Tiggum posted: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. True, but it makes sense in my head. Like gift=something special, not the $15 frying pan I was trying to get. Plus there's some emotional stuff because of the person who gave it to me and I would feel crappy if I used their gift on said $15 frying pan.

I need to go to IKEA again because I forgot to get some items last time I went, but it's far away and I hate driving. 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. I want a new coat and shoes but mine are in good condition so I would feel guilty and stupid getting new ones, but I don't like this coat or these shoes anymore. E: remembered Blue Story and realized I should not buy unneeded items. Thin Privilege has a new favorite as of 18:43 on Oct 20, 2015 |

Of course, as expected, I forgot to buy some stuff at IKEA so I have to go back. I solved my fwp of nothing to listen to in the car by downloading Pandora, but the free version has ads and the sound quality sucks. Haven't tried Spotify yet because I don't drive that often, so I don't know how well that will work.

So I went back to IKEA and saw a thing that I wanted because it could replace a thing of furniture I don't like, but I hadn't measured the space at home so I didn't get the thing. Now I got home and measured, and it would fit PERFECTLY. But now I have to go back to IKEA yet again. Also I got a set of silverwear but then I went to my parents house and realized I already had a set in their basement, but I don't want to return the IKEA one, it's only $7 but now I have two sets of silverware and I feel like a hoarder. OH and also they don't have a lamp I want (GRÖNÖ) and it'll be out of stock until mid-November so I'll have to go back to IKEA yet yet yet again to get it. So overall I have at least 2 future ikea trips planned. On the plus side I'll be breaking out the hammer drill to install poo poo into solid concrete/brick walls

Maybe I should use Command hooks. I don't know. It's basically just a super power drill and you would use special drill bits. But yeah I wouldn't drill either if you're renting and especially if you haven't used a hammer drill before. Hmmm I actually should pick up some new bits but that means I have to go to Home Depot and look through their ginormous bit section

I tried to call Chase about my credit card and it was literally 20 or more ads one after the other until I gave up but I'm sure it went on even more. CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE WON! SWITCH TO T-MOBILE! Etc. Un-loving-believable. I tried to press 0 but some robot came on and said "you tried to use the keypad when you weren't supposed to" and it went back to the ads. Finally I gave up and called the business line and got a normal menu but holy poo poo, what the hell? If you want some special offers go ahead and call 1-888-247-4080 you'll get a million of them. E: oh yeah and my avatar randomly changed to this piece of poo poo and I'm really upset. Like did someone buy it for me? Couldn't they have bought red text instead?

Tiggum posted:We've had chip and PIN cards here for years and I've never heard of anyone having this problem. The RFID ones we've got now are even better. Any one I've used here you have to stick the card in ONLY at the end of the transaction, not during, and if you pull it out before its done authorizing the machine gets all angry and you have to wait for it to reload. This TJs one was exceptionally lovely though. E: scratch that the Target ones are fine but I have a Red card so maybe that's why. Every other store, though. Also there's the issue where some stores take the chip and some don't, but they all have the machines with the chip reader so there's always a ton of confusion, for example you stick the card in and the cashier says "chip doesn't work here" or you swipe the card and actually you have to use the chip.

I'm cleaning out my house and throwing away old junk, and there's some stuff I don't want but is probably worth something, and also cost a decent amount to begin with, so I don't want to just throw them out, but I also don't feel like going through the effort of selling them online. I went to some extended family Christmas dinner because it's free food but I don't know anyone and am awkward because I'm a goony goon, so I'm sitting here on SA.

Poldarn posted:Cats. You love them, feed them, give them a place to stay, play with them, brush them, and snuggle them. They pay you back by peeing in your dryer. Before I realized what the problem was my one cat would pee/poo poo everywhere but her favorite places were clean laundry and the stove. The stove was an electric one with exposed coils, so there was an exhaust pipe from the oven going up through one of the burners. I spent hours cleaning it and thought I got it all, so I went to make a pie, but upon the oven heating up the whole house got this horrific smell of cooking ammonia and cat poo poo so noxious I had to open every single window all the way and it still took hours to go away. I literally thought I was going to die. I had to get a whole new stove, with a ceramic top. poo poo is expensive and hard to maintain, and if it scratches, there's no way to fix it. AND I didn't realize it at the time of purchase but this particular model doesn't have a timer that shuts the oven off so I ended up cooking a pizza for like 3 hours. It was black. But why the gently caress doesn't a supposedly fancy, expensive oven have this as a basic feature?

Another problem: I really can't deal with my neighbors anymore. For 6 years I had no one occupying the apartment next to me. This apartment's kitchen shares a wall with my bedroom. Last year, some people moved in and every night between 7-11pm they cook something so amazingly delicious smelling that I drool all night. They must be professional chefs. Sometimes it's Indian food, sometimes it's chicken soup, frequently it's Hispanic food, and last night it was tortillas. It's so strong. I tried opening the window but it just made it worse, maybe because their window was open too. Then they reheat it in the morning. I am so hungry constantly even though I'm not actually hungry. The week of Christmas was so awesome because they were on vacation and I didn't have to smell it. This is the weirdest neighbor problem I think.

My graphics card is only 1GB so my games run shittily. I really shouldn't complain because for being a 3.5 year old mac laptop, the games do run fine on my windows partition, and I even connected my PS4 controller to work with them. But... I want to be able to put the settings on something more than "minimum". And not that I would do it anyways, but it would be stupid to build a gaming PC because I need the Apple OS for programs and poo poo, and you can't customize a mac so you're stuck with whatever garbage they decide is good, and I wouldn't want to try a hackintosh if that's even possible anymore.

I got sick of the constant UPGRADE pop ups so I got windows 10 and now nothing works. Now I have to spend 1000 hours figuring out what's wrong. Ughghhhhhh Oh and it's a Mac so there's no Ethernet without a thunderbolt adapter but I don't think that can even work on the windows side so I'm stuck downloading everything over wifi, which is super slow.

Overminty posted:You can disable the uprgrade prompts by unistalling the windows update that put it there in the first place. You can then tell windows to "hide" it when it tries to reinstall it later. Awesome, thanks. There's still the problem that someday--hopefully not soon--that Microsoft will stop support for Windows 7 and then I'll be forced to upgrade. And/or I'll have to pay for it. Upgrading to Maverics on mac was a little sucky and some minor stuff broke, but not massively like win 10, and I have way more programs and garbage on the Mac side than I do on the Windows side. And it's not User Error because I repaired computers for a while hence know what I'm doing. Windows has always sucked rear end. Oh and gently caress that "cortana" thing, it doesn't even properly replace the search, and the top results were always some ad from loving YAHOO! of all places. Why the gently caress is Yahoo! Integrated with win 10??? E: and I love win 10 setup where it tries to trick you into allowing them to send data to advertisers by writing out a long essay to explain some bs expecting that most people will be annoyed and lazy and hit "skip/next/express settings" and making the "customize" link tiny, but hitting express just says "yes" to "allow advertisers and Microsoft to collect my data." Oh and there's no real equivalent to Little Snitch on Windows. I got a similar program but it's nowhere near as good. Windows  I swear I'm not some hipster apple loving loser, I would prefer to use Windows but it just sucks so much rear end in so many ways.

I've been complaining about my neighbors making tasty smelling food. Due to jealousy, I've started cooking more stuff from scratch (usually I just eat salads and a TV dinner for lunch but now I'm making legit food), but it is coming out really tasty because it's very Russian-style (lots of butter) so I'm eating a lot, and now I'm going to get fat. Oh also I have trouble measuring how much food to make because I learned from my grandmother, and we cooked for 10 people at a time, so I always buy and make too much food. I made a dish today but there's a ton left, and I was planning on making cabbage and sausages but there's too much of what I made today so it's unreasonable to make more food. I'm worried the sausages will go bad before I get a chance to make them. E2: I really want those cabbage and sausages but I'm super full.

Before anyone asks I'm allergic to the pesticides and they apparently seeped into the banana. This doesn't always happen, in fact is pretty rare with bananas so I'm also slightly irritated that it happened this time.

I booted it up ready to look for my dead gay son and it turns out it only downloaded the SPECIAL videos that play while it downloads 26 more gigs of game. Because it downloads via FO4 and not the PS downloader, i cant play any other games while waiting because FO4 has to run to download the game. Are you sure about that? It should be downloading in the background whether the game is on or not, you can see the actual progress if you go to system storage management/applications and get info on FO4. E: it wouldn't make sense to have it only download through the game because then everyone who preordered would be downloading at the same time, but it was already downloaded when midnight hit so I didn't have to wait at all to play.
