I'm going to have to buy an oversized mailbox because my dumb as poo poo mailman tries to cram boxes into my regular one, which damages a bunch of stuff and holds the door open letting rain in. The post it is on leans backwards from his stupid rear end trying to shoving stuff into it

The "Print Screen" key, which I use in my work about a thousand times a day, is no longer working after a Windows update. My flow was always to hit that key, open IrfanView, hit Ctrl-V, simple as. Not anymore!

The key by itself, which I've used for years? Nothing. Alt+Print Screen? Nope. Windows Key+Print Screen? No.

I can still use the Take Screenshot function in the right-click menu in Firefox, and I can use the stupid Snipping Tool in Windows, but I want an entire 1:1 image of the entire desktop without opening some other dipshit application.

A little research showed me that there used to be a Print Screen Key toggle deep in the settings menu:



That toggle is straight up not in my settings menu. This sucks out loud.

I posted my food for USPOL Thanksgiving!
Walked past a (clean shaven) guy yesterday who said, quite unclearly, "Happy Christmas" so I said "you too mate".

Couple seconds later i realised he'd actually said "nice moustache".

That's like saying "you too" to a waiter saying enjoy your meal. Awful.

someone awful.

I see you mentioning the windows snipping tool, but you know about the win+shift+S hotkey to quickly take a screenshot without having to open any programs in advance, right? :shobon: It's completely replaced my usage of print screen personally, though I'd still be really mad if the key randomly stopped working too.

PicPick can be set to open and take a screenshot when you press the printscreen button.

It's been my go-to for years now.

An oversized mailbox is a godsend. Your mailman can put giant dildos or 120 day prescriptions in it without everyone seeing your issues. Be glad you live in a neighborhood where you get to have a mailbox at your house and don't have to pick your next house color by committee of your peers.

Set up to meet someone for a sale today. We made the arrangement Tuesday. Meeting today in about 40 minutes. Got all the poo poo packed and ready, and he emails me that he can't make it but will holla at me later today.

This would not bother me so much save the fact it's 100 loving live mice and now I have nowhere for them to go.

Reminds me of my early 20s when I was subletting a room of our rented house. The potential housemate moved in her snake, then backed out of the agreement leaving me to take care of the snake for the next three weeks.

As of today, it's been a full week without heating or hot water in my flat. My hot water thing basically died on me and while I can afford to replace it, I don't know when that will happen, because my apartment building can only fit one of the old types which are only made on order at this point.

I'm making do with a space heater and by hoofing it down the street to my parents' when I want to shower, but still. Sucks.

We finally are getting our in-ground pool filled in with dirt. Dude started this morning. But by about noon, it was clear he wouldn't have enough dirt because he didn't measure poo poo properly. Now he is quoting us an extra few hundred bucks to get another ton or two, and it's one of those deals that if we don't pay, the work isn't finished, so not bad for a grifter.

Pissed about this. But what can you do?

My brother finally got his copy of the FF7 remake back from his friend so he lent it to me. However, while the install disk is there, the play disk is the wrong game - he gave us FF15 instead of FF7.

Another phone gripe is when you want to write 'too' and it only writes out 'to', when you really meant the other or vice versa, so you have to go back and fix it anyway every. time.

I told you so...
I feel like this is the first world-est problem, but I got more serious about my workout a bit before COVID hit, then got myself a home gym when we went on lockdown and I've gained a good bit of muscle over 2 years.

So now none of my old button downs fit anymore and anything off the rack does that annoying stretched out hole between buttons on my chest. My options seem to be either buying a size too large and having a loose collar, droopy shoulders and baggy midriff, buying "muscle shirts" that look tacky as hell, or only buy tailored shirts from now on.

Plus "my" tailor only sells white shirts.

Bought a new couch last month and had to start payments on it this month, their payment site stinks and I couldn't tell if the automatic payment I had set up actually stuck so I accidentally sent in two payments this month :goleft: At least I'll have it paid off a month sooner?

Find a cheap tailor in Chinatown. It won't be as nice as a real tailor but the value add of like +$10 dollars on a shirt that costs $50 is humongous. Just make sure you tell them to hide the piping, unless that is what you want. Not that "real" italian tailors are necessarily better. Worst goddamm suit I ever got was from a tailor who didn't respect how oddly and unfortunately shaped my body is.

Fair but I've had better suits made by a rando in a Beijing mall for a tenth of the price. High quality my rear end. High quality if you are already conventionally attractive, which is basically anything. That's the whole point of scrumbo.

And I haven't actually spoken to this person in at least a decade so just sending it directly to them and saying "hey remember this funny thing from our shared past" is completely out of the question :jiggled:
