The people who drill and hammer above me all the time at inappropriate hours (now I'm pretty sure they're just building furniture due to last night) were having a loud rear end party that got progressively louder as the night went on / they got drunker. I called management at 10pm on Friday cause they were hammering at 10:00 pm, but last night I had to have a "kids get off my lawn" and call management to tell them to shut the gently caress up. They were SCREAMING and stomping their feet on the ground so it makes sense why they were building furniture on Friday--to get ready for the party. But drat people 1130pm? Luckily they stopped hammering Friday after I called the first time and they (sort of) quited down after like 12:00am Sunday. They've been doing the hammering/drilling for years though and I'm just tired of it. Get off my lawn! (It's literally against building policy to have construction past 5/6pm and 9pm-8am are "quiet hours" and until 10am on Sundays). I'm not gonna write a formal complaint (yet) cause you had a party on Saturday ok, you quited down a bit when I called and I get being having friends over but I'm tired of the 9-10pm hammering and drilling and this party was just excessive. I should NOT be able to hear you stomping, yelling, and drilling/hammering because I have 10 foot ceilings! Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 18:04 on Nov 18, 2018 |

I got in on Gmail early and have firstname.lastname, but my name is unique enough that it's no problem. My buddy with the name equivalent of Mike Smith, though? I can't even imagine.

While deciding on a new name, I had the option for either <Firstname><Lastname> or <Firstname><O'Lastname> (Irish, two versions). Guess which one was available on Gmail?

They decided to have me working by myself every night and preparing food and filling drinks in a back area that I can't keep an eye on a store full of merchandise from. Thefts are gonna skyrocket but I'll get in trouble if I claim I have no food or drink!

I should know by now never to get excited for movies because the ones I want to see always turn out poo poo. See Alien Covenant, Predator, Wreck It Ralph 2. If the sequel totally negates the message of the first movie, it's a bad sequel. My period is coming so I'm stupid emotional and seeing a movie that I thought would be good has me stupid angry.

I know I talk about being super poor and I am and so is my family, but they and some extended (moms boyfriends') family saved up to get me an Apple Watch cause I want/need to start exercising. But I am so confused at how to use it. I couldn't even turn the thing on, attach the wristbands, or get to the home screen for hours. I'm still having trouble getting to the home screen.  I remember working at the Apple store over 10 years ago and showing old people (like in their 60s) how to do basic tasks on their computers. That is how I am with this watch. I am old  Also apparently a bunch of apps were removed which makes me sad so I can't use it for Pandora; I guess it's coming back but E: oh and I also can't find my Bluetooth earpiece so what is the point of me paying an extra $10 a month if I can't even use that?

Press the rotary button to leave wherever you are for the "watch face", then press it again to get into menu with all apps. Press the flat button wherever to open a list of your most recent apps, press it again to just go back to what you were doing.

Apple watch means you also spent a fortune on an iPhone. Be like me and spend $180 on a motorola. It's like 95% an iPhone.

Got me a mint used LG V30+ for $200 earlier this year. Same screen, processor, and RAM as the big boy Samsungs, a headphone jack and microSD slot, no touchwiz and easy rootability without popping an E-fuse. Just no Samsung logo and they don't sell cases for it on every street corner. Next phone will be similar, in 2 years when I decide to get one.

Mzuri posted:Why do you need a watch to start exercising? It has apps that track workouts and you can get apps that explain gym machines and I am antisocial so I'm not gonna ask people how to use them. And I'm trying to start exercising and tracking that poo poo is very helpful. Also my heart sucks so it's good that it'll tell me if I'm dying or not (I know my max heart rate and compared it to my expensive bp/hr monitor and it was only off by 1 bpm) Anyways it was a gift, that's the point. I never would have used my money (if I had any) to buy one. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 17:58 on Nov 26, 2018 |

My CPU is sitting idle at 80C and it finally occurred to me that I haven't cleaned my case in about a year. Maybe more. I cracked it open, cleaned out the sheep dog level of dust and it hasn't helped the issue. All games I play are a stuttering mess. Oh, the thermal paste! So dry that it might as well not exist. I gotta clean and apply some more once I get some in and PRAY that I didn't kill my CPU for good. At least I can still shitpost without any issue.

Hooray, hooray, credit card day. I only use a small amount of my available credit and even that little bit of money could probably change the lives of many people in the world, maybe here in the US, too. Damned if I like seeing the bill every month though. If I am ever (God forbid) diagnosed with a terminal illness, I should buy a small village somewhere on credit. Move some people out of mud huts and leave the bank with... a bunch of foreclosed mud huts.

Mzuri posted:Why do you need a watch to start exercising? My wife is an RN and deals with post-op ortho patients, mostly total joint replacement. She and the rest of her group have found that patients are more responsive to an electronic device reminding them to do their recovery exercise and activity than a human doing the same thing. This is especially true if the devices track a streak, people love streaks. But what is really interesting, is that the patients love the little bits of praise the devices give. When an actual human praises them, they are often suspicious or dismissive of the praise. So, a little buzz on your wist and fireworks going off on your Fitbit gets more results than a living human telling you "Good work!"

My FWP is that there are three different possible animations on my fitbit when I hit my goal: a spinning star, some fireworks, and a rocket ship. The rocket ship is my favourite, but I only seem to get it like twice a month.

I've been going to the Gym lately and lost a small but nice amount of weight (2.5kg) in the first 2 weeks. Annoyingly though, my legs are starting to act up again (I used to have really bad posture and it caused my hip pains, so I saw a doctor who referred me to a physiotherapist who told me how I could fix my posture, and gave me some stretches to relieve the tension), so I can't run for a bit until the pain subsides. I've been doing the stretches the physiotherapist gave me, and they just aren't working as well as they should be, so until my muscles finish aching I can't work out for a few days. I have bad hips and I'm only 31. It sucks.

Drove around like a madman trying to get poo poo done around lunchtime so I could get back to the office for an important meeting. Important meeting was cancelled.  (Also, I can never decide whether to use "canceled" or "cancelled". When I use one, the other seems right.)

My grocery store always has a big rear end display of Bacardi next to the cat food section (  ) and every time I see it I get a Cardi B song stuck in my head. Not too much of a problem cause I love Cardi B but I just don't like getting songs stuck in my head.They call me Cardi Bardi, banging body Spicy mami, hot tamale E: oh and I think my Apple Watch is using my cellular data but there's no way to loving tell! And my network is hidden  so I can't manually connect. And no I will not make it non-private.

After a recent FireOS update, my Fire 10HD tablet drains the battery in less than a day. Biggest users are Alexa, which I do not have turned on and logd, which I guess logs stuff, I don't know. I could go a week without charging it before, but now its every day. Also, my wife and I are having simultaneous mid-life crises.

Today's a day I am working from home and my girlfriend has taken her dog to a doggy daycare so I'm completely home alone without a dog to break the isolation by occasionally bumping into me wanting attention or giving me an excuse to get up and leave the house by taking it on a walk.

I've had this awful cold for 2 days now, and my appetite is still not returning, so for 2 days I've barely eaten anything (when I had a full meal for tea the first night, before I realised I had it, at 1am the following morning I was throwing the whole thing up) except today where I had a rye cracker and a bowl of tomato soup and that's it. I've been able to keep those down, but I want this cold to go away because sometimes I've been getting all chilly, which I think is a mild fever, and also I want to be able to EAT. I've had a couple of times where my stomach rumbled, but that was nothing, as I know what it feels like when the cold blows over and the appetite returns - it's not just a usual rumble, it's your stomach screaming for anything to eat, it's your body finally feeling like it hasn't eaten for 2 days and it's sooo satisfying to satiate it because you know that this time, you'll keep it down. It's the most satisfying meal of the month because of that, even if it's just a store bought sandwich, a soda and a chocolate bar.
