My doc wants me to get a colonoscopy and I don't want to. I can understand the need for it, but I've had 3 other ones in the past (decade or so ago) and they all came back with "Didn't really see anything, sorry your rear end is messed up" and I'm scared of that happens again in gonna lose my poo poo ( ) and murder the doc.

I don't recall Get yourself some of that kerrygold (or the polish knockoff in the silver wrapper). Irish butter will change your life. Like, I don't eat that much butter at all, and a single pack of kerrygold has lasted more than a month (or two?) in my fridge, but it's delicious by itself on some toast. Never going back to regular butter.

I haven't really been into comics in a long time, so I got the date wrong on when new ones come out. Three stores, zero extant copies of the newest Power Rangers comic book that I am morally entitled to by right of kings :shakingfisticon: edit to add another, more actual annoying problem: my portable fast-charging battery is giving up the ghost a bit, because it settles for charging my phone instead of taking advantage of my phone's fast-charging abilities. It seems like a trivial distinction, but the difference between charging and fast-charging is night and day / practically-usable and practically-unusable. I ordered a supposedly fast-charging cord, but like 90% of them I've tried before, I'm not confident that it's actually-fast-charging or just marketing. To make matters worse, I've done some testing and I'm pretty sure its the charger itself and not the wire. Replacing that is going to cost some change

I’m very particular about my butter (I eat Président butter from France) and I am gross and when I’m cooking I’ll throw some in the frying pan or whatever and then cut off a chunk and eat it. It is soooo tasty. People who eat that stick of 4 in a box type generic butter have no idea what they’re missing. My problem is that butter absorbs refrigerator smell like crazy. It’s not the smell of other food, it’s whatever chemical is in the fridge itself that makes it cold. So I have to wrap my butter up in aluminum foil and then put it in a super almost-airtight Tupperware to keep it tasty and avoid that gross taste. Aaand don’t tell me I’m crazy cause I’ve had this on 5 fridges of different brands & models or refrigerator including 2 very expensive fancy ones. It happens to other food too. Refrigerator taste is disgusting. Sort of related, snacks I had as a kid cause we were poor -half a radish, piece of butter, salt -white bread, butter, honey, granulated sugar FWP: really want some butter right now

Refrigerators are closed loop. If they leaked a chemical that made your butter taste bad, they would need constant refilling. What you're saying doesn't make sense. You can't defend nonsense by saying "don't tell me it's not the fridge, it's totally the fridge" when that's impossible unless the fridge is leaking and defective. Now, plastic offgassing from new tupperware, food ingredients, etc, yes. Those can affect the taste of butter. The biggest thing that makes butter taste bad, though? One that DOES explain your predicament? Oxygen. From the air.

To add to food-related FWPs, every chicken noodle soup brand I've ever had and liked has changed their noodles from thin noodles to thicker-diameter noodles and I don't like it. I'm not sure if it's the actual taste that's different, or if its different mouthfeel and plain-old "this is different and I don't like different".

Well that sorta makes sense? When I first got my dog and switched his food I did it wrong/too fast and he had uncontrollable diarrhea for a week. Probably don't want to give doggles anything more on its plate.

Speaking of New Zealand, I found out that the NZ government bent over backwards to kowtow to Warner Brothers to make sure The Hobbit films there. Apparently WB threatened to move production to Ireland if the actors kept asking for more pay. So the government basically got rid of collective bargaining rights for their actors and the law is apparently still in place today. Good job New Zealand and WB. You did all that for a lovely trilogy.

I really need to stop taking Uber to work. Sure it’s only $15/trip and I only work a few days a week but it’s convenient; since we moved locations, I’m not able to drive since there’s no parking unless I circle around for 30 minutes; and the bus is 1 hour whereas uber is 10 min. I’m so used to getting up 30 min before work and being out the door In 20 to a 15/20 min drive that it’s hard to get used to getting ready for a 1 hr bus ride. I HATE waking up early.Picnic Princess posted:A small plane landed on a city street not far from my house but I didn't get to witness it because I'm never up that early.

So I've got a semi-archaic but as far as I know pretty drat white-sounding name. Every time someone new uses it they pronounce it like it's asian or middle-eastern, like instead of Amanda they say AR-min-duh or something. Or spelling it like Imanda if they've heard it before they've read it. Like I know this is due to the spread of multiculturalism and people trying to be accommodating to different ethnicities, but it's inconveniencing me damnit!

I have the same first name as two famous actors and one of the most common first names in the US, but because it's the Gaelic spelling, it took until fourth grade before a teacher ever got it right on the first try. Plus I got told up until I was in seventh grade that my name was the girl's spelling and not the boy's spelling of it. My dad should have loving just named me John. It even means the same thing!

I use a chemex for my cups of coffee (4 spoonfuls of sugar per cup, lots of flavored creamer, Folgers) but I always misjudge it and end up with two cups, which is what I want, and then a little bit of coffee leftover that just goes to waste

Just mix the last of the coffee 1x1x with flavored creamer when you're feeling sluggish later in the day. Small pick me up and you can't taste the staleness. I guess add a few spoons of sugar and a shot of rum for a pancreas killer cocktail. I just broke my chemex (also two bongs and a shitload of cheap wineglasses) while packing up my giant house so I can move to a houseboat and I'm sad about it. I feel like that's the first worldest problem ever. e: My giant house is a piece of poo poo barn, everything I own fits in seven footlockers, and the houseboat is in Florida. Real world problems.

Feeling lazy and tired today, ordered pizza instead of going out or cooking something. Pizza guy can't get into the apartment complex because the call box is a piece of poo poo, so I ended up running downstairs in my housecoat to grab everything. Then I had to walk all the way upstairs again, and open my door with my foot because my hands were full. Oh, and some dumbass guys outside felt it necessary to tell me that the pizza guy was here, as if I needed that explained to me.

I saw Infinity War and thought it was ok. Just an okay movie. Every single one of my friends who've seen it either loved it or hated it. No middle ground. I'm the only one who sort of liked it. Fwp: it's exhausting to discuss a movie you don't care about either way with people who'd die defending it, or with people who'd gladly see it erased from the face of the Earth.

I mean she's communicating the message of the president pretty effectively IMO. Behind the scenes she's probably being told she's doing a great job. Anyone that is working differently than her would be fired within a week.
