I cannot find any sort of mushrooms for sale locally to me besides agaricus bisporus' different states, shiitake, and oyster. If I want all the other types I want to eat, I am apparently just going to have to grow the drat things myself, and meeeeeeh.

I give my cat treats every morning around 8. I heard howling and scratching at my door around 8 this morning, went and gave him treats then started getting ready for the day. Feeling like absolute rear end, very bleary today. Then it hit me:

How the gently caress did this cat remember Spring Forward and I didn't?!

That's where I can get the oyster mushrooms, but haven't found anything else at the market in my city, or the one is the neighboring county.

Ever since I quit drinking I've been shoveling candy into my gaping maw like there's no tomorrow. Apparently this is common since you're not getting the sugar from alcoholic drinks that you used to but also I would like to not do this. Flavored seltzer water is helping a little but ugggghhhhhh

Lots of people don’t like it, which is understandable. I didn’t like seltzer for a long time then suddenly got a taste for it for reasons I can’t remember. I still like it although it definitely doesn’t help with cravings (and I know nothing will ever hit like alcohol) although eating a shitload of candy definitely does :shepface:

loving ebay just limited my account because "For the safety and security of the PayPal network, we still need you to update your details on your PayPal account to continue using your PayPal account."

And tells me to:
  • Log in to your PayPal account.
  • Click on the notification icon.
  • Update your details.

This is about the tenth email they've sent one of these and every time I go to the site and check the notification icon and every time there's nothing there. So I just go to my account details and look at all my personal and security options and they're all set, nothing is flagged.

So I contact ebay telling them I'm all set and can they please stop limiting my account. They send back "For the safety and security of the PayPal network, we still need you to update your details on your PayPal account to continue using your PayPal account."

PayPal customer support is useless. When I changed my name, they put my first and middle names in as my first name. When I tried to get them to take my middle name out of it, I was told by multiple reps that "in order to change your name you must provide legal documentation of the change".

:psyduck:

So I closed the account and reopened it without my middle name.

I was all excited at the first pick for the last get together with some previous coworkers of mine, before one of them moves several states away, because for once I'd be able to buy an actual meal (Just a Beyond burger, but hey, actual meal woo). But then they switched it to somewhere else, and oh boy, I get french fries and fruit.

I don't make a big deal of it, because I'm the one with the restriction, not them. But whhhhhhhy do so many places not even have one entree or appetizer that can at least be modified easily to be vegan. whinewhinebitchmoancomplain

I'm keto and I honestly feel like being vegan is easier nowadays. Everyone at work only hangs out at bars and I can't have beer or any fried food with batter or pretty much anything served for parties.

It can be super easy now, yeah. But some places, reading the menu is still an exercise in frustration as you try to figure out how to cobble together a meal out of it.

I managed to fix my PayPal account. I'd gone through every option on eBay and PayPal, changed everything, clicked everywhere. Nothing.

So I went to make a small purchase on eBay and a popup told me my account had been limited. I clicked the option in the popup to go to PayPay update my account. Changed nothing and now everything works.

So many shows and movies are made with high-end led or OLED in mind, so they're super dark on my reliable old television. Not a majority, but an increasing number

Except my left eye. It keeps leaking, all the time. I look like I'm very slowly crying out of one eye. What a dumb ailment to get.

The placement of my phone’s side buttons makes it so I sometimes accidentally take a screenshot of my lock screen when grabbing it. It doesn’t happen frequently enough to really irritate me but every now and then I’ll go to my camera roll and find some lock screens in there and then I feel mildly stupid :(

My employer has a huge campus and wifi is generally available everywhere but it sucks outdoors, to the point that it really doesn't work. That's fine, but my phone won't switch over to cell data unless it completely drops the wifi connection

Because the campus is so huge I have like three minutes of driving where I can't use Spotify because the dang phone is holding onto that one last wifi bar hoping to squeeze some data out of it in vain

My only option is to manually turn off wifi on the way out but that's like four seconds of effort and also I sometimes forget to turn it back on, meaning I use cell data until I notice

The app for my new bluetooth-enabled sous vide circulator just sets the temperature on the device. The device has temp controls right on it and they're easier to use

Why did they make an app to replace a button

I have one of the early kickstarter Anova circulators, and some water got in to the wheel encoder, so you can change the temp using the onboard controls but any time you move the knob it just basically jumps to a random number.

The only way to easily set the temperature is the app.

There are studies that are saying sugar has an even worse effect on your blood pressure than salt does.

I like using the app for my Anova because I can store time and temperature settings for different recipes, so if I want to make soft-boiled eggs or burgers or whatever I just bring up the app and pick the right one instead of having to look it up every time.

My friend works for himself as a general construction guy, and he makes good money, and I'm happy for him, but we used to work together and were of course a lot closer. Now I only see him maybe once or twice a year, and while we chat online sometimes, is usually too tired after work, or he's too involved in a game to really want to chat too much.

So I miss him, and I understand that he's super busy, and it sucks because real life happens and there's not much you can do.
