There are way too many TV shows, podcasts, books, etc. that I want to watch/read/listen to and the list keeps growing faster than I can get through them.

When you go to wash your hands, so you push your sleeves up, then just as you've started soaping up your hands, your sleeve slips back down and now you have to awkwardly try to avoid getting it wet while still rinsing the soap off your hands.

Show Me A Chicken posted:I have a hard drive full of classic Doctor Who, but my smart TV won't recognize the files no matter what I do so I might have to just play them on my laptop if I want to watch them. Just plug the TV into the laptop and use it as a monitor?

Sometimes when I'm renaming files I'll go to use Shift-Del as the shortcut for "cut", but in the file manager that's always interpreted as "delete file" instead.

kannonfodder posted:T-shirts and jeans are literally the only clothes a person should need in life. But every now and then some bullshit happens where you need to wear something that isn't the most comfortable clothes ever made. If you're going for pure comfort, don't care how it looks, track pants are a better option than jeans.

Kaubocks posted:There's two buses I can catch to take me to work in the morning. There's one at 8:26 which for some reason some times just doesn't show up at all. There's another at 8:39 which just barely gets me to work on time.  Kaubocks posted:Both buses cover the same route and both make a stop at a subway station where the bus quickly fills up. If I'm riding the 8:39, the driver of that route spends the next several minutes yelling at people to keep moving to the back of the bus to make room for more people even when we don't have any room to move. The driver of the 8:26, however, doesn't say a word and it's hilarious how bad people are at making room. The front of the bus is jam packed with people standing shoulder to shoulder with the back of the bus having so much room I could stretch my legs out. Then there's the way people run right up to the tram (or train) as soon as it arrives, then have to back off to let people out. You know people are going to be trying to get out, just wait. I've even seen people immediately get up and cluster around the doors of a train after an announcement over the PA had just said "Please do not board the train." Sit down, you idiots. You have to wait for the announcement saying we can get on. The doors won't even open yet!

AngryRobotsInc posted:Apparently it is impossible to find tax forms here anymore, without having to print them up, and I do not own a printer. So I had to pay to file them online, which is $20 I really didn't want to spend right now. When I need to print something I just go to the library. 20˘ a page.

I have too much delicious food in my house. I just ate a toasted sandwich containing pork and peppercorn terrine, cheese and pumpkin and now I can't eat pâté on toast or chorizo and prawn risotto, or pumpkin soup or hummus with Turkish bread, and I want to eat them all.

At 7am this morning, after about three hours sleep, I suddenly found myself wide awake for no apparent reason. I have no need to be up this early and I'll probably be really tired later.

No Such Thing posted:I ate some fries and now i'm full of fries but I still have fries left, I don't want to throw the fries away but I also don't want to put the fries in the fridge because they'll get mealy and i'll throw them out later in the week anyway. I need some sort of cool fry life hack to keep them nice so I can eat them later. When you go back to them, microwave them and eat them with mayonnaise. They still won't be as good as fresh, but they're not bad that way.

I have two coupons for $5 off six-packs of beer I like, but you can't use them both on the same day and the supermarket they're for isn't the convenient one near my house, so I'm going to have to make two trips there on separate days.

Cowslips Warren posted:Tried to set up a meet with another fishkeeper, at 2am today we agreed to meet "tomorrow." For me, since it's 2am, that means today is Saturday, tomorrow is Sunday. For Mr rear end in a top hat, "tomorrow" means Saturday because he forgot 2am Saturday morning doesn't mean Friday. He got real snippy when I pointed that out and I had to cancel the meeting. You are the one who is wrong there.

I've just moved to a new flat. My internet was supposed to be moved to the new address between one and six pm today. It's now well after six and it hasn't even been disabled at the old place yet, which probably means it'll be Monday before it actually gets sorted out. And the ISP aren't answering when I phone them "due to the large number of calls they're currently receiving".

My new flat has Venetian blinds in the bedrooms. They don't block the light very well and so the rooms get really bright really early. There was no blind at all in the livingroom, but we were told it would be installed and today it has been. A Venetian would have been really good in this room, since it lets you block out direct sunlight without making the room too dark. They've installed a roller blind here, which means I'm basically going to have to have the lights on in the afternoon most of the time.

Thin Privilege posted:The Amazon app is total poo poo because it defaults to applying a gift card balance to your order payment, even though I set default to credit card only on the website--there isn't an option for this on the app!!!! so now I have to cancel the order, but it's "not guaranteed" because I have prime and it's already shipping even though it's been less than 12 hours (I ordered it 10pm last night and it's 730am now). I'm worried they're going to charge me return shipping even though it's their stupid app's fault. I was saving this $200 to get myself something nice, not to pay goddamn return shipping for something that's technically their fault for having a lovely app. I don't understand how this is even a problem? You spent your Amazon balance instead of real money. Real money is exactly like Amazon money, but better (because it can also be spent at other places). If for some reason you need Amazon money, just use the real money you still have (because you spent your Amazon money instead) to buy yourself a gift card.

The oven in my new flat is too small to fit my good stainless steel baking dish, and the grill tray (which I use most days) squeals in a very unpleasant manner when you move it. I play Scrabble on Facebook and Draw Something on my tablet. Lately, both games seem to have just stopped notifying me when it's my turn.

I would go on a weekday so there won't be traffic, but it's still like an hour away. Plus I don't have anything to listen to during the ride: the radio sucks, all stations have ads at the same time, and I'm sick of all the music that I have. Someone suggested Pandora or Spotify but I don't feel like putting in the effort to research it. Malachite_Dragon posted:It's the first computer I've ever built all on my own

I contacted Microsoft support because of an issue I'm having with Windows Movie Maker. There wasn't a support option for that particular product so I went to the general Windows one and asked the representative if they could help me with my problem. A loving hour later, after an incredibly frustrating conversation in which they would not give a simple or direct answer to any question, I finally established that the answer was "No, I can't help you with that."

ilysespieces posted:On the opposite side of the spectrum, besides one blurry picture back when we first started dating after the Barber hosed up, I've literally never seen my husband's bare face the entire 5+ years we've been together. He's had at the very least a goatee, nothing less, so I have no idea what his baby face looks like. I want him to shave it all but we're both afraid he'll look like a giant toddler. Beards don't take that long to grow back, you know.

Brightman posted:Despite having a newish gaming PC and running poo poo amazingly I super dislike the "pc master race" stuff. Mainly because anytime it comes up in earnest someone mentions all the tweaks that have to be made for games at launch in ini files and driver updates and poo poo, and the "pc master race" denies that's a thing. We all know very well that the majority of the time it's a thing

Brightman posted:Not just inis but driver bullshit, don't forget the driver bullshit. Also this is dependent on your hardware and maybe the threshold you have for janky mouse acceleration, fov, etc. Last ini I had to gently caress with was Fallout 4. Similar things happened with GTA5, and Batman is a whole...thing. So no, that's not my problem, my problem is people acting like this isn't something that exists. Pretty sure, for most people, it isn't something that exists.

Brightman posted:What's the last game you played at launch that "just work" as you put it? I have an i7-4790k, 16 gigs of ram, 970 gtx and still had to twiddle with Fallout's inis, because regardless of being able to run it at a solid 60 at max settings, the fov was still 80 with forced mouse acceleration. Is PC the best? Unquestionably. Is it perfect? gently caress. No. Most of them. Like, I have no idea whether any game I play runs at 60FPS or what the FOV is or what mouse acceleration does, and I'm pretty sure most people who play games are the same. That's some hardcore nerd poo poo. I used to make sure the screen resolution was right, but most games now just have that automatically detected, so I just leave the settings on the defaults and play the game.

Google Maps is a huge pain in the arse to use now. It used to be much more straight-forward and easy to make it do what I wanted. I can't even figure out how to get some things to work that I used to be able to do, like showing the map side-by-side with street view.
