I'm an hour from the border and used to send everything to a border town for pickup and hope the guard isn't a dick who wants to make me pay import tax that day because that's what everyone does and it's so much cheaper.

Turns out unless it's a heavy piece of equipment or multiple items it's usually only a few bux cheaper to pay import tax and shipping. So unless my fuel tank is almost empty and I can fill up on inferior US gas fuckit.

Yeah, I'm more like a half hour and I go over a lot so it makes sense for me.

Too much further and it's only useful for places that won't ship to Canada at all.

I was gonna pay $10 for an amazon filter but realized I should prob get a $60 one, made in Germany, for my fancy new lens and both increased my credit card debt terribly but the lens is loving gorgeous and the filter is amazing and I don't know how to feel about the whole situation. $, but gorgeousness. :/

In Canada that $60 lens would probably be $150.

I HATE apple cables. They are so flimsy and break, exposing the wires underneath. But if you use an odd-brand cable, which works perfectly, doesn't work because the iPhone says "this is not a compatible device" despite having used it in forever.

A job I applied for only took in 100 or fewer applications (including mine) and are opening 17 positions.
I'm qualified but my job history is weird and somewhat specialized. If I could get an interview, I could easily explain my skills and history.
Getting to that point is difficult.

Your friends suck. I flat-out told mine that I refused to learn how to play any MOBA, and if I had to play, I was going to be drunk and belligerent the entire time. It turns out, they're pretty okay with that, and on the occasion I do play something I can usually get 2 or 3 people to carry my drunk rear end who think it's hilarious that I'm not even trying and the rest of our team is getting super salty about it.

This may be how I ended up drunk at 8am after playing Heroes of the Storm for the first time, after promising myself I'd go to bed early last night because I had poo poo to do today, but whatever. v:shobon:v



My real FWP right now is that I keep accidentally grabbing the jar of salsa instead of my glass of bourbon.

Cars has the most movies of any of their franchises, too.

Cars 1, 2, and soon-to-be 3.

And then also Planes and Planes: Fire and Rescue.

How Fire and Rescue, a spin-off of a spin-off, was actually released in theaters and not straight-to-video is lost on me.

Toy Story has 3 movies with a 4th upcoming, 2 22-minute TV specials shown on their own, and 3 short films shown before movies (Cars 2, Finding Nemo 3D, and The Muppets).

I wound up uninstalling because I'm not really a fan of MOBA's anyways and they were the only folks I played that with. Gaming with friends loses all of it's fun when folks get turbospergy about it.

My grandparents bought a house recently and gave it to me. They did it as a surprise. That's cool, I guess. But they paid cash for the cheapest house they could find in my small southern town so it's in an awful neighborhood, all the plumbing had been stolen and had to be replaced, the roof was full of holes so that had to be replaced, the ceiling has holes and water damage everywhere, the bathroom walls and floor are hosed, I've got a washer and dryer but the hookups don't work, the stove is broken, the backyard is tiny and in clear view of all the neighbors, basically this is the shittiest house ever but beggars can't be choosers I guess and I can't exactly get mad at my grandma because it's still a house in my name and grandpa just died. I can fix a lot of the issues but I was just wanting to rent a little apartment and not have to worry about all this poo poo.

Eh, could be worse. This house has been fire-gutted and is unfit to live in, and it's still on the market for $300k. And no, it's not in a nice part of town.. though ironically it is right across the street from the fire station.



To add insult to injury, they're selling it along with the property next door, which is $550k. So that's $850k total for two houses, one of which you can't even use.

Apparently the alt right neo nazi movement has somehow stolen the "ok" sign and it now means white power. 👌

I don't know if it annoys me more than they somehow started using that, or that someone looked at some awkward white people giving an ok sign and went OH THOSE loving BASTARDS and made up the thing on the spot.

Sort of like when I was in school and apparently slap bracelets all have different meanings about who sold drugs or who was up for sexing, and in reality it was just some weird rear end people going "I BET THAT'S WHAT THOSE YOUNG FOLK ARE UP TO! HAVING SEX! TAKING DRUGS! I BET THAT RED BRACELET MEANS HEROIN!" or whatever the local news story was.

Dammit I just wanna signal the waitress that my steak is fine, not be accused of being a nazi :mad:

A decent percentage of my computer's memory is usually in use, and it's somewhat bothersome.

I consider this a FWP because it's not an overwhelming/actively-impedes-my-computer's-functioning amount, nor is it in one or two processes. That'd be easy to suss out and remove. No, it's the much more boring thing of not having reformatted-and-reinstalled-poo poo on my computer in a long time, and there's a lot of low-footprint stuff that collectively takes up a bunch of memory.

I really don't want to do a reformat-and-reinstall thing, and I really don't want to sperg out and play the "what is this process and how do I prevent it from being there" game for something that is only taking up an ounce of memory, times every process.

In addition, there's an obvious solution - just restart - but my OS is on a slow HD and rebooting takes a while. My life is woe.
