Celery Face posted:The A&W's around here have really gone downhill. They water down the root beer and use paper bags instead of foil for the burgers. The root beer is the only reason to go (also, cheese curds). Watering it down is criminal. The only one near us is also a Long John Silver's and they don't have a root beer keg or sell root beer by the gallon.

Our microwave went out last week. We have a home warranty, so for $75 someone is supposed to come out and fix it. Instead he told us that it was not a fixable issue and that we'd need to get a new microwave. That's okay, the home warranty company will replace it for us. That $75 covers repair or replacement when repair isn't possible. They sent us an email asking for specs on our microwave, which we dutifully provided. It took them five days to call us with an offer. I went over the specs and saw that the model they were offering was missing features that we had. So they went back and found another model that meets our features (it's even slightly better due to how the features are bundled) and offered that one instead. We accepted. It will be another week before we get it. We'll be two weeks without a microwave in the kitchen. I had to heat up left over vegetables on the stovetop like a savage. I had to thaw out frozen fish in the sink! Lunch has been sandwiches because we can't just throw some soup or whatever in the microwave; I refuse to cook soup from a can in a pot on principle. We have a really nice microwave downstairs (stainless steel, 1250W), but I'm not going up and down the stairs just to heat something up.

Pro-tip for next time: save the bags for two weeks before taking it to Goodwill. That should be enough time for you to pull out the items you aren't ready to part with. Alternatively, but new stuff.

BioEnchanted posted:The weather is getting far too hot over in england, and because of the heat the hot water tap gets way hotter way faster. Where before it would warm up over a couple of minutes and result in a decent dishwashing temp by the time the basin was full, now it starts at too hot and needs to be tempered with cold water and leaving it for a bit to cool or it's scalding hot. Where is your hot water heater that the ambient temperature has that much of an impact? On the roof? Edit: no sarcasm. I am genuinely curious. We had a hot water heater in an unventilated room off of our carport while living the US Mid-south and we didn't have problems with the air temp messing up the water temp.

Flipperwaldt posted:If your water heater is tankless, ambient temperature makes a big difference. As an American, I prefer to waste vast amounts of energy on hot water I won't even use. Also, gently caress fluorescent bulbs; they take a few extra seconds, sometimes as many as 30, to get to full luminosity. That is unacceptable. My real FWP is that the Internet connection from my ISP to my house is far faster than the connections inside my house so I don't get the full benefit of the ultra-highspeed I am paying for. It comes in at 100 / 5, but I get more like 50 / 2 in my house. Dumb old cables and last gen WiFi.

Also, I've wanted Taco Bell for a week but haven't felt like driving the extra 5 minutes out of my way to get it. The nicer McDonald's near me closed down six months ago. It had been in business for more than 30 years. Now where will I go to get overly sweet tea and food designed to trick my mouth into thinking it tastes good? Finally, we get so many packages in the mail that the post office has stopped giving us mail bins. They just dump them on the front porch and let us drag them in.

Sweet As Sin posted:I have never had a hot pocket. Are they good? Barring being sick of them. They have Hot Pockets for every taste! Breakfast, lunch, dinner, croissant crust, buttery crust, deli style meats, lean varieties. If you have a college-student's refined palate, they are perfect. I eat them because they are easy and often on sale. They taste like junk food. If you like junk food, you will like Hot Pockets. I still eat crap like this because I grew up with two parents who worked 6 days a week and didn't cook much. I get all nostalgia-y over horrible junk food like Hot Pockets, chicken strips, Steak-Ums, etc. Hamburger Helper was a rare treat. I guess being a latch-key kid is a first world problem if you live in America. I did have to break into my own house once because I forgot my key and gently caress sitting outside for four hours in my school clothes with my books and poo poo. But I'm white so it was no big deal if anyone saw me jimmying open a window. It was before ubiquitous cell phones so it's not like I could call anyone. My biggest first world problem today is that I work from home and have worked from home for almost 10 years. I have no RL friends because my co-workers live two or more state's away. Between that and my wife's health problems, the people we have the closest relationships with are her doctors. At least I have good insurance through work and enjoy my job.

Her husband is a trans woman now? If so, and she's taking hormones, that's gonna gently caress up the chances at getting pregnant.

Golli posted:If asexual means an absence of interest in sexual activity, is she wanting to adopt, or has she changed her mind on being asexual? Based on the description, asexual may just mean she doesn't want to have sex with her partner but is too committed to look outside the relationship. It's sad all around and if "hey I'm trans gender" or "hey I'm asexual" aren't extremely good reasons to be able to amicably end a relationship, I don't know what is. But no, let's hang on for the child--oh, never mind.

Cowslips Warren posted:Update on my friend demanding a baby: her husband went to his parents to talk to them, and was promptly ordered by his mom to see the loving light, have a baby like any adult would, and give her a grandchild because all her other grandkids are 8-10 years old and she wants a baby to grandmother over. Your friend and husband have an incredibly dysfunctional relationship. Wow. "Let's have a baby because my mom wants a grandchild" is not a good reason. Why would your friend celebrate that? Her husband's parents basically told him that they don't give a poo poo what his reasons are for not wanting a kid, just have a baby for their sake. Maybe he knows he'll be a terrible father (because that's all he knows) and doesn't want to subject a new life to it? And "like any adult would" is also terrible advice. Two adults in a crap marriage should not have a baby, period. Your friend and her husband may be nice people, but they are dumb when it comes to what raising a child actually means. If they don't like each other now, a kid will probably just amplify that. I guess they can just farm the kids off the the grandparents since that's apparently what they want. Sorry to get to worked up, but I hate it when babies and children are treated like objects or accomplishments and not a tiny human that needs love and support.
