Title: What do you depise AT THIS MOMENT, literally....
Post by: esteban on August 28, 2013, 06:03:31 PM
I'm not asking for grande philosophical diatribes. I do not want your pre-packaged, rehearsed rant.
I'm talking about, literally, THIS VERY MOMENT...
Personally, I am fasting for a goddamn blood test. I WANT TO EAT RIGHT NOW, but I can't. I should go to sleep, but I have this stupid desire to stay up and watch crapaggio on television.
I HATE THIS.
I know, people are dying in the world. I know.
But I still hate this. 7am... 7am...

depise (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_de_Pise): Tour de Pise (66°40′S 140°1′ECoordinates: 66°40′S 140°1′E) is an isolated rock dome, 27 m, which protrudes through the ice in northwest Rostand Island in the Geologie Archipelago. Charted in 1951 by the French Antarctic Expedition and named by them for the famous Tower of Pisa.

I also despise flatbed scanners for having a lip around the scanning surface (flat my ass) and game magazines for wiggling a few degrees when a scanner's lid is closed.
This is SO TRUE! The plastic lip is totally in the way (creates a shadow! On oversize stuff), but the SHIFTING is so annoying. You can be so CAREFUL placing original on the platen (ha!), yet the page will shift 0.2 degrees. 0.2 degrees that have to be fixed in PhotoShop. 0.2 degrees because WHY!?

So far the city's new "Smart Card" public transit system... "Presto".
Where to start... 1) You can put money/monthly pass on the card online! It might take 24 to 48 hours for the funds to become available... Oh, but that's not all, you need to zap the card on the bus within 30 days after those 24-48 hours in order to actually transfer that cash on the card. In the mean time, there is NO record of that purchase aside from some e-mails.
2) If you're not using a monthly pass, you need to squint to see the tiny text that says how much is left on the card or how much time you have left on your "transfer".
3) If there is ever a problem and you need a refund, it can take months before you actually get anywhere. Not to mention they have one of the worst automated phone systems I ever had to navigate. You can't skip long messages and are forced to listen to these innane long announcements saying to go to the website, set up automatic payments (fat chance!), it can take 24 to 48 hours for payments to go through, etc. After spending a good 15 minutes navigating somewhere, you can't go back to the previous menu if you make a wrong selection (or heaven forbid want to do something totally INSANE like check your balance *AND* report an issue with said balance)... but you can check your balance twice, I think. You need to hang up, and spend another 15 minutes.

It has always been a small dream of mine to work in consumer protection because of shit like this. Why, when you spend the money are you also forced to do all the work and just "live" with the shitty process. Dont get me started.

Hahhahahaahaha! Eye doctor (optometrist?)
ANECDOTE THAT BELONGS IN ANOTHER THREAD: I just had a physical. My male doctor, older dude who I really like because he's awesome, asks me, "An intern/medical student/whatever, is working with me to gain practical experience...do you mind if intern joins us?"
Well, I hate going to the doctor because I'm overly-self-conscious and awkward, so of course I give a hearty, "Sure, no problem." A few minutes later...
CUTE WOMAN ENTERS ROOM WITH DOCTOR.
Long story short: I'm trying not to laugh the entire exam because I'm in boxers and I know the doctor's gonna grab my balls at some point, FULL FRONTAL. It was definitely more fun/exciting with the cute lady in room, but I was definitely no Rico Suave. Nervous laughter.

Post by: tggodfrey on August 29, 2013, 10:05:30 AM
Easy way to break the akwardness is when the doctor does his thing, look at the intern and ask her if she comes here often? If she doesnt at least chuckle then just imagine bouncing your balls off her cheek.

8:29 a.m. and I am wondering how ANYONE in the universe can drink this "autumnal pumpkin flavored" coffee that my wife wanted me to buy. I searched the pantry and we don't have any other coffee (whole bean). All we have is this ground pumpkin flavored garbage.
DECISION: I will make goddamned tea instead. Even though my wife told me that tea is horrible (tons of pesticide & company involved in harvesting/storing most tea).

I've never been fond of sweet tastes in coffee or tea.

MySQL
EDIT: Not so much MySQL as much as how every Wordpress theme and plugin seems to interface with MySQL differently. I'm currently in the process of resurrecting an old site I built and moving it to a sub-domain of my website and in theory it should be a simple task of search and replace for the domain name in the database, but noooOOOOooo... a bunch of settings have been stored in what MySQL considers its cache so it's not properly backed up.
Having gotten that off my chest, I'd work with Wordpress over Drupal or (heaven forbid) Joomla any day of the week.

I know this to well right now. My dog Cecil (mini Dachshund) just had to have 2 surgeries due to herniated disk in his back. He can't move his back legs at all right now because of spinal bruising. Hopefully he heals up in a few weeks. But it has set me and my g/f back over 7k so far. But i love him to death, and couldn't think to just put him down. Hes only 4 years old. Still my baby

But I really can't complain since my friend gave me the headphones for free and they sound a lot better than my last pair of $5 crappies.
Why can't I have nice things? When I spent $50 on a nice-sounding pair of headphones years ago, I accidentally ripped the cord out.
Holy crap, my ears are burning now.

Mine is high becuase its personal and I have an S-Corp LLC (for skydiving and Automotive work). When I was just doing my personal taxes I used to use TurboTax and it was fine. Although the price is high, the accountants are ex-skydivers so everything we are filing they have knowledge of and can manipulate the ways the expenditures are filed to maximize the returns. A few of us have done them on our own first then went to see how the accountants did and the returns by far did make it worth it. Plus on the side note that price includes any meeting I request and any Audits ect. I still hate having to do it though.

My office uses AT&T for their internet connection and it went down this morning. It's been down all day. My workday was a complete waste so I went home to finish the work I needed to get done.
...and now I despise Weblink. The database client I have at work won't install on my home computer. So now I'm going to have to either (a) get it working on my home computer tomorrow if their tech support can fix the issue ( I'm supposed to have the day off) or (b) drive 30 miles to my office and get the work done there (that's assuming the internet is up and running again over there).

Dudes holding up common loose bullshit and saying "This is a 'HUCARD' game, which is like a cartridge on a card..." or "This is for the FAMICOM, which is the Japanese Nintendo." Well, no shit genius.

I will openly admit that 95% of the time when someone posts a video in a finds thread I will just skip it. I agree that pictures and text are a lot faster to go through than a video, plus I can just scroll and stop if something catches my eye.
I personally try to write a little bit about there why/how I grab particular stuff so others can read if they care, but it's mainly for my own desire to document that particular find so I can remember where I got it if I'm looking back at stuff.

I have historically avoided the "what shit did you f*cking tarts buy today?, you f*cking twats" thread because I was jealous.
Then, desperate for conversation, I started reading it and commenting every once in a blue moon.
But, basically, f*ck you all.

I look at that "what did you buy" thread now and then to see if maybe there is a game out there that I missed that I may want to try, and make a mental note of it. I just kinda treat it with the same mentality as I would when I jump on to read an HG101 article about stuff I may not have seen or played yet.

Outside of the lack of quality in editing or knowledge about what they're posting at times, I guess some watch their videos on youtube to show proof that there still are goodies to be had in the wild?
It is different here - we know what we're talking about. Lack of knowledge about source material is the real reason I can't stand these "pickups" videos. A bunch of dudes waste their Saturdays running around to thrift shops and swap meets, just so they can come home and video tape themselves with their loose copies of Hot Wheels Racing All Stars and <insert random shitty common U.S. Genesis game>. Games that they'll probably never even fire up. Don't get why they even bother purchasing them, other than to add a "+1" to their collection total.

People who can't cross the street like normal f*cking human beings. :evil:
I have to drive through a part of "the hood" on my way to and from work, and for some reason even the simple task of crossing the street can't be done properly in this part of town. I was always under the impression that crossing from one side of the street to the other was a cut and dry exercise; (there's even a joke about a f*cking chicken doing it without incident) you wait for traffic to clear, then you go across, 90 degrees straight ahead, from the sidewalk to the other side. Not only does this get you safely to the other side, but it minimizes the time you're on the street.
But lo and behold, the ghetto has this concept f*cked up beyond all reason. #-o Why the hell are people not only crossing the street as cars go by, but taking an ETERNITY to do it??? One guy crossed the street caddy corner for length of half a block. Why? He could've walked down the sidewalk to where he needed to cross and done it there, but he didn't. Now traffic has to avoid him as it passes which means damn near straddling the center line and squeezing oncoming traffic. In the event someone inadvertently hits that a$$hole, they're on the hook for it. :evil: Another guy was just walking in the street. Perfectly good sidewalk ready for use, and the stupid f*cker decides to walk up the street a foot out from the curb. ](*,)

We have something like that here where they think they own the f*cking road and walk down the middle of the street holding their dicks (no really its how they walk holding their dicks) with a gangster lean. Maybe that's why it takes so long? this pimp limp they got going on is impeding their stride? It pisses me off even more when you stop to let some cross and the take all f*cking day to do it. If someone stops for me to cross I make it a point to wave a thank you and hurry to cross as to not further hold up traffic. Get a f*cking clue people the road is for cars not douche bags to walk on.

On my way to work I always pass by the unemployment office. I feel so bad when I say this... but the reason 85% of the people there are unemployed is because they can't even figure out how to cross the street. It is literally a shit show every day and I am going to kill someone someday.
The other thing that happens at the same intersection is that cars on a one way street that is 3 lanes wide ALWAYS turn left into a parking ramp... FROM THE CENTER LANE! This, added with the mine field of people in the street, makes my drive a horrifying adventure every day.

(there's even a joke about a f*cking chicken doing it without incident)
Why did the chicken cross the road? Answer: to get to the OTHER SIDE I really don't think the chicken did it without any incidents... that's my interpretation of the "joke" anyway. I always thought it was a pun because the chicken might get killed if there is any incoming traffic while crossing the street.

If I was selling something for hundreds, yes. But the cost of gas & the border crossing fees (both ways) for most things I've sold would cost more than the international shipping. Plus the time involved, f*cking terrorists ruined a lot of things.

I was so upset because I usually have everything in plastic bins but I was storing all of this stuff in cardboard boxes at the bottom of a closet that shared a wall with the bathroom.
I spread out all the magazines and game manuals in front of 6 fans in an effort to dry things out, but you can't reverse water damage.

good luck with that insurance fight. I've yet to win one of those. I'm going to call it now: you didn't opt for the additional "appliance failure water damage to crawlspace" rider when creating the policy, but they would be happy to sell it to you now so you'll be covered for any future incidents.

Individuals who list tg16 games as "CIB" or "COMPLETE" when they are in fact only "CIC".
I depise the hell out of those individuals.
Yes, they should totally say "missing outer box" and such, unless maybe they don't know err something?
To be fair, it can be a bit confusing if one isn't familiar with how the TG-16 games were released. An easy thing to keep in mind is all chip games had an outer cardboard box, Most (All?) of the normal CD games had boxes. None of the Super CD games had boxes.
Don't hold me to all that, though. All I know for sure, is if I se a CD titles, I can say whether it had a box or not, :)
Oh, another odd one is Ys 1 and 2. There was a pack-in version (Slightly different art on the game CD, no cardboard box.), and then there was the retail version with the cardboard box and map.
*edited to add - Also, some sellers probably don't care about listing it as complete, even though there is no cardboard box. I've seen some use a stock photo of the box, and I see how that confuses some people who read, "Complete", see the stock photo, etc. I noticed the labels from someone here are being sold on ebay, and people are selling TG-16 cases for games that never had them, so that probably confuses some people.

Anyway, since I posted above, I'll add to this.
I hate when I order a used book (Some stuff is OOP or much cheaper used, so, I buy used.), and they arrive to me either damaged by the post office, due to packaging usually, or they are not in described condition, missing pages, etc.
Slight damage can bother me a bit, but if it doesn't cause issues reading it, and without said damage from shipping would have matched seller's description, OK, I can live with it, I just think to myself, "Yeah, without that busted corner that book would have been in great shape. Some big used book sellers package most of their books in what is basically a plastic bag. Sometimes they arrive ok, sometimes a bit banged up, however once I had a book snapped in half due to packing like that.
Missing pages, items way different from the description, I contact the seller, and usually we reach an agreement.
Still, it's time consuming, and I dislike dealing with it. I am dealing with something like that right now.

Literally in the vag and ruining the wood floors in my house and getting in my eyes and never being able to get all the goddamn grains out of my kids' shoes, etc. etc. etc.
I wish I was joking.
Oh, yeah—sand poured into the bubble maker (I turned away for only a few moments) totally destroys it. I JUST BOUGHT THE BUBBLE MAKER. It was running great. BRAND NEW.
BRAND NEW.

they are designed to fail. It is an evil conspiracy by the bubble maker makers union. I have tried half a dozen models, and only one has endured more than a few bubble sessions. And it needs refilled every 2-3 minutes, thus perpetuating my desire to buy larger and more expensive bubble makers.
Don't go chasing bubblemakers, sometimes just gotta let them go...

Hey, I rented that recently. Wasn't sure if I wanted to, but I figured you couldn't go wrong with Jeff Bridges (bombs like R.I.P. notwithstanding). It was whacky fun to say the least! Quite the ending with Goodman even botching the spreading of the ashes! Heh.
I guess I have my own rant to add come to think of it for right at this moment. I was just looking at the above HG101 article again where my criminal, backstabbing, libelous, cock-flashing Ys translator, Jeff "DeuceBag" Nussbaum (https://www.facebook.com/moriyamug ) took an interview with none other than Psycho John Schizomaniak, who as we know is facing a libel lawsuit himself by the Metal Gear Solid 2 translator, Agness Kaku, her husband Pete and Agness' sister, etc. I've been in contact with Pete, heard his side, and I surely do hope John is brought to justice in a French court of law assuming he didn't make it back to the UK since he has dual residences apparently.
So yeah, I was reading that interview again with B.J.DeuceBag, as I feel I have to respond to correct his libel/distortions of history eventually, and just thinking to myself, why oh why didn't I tell the motherf--ker to go f--k himself back in 2002 when I first met him and just stick with Shimarisu/Rachel when it came to having to work with a translator for the Ys I Complete fan translation project ??? It almost happened too! Events could've turned out differently because of one decision!
B.J.DeuceBag wanted a stipulation that I couldn't edit his translated results without going through him on each edit, and I said "Well, I'm sorry, but that's too restrictive, I reject such terms; I want to be able to edit at will, get a result like Working Designs or something, combine translations from multiple people to get the best results, etc. I'll have to reject your work and continue with Shimarisu." Unfortunately, the bastard then backed off his demand, so we continued to work on Ys projects ever since! A decision that led to the criminal cheat eventually getting to be credited on 3 official PSP carts and 4 PC Steam releases, this off of my back, my work hours, my sacrifices, my IP/translation software, my technical ideas, etc. only for him to suddenly play stupid (no direct contact) for 3 years (after knowing me for 8 ), taking 100% credit/100% profit from this XSEED Games (www.xseedgames.com (http://www.xseedgames.com/)) and even repaying me with a f--king interview like this! I can't contain my utter disgust for him, and I'm so ashamed of myself for not being able to have seen what a monster he was all along, failing to judge his character for what it was! That's something I gotta live with for the rest of my life...
I named this interview "The $550 Dollar Libel by B.J.DeuceBag, X.X.XSEED's Criminal, Cock-flashing Cunt!" Heh. Here's my rationale in part:
1) It was conducted by Psycho John first of all (a buddy of Thomas "wyrdwad" Lipschultz), who libeled me before on HG101 himself only for Kurt Kalata to have to delete it cause of his clear cut false stories/lies when it came to dubbing Ys IV. As mentioned, a genuine libel lawsuit was brought against him and will be decided on Sept. 11 : http://versusjs.blogspot.jp/
2) Just as before, I was never contacted by John to confirm/deny/explain anything said about me, I'd have no spot to respond to anything inflammatory, equal time if you will, and this ALMOST made it into a videogame magazine of all things! This garbage would've been printed in an issue of GamesTM, but thank God somebody left it on the cutting room floor as I'm sure John lobbied for its inclusion!
3) Despite DeuceBag's claims, I continued with Ys projects, there was only one left, Ys Origin, and I prepared a copy of my Translation Station software with additional enhancements to give him full control/editing/testing and run-time script dumping for better translating. A nice investment for him that also paid off with XSEED Games once again! True, it took some weeks for me to do it, I thought I was going to quit at the time but he begged, offered to pay me even, but in the end it was a 75/25% royalty split agreement if I'd make a payware version out of it. Anyway, he's instead got me plotting endlessly for "years" regarding the Felghana patch leaker, a wild distortion, when he knows that I simply had to quit fan translation projects for years, worry about offline matters, get my priorities straight. I had a remodeling project that cost me $20,000 that I was working on, and this a$$hole puts my history down as just chasing the leaker around, time not in years, but 2-3 weeks back in 2007 and a few days 2 years later! His whole f--king speech here is a "message" to me to rationalize him punishing and cheating me with XSEED. He's exaggerating time, playing up what he knew was a bluff, all to demonize and justify his secret breaking of agreements on Ys Origin, and ultimately cheating me when it came to XSEED Games. At this point, he's playing silent with me a year later after the first XSEED deal.
4) Back in 2007, after he got married we were talking about life and so forth, I also learned of his prior bankruptcy, etc., well, I decided to give him $550 via Paypal... LITERALLY, 2ND GREATEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE! Hell, I look at this interview and I wonder what the motherf--ker would've said if I had NOT done that!!! Wow! I knew this f--king a$$hole for 8 years, talked with his wife even when my father had died, thought he was a "friend" but I can see now that that wasn't a mutual view and he didn't even bat an eye when it came to stepping on me the way that he did! His response to all this now is: "Cry me a river."
Ultimately, I paid/subsidized/funded in full this disgusting hit piece/interview both in blood/sweat and money! a) The $550 direct to this callous, criminal, cock-flashing cunt, and b) the thousands of work hours from 2002 to 2007, across 5 years, for Japanese script extraction/preparation of Ys I & II Complete, Felghana, Ys Origin, etc, the technical ideas to even make possible translating ~1500 separate script files feasible/doable and reflected in custom software I call Translation Station, etc. All of which led to the success of him getting to sneak into my software one last time, and port the translated results to XSEED Games, get paid 100%, get credited 100%, then play stupid with me for 3 years, only to come out of hiding and threaten ME with a libel lawsuit after I went public with the full story!
Imagine, at the time of this interview, it's like a year after the May 15, 2010 Felghana deal with XSEED Games, he's getting away with it, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with a commercial entity that he's essentially stealing all for himself without a 2nd thought, meanwhile I'm too disgusted to ever directly contact him either, I'm trying to forget that it happened, but this motherf--ker decides to add to the injustice, to compound it with this libelous interview that could've made it into a videogame magazine in print! "I've cheated this guy, I pretty much have gotten away with it, I know, lemme trash him in an interview for a gaming magazine to boot! Brilliant! He'll never get to respond or correct anything! History will be what I say it is!!" WHAT A GUY!
You can surely bet if I won that $100,000 that John's ex did, the first item on the spending agenda would be for a lawsuit to him, and to Thomas "wyrdwad" Lipschultz and Ken Berry of XSEED Games, the other criminal cheating and bigoted cunts in this whole affair!

I have tried cutting caffeine cold-turkey (just for fun, to see if I could), but I think I've had withdrawal headaches. MIGRAINE. sucks.
But, I also have diarrhea, which shouldn't be part of caffeine withdrawal (I don't think so, anyway), so maybe I've had food poisoning the past 36+ hours?

The amount of labor involved in making preserves scared me off years ago. Also, the sheer mountains of sugar required!
But, now I'm curious to see if these damn things are edible by humans. The birds friggin' love them.
Also, I have tons of Black Walnut trees. I single-handedly feed hundreds of squirrels, courtesy of these friggin' trees.
I HATE WHEN A PERFECTLY PEACEFUL CALM IS VIOLENTLY SMASHED INTO OBLIVION BY A BLACK WALNUT PLUMMETING ONTO THE ROOF OF MY HOUSE/CAR.
It is the emotional equivalent of a gunshot mere inches from your ear whilst napping.
I reckon I could do domething with black walnuts, since I get bushels of them, but, to be honest, they are a complete mess (horribly overpowering perfume stench of the fruit, which promptly turns into a slimy black jelly after falling from tree. Honestly, this stuff must have been used as a BLACK DYE back in the day. I've stained so many clothes whilst doing hardwork.

I use to eat Mulberries all the time as a kid growing up in the country. I loved them. They're a nuisance though. If you get one Mulberry tree growing in your area (our neighbor has one that's almost a century old) then it will spread its children all over the place for miles. But, the locals seem to love the little buggers as they named a town after the tree.

Now if they would park in the boonies that would be one thing but the F'ers always park close. We have it bad here too.

The 5 day work week. I know it's an American tradition but I just need 3 days off to recuperate. Two isn't enough anymore. I'd rather work four 12- hour-days than five eight-hour-days.
i would love this. i used to work 4 ten hour shifts, and really enjoyed the 3 days off.

Discovering that SMS had Mortal Kombat 3 released on it and the poor turbob didn't even get MK1.
I read today that the exclusive rights to MK were offered to TTI (or whoever owned it at the time). Guess we know how that went...
Urban legend.
But TTI was forbade from pursuing MK from Accolade by NEC of Japan. "AMERICANS ARE SICK OF FIGHTING GAMES!"
I don't know but the article where this info originated from made it seem very believable. If only I could find it.

My buddies (the two other guys on the YouTube channel) just booked their tickets. I am SO jealous. I can get over the money hurdle of getting there and lodging but the wifey will be popping child #3 out around that time.
I agree with you 100% that one of the main draws for me would be the chance to meet Joe and Dave. Mainly Joe though. I love the NES but Dave might start talking about such inferior consoles as the SNES, N64 etc. and I don't think I could handle that.

yeah, screw state farm. They've denied the only claim I tried to file (water damage similar to yours), constantly raising rates, and hyper annoying smarmy up-sale tactics. They're cheap, though. I will give them that... but when you don't actually provide the product/service it is pretty easy to have low prices.
still wish my name was tron.
Sucks to be you then huh !? The excuse they gave was a miss communication between the offices what ever that means.The water damage happen back in june and it just took most of the summer,before it cleared.It's annoying how long it took and only now it will be finally taken care of.

I was eating this box of DOTS leftover from Easter that I found in my pantry. I finished them (or so I thought) but I could feel there was one more left in the box, but it was stuck to the inside of the box like it was f*cking glued to it or something.
No matter how much I shook the box it would not dislodge, so in my fury I ripped the box apart only to discover it was not even a full DOT, just like a turd of a DOT that was some tiny amount of candy stuck to the side.

I was eating this box of DOTS leftover from Easter that I found in my pantry. I finished them (or so I thought) but I could feel there was one more left in the box, but it was stuck to the inside of the box like it was f*cking glued to it or something.
No matter how much I shook the box it would not dislodge, so in my fury I ripped the box apart only to discover it was not even a full DOT, just like a turd of a DOT that was some tiny amount of candy stuck to the side. So, now I'm mad at the makers of DOTS because they raised my hopes and dashed them with this dingleberry of a DOT.
That's the worst.
I can think of no greater crime against humanity.

I hate that I need to buy a new pair of sandals/flip flops/whatever.
Harley Davidsons in particular. Stupid, obnoxiously loud, and annoying as all f*ck.
I don't mind motorcycles when they are quiet. But they usually never are. Harleys are so obnoxious, i completely agree. I shiver when i have to hear that roar going down the street.
Smaller, compact bikes that are quiet look fun. But otherwise i completely agree.

I would much rather be riding a loud ass Harley than anything else. There are too many f*cktards on the road that don't pay attention so maybe they would at least hear me coming. On the other hand you do have many riders that rev at any chance they can just because. There's a bunch of Harleys in my neck of the woods but it always seems to be the crotch rockets screaming down residential streets that wakes me up.

Everyone knows that Nullity's server code wasn't designed for 5+ users, but I didn't knew it also had problems with less than that.
LOL.
And esteban, hot glue, brother! I could make a video with the dozens of things I've fixed with it. Recently upgraded to a better $20 gun from Walmart - it's now 60 watts, heats up faster and has better tips.
But anyway, I fixed my favorite slippers with it today. Bonded everything, the fabric tears to the cushion and the Dr. Scholls insole for knee support which makes these pretty pain free for me to walk around inside with. I think a flat coat of glue could buy you some time with those sandals you like, but probably not the best case use for it. Worth a try though.

Duct tape bonds better/feels better than hot glue for the sandals. I love hot glue on lots of other applications, though. :)
The problem is that water seeps in through the duct tape and then the wet duct tape feels gross.

Bought a 32x with some games yesterday at a toy show. Everything was priced individually but when I asked about the unit the dealer pitched me a package deal that I was alright with. Everything works except for 1 game. What's really irritating to me though is that he had it priced as the most expensive individual game of the lot and was going on about how it's fun and harder to find and blah blah blah. What a slime ball. Also noticed the cart had been previously opened, or at least attempted by the markings in the plastic around one of the screw slots, using a screwdriver or something instead of a proper bit. So the guy obviously knew something was up.
If I paid the $30 this guy wanted alone for this specific game, took it home to find out it didn't work later on, I'd be really pissed.

That's great. But at some point you may find that a lack of a degree could hinder progress towards a higher paying position. My company recently instituted a degree requirement in order to qualify for any higher pay grade positions.

(£43k/$65k) I can go on for a line manager role by taking an internal exam and work based assessment but I cant be bothered really. Happy to coast. Maybe next year.

*scaling gets a pass if your retro game has NeoGeo quality graphics. It doesn't even need to be Metal Slug quality-like, hell even Success Joe would be enough. But of course almost no indie "retro" games are that good looking

One guy on Kijiji for example sells Game Cube Wave Bird controllers for $85, loose Pokemon games for $45, Smash Bros. 64 loose for $110? And has tons of copies. Really "grinds my gears".

I'm a Jehovah's Witness, does that mean you despise me? :-k Seriously though, I'm sure you don't despise me, despite my religious beliefs. We do the best we can to be respectful of others, but on the flip side of the coin, we're all imperfect, & some of us aren't as careful, or patient, etc. as others. We look at it as a life saving message(restoration of a paradise earth, humans returning to a perfect state that Adam & Eve flippin' screwed up on, resurrection of loved one's, destruction of the tyranny, removal of sickness & death etc.), so it's important to us, but obviously you have the right & free will to disagree, so, no worries.
We just follow Jesus example & figure out ways(whether it be door to door or otherwise) to reach people. We meet a lot of great people at the door that are really encouraging, some that even make the decision to become JW's themselves, & many who don't. In fact, that's how my dad's parents became Witnesses back in the 40's. One of the things that really bothered them was the teaching that people(including un-baptized babies) burn in hell forever, which we can't find a rational reason to believe in, in the Bible. The whole hellfire thing just doesn't add up to us. Just the fact that Revelation 20:14 says that "death & hell will be hurled into the lake of fire" tells us that the whole burning hell thing is made up, & that the lake of fire is just a figurative place(fire tends to represent destruction, not actual torment in the Bible)
Personally, since I'm not a morning person, I usually just knock, & don't even ring a doorbell till maybe 11, which is the time I'd love to sleep in to everyday, but, besides the door to door ministry, I also work for a living so....yeah, there's little sleeping in! :D Going door to door in general, is really fricken hard for most of us. I have various social anxieties I struggle with, mostly due to being bullied quite a bit back in school, which varied from that fact that I don't celebrate Christmas, Easter, etc., but also cuz I was born with a cleft palette & lip, which makes me look a little funny, but not as noticeable after 7 surgeries. So, yeah, I have a bit of a inferiority complex, but, the ministry is incredibly important to me, mainly cuz I care about people. Whether my beliefs are right or wrong is an entirely different issue. Even if it turned out I was wrong, I feel that at least what I was doing was for the right reason, which is love for people.
I apologize that they set the dog off. I'll go out on a limb & guess that it wasn't on purpose, as, in my experience, it's annoying to have dogs start barking it up while I'm at the door. Though, all the more so when we're talking with people at the door, cuz then it makes it harder to hear them, & them to hear us, etc.

Hey PD, I didn't know that about ya. Interesting, especially that you're long time bosom buddies with Old Rover. ;) Just likely avoid certain subjects I bet. Heh.
My 2 cents: The problem with door to door type solicitation is typically the fact that the people doing it lack charisma and are annoying - they may be passionate but are simply wrong for the job. Just like a shitty telemarketer calling you at home and pestering to sell you on something only in their case it is salvation via Le Jesus. There are Latter Day Saints in my neighborhood and what they do is send out their prettiest gals I noticed... Bit of a different strategy that one. Heh-heh.
Anyway, I see you felt the need to apologize for this to him but it is what it is. If you're gonna market something, whatever it is, send out people with charisma not awkward, annoying types lacking in social skills. Being well meaning, passionate is not enough. At the very least, know when no means no as far as when a person declines interest.

I'm a Jehovah's Witness, does that mean you despise me? :-k Seriously though, I'm sure you don't despise me, despite my religious beliefs. We do the best we can to be respectful of others, but on the flip side of the coin, we're all imperfect, & some of us aren't as careful, or patient, etc. as others. We look at it as a life saving message(restoration of a paradise earth, humans returning to a perfect state that Adam & Eve flippin' screwed up on, resurrection of loved one's, destruction of the tyranny, removal of sickness & death etc.), so it's important to us, but obviously you have the right & free will to disagree, so, no worries.
We just follow Jesus example & figure out ways(whether it be door to door or otherwise) to reach people. We meet a lot of great people at the door that are really encouraging, some that even make the decision to become JW's themselves, & many who don't. In fact, that's how my dad's parents became Witnesses back in the 40's. One of the things that really bothered them was the teaching that people(including un-baptized babies) burn in hell forever, which we can't find a rational reason to believe in, in the Bible. The whole hellfire thing just doesn't add up to us. Just the fact that Revelation 20:14 says that "death & hell will be hurled into the lake of fire" tells us that the whole burning hell thing is made up, & that the lake of fire is just a figurative place(fire tends to represent destruction, not actual torment in the Bible)
Personally, since I'm not a morning person, I usually just knock, & don't even ring a doorbell till maybe 11, which is the time I'd love to sleep in to everyday, but, besides the door to door ministry, I also work for a living so....yeah, there's little sleeping in! :D Going door to door in general, is really fricken hard for most of us. I have various social anxieties I struggle with, mostly due to being bullied quite a bit back in school, which varied from that fact that I don't celebrate Christmas, Easter, etc., but also cuz I was born with a cleft palette & lip, which makes me look a little funny, but not as noticeable after 7 surgeries. So, yeah, I have a bit of a inferiority complex, but, the ministry is incredibly important to me, mainly cuz I care about people. Whether my beliefs are right or wrong is an entirely different issue. Even if it turned out I was wrong, I feel that at least what I was doing was for the right reason, which is love for people.
I apologize that they set the dog off. I'll go out on a limb & guess that it wasn't on purpose, as, in my experience, it's annoying to have dogs start barking it up while I'm at the door. Though, all the more so when we're talking with people at the door, cuz then it makes it harder to hear them, & them to hear us, etc.
Ha!
I used to read Awake and Watchtower all the time because Witnesses paid weekly (or more) visits to my mom. She is Roman Catholic, but she enjoyed Bible study and developed a friendship with the lady. Also, since my mom was a "safe zone", our home became a de facto training ground for Witnesses who were just beginning missionary work (door-to-door). This meant that there were always 3-4 folks visiting my mom.
So, I was already staunchly atheist by this time (high school), but I thought it was hilarious that my living room was a JW Reading Room 2+ days a week.
Also, I actually am intrigued by religion, but I simply like to study it from a sociological perspective. So, even though Awake and Watchtower are not particularly earth-shattering, I enjoyed analyzing the contents...how did these publications try to make religion relevant in the 90's? What messages were emphasized?
When I moved to Southern California...I spent some Saturday mornings talking to Mormons and Witnesses making the rounds...just like my damn mom, except she wanted to explore her spirituality, and had no interest in doing so.
So, needless to say, I felt bad when I stopped talking to the elderly couple who used to stop by.
But I still read the copies of Awake and Watchtower they left in the door handle.
They knew.

No, but you don't sound like the typical assclown. Most of the J.W. peeps that've showed up on my doorstep were pushy, annoyingly persistant, and condescending, arguing that only their interpretation of the bible could possibly be correct.
Also, I'm not a fan of how they discourage interaction with outsiders, shun those that leave the church, and cover up perverts (not that they're any worse than catholics or any other religion, really).

In response to the JW related post on the prior page. My prolonged experience with JW's..... (and apologies in advance if any of it seems jumbled, it is a lot to recall)
My ex-in laws, WA and Virginia Burse, currently located in in South Carolina, are JW. WA was an elder or whatever at his prior kingdom hall. I don't know if he is at the current one. For about 5 years they constantly sided with and helped cover up the abuse my ex and her then husband committed on my kids. They lied in court during our divorce, and to DHS and the police after the divorce. I lived 3 hrs away, and on my weekend visits and summer visits the ex in laws would help clean the kids up and all so everything would look normal when I or my mom picked the kids up.
Only after my ex-wife managed to burn her own house down did my ex-mother in law finally have a change of heart and did what was right, and informed me as to what all was going on mid 2k5 (drug use, physical abuse, burglary).
I took back custody of the kids and started contacting the schools they attended prior to get records and found out from them that school staff reported my ex to DHS often for abuse and neglect (No one ever notified me of this, DHS or otherwise). After a bit of time more details emerged from my kids, they told my family in detail as to what all had happened to them. Way more then what my ex mother in law was evidently aware of.
While I wont get into the gritty details of all of the abuse, needless to say my ex fled the state because the police were contacted, she and her husband failed a polygraph, and warrants were then issued. My ex-inlaws moved out of state to avoid any embarrassment with people they knew, basically leaving my side of the family to be the ones to pick up the pieces. My ex-wifes husband was in jail for something unrelated when he took the poly test and failed, so he was kept in jail and prosecuted successfully fairly quickly.
During the next 6 years or so my ex mother in law and I stayed on what I felt were good/peaceful terms (we didn't argue), and I let the kids visit her during the summer in the spirit of just trying to patch things up and let everyone heal and move on. During this time she did send JW's she knew that were in our area to kinda sorta spy on us. If we didn't return a phone call from her in like 24 hrs, we'd have some JW knocking on our door the next day, or leaving a note on our car asking if things were ok. I just kind of humored it all because it was mostly harmless.
Over the years I spent time trying to track my ex down. Found out she was in New Jersey. Reported her location but she fled the area quickly. Later on I found out she was staying with family on her fathers side here in the south in 2011. My ex-inlaws did not divulge info to that side of their family about her warrants, etc. until my ex-wife had started some mess there with an aunt or something.
They also did not inform me she was there until after the supposed mess had occurred and my ex was captured (a family member ratted her out after they found out about the warrants). My ex mother in-law told me they did not know she was there until right before she was caught and extradited back to Arkansas in late 2011. I found out much later during trial preparation in winter 2012 that my ex in-laws knew she was there with family for quite a few months. They had been knowing quite a bit more about her whereabouts then they ever let on to law enforcement.
At any given time my ex was there, her mother or father could have called the cops and informed them of her location, or inform me, but didn't. Due to my ex mother in laws reluctance to do the right thing, my ex got to stay on the run for much longer then she should have.
Also, the summer in 2012, before the preparation for the upcoming trial, my kids went to visit my ex-in laws. My son came back depressed and angry from this visit. It took him a few months basically before he opened up as to why. Ended up my ex-mother in law tried to pressure him constantly to stay in Georgia, and also to not testify against his mom, and that my ex mother in-law and my sons aunt had taken great liberties to talk shit about me, all sorts of lies and crap.
I played it cool and tried to just take the high road. I informed the in-laws that the kids would be staying with me next summer, partly due to my daughter having summer school, which was true, but also stated my son wanted to stay this time and look for a summer job (he didn't). Basically just making excuses for why they needed to stay with us the following summer.
My ex mother in-law freaked out and started attacking me verbally via email and to my kids on the phone, lying about me and other shit, so in the end I told her I knew everything she did during the kids last visit and we had quite a bit of words. Her justification for her actions were because "people are not perfect".
Needless to say my son was not allowed to go back and visit them alone until he turned 18 last summer, so that he would not be stuck out there totally in their care during any visit, at their mercy, like a minor would be. He would be legally responsible for himself as an adult. My daughter is under the same restriction, not until she is 18 unless my ex in-laws come here and visit her supervised, which my ex mother in law is not interested in doing.
During the falling out I had offered them to visit the kids as long as it is supervised. Instead of coming here to visit the kids, they went and visited their daughter in prison. Due to that my kids only kept in touch with them fia cell phone until my son turned 18. My ex in-laws and I no longer speak now at all after that mess. All respect has been lost. Regardless, I don't talk about them and their stupidity in front of my kids.
I just kind of moved on from the situation. This is the first time I have really mentioned it to anyone in quite some time since these days I consider it a WA and Virgina Burse family issue. I no longer have to deal with them on any level, nor am I obligated to do so.
Also I should state this, just for the sake of disclosure. My ex opted out of having a trial and plead guilty. She is in prison for a long duration. During preparing for the trial that never happened, my ex was submitted to a mental health screening, because she was going to attempt to plea not guilty by reason of mental defect/insanity. During the interviews held with her, which I have access to the records of, she had stated that she was physically and sexually abused by her father. She stated her mother knew of the abuse:
I should also note my ex wife is a pathological liar who will burn you out of spite, and lie about you for just about any reason, so it is difficult to put much stock into what she said. This is the same ex who lied on the stand saying I beat her all the time when we were divorcing to try to get a sympathetic ear with the judge, so I have a hard time believing anything she says. If what she says is true though, then it kind of goes hand in hand with what you always end up reading about, jehovah witnesses linked with sexual abuse coverups and other issues.
In addition, because I feel like tacking these links on to give some insight into my ex-inlaws way of thinking:

WOAH, that's quite a tale, Mike, though I knew some of it when I asked you for help/advice regarding my situation with XSeedGames... You mentioned you were in a tough spot with your ex and what it took to get custody of your kids, etc.
Actually, I have on-topic thoughts to add here myself, besides despising Tobias, XSeedGames is back front and center! They recently picked up licensing for "Ys VI The Ark of Napishtim" and I am trying to find out if they are attempting another sneak/cheat job. You see, one of my projects with my former criminal ex translator was in fact Ys 6 but we quit when Konami did the PS2 port. The script was translated up to 9X% and he's been sitting on it since 2006, even hoped on his Twitter account years back that Xseed would license the PC version so he could "sell them another script."
What the disgusting criminal doesn't tell you was the months of work hours that I went through to extract the Japanese text and upgrade my translation software to handle new conditions of 1,500 separate text files. I would've cancelled the project if I couldn't come up with a technical idea or design change to handle this new scenario and then projects like Felghana and Ys Origin would never have happened for him to have more scripts to profit off of my back...
I need someone who is on speaking terms with either Thomas Lipschultz of Xseed or Jeff Nussbaum to find out if they took that nearly complete script he has with my software or not. If they're using another professional translator then it's none of my business, only the prior 4 scripts matter that they already cheated me on, but I need to find out either way. They're not gonna do it again right in front of my face even after I called them all out on it!
SkyWelse or anyone that speaks to these people, I need your help to get this confirmation... Before I make a speech on my site, I wanna have my facts before opening my mouth.

Title: Re: What do you depise AT THIS MOMENT, literally....
Post by: ParanoiaDragon on April 02, 2015, 07:17:44 PM
Damn Professor, to say that sucks would be an understatement! It sounds like some of the stories my dad told me of now ex-JW's that he dealt with as an elder over the last 50 years. Those kind of people eventually fall apart completely. In his experience, sometimes it takes a few decades. ](*,) There's even some now that I'm suspicious of, but, I can't read minds, though, sometimes I'd like to be a fly on the wall to take these types down.
From personal experience, the few I know involved in abuse were totally taken care of, & the bastards responsible for said abuse are rotting in prison. One friend of mine in particular, she was being abused for several years by a "JW" I'd say at the time, was in his mid 40's? In general, I always had a bad feeling about the guy, he came off to me as arrogant & mean spirited. Even still, it was shocking to find out what he was doing to my friend. But, the police were called, he was jailed away, & he was disfellowshipped.
Offhand, my dad knows personally of an abuse case back in the 80's that turned out to be totally false. So, unfortunately false charges happen too. It's completely screwed up, but it doesn't seem to matter what organization a person is involved in. One way or another, there's going to be perverts that either work there way in, or develop a perversion while a part of that organization. No matter what, I personally look forward to a time when none of us are plagued by any kind of abusers, rapists, etc.
Infact, someone close to me, who will remain nameless, was raped years ago by guy(not a JW) who likes young looking girls in general(usually goes after underage girls). He was stalking her for months, & manipulating her. He raped many young girls, most of which were afraid to come forward because of his threats. Even now, he's still not away forever for the crimes he commited. I went with her to court a few months ago, because he's playing games, trying to get out the where he's been holed up. I think the case is going to resume again next week, but, he keeps finding way to stall it. While at the courthouse, I found out he was temporarily there, & a large part of me wanted to rip him a new one! I don't know how I would've reacted if I had to walk past him, but, he was in a special area isolated from other prisoners.
Nulity, to answer your question. I don't feel like it has, but, we all make decisions. I'm sure there are JW's that wouldn't bother to be a part of a forum, or make games music etc. Ultimately, we are taught to be careful with association whether it be in or outside the congregation. I would say that all humans are an amalgamation of everything we experience in life(aside from genetics), both good & bad. Everything we taste, touch, smell, hear, see, I think it's all in the back of our minds, forever a part of us. And even then, everyone's reaction to things in life is going to be different, due to the various experiences that differed from one person to the next. Personally, I think everyone, JW or not, should be careful with their association, though it's obviously up to each individual to make that choice.
I made some bad choices in association back around 96, & based on my actions....was not a JW for a while. The stuff I ended up getting into, well, I don't think I'd be alive today if I continued on that coarse. I was removed from the congregation, & I found that to be beneficial, as it really woke me up!
As for JW's in general, some parents allow some after school activities, some don't. Sometimes it's just a matter of how much time it takes up, & not just from spiritual activities. But there are also parents that are just plain stricter(or slightly nuts) than others. I don't want any kids, but I can see, it's like a balancing act in many respects, which is one of the reasons I don't want kids. As for JW kids reading computer books, well, we do read them. A few of my friends do programming for a living, I went to ROP & learned to built PC's(I did "ok" at it, but I wasn't awesome possum).
Yeah, as far as isolationism, I'd say it seems the same to me in general over 38 years of life. I asked my dad, he felt like it's the same as it was back into the late 40's when his parents became JW's. I feel like if we were true isolationists, we'd be living in caves or maybe on some special island drinking our own special blend of Kool Aid or something :lol: I'd say we're like the first century Christians, who still lived & worked, etc. amongst the Jews, Romans, Greeks, etc., but also preached about the kingdom.
For me, I was always raised with what I call a "prepare for now & later" attitude. You keep yourself spiritually & physically in shape as if Armageddon was coming a month from now, or 50 years from now. We gotta earn a living, take care of our families, but also be capable to help others, whether they are JW's or not. We're all capable of getting ahead of ourselves, partially do to wanting the world conditions promised in the Bible, & are told to watch for the "season" of when the end would be. But, Jesus also said no one knows the day or the hour, not even him(at least not at that time while on earth). So to me it, like a lot of things in life, requires balance. Honestly, if we knew the year/month/day. I feel like there could be a tendency to slack off spiritually until the last minute, at least in my case. I feel I would probably slump off & be like "Armageddon is coming next month, I better get my act together & look busy because Jesus is coming!" :D
Anyways, the "prepare for now & later is how my parents raised me & my bros, & others I know were raised the same way, but then there are ones that I feel weren't raised with the "prepare for now, prepare for later" mentality.
NightWolve, you have female LDS missionaries in your area? I knew they existed, but, always thought they were just an urban legend :lol: Seriously though, I've never seen one in my life, so that's kind of a trip! As for charisma, I think I understand your point, but, it's really about all of us, young & old, etc. we all do the preaching work. I'd guestimate roughly 40% of us are not people that were raised JW's. At least that seems to be the case in general when I go to church in various area's. We're all formerly Catholic, Lutheran, Atheist, Buddhist, Wiccan, etc. So far, the door to door work, as difficult as it can be, stills shows signs of people interested in our beliefs. That'll probably change someday I'm sure as this world continues. However, personally, studying the media, & the way things are in regards to religion as a whole, I just can't imagine religion lasting another 10-20 years. I know for some 100 years, we've been saying there will be an attack on all religion, but, back then, practically everybody went to church every sunday. Now, in general seems to be drying up.
As for us being charismatic, I have a tendency to not trust people that are charismatic. I just always have a funny feeling about them, so I can't totally relate to that. And there are definitely times when some of us just don't get it when no means no. There's probably times when we rely more on facial reactions & body gestures. Plus though, there are people who have initially said no, but then changed their mind, whether it be recent, or years & years later, so to say the least, humans are intriguing in regards to what appeals to them at different stages in life.

Back in my college days, a couple of Jehovah's witnesses stopped by my house and I told them I didn't have time that that moment to partake in a dialogue with them, but they were welcome to return at dinner, when me and my 3 roommates would all enjoy their company. Surprisingly, they came back and we had a really good discussion over dinner. I don't think any of us had a change in spiritual beliefs when they left, but at least I came out of it with a better understanding of where everyone was coming from and maybe a better definition of what I believed. It's an experience that's stuck with me for roughly 20 years now.

I really despise doing laundry. Particularly the sorting and folding part.
I just realized I would have to sneak past sleeping kids to get clean clothes for today.
Instead of doing that, I am doing the laundry at 3:00 am.
I dare not wake the slumbering demons.
I DESPISE THE FACT THAT I DIDN'T ANTICIPATE THIS.

I hate when people see your downtime as a challenge to get you up and going.
When I say,
"I'm not doing anything this weekend,"
that's not a f*cking request for someone to try and get me to do something. Granted, if I'm invited to something I would probably enjoy, I'll politely decline the invite and that'll be the end of it. But if I'm offered a chance to pluck swollen ticks off of livestock, I'll issue a firm rejection followed by an assault on the offender's throat with the chiseled end of a rusty crowbar. And that's usually the end of it as well. But sometimes, I'm rebutted with,
"You said you weren't doing anything."
That's the whole f*cking POINT. I don't want to do anything. Monday through Friday, for me, is spent doing things, many things, a lot of which I don't want to do but have to. The weekend is quite commonly the only bastion where I have the opportunity of being free of obligations. When I wake up on Saturday and Sunday, there are times where I want an itinerary as empty as a police precinct in Detroit. If 'nothing' is on my to-do list, then damn it, consider that list complete. I don't care if I'm asked to help drag disintegrating corpses from a swamp in mid July, or attend a party where I'd be able to squirt whipped cream on the smooth, supple perineums of high class strippers. When I say, "I'm not doing anything," I'm NOT doing anything.
As for the party with the strippers... yeah, I'd make time for that.

Creative audio cards. For how popular Linux has become there is still no support from this company to get proper drivers into Linux.
I mean I love creative audio chip products. The sound quality for me has always been good on windows based computers. But, every time I go to Linux I just have to deal with it.
Guess I am off to newegg for a proper sound card since creative can't get their act together.

Seriously, I'm happy for you, bro. I'm 38 ATM and marriage just seems like such a HUGE deal to me. Maybe I'm over-thinking the steps that are involved. Selling my condo. Moving in with her. The wedding. The honeymoon. House shopping with my GF. Am I over-thinking the whole thing? Married guys help me out here. lol

Guy had an uncommon Japanese naval history book I wanted. It normally goes for about $75. His Ebay page lists the bidding price at $95. The auction winds down to about a day and some change. I offer $80. He rejects it. Auctions ends with me having no book, and him having no money. Grrrr.

Meh, it's not so bad. For one, you can have her move into your condo. I say skip the wedding and elope. I wish I had. If it were not for her parents paying for the whole thing and a guaranteed 5 figure addition to the bank account afterward from charitable guests, I would have adamantly refused. We could have easily taken but a fraction of the money that was spent on the wedding could have had a nicer honeymoon. Speaking of which, honeymoons are awesome. Get away from it all. Have lots of sex. See something cool (we went to Italy). House shopping only really comes into play if you two want kids. At 38, do you really want to start having kids? Maybe if she's under 30, otherwise I'd advise. That's not to say it shouldn't or can't be done—my own parents were almost 40 when I was born, but then again, I have siblings over a decade older than me.
Marriage is nice. I've not been married long, but I've been with my wife (dating, engagement, etc.) for seven years. It keeps me from having to worry about being on the prowl, it provides another income (a god-given gift in NYC), and the constant company is actually nice: somewhere between loneliness and having plenty of time alone.

Ah yes, the diuretic effect of caffeine. You need to follow up with a glass of water and/or milk given the reports of accelerated bone loss it supposedly causes but that's more if you drink 3 or more cups of coffee a day and are past middle-age when that starts happening anyway, etc. Too much of anything is not a good idea... One cup in the morning to help break grogginess is alright by me.

I despise the never-ending list of things to fix in my house...
My water heater died yesterday! I hate unexpected $$$$$$ expenses (messes up the damn budget).
But, I am lucky that I caught it as a small leak and it didn't flood my basement with 50+ gallons of water.
Ah, I have a tip about that este if you're interested!
I've had about 3-4 rupture on me over the years just about right after their warranty period expired of course (all I had bought/installed myself either from Menards or Home Depot). Anyway, only recently did I learn about the anode rod after seeing them for the first time on sale at Home Depot for $25. Basically, if it's a 6 year warranty model, it has one anode rod, if it's 12 years, they add a second anode rod or make the one twice as thick, etc. It works something like that.
Anyway, if it's a 6 year model, if say every 4 years, you turn off the pressure, drain it down a bit past the top-most level, you can unscrew out the anode rod from the top, go to Home Depot, buy another one to replace it...
What happens is, as soon as the anode rod finishes its sacrificial job of protecting the tank, when it's almost gone/dissolved away, the water will then quickly attack/corrode the steel tank away and rupture it in short order! You can run on the same tank for at least 25 years I hear if you pay attention and quickly catch an anode rod that's almost gone, etc.
So, what's better, spending $10-25 bucks (they're cheaper to buy online) every 3 years, or just waiting around for the tank to rupture, dump water all over the place, and then have to spend $400+ to buy, transport and install a whole new one ??
I wish somebody had taught me this long ago as I had to take a day off work once to quickly replace one... The last rupture which was not that long ago, I upgraded to a 50 gallon model (though I REALLY wanted to upgrade to a tankless-style model!!!!) and I marked the year of purchase, so when I hit the 3 year mark, I'm just gonna replace the rod no matter what condition it's in. Depending on your usage, how fast it wears out is gonna vary, that's the thing... So yeah, that's the protip-of-the-day for ya on that! :)

What happens is, as soon as the anode rod finishes its sacrificial job of protecting the tank, when it's almost gone/dissolved away, the water will then quickly attack/corrode the steel tank away and rupture it in short order! You can run on the same tank for at least 25 years I hear if you pay attention and quickly catch an anode rod that's almost gone, etc.
So, what's better, spending $10-25 bucks (they're cheaper to buy online) every 3 years, or just waiting around for the tank to rupture, dump water all over the place, and then have to spend $400+ to buy, transport and install a whole new one ??
I wish somebody had taught me this long ago as I had to take a day off work once to quickly replace one... The last rupture which was not that long ago, I upgraded to a 50 gallon model (though I REALLY wanted to upgrade to a tankless-style model!!!!) and I marked the year of purchase, so when I hit the 3 year mark, I'm just gonna replace the rod no matter what condition it's in. Depending on your usage, how fast it wears out is gonna vary, that's the thing... So yeah, that's the protip-of-the-day for ya on that! :)
Holy cow, I never knew about that. I thought I would have heard something, at some point, but...nope.

Yep, when you think how simple it is and all the ruptured tanks it could've saved you, it's quite bothering...
I found you a perfect video, 4:26 minutes, gets the point across well, teaches everything you need to know, BAM!
If they can do it, you can do it! You might need a breaker bar for your socket if the hex head is locked tight though, they use a ratchet and the old grap an iron pipe trick for leverage to get the job done! And the other tip, yeah, at least over a decade ago, they stopped making anode rods as one solid bar, they're now instead hung together in pieces so if you don't have enough height where your water heater is located, it's still easy-peasy to get the new one back in! If the old one is solid, you'd have to pull it out a couple of feet, use a hack saw while holding the bottom, and repeat if need be.
But yeah, perfect video right there from that Old House educational TV program by Bob Villa.

Yeah, that's the only version Home Depot was selling here in Chicago for $25. You probably might have a better price where you are (unless you buy online for the best deal.). We are gifted with a 10% sales tax here for good measure, so we get "special" prices when we go old skool retail. :/

Besides the anodes you can (and should) also replace the heating elements but that's easier to diagnose normally when your hot water heater tank just isn't putting out water.
I actually had my water heater go out in the middle of February one year and it was miserable because while it was still under warranty, the person who installed the tank before didn't do it to code and I had to wait 2 weeks to get a similar model as a replacement. The wife was not very happy with that.

I think the ideal is probably the tankless natural gas models. 20 year warranty, no tank to rupture, instant and perpetual hot water. They run at $1,000 retail these days, haven't looked for online deals though to see price ranges there.
I assume a "combi boiler" is if you've got a hot water boiler situation for heating during winter ? It would make sense that your hot water boiler heating system could be dual-purposed to be run all year round and also provide hot water to faucets I guess. However, most modern homes in the US go with forced-air heating systems, not hot water or old skool steam boilers.
I actually fixed a hot water system for a friend years back, the copper piping had frozen and ruptured near his front door. I replaced the section of pipe and resoldered/sweated it with 2 couplings in-between, then filled the system up and fired up the burner to give it a go. It does have a very nice feel to it unlike forced-air, I'll say that, it doesn't dry out the air, etc. The forced-air standard is due to its dual-purposing for cooling/AC support in the summer, so you get both capabilities.

Heh, sure enough, I have another protip for that too. ;)
Blow dryer... Bernie-style!
Heat up the skin till its nice and hot, and the nerves are all confused.
That'll give you about 4-5 hours of relief. Do it again when needed. This avoids buying 20% benzocaine anesthetic at the dollar store which also helps. Sometimes if the bite is real bad, both will help though.
But yeah, heat it up nice till it turns red, getting flooded with blood, preferably as soon as you're bitten, and you'll notice relief for a few hours and faster healing since you'll avoid itching.

As I went to get some bread in the kitchen a few days ago, I startled the mouse in the house to where he bolted out of the corner he was hiding at and crashed into my left foot/slipper, stunning himself for a second, before taking off to the laundry area...
The traditional trap with peanut butter and poison pellets hasn't caught him yet and last night I bought a new poison feed which I hope works better. Because I'm lazy I don't immediately take care of shit like this, and then I'll have all the shit pellets wherever it's dumping them to clean up later! Last time it was under the refrigerator, and shit got nasty... But anyway, peanut butter is better bait than cheese I long ago learned, but the slap traps don't always go off when they're eating it.

In an old house I used to live in after high school, we'd get mice every winter. I never tried one although we sold them at a retail store I worked in at the time. I personally loved the satisfaction of knowing I took some of the MFER'S out.
One time we had one that would lick the traps clean without setting them off. This bastard was bold enough to be chilling on our couch when my roommate and I would get home from work at 3 a.m. One night we chased it into the kitchen under the refrigerator then set up like 10 different traps in each exit around the refrigerator. We then scared the mouse out. He avoided the first few but eventually got snagged. It was glorious! We then drank beers in celebration of our greatness. To be young again....

Oh my God, they are SO fast. They way they move and how they look is just a perfect example of nature evolving an animal to clearly send out a message of, "Don't you dare **** with me."
I've never been bitten / stung / eaten (whatever heinous thing they do to you), so I don't know how much it hurts; but the damn things scare the hell out of me. At least millipedes move slow and make a crunching sound to let you know how dead they are.
I'm probably going to have someone come out and spray, but failing that, I suppose burning the house down would work too...

Sonic Sound thingies to scare animals away is a farce, imo. Best way to kill mice....
Old school trap and then push peanut butter into any crevice on the lever of the trap. Mice hate cheese, they love peanut butter.
Or, get a 5 gallon bucket. Fill it 1/4 to 1/2 of water. Make two ramps up to the top. With wood or cardboard or anything a mouse and climb on. Then take out the handle that you would use to carry the bucket. Then put a metal rod through those holes and make sure the ramps up to the top of the bucket are right next to it so the mice will climb out onto the rod. Put a straw or several or something similar over the rod. Then put peanut butter on it toward the center.
Mice will smell it, climb up the platforms and try to get the peanut butter only to fall into a watery doom and drown. My youngest bro bought a house with a dirt basement and he had mice because of it. He did this bucket trick and would catch like 5 mice a night till they were gone. To my knowledge he no longer has a mouse problem but he keeps the bucket trap up in his basement always.

Being in the water they have nothing to push on to get a god enough jump. The bucket is 1/4 full, they just swim till they are exhausted, then drown.
Like a sleeve bearing, with the straw over the metal rod. The crawl out onto the rod and the straw spins like a log, then gravity does the rest.

Apparently I have what is called a stye, and it is so damn irritating. Just went to the doctor after about 2 weeks and it not clearing up and now I'm on antibiotics as well. But first they poked it with a damn needle.

Grab a grubby old sock a long one if you have one. Put some rice in it. Microwave the sock and rice for a few seconds. Keep checking it for when it gets warm/hot. Carefull it may get super hot. Put it on your eye till it cools, rinse and repeat. The heat will open the pores and let it come out naturally.
If that doesn't work they usually cut them out.

Lol. I've done the rice sock before but mainly for my knee or the like. Right now I get a washcloth saturated with hot water and set it over my eyes for a bit to relieve it. I'm on amoxicillin right and it seems to be helping, hopefully it's gone by the weekend.

In short, I can't do nothing now as I hurt my knee, I'm on crutches, and my car is a noise polluter... I wanna hold out a visit for full exhaust system replacement till winter is over cause the salt use is so destructive here. It was only a few years ago I spent $330 for full replacement and it's all nearly rusted/corroded away. It's like WTF, it's the 4th time already since I owned this car...

Washing the cars at a carwash that actually sprays water under the cars every two weeks helps a lot with protecting a car from the salt.
I live in Michigan and I have has a couple cars rust out on me and I learned simply washing the car often during the winter helps a ton. But you gotta do it before it starts to rust otherwise you are not really protecting it as the damage is already done.

As far as I can remember, I actually did figure that out BITD, but, then again, maybe I tried anything & everything in the game till that worked? Or, maybe that sense of evil(or whatever it says when you walk in the basement) rung a bell in my head(har har) which gave me a clue of what I should do down there? It's been too long ago now to remember, as now I just know what to do when I play that part.

We both cried quite a bit, I've never had to put a dog down. I know he was just a dog, but, definitely the smartest dog we ever had & part of the family. He was some sort of lab mix, maybe with border collie? It's taken me so long to not expect to see him laying next to the sliding door at my parents house whenever I go there. Even now, I occasionally expect to see him there.

Old age. My doggie is dying. I don't think she has much time left. [emoji17]
As an official dog person now, this pulls my heartstrings. Spend as much time as you can with her and shower her with whatever her favorite treats are.
We had to put my dog to sleep today. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. She went peacefully with her head in my lap. Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. [emoji22]

Remember the Super Hucard disc? I'm playing Kyusfdkdpawruf Tiger on it and it's one of the games that aren't listed as "working". It is, in fact, but if you press start or go to the continue screen the console crashes.
Basically it is a forced 1CC version of Twin Cobra. I regret not buying the turbo everdrive.

First-world problems...
I bought a stupid scale a few years ago that automatically sends weight/BMI to phone/website.
It is supposed to figure out which one (of eight!) people is using scale via some *basic logic* that shouldn't even be called an algorithm...let's call it a basic f*cking equation.
Anyway...I resurrected this bastard two days ago (in other words, I wiped off two years of dust and replaced the batteries).
THE DAMN SCALE ONLY HAS TWO PROFILES (my wife and I) to choose from and The bastard keeps identifying me as "GUEST"... which means my data does not automatically sync with my profile.
Fine.
But after the FIFTH TIME of manually switching it from GUEST to ESTEBAN, shouldn't the piece of shite recognize me as ESTEBAN?
ALSO, this stupid scale does "cute" things like claiming it is "thinking" about stuff. This would not annoy me if it actually identified me properly. Don't scroll the word "thinking" in a whimsical manner on the display if you can't f*cking figure out that MY WIFE ABANDONED TWO YEARS AGO. I am the *only* f*cking person using the f*cking scale. Did I mention that? I AM THE ONLY ONE USING THE SCALE AND IT CAN'T f*ckING FIGURE IT OUT.
I have a theory that the scale is sentient and (likely) emotionally wounded by being neglected under the dresser for two years. Labeling me as "guest" is its passive aggressive way of communicating that frustration and pain.
Regardless...
f*ck YOU, expensive, passive-aggressive scale of shite.
(Aria by Fitbit...I bought it in 2013-14?)
As usual, I am currently on the toilet. I am going to squeeze out a few more drops of urine before I weigh myself on this damn scale.

Thanks for the sympathies guys, it's really appreciated. I typically don't whine on social media about my problems, but this thread gave me a great outlet for bitching about what happens so thanks.
We wallowed on the couch for most of that day, but then my fiance and I did a last minute run to the store to fight the crowds and re-supplied, and she ended up making a tasty meal. I then I ended up getting some work done around the house, and on catastrophy, in addition to some much needed r&r on the couch, so we made the best of it.
An update on this story, today the police contacted my fiance and told her that they had found our golf clubs (after confirming their description) and they may have found more stuff.
Apparently a neighbor's grandson had been arrested for an unrelated crime, and when the police asked the grandma if there were any odd behaviors lately she said "he got two sets of golf clubs, and I don't know where from". She allowed the police to check out the clubs, and they matched the description of ours, so the police thinks they found the culprit.
After speaking with the neighbors about it over the weekend, apparently in the year there have been 4 burgleries, and one house that was for sale had been broken into and "partied in"!
I am wondering if all of these crimes were related to this guy, and there is a "detective working the case" who thinks so too!
They have the CSI:SVU on our case! Suburb Victims Unit!

Yeah, same here, when I had a temp construction job some years back, I was leaving my tool boxes in my car and parking it in the garage. I didn't understand the problem of misalignment of the safety sensors or when too much leaves build up on the side of the door and wind up interfering with its proper closing... So, I suspect I walked away, clicked the remote, assumed it closed, but didn't given the safety sensors which then completely reverse the direction (the scenario of a baby crossing the door, so as it was almost about to close, it completely reverses)...
So anyway, with the garage door open, somebody went in, stole my 24 ft. ladder, took a bottle or whatever, broke the rear driver-side window to also make off with all my tool boxes... I lost tools I had collected since I was in my teens... Wound up spending about $600 at Menards and Home Depot to recover and continue to work on the temp job I had at the time... :/ I've since installed a transmitter device that's glued on the door, with the receiver in my home - red or green light for opened or closed door so I can be alerted... I don't actually park in there anymore, just rented out both spots to neighbors as I'd rather collect the cash as opposed to "protect" my 26 year-old car (which didn't do me any good that time) and have the convenience.

People who sell things on ebay they don't even have on hand.
I saw this Mega Karaoke pop up on YJA the other day: http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r171735606
Now these things are pretty uncommon and rarely show up for sale, so it kind of stuck in my mind. Then lo and behold, one of these also pops up on ebay a couple days later, with the exact same pictures, while the Yahoo Japan auction is still running!
Normally I don't care, but the ebay guy was "selling" it for about 4X the current auction amount and I guess I was just in bad mood so I sent them a message calling them out on it.
Their response:

I like fireworks, but I'm a little under the weather, so I was feeling a little Grinchy last night.
Usually I would be out watching them, or setting them off myself.
However, I do believe you should be respectful of your neighbors when living in a subdivision. On new years I think you should have fireworks wrapped up by 1am. The last one went off here at exactly 2:37. We're not talking about bottle rockets and fountain showers. Mortar shells were firing consistently from 8-2:37.
When you are drunk and partying, it's all good and fun. I guess being sick and sober this year gave me a little insight into why some neighbors get aggravated and annoyed.

Not super close but moreover I saw that someone in a facebook group here sold one for over retail so I'm guessing walmart and co doesn't have any in right now. I'll check when I go back to work next week anyway though.
But yeah I'm not going to give into the stupid prices. I've already waited this long to get one and it's just a matter of when Nintendo makes more the prices should go back down.

I had to go back to dentist three times, and three molds of my teeth made, for a mouth guard over the last few weeks.

Lots of Godzillas At the title screen, hold Up + Right + II and press Run. Keep holding the buttons until you enter the "Normal / Vs" screen. If done right, you'll hear a different scream. On this screen, very quickly hold Select and press Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Up, Down, Up, Down, Up, Down, Right, II. If the code was entered correctly, you'll go to an alternative VS Character Select screen where you can select from lots of monsters including 10 different kinds of Godzilla.

He got a bunch of ermagerd sealed PC big box games awhile back. I was interested at sane open copy prices, but of course he wanted the most it ever sells for on Ebay. So he finally sold one today, many months later, which he couldn't just do in silence and be happy. He decided to post what he sold it for in the thread he posted them "available" in and of course claims it wasn't to stir the pot, just getting the already visible sales data out there.

Right now I despise the usps/myself or one particular one nearby. A couple of days ago I had a couple of game related things to send off and I wound up leaving my binder full of tg-16/pc-engine hueys there(these 60-65 odd games we're about 90% of my collection) Im not going to go into alot of detail up here but when I went back the next day to ask about it the man who had helped me the day before wouldn't make any eye contact with me and he would only say he didn"t know anything. Well after checking the local pawn shop I went to make a report at the police department and the officer I drew seemed terrified of the usps. He did call and ask about cameras(they claimed none) and the old sceezy guy from before admitted to seeing the black folder/binder but didn't make any effort to retrieve it. I blame myself for bringing all of them with me but at the same time I wasn't really in my right state of mind. My brother was scheduled for day surgery between 10am-2pm and I left right before 12. I even mentioned this to the fellow who was "helping me" but I guess compassion is not one of his strong suits. Anyways my brothers exploratory surgery went well and that is definitely what matters to me. I try nit to hold hate in my heart but this definitely makes me despise the lump of crap working at said usps and the women working there who saw me in tears that first day when I was walking to my truck who was also nasty to me when I tried to ask her a question the next day. Ahh boy didn't mean to go into so much detail but it really sucks. ](*,) :cry: :oops:

I start hydroplaning, my car spins out of control, and I wind up hitting the concrete divider. My shoulder hit the car door and dislocated but I'm by and large okay. My car isn't even that badly damaged; looks like repairs will be around $400 or so.

Dear lord, I cringe at many drivers, especially the huge numbers that are fiddling with their phones. Constantly.
Anyway, seieienbu: you are one lucky bastard. It sucks, but, damn, you are lucky.
I hydroplaned on the way home to NJ from Boston many years ago and we did a 360° and THUD! Back bumper on median. No cars? No cars. Somehow (a miracle), no cars were around, so we could safely maneuver car out of the fast lane and then safely accelerate from median. However, since right passenger was sticking out into the fast lane, I shudder to think what could have happened if there was traffic directly behind us.
The only damage to my car: two huge scrapes on front and rear bumpers. We hadn't realized that front bumper had glanced the median, too.

Would love to eventually ditch this system, including the spy apparatus that is the IRS, for a flat or fair tax system, but we're stuck with it for the foreseeable future. :/

CURRENT ABOMINATION: My coffee maker, which has a POINTLESS touchscreen on it, has finally f*cking died.
Just the screen died. The coffee maker would still function perfectly if I could simply hit a "brew" button.
NO BUTTONS. NOT A SINGLE BUTTON.
YOU f*ckHOLES.
Customer service said there was no way for me to swap out the screen (it's on a part that easily pops off... but the wires are not accessible without cracking open something inside the main coffee maker)...
So, of course I still have my old, neglected coffee maker that I had abandoned for the HOT, NEW THING.
Sadly, the hot, new thing's touch screen started getting flaky and unresponsive after 1.5 years.
OH, THE AGONY OF PLEADING WITH THE TOUCHSCREEN TO REGISTER A PRESS!
Please, please do not forsake me, my love! I am going to miss my train if you do not start brewing NOW. Now. NOW! Now, I beg of you! I'm already late, but if you start brewing now, I'll just RUN to catch the train. Please.
Please.
YOU SWEET PIECE OF SHITE!
f*ck you forever and ever.
Amen.
BOTTOM LINE: Enjoy your fleeting moments with a hot, new thing. They will soon be distant memories.
Farewell, love. I had hoped for more (coffee), but Fate's fickle fingers said otherwise.
What adds insult to injury is that the carafe is a NON-STANDARD size and I can't even keep it as a backup for my current coffee maker.
f*ckHOLES!

Gotta keep a backup coffee maker. My in-laws loose them every couple years due to frequent power issues with where they live and have this old one from the 70s or something that still works fine and they'll pull out to use when the "new thing" breaks before they buy another replacement.
Secretly, I think my father-in-law loves this old coffee machine and refuses to let it become the mainstay of the house because he doesn't want to lose it.

(1) I love your observation that he has a "fave" and is prolonging its life. My dad does this with his favorite toaster (no, I'm not joking...when guests arrive the toaster is safely hidden in the back of a cabinet. A "temp" toaster is available, should it be needed).

CURRENT ABOMINATION: My coffee maker, which has a POINTLESS touchscreen on it, has finally f*cking died.
Just the screen died. The coffee maker would still function perfectly if I could simply hit a "brew" button.
NO BUTTONS. NOT A SINGLE BUTTON.
YOU f*ckHOLES.
Customer service said there was no way for me to swap out the screen (it's on a part that easily pops off... but the wires are not accessible without cracking open something inside the main coffee maker)...
So, of course I still have my old, neglected coffee maker that I had abandoned for the HOT, NEW THING.
Sadly, the hot, new thing's touch screen started getting flaky and unresponsive after 1.5 years.
OH, THE AGONY OF PLEADING WITH THE TOUCHSCREEN TO REGISTER A PRESS!
Please, please do not forsake me, my love! I am going to miss my train if you do not start brewing NOW. Now. NOW! Now, I beg of you! I'm already late, but if you start brewing now, I'll just RUN to catch the train. Please.
Please.
YOU SWEET PIECE OF SHITE!
f*ck you forever and ever.
Amen.
BOTTOM LINE: Enjoy your fleeting moments with a hot, new thing. They will soon be distant memories.
Farewell, love. I had hoped for more (coffee), but Fate's fickle fingers said otherwise.
What adds insult to injury is that the carafe is a NON-STANDARD size and I can't even keep it as a backup for my current coffee maker.
f*ckHOLES!
Fin
WHY THE f*ck DID YOU BUY THAT COFFEEMAKER

But, sadly, we were lured in by the *alleged* features of high-tech gadgetry.
It is like buying a VCR-DVD-TV combo: you don't know if all the components are good quality and/or durable.
Sorry for the lame analogy, I couldn't think of a "modern" equivalent.
Ok, but it''s like, the $9 Mr. Cawfee thing with one button that makes it, and done versus the thing that gives you a back massage, cleans your pool, dies on your counter, and then you're going to Starbucks.

Doesn't have a single button. No electronics to die. Spare parts (gasket, filter, etc.) readily available. Will survive global warming and nuclear winter.

Yes, I have a "camping" (cylindrical) aluminum pot where the coffee grinds are suspended up in a basket atop a pole and you can see the water percolate through the handle on top of lid.
I love seeing the water percolate in the clear crystal handle... it's so fun, satisfying.
The problem is that it doesn't make a gallon of coffee, just two modest cups. That's why I call it my "camping" coffee maker...
As an American, I "need" a gallon of coffee. Now. Even if I drink some of it cold. Later. Gimme it all now.
It is pathetic. But true.

I pack in a double espresso and shoot it long. It's weaker per oz than a cup of espresso, but I have more of it and it's stronger than a regular cup of coffee, with a nice thick foam on top.
We got it through credit card points, though otherwise we would have continued using a moka pot.

That sucks. I've been driving for 20+ years since last getting a flat, but now I've gotten two in the last year or so. Luckily they were both patchable, though, and were slow leaks that I could keep aired up and not need to slap on the spare.

This tire already had a couple patches done on it unfortunately, plus I think I drove on it a bit too long and fuxxord the sidewall. Wound up getting a new front pair and will slap the good one on an extra rim I have to have a cheapo full sized spare tire finally.

Cheap earbuds... It seems that how long they last is inversely proportionate to how well I treat them! In recent memory I've gone through 3 pairs, the first one lasted a couple of months and then it stopped working, then I got a new one and I started treating it with a little more care than usual, it broke in 1 month, then I got yet another one and was treating it with utmost care, making sure to never bend it even slightly, IT BROKE IN 2 WEEKS!

Filing income tax returns...
I dunno why it happened yet again to where I procrastinated till a few days before the April 17th deadline... I resent the system and I just hate every time having to deal with it.
I've been doing my own without a paid-preparer since ~1998/1999 I believe. Only screwed up once in 2007 because I had a retirement mutual fund and I needed to take a few grand out but I didn't properly handle the 15/20% capital gains tax representation/issue. The process was filing another correction form and I called the IRS too, so that took care of it.
Anyway, I just hate the process to get my mind into it, sit in front of my workdesk to just get it over with... I seem to have associated it with a root canal but it really isn't... It doesn't even take that long but you just need to chill, focus, get it done already.
I really hope some day funding state/federal government can be done ONLY via economic activity taxes like sales/consumption taxes... A spy apparatus like the IRS could be eliminated along with this filing system, but it doesn't look like that's ever gonna be possible for the foreseeable future... :/

I had my yearly physical today and got the old Mooon Riiiiver exam. Ugh, don't remember it being that bad last time I had one years back.

I have the older 1000 model. When I look at people all I can see is the shit in their a$$holes, you're a bunch of savages. Without a doubt, one of the most life changing purchases of my life.
Try looking at their faces.

I want a bidet, but I just use the garden hose instead.
Neighbors have always been nosy, though.

I hate that most Americans now drop the H in "herb". It doesn't make any sense! It's not spelled "erb". The only people I know that pronounce it "erb" are people with stong jamaican/caribbean accents, but that makes sense, because they're consistent.
For some reason, millions of people seem to have looked at one specific word, and decided "I don't need to say that part of it". SO ANNOYING.

Perhaps they're also inspired by sexy French ladies.

That would make sense I guess. Still it's weird to be like "we're going French on this one word. No reason, but we've all decided to do it"

Not pronouncing the h isn't exactly a new thing, and it's actually more correct; the word's origins (latin and old french) do not have a hard h. We pronounce the h in herbivore and herbicide, though, so yeah......
When are you brits gonna start using a hard h on hour, heir, and honor? :mrgreen:

Today I'm despising Gamestop, who seem to make it impossible to buy games complete with the case and manual anymore. :'(
I worked at a gamestop back in the mid 2000s and I actually remember employees taking boxes and manuals for GBA games and tossing them rather than keeping them with the games traded in. I asked wtf is up with that, and the manager said they charge the same for carts complete or loose, so they toss them to save space.
I said, "I'm oot" and left never to return.

Was listening to some old gospel music on Youtube, now my recommendations are all screwed up and I keep getting ads from Trump asking my to join his list of supporters.
Incognito mode is apparently the way to go.

Many, many years ago, I accidentally forgot to logout of my YouTube account on a streaming device in the family room. This meant that my "viewing profile" was horribly ruined since my kids watch absolute garbage (always and forever, they watch garbage).
So... algorithm for me is seriously compromised. CATASTROPHIC FAILURE.
Here I am, YEARS LATER and my YouTube profile still makes ridiculous suggestions that are clearly based on the brief period, years ago, when my kids betrayed me (things I have actively worked to fix for years).
THIS STATE OF AFFAIRS, I despise.
I purged all the garbage from my kids, actively trying to COUNTER-PROGRAM the algorithm...
