure disorder) so I never bothered memorizing what is where on which street. I'm aware this is more an issue with me than anything else.

outerpeace posted:Shut up. I refuse to believe this. The idea is that if they use coffee pods there will always be consistency with the quality / presentation of the coffee without having to have a barista on staff at all times or without having to train their waiters or kitchen staff to reliably operate an espresso machine. They take a slight reduction in quality in order to have an overall better experience for the customer. edit - further reading

2015 VW Jetta. It also has the worst cruise control I've ever seen. If you press the + or -, it adjusts your cruise speed by 10 kph. If you press and hold the + it'll rev the engine all to hell and will start going up by 1kph/second or so. The way to properly adjust the cruise control by a couple kph at a time is by pressing the RESUME and SET buttons, that have no indication that they'd do anything other than that. There's also no tow hook on the back of the car, and you have to pop off a little cover on the front bumper (with a knife, can't do it by hand) and hand-screw (with reverse threading) the tow hook into the little hole. Tl;dr don't buy a loving jetta. I've only been driving it for half a week and want to push it in front of a train.

I've been spoiled by my old phone's (S5) wireless charging system, compared to my new (S7) phone's. My old one would had a magnetic phone back that would grip a magnetic base. The grip was strong enough that I could listen to music via wired headphones and not have to worry. The S7 system? You just lay it there, hope it doesn't fall off, and the aux hole is on the bottom of the phone so using wired headphones prevents a rather secure connection. Oh, and the base has its own bright light that activates. MisterBibs has a new favorite as of 08:45 on Jun 10, 2016 |

Got some overtime yesterday and I got the option to work from home today due to that. I worked all day from home yesterday as well. The fwp is that on monday I am expected to actually show up at the office and I really do not feel like actually getting out of the pajamas for that. I am preemptively being lazy about commuting to work.

The Jehovah's Witnesses in my area have been out in full force lately. I don't want to learn about Jesus, but it's really hard to firmly say no to the sweet little old black grandmas they've got working for them. There were like five Watchtowers in my recycle bin this week.
