Maybe she thinks they'll expand to full size as they freeze? I've got some ice cube trays that I use for specialized reasons (specifically, they make huge cubes that are perfect for my 64oz water bottle), but for normal glasses, I use the ice maker.

Garrand posted:Just got an email from Progressive saying I'll be saving 70 dollars on my next 6 months insurance installment because I'm such a good driver. Checking what the next bill is I get a little confused because it doesn't look really any different than my last one. I check my old statement: even with the "savings" I'll be paying 30 dollars more this time than last time. So without those savings they'd be charging me $100 more than just 6 months ago, a full 20% increase in my bill. Yup - about 6 years ago I moved into a new apartment complex that was about a 10 min drive from my old place. Same county, different city, and my insurance went up almost $130 every 6 months. I called them out on their bullshit and got them to reduce it back. When I’m driving a 10 year old car and literally nothing else but my address changes, you bet your rear end I’ll fight tooth and nail or go elsewhere.

Is it just me or has youtube drastically increased the number of ads lately? I used to be able to listen to a playlist and go through 5 or so songs before an ad, but now it seems like there is a 90 second ad between every single song. I always have to be like "this doesn't seem like music" and stop what I'm doing and click skip ad.

Time to turn on adblock. First it was an ad before the video played. Then they added ads halfway through videos. Then pop-up ads over the video you have to keep closing. Now it's just non-stop ads everywhere and the site is unusable. There used to be the argument that blocking ads hurt channels because they got a bit of revenue from it, but now everything that isn't a huge company has already been demonetized anyway.

Like half the ads actually are music and often longer than the content if you're not able to reach it to skip, so sometimes I'm like "why the gently caress is this lovely rock song playing in a reggae playlist" for way too long before I realize it's a romantic gum commercial.

The primo “this music seems not right” ad was the Ford truck ad with “Fortunate Son” except “Some folks are born, made to wave the flaaag...... OOOOOOH they’re red white and blue” was the only spoken lyric and everything else was instrumental

My lovely FEMA trailer has a freezer attached to the water supply, and it is filtered water at that. Even shithouses deserve drinkable water in our country. No healthcare or a livable wage or a house to replace the one you've lost, but the water straight into the icebox won't kill ya!

(It’s not intentional, and people (who know me and thusly know I’m not going to kill them) always point it out and I have no idea why I look like that. I guess I’m just ugly In a similar vein to this and the spiky jacket comment, if you're wearing huge, prominent knee-high boots (preferably black leather/faux leather [also chunk heel, not the dainty little 'sexy' spike heels]), people seem to just slide out of your way.

Are you implying that not having your fridge connected to the water supply means you don't have access to potable water? The water coming out of my taps is perfectly safe to drink, it just doesn't flow directly into my freezer. I have to take the intermediate step of putting it into a tray and putting the tray in the freezer.

Tap water here is technically "safe to drink" in that you won't get any weird diseases from it but it definitely needs to be filtered if you don't want to puke it up 30 minutes after drinking it. Filtered water is fine for cooking, bottled water for coffee or tea.

When companies post interesting looking jobs that you are qualified for, but when you read the job description it says wacky bullshit like "you should be a coding ninja" and need to "assassinate problems like James Bond" and I instantly know I'd probably hate everyone I'd be working for/with. Is it so much to ask to want a work environment that's somewhere in between flippant "hip"/modern style like that and soulless ultra-serious robots?

One of my pet peeves about myself is that part of me can't stop myself from clicking on lovely clickbait sometimes. Brain: You don't need to click that, dumbass. You know it'll be bullshit or stuff you already know. Hand, fingers: Sorry! Can't hear you over our desire to know which celebrity has aged poorly, or what Full House star did something shocking recently! We'll be regretting not clicking on it for an unacceptable amounts of minutes if we don't!

The Black Stones posted:gently caress people who think employees should have the answer to their stupid questions. “Why don’t you carry X product” This kind of bullshit has been cranked to the max at my lovely retail job lately. The store is closing in a few months on account of being in a rural region that, if possible, is far more dead and gay than these wonderful forums. Every other customer is all: “WHY ARE YOU CLOSING?” The store isn’t making money. “IS THERE A CHANCE YOU WILL MOVE TO X LOCATION?” No. “I THINK YOU SHOULD MOVE TO X LOCATION.” Okay? And, my personal favourite, “WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!” What are you going to do? What am I going to do? Piss off. It might not bother me so much if they ever made a distinction between me as a person and the corporate entity that is the store itself, but they don’t. I am personally responsible for everything that does or does not happen and should know all the details.

In the vein of stupid retail customers? I do not work for this store. I am a contractor. My uniform is a different color than every store employee here, and it does not have the stores name on it. The only question I can answer is "Where are the restrooms?". Pay attention, people. I posted earlier about shopping carts outside of stores? There were 5 outside of a store, I bought 2 in, came back out and some complete rear end in a top hat saw that I was bringing them in and left their cart outside. Didn't even see them, they were gone by the time I got out.

I want to know what if it's about this Web site in particular that makes it so some posts' font sizes are large and them the next post is teeny tiny itty bitty font size. I swear this doesn't happen on news articles or other forums. Oh :radium: I mean, this is on my tablet and phone. Desktop browser is just fine and readable. Though I guess it does make it fun. Some posts are really excited and are yelling!

Its very annoying when people don't know how to have conversations and it feels like you have to drag out anything from them and lead them past just one word answers or vague non statements that have no descriptions or specifics. Its not that they are in a bad mood or not wanting to chat, its just how they are and how they respond normally. Not their fault per se but god it can be frustrating.

I wish I liked tomatoes. I've tried them sliced, fried, in sandwiches and wraps, as soup, but I just don't like them. It'd be a ton easier ordering a burger our wrap if I liked tomatoes. I could enjoy salsa and pico de gallo! It's not even a texture thing, which is why I don't like potato salad or deviled eggs. I like the taste of deviled eggs, but there's something about the way they feel in my mouth that just isn't right. Potato salad is the same way, even though I like all the ingredients to it. It's frustrating, being picky like this. I've tried these things over and over again, but I just don't like them.

I'm not super crazy about ketchup, though. I don't mind it, but it's typically not the first condiment I reach for, unless I've got super hot fries (like, fresh out of the fryer and melting flesh hot).

I kind of have a thing about tomatoes too yet I love them in sauces or chili or whatever. It's not a big deal though, the only time it comes up are burgers/sandwiches or in salads and you can just take them off. The only thing I'll always ask restaurants to leave off is pickles though because the flavor soaks into other stuff more than stuff like tomatoes. I think it's important to distinguish between having food preferences and being the dreaded "picky eater". If it prevents you from even trying whatever the food is when presented with it in a different way, that's being a picky eater. If you keep trying new things and just happen not to like it because of whatever ingredient you don't like, that's normal. This isn't really directed at anyone, it just bugs me when people jump on you for being a picky baby for stating an uncommon food preference.
