We are out of AA batteries, and I discovered this as I was setting up my new wireless keyboard. We do have a box of AA batteries marked OLD, and asking why we didn't throw them away led to an argument with my mom, who says throwing batteries in the garbage can will start a fire (so they won't start a fire inside?). I'm not officially the gamemaster of our rpg group, but I do tend to make most of the plays up (one of the other players tried and kept screwing up exactly what two characters were there for. Were they sent there, or were they really loyal to the empire, and the bad playmoves from it almost ended the group because she couldn't keep the story straight) and I'm at a dead end for new ideas. Nothing but a geek FWP because we are playing a pretty good game now, and there's at least two more that the others really want to do, but I've never had issues coming up with new games before. Ten years in and now I feel like Stephen King going hmmm.....no, used that idea, nope, did that, what about a possessed, um, turkey baster? Said player from above wants to try some Harry Potter stuff next, and while I am generally okay with the idea, I foresee it as nothing but problems.

Nespresso isn't that bad but it's not great either. It just is. It blows my mind that fancy restaurants serve Nespresso for like $7.

FWP: as an Italian, I get  thoughts whenever someone tries passing Nespresso as good coffee. Get a proper espresso machine and learn to use it, and then we'll talk.

I should go to bed, but I'm really not tired. I want to go out for a smoke and a coffee, but that would require getting dressed and leaving the house. I could be getting things done right now since I'm not going to sleep anyway, but I'll probably just end up sitting here like a lazy goon instead.

In their efforts to put in new "more secure" Wi-Fi at my office, the Wi-Fi has been out for the last 24 hours and I'm bored and want to watch LPs but don't want to burn through a bunch of data and battery to do it.

I still haven't quite adjusted to being a white collar knowledge worker. I'm a competent programmer so my skills are in super high demand and "know things" is part of my job. Things like "leave early to go home and read a tech manual" or "spend a week just futzing with this new thing we implemented" are totally ok things to do but after 4 years of retail I expect to be fired at the drop of a hat. Sometimes I just sit in my box and read things but I always feel guilty when I do even though it's literally a part of my job.

Kelp Me! posted:I'm pretty sure that's the legal equivalent of ordering prescription drugs online from a country where they're over-the-counter and shipping them to the US though. Wait I can get a NSAID thats OTC everywhere except the US where it's prescription only? A completely harmless painkiller? And I don't have to go to my doctor who will question me?  I worked hard today in an art project and I think I finished it but my back is in the worst pain ever, its so bad its radiating throughout my core because I was bending over for 12 hours. I took 800mg ibuprofen, which did nothing. Now if I had aforementioned drug, I would be fine. I also spent ~150$. But it's pretty! But expensive and painful.

Re: contact lens chat, after hundreds of dollars and five months of eye doctor visits, I am now wearing a hard lens over a soft lens on one eye because I have a weird degenerative eyeball. But I can see a lot better now. And my floors are suddenly filthy because I can see all the bits of fuzz and whatnot. Improved vision is a blessing and a curse.

Tiggum posted:It doesn't redirect you, but why the gently caress are there all the different local versions of Amazon? If someone in the UK sends me a link to a game on Steam, I see the Australian version (if applicable) and can buy it if I want. If they send me an Amazon link I see the UK site and the price in pounds and have to go find the product again if I want to buy it. I never switched my account from .com to .com.au because I don't understand why that's even a thing and I hate it. Just switch the domain and you're fine. Amazon pages have addresses like Amazon.com/xx/xxxxxx where xxxx is a bunch of letters and numbers, everything that comes after that can be omitted so cut it out. Then change the address from .com to .com.au and, if the product is available on the Australian site, it'll take you to it. Still annoying, but a little bit less annoying. Related FWP: if you have Prime on one of the Amazon sites, you don't have it on any of the others. Like, I have Prime on .it, but if the thing I want is only available on .co.uk I'm SOL.

I have, like, £130 less than I thought. I still have plenty unbudgeted for emergencies and things, but through some recent transfers I just realised a large chunk on money went somewhere a long time ago and I have no idea what happened. I can only assume I forgot some spending I did from the secondary account that I just noticed but it's fairly annoying.

Where I work we have the news going all day. It's a weird requirement but whatever. A co-worker of mine is a little off but we get along despite our many differences. I've started to notice that any time a woman anchor is about to start their segment he will switch it over to something else. If he's in control, I never get to watch Erin Burnett or Rachel Maddow. If I call him out it will be very awkward.

I went out to eat with some friends earlier, but I wasn't very hungry so I got most of my food to go. About halfway home I realized I left the box on the table. Now I'm disappointed because I was going to have it for lunch tomorrow, and annoyed at myself for forgetting about it and wasting money. My husband tried to cheer me up by pointing out that he brought something home for me earlier, but that's not the point, dammit.

I'm really busy with uni work and don't want to spend a lot of time on chores but I really want to make risotto and more onion soup. I'm planning to get some pizza on Friday to celebrate the end of a huge crunch week so I don't want to get more take-out, and I've only got leftovers enough to cover one more day.
