Strange poo poo like that does happen occasionally. Like it might have been a supply issue at the time but the store was stocked up so it didn't bother changing the price. Uncommon but not completely impossible.

I saw a termite tube from my ceiling. Knocked it down, and according to the net that is the wrong thing to do. Last time I saw any was last fall, and I drilled into the ceiling and sprayed termite foam, and only now with the new rains has anything else appeared. The fact there are no tubes outside my house makes me rather worried. edit: the week before my period my anxiety kicks into high gear and I find myself second guessing everything. Like, I was driving 45 in a 40 did I pass any speed cameras? Were people pissed at me for being late even if I let them know ahead of time? What if my friend is really mad at me instead of the logical reason she not replying to my texts being that she's out riding? Cowslips Warren has a new favorite as of 23:58 on Jan 20, 2019 |

Saliva and spit are just peak gross so I can't watch those super slobbery blowjobs or cumswap or etc. Even my own spit grosses me out. Godspeed, fellow biological function cringer.

I just got an Xbox One controller to use with my Windows 10 PC and the thing works like crap. The controller causes lag in the game and also the Bluetooth continually disconnects. At first I thought it could just be driver related but now I am finding lots of other people has these problems online as well. I hope I can still get a refund.

My million year old flatscreen monitor's power button broke. Still worked fine after all these years, but just today the power button rotated in position like 30 degrees and now feels flimsy and loose. What a crappy end for such a long standing device. As far as I know the rest of the device works fine but it just won't turn on

My (relatively new) monitor/small TV has the opposite problem; there is no power button. Or any kind of buttons anywhere on it, at all. If I lose the remote it came with, I am hosed!

My secondary monitor is this ancient little LCD, and I have to keep my PC running 24/7 without power saving mode or anything, because if the screen turns off it'll take it like five to ten minutes of flickering to come back on, and it's just a pain in the rear end.

Do they offer an adapter like the 360 controller? Bluetooth is a crapshoot: could be the adapter, could be the controly, could be the driver. An adapter would offload the wireless processing to the USB chipset (are they still called southbridges?). Of course, then the FWP is having yet another USB dongle to plug in.

XBone controllers don't use bluetooth, it's a proprietary protocol that means anyone who wants to make a wireless bone controller needs to license the protocol from microsoft. Sounds like a lovely dongle, I've not personally bumped into any issues with my bone controller on Win 10 Pro, but obviously that's not the universal experience. Should be able to connect it to micro USB though.

I just saw that Google will discontinue Inbox! I really liked it and made sorting my mail so easy, it also looks nicer than the gmail app.  I also hate myself that this actually bothers me.

I still use hangouts. Do you mean, like, the google voice integration? Like, if someone texts my regular cell number, it doesn't go to hangouts anymore, only to the phone message app, but texts to my google voice number (which is the only number I give out, has the same last 4 as my cell) it goes to hangouts. Still SMS'ing on the PC like a motherfucker.

I've been eating like poo poo lately, especially for breakfasts, so I figured I'd start making smoothies based on my existing Huel again since it's otherwise just sitting there. Problem is, I've completely forgotten how to make the smoothie I like. Pretty sure it's just a couple scoops of huel, milk, a banana, and some squirts of vanilla extract, but it's not the same and for the life of me I can't remember what I'm missing.

Trying to make an appointment with my GP is such a pain in the rear end. Call the office, listen through all the options in the menu and all the announcements because clicking the menu numbers doesn't actually do anything. Then wait an obnoxiously long time unless you happen to hit the perfect time where no one else is calling (this has happened all of once in the past year). Then have the receptionist hang up because their signal is garbage (I checked, it's not my phone). Alright, I'll try using the site instead. Dig up my username and go to the site. Hmm... none of my normal passwords are working, guess I have to reset the password. Oh, it turns out the system doesn't recognize my username. The only way to fix this? CALL THE GODDAMN OFFICE. I've been going to the same doctor for 18ish years now and only started having these issues within the last two or so years. Just fuming right now.

It died, and I got a 4k monitor...which has its controls in a stupid rocker hat configuration on the back. There is no remote or instant input switching, so whenever I want to switch to consoles, I have to compete with the even going blank from no input with bringing up the OSD so I can change inputs. I really want a remote-controlled monitor so it'd work with my Harmony.

Are you aware you can buy stand alone HDMI switches with IR remote controls? You plug your computer / consoles in to the switch, its output in to your monitor and Bob is your father's brother. Plenty of them are Harmony compatible (you can check a particular make / model here on the Harmony site)

This is maybe late for you youtube recommending bad channel sufferers, but you have to not only click 'not interested' but also' tell us why' and then 'I'm not interested in this channel'. Works for me so far but I also religiously avoid on clicking anything that looks to be pro / anti alt right except to do the above because I don't want to even approach the cancer.

That was more directed towards drivers in general  my fwp is the exact opposite of yours. Just today I got the walk light and some rear end in a top hat gunned it so he could drive in front of me, only missing me because I jumped backwards. Nobody around here knows what a goddamn crosswalk is or why people try to walk on them

I was nervous to buy a new phone for a day and a half despite writing like six different paycheck budgets that included weeks of groceries, laundry, and savings, and I still feel vaguely weird about having bought the new phone. My current phone isn't broken or anything, I just thought a new phone seemed cool. I'm not used to replacing things that aren't actively falling apart.
