As with literally any electronic purchase, wait a year. Even if they don't get cheaper, they'll at least possibly have some of their technical glitches worked out. You'll also be able to talk to people who have had one for some time, and can give better reviews than anything currently available (and see if enough good games have come out)

My gf can't bring me my christmas present because it got really busy at work, and then tomorrow she's heading out on a cruise so I have to wait another week for the gift. Dang it.

I had to pay loving $45 for my headlight to be replaced becaue I don't know how to do it myself. It's like a 10 cent light bulb, ugh. I somehow scratched up the front left bumper and a big chunk of the decorative vents or whatever underneath it are missing (broken off). I know I stupidly ran over a pile of ice/snow when parking my car but how could that do so much damage? It also kind of looks like there is white paint there but I don't remember hitting anyone? Did I black out and hit & run someone? Did someone hit & run me in a parking lot? Could a pile of icy snow really do that much damage? It is a mystery, and I can't afford to repair it so now my car looks ugly. E: I had a dream I was discussing my pedophile guitar teachers from childhood with the Van Halen guy, except he looked like the AC/DC guy? I don't know, he had puffy 80s blonde hair. It was weird. Wasn't sexual, just bizarre. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 20:51 on Jan 20, 2017 |

I guess it wasn't so much of a headache as feeling horrible pressure in my head like I had a very tight band around it and dizziness. I ate a normal breakfast today (yogurt) and didn't get that. Not psychosomatic since I know you're thinking that. My body just isn't used to the excessive sugar/caffeine.

A tie in to a post in another thread: I only recently learned of the existence of spreadable butter, having just always gotten the same sticks of butter I've always gotten. Since it's still cold out, it's actually possible to have bread and butter whenever I want now... which makes me want bread and butter a lot more than I should, nutritionally.

Leavemywife posted:How the gently caress did you not know butter was spreadable? Like I said, the kind of butter I've always purchased is the normal sticks of butter that remain comparitively solid even at room temperature unless it's summer. The kind that can tear the poo poo out of bread instead of actually spreading across the bread. I just had no idea there's butter that has some extra oil in it, or something, that keeps it softer and more spreadable. Now I do, and that knowledge makes me want to eat boring old bread-and-butter more than I should.

It's not impossible to spread regular butter straight out of the fridge. Or you can just cut slivers off and put them on the bread, then just try to eat a dry bit with a buttery bit. And it tastes better than the butter+oil mix. Better still though, you just buy the triple-churned butter that spreads easily straight from the fridge.

Thanks to a small raise earlier last year, I've had a bit more money left over after general savings + rainy day fund than I normally do, and have been putting it in me and my partner's luxury/impulse buy fund. The problem, and christ almighty is it a first world problem - is that neither of us really need anything special at the moment, at a time when we can actually afford to splurge a little. We've cooled on the Nintendo Switch, and the initial decision to buy a better TV sounds dumber and dumber when we remember we hardly use the TV, and the one we have was gifted to us when my dad bought a new TV. We've taken shopping trips to see if we could think of a something we'd both like to get, but we keep realizing we'd be wasting money. We'll prolly just do the responsible thing and roll it into savings/emergency, but man.

Eh, that's part and parcel of the (horrifically first world) problem. We enjoy dinners out (either at a fancier place, or just "gently caress it, wanna drink a lot and only feel aghast at the price of top tier alcohol the next day?") enough that we allocate to that already.

I work in yuppie central so a ton of the places to eat lunch near work are fancy and thus serve piles of seafood which means I can't eat there because of my allergies. That rules out 3/4 of the nearby places. Aside from the fact that I'm kind of tired of the places I've been visiting I've been eating waaaaay too much red meat, deep fried garbage, and fatty bar food. I should cook more stuff at home to take in to work for the microwave but

Olive Garden tonight! posted:Can't you just order... not-seafood? Does being in the same building as a lobster set off your allergies? Cross-contamination is a thing. It really depends on the place and what they're serving. If a place just serves fish I don't have much issue unless they serve a lot of it. Shellfish gives me serious issues. However, being in yuppie town every place that serves seafood invariably serves a ton of shellfish. There's a Thai place I went to with the guys I work with that was phenomenal but despite being all "I have allergies" and not ordering fish everything they cooked was so contaminated with fish that the food gave me a reaction and made me sick all day. The big problem is the shellfish, though; yeah most of the time I'll be fine if I just don't order it but I've gone into anaphylactic shock twice in my life so far. I don't care to do it again. When I worked in a restaurant I couldn't work Fridays during Lent because I'd start reacting to the air in the place. Food allergies are a tremendous, awful pain.

My iPhone keeps forgetting my wifi somehow so it just goes into LTE when IM AT HOME. So I have to --sometimes multiple times a day-- have to retype in my long-rear end password. It seems to happen the most when I leave the apartment and come back. Shouldn't you save this info in your data, iPhone?
