It's co-written and directed by Bong but it's not really a Korean production.

It's a hunting bag designed to carry shotgun shells and other manly things. It's for manly men like Jake.

I left my power supply sitting on the table so I was without my laptop for the entirety of my long weekend. I had enough poo poo to do to not need it much, but without music or something to listen to it takes me forever to fall asleep.

Last week I ordered an iPhone 7 Plus screen protector and was sent one for a regular 7. Just got the replacement and promptly managed to stand on it (in my defense the end of the little wooden box had come off during shipping)

Now I have to wait yet another few days for a new one

Dangit. I found a decent vehicle that I like, except that it doesn't have the screen console with sync installed, and according to Ford you can't add that poo poo on secondhand. It either has it, or it doesn't. You can't have em pop it as an upgrade and have it control the climate stuff and all that jazz.

Poop.

Nah, but I dig having the climate controls and engine diagnostic type stuff available like that.

I can pop in an aftermarket radio with Bluetooth and all that but it can't do the stuff tied to the car like tell me mileage or tire pressure or trip costs/fuel breakdowns.

I want a fun car with a screen but I can't afford one and that just sucks. I'll just have to make do with a functional ac system and use dials and poo poo like a caveman.

My dad asked me if a friend (and her grandson) could crash at our apartment for the weekend. We said sure, because we have enough space to handle a woman and a seven year old, right?

I swear to God, I am going to kill this child. I work with kids, at or around his age, but this guy is a brat to a degree beyond where I'm used to. Some of it I get (not really understanding that it's gonna take an hour and a half for me to pull down GTA 5), some of which is just a seven year old being a seven year old, and some of it is just plain rudeness (like, saying hi to me by asking if I had GTA5, or getting pissed that I don't have COD or Resident Evil), etc.

I really wouldn't let a 7 year old play GTA5 man. That's got some seriously adult content in there.

He's 7, he can start getting used to disappointment like the rest of us did, at an early age. :corsair:

I tried to steer him towards something else, but all he plays is shooters and I'm getting the distinct impression that his parents/grandparents don't tell him no.

I'm not happy with it either, but whatever. He's the grandson of a woman who is a friend of my dad's girlfriend. I'll probably never deal with him ever again.

No urgent care or doctors office is open so I have to go to the ER. It's serious enough that it can't wait till morning but would easily be treatable at a GP's office. The bills are going to be astronomically high, even WITH insurance. Plus I get to wait in the waiting room for 5 hours to most likely just get some medicine prescribed.

Oh and it's the "slow shift" meaning there's 2 patients, 20 nurses chatting at the nurses station, and 3 doctors in the back napping.


E: now I'm at the pharmacy to get the drugs filled and of course it's taking forever because there's a billion morons asking questions like,

:downs: how many pills of this do I have to take (it says it on the box you illiterate!)
:downs: can I give this [dangerous for children] drug to my 2 month old (again, read the box, it says DO NOT GIVE TO CHILDREN)
:downs: what's the difference between Drug and Generic brand? :eng101: it's the same ingredient blah blah :downs: but what's the difference

And assholes who come to the pharmacy counter to check out instead of the actual checkout, I guess to avoid that line?. gently caress you.

My main monitor on my dual monitor setup went blank last night.

I stayed up an extra hour and a half troubleshooting the problem. Switching cables, rebooting, googling similar problems etc. Spent another hour or two this morning shopping around for a new monitor and possibly even a new graphics card.

Turns out I must have accidentally bumped the 'change video source' button. I wasted nearly 4 hours I could have slept in or played video games on my 3 day weekend :argh:

This great backwards hellhole of a country has given me some sort of combined allergy/hayfever/cold. My whole head has been blocked up for days and after trying zertec and two different sinus medications my nose is clear but won't stop streaming.

Normally this would suck but mid-roadtrip, living out of your car and needing to work on your laptop means I can't drive or work at diners without nearly crashing or getting grossed out looks from other customers.

I've had this sort of issue a lot. Why the hell is my BR player not working? An hour or two later, I resign to restarting my PC and it works fine. Why the hell did my second monitor stop working? Three hours later, I click on the Dual Smart Solution thing on my taskbar and my PC shakes its head and remembers it has a second monitor. I've got so many mental notes on skip-fixing-just-do-this in my head, nowadays.

For content: I'm on my own for the night, and my inner manchild wants to have a manchildy bachelor night. Like, eating-fast-food-at-the-computer-playing-video-games bachelor night. The problem is, I've grown up enough that such a thing is viscerally gross to me. Like, when did I become the person who actually cares that his keyboard doesn't become gross with french fry oil? Used to be, I'd shrug and clean stuff if it got dirty. Now, I actually want to keep things clean and dude you're typing that URL without wiping your hands what is wrong with you going on.

A person I care a great deal for is being distant again. It was one thing when they lived in another state, but now they're only six hours away- I could get on a greyhound bus and visit them right the hell now- which makes waiting for them to open up again a little harder than it used to be.

What? "Only six hours away" is nearly 4 states travel for me by car and literally anywhere in the continental US by plane. You must be in Texas.

Correct :v: I'm near the Dallas area and she moved to Corpus Christi a few months ago. I sometimes forget just how drat big my state is compared to others.

'Only' six hours away because she used to live in New York state; she's so close now, comparatively speaking.

That's the worst, especially when you talk to them almost daily so the day feels empty without your chit chat. Time heals usually but you never know.

FWP: Ive been going to AA and while everyone is super nice, it feels just too nice. Like I can't trust that these people actually care and that its more part of their own recovery to try to support others. I have no reason to doubt these people do take interest but it just feels so... staged? And as a loner really its hard to accept attention from others but I think thats just a personal issue to get over.

I don't know what's worst: the actual viscerally disturbing grossness/stickiness, the fact that it won't clean off with light water and a washcloth, or :wtc: I left this thing on the far corner of a desk last time I used it a year+ ago, the worst thing this thing should've gotten on it is dust, what the everloving crap is this stickiness?!

I never put any real thought into it, but America is big. I live almost at one end of my country (Italy), and I still can be anywhere in the country in less than ten hour's time by car, barring islands that need ferries to get to.

The Californian town I'm in now has a suspicious amount of 'all races/genders etc etc welcome here' signs on shops that makes me think Americans being dicks has been a local issue lately. Especially funny as the towns character is heavily influenced by a single immigrant group. Luckily I blend in with the locals so it's not my FWP.

I remember seeing some overlay image of various countries over various states and going "holy poo poo". We've got enough room for like 3 europes over there.

My FWP: I took a long weekend to go back to the UP (I live in minneapolis) and gently caress I miss it. All my friends are there, the forests are beautiful, and the weather is perfect. I wish there were any jobs at all around there that weren't retail so I could move back and be around people I like and people who are actually friendly; here I have a good job but everyone is so loving lovely all the time and the weather is constantly >85 temp and humidity.

It used to be that when Texan specialist miners came to western Australia they needed to be sat down and shown a map of WA overlaid with three non-overlapping Texases, and be told that the entire state had less people than Houston. This was entirely to stop them looking at a map and driving off to their deaths because thanks to hubris and the metric system they had no concept of the stupid distances between anything.

To be fair Texas is loving enormous when compared to virtually any other state except maybe Alaska or CA so "Texans don't understand the concept of 'too big'" is a pretty well-known thing in the US
