What first world problem did you have today?

[pete6032]

It a banner morning. Two fwps in an hour. Cut my finger shaving. Was checking around my beard, and the blade got away from me. At least it was my left hand :^S

I first read this as two faps in one hour.

Fucking useless.... That donation place missed my pick-up again, second time in 5 days, not even a week. Useless shit. Your entire organization's job is to take free shit and sell it, but looks like you don't want it.

Debating paying $20 for a taxi tomorrow to just take the shit to another place that's for-profit. That'll maybe save me having to hump 6 boxes of shit back into the house again.

Just stick a sign on it saying 'free shit, please take' and leave it out. See how long it lasts.

No one wants free. They assume it's junk.

Put a sign that it's for sale for $20 and see how long until it's "stolen."

It works for me. We've even gotten rid of used matresses using a "free" sign. D:

My man-cave is filling up with junk from people like Imp.

That was when it was still at the store. Now it's home and I can barely move. Luckily, I'm moving soon and a lot of the stuff is getting shuffled around so I'll take care of that shortly.

It looks like the guy tried to offload it on eBay before yanking the PS2 and donating it to Goodwill:

Verified by serial numbers and such:

At least he still left me a nice Playstation Multi-Out S-Video cable. The LCD has a gash that may have come from us transporting it but I might find a way to mount a CRT to make a light gun station (GunCon2). I might also replace the broken controller holders with a custom 2p arcade stick.

I can't get my printer to connect to the wifi, and my usb cable is too short for where I want to put it.

I might do that with my bike that I haven't ridden in years... If I sell it, there's some liability. If I leave it outside unlocked and person dies riding it, then it was stolen, officer.

I can't get my printer to connect to the wifi, and my usb cable is too short for where I want to put it.

I had that problem... took me over an hour of reinstalling the drivers, then realized I was supposed to hit a button on the install screen. Should have taken 10 minutes. If it's a Canon, I might know the issue.

I think you just like using the word "hump."

 

[Imp]

Awwwwwwwwwwwww, man. I spent 3 hours humping -- I do have a hard-on for that word -- my shit (half of it) to a second hand store. Just dropped it off, made two runs, bit over 3 kilometers each way... So, I walked 12 km and was hauling a backpack and grocery bag full of crap for half of that. Now my feet are on fire...

Still got the other half.

 

[pete6032]

Some guy is using metric and I don't feel like converting it to imperial.

 

[smackababy]

Sometimes I have to park a block or more away from the gym and then walk!

 

[Charmonium]

Did a restart of windows and screen comes back with a blinking cursor. Have to install another copy of windows on another partition, run the imaging software to create a restore disk and then do the restore, which of course doesn't work.

Well, it's about 24 hours later and I finally got the partition restored and I only had to go back in time 20 days. Not bad I guess.

 

[Sonikku]

I figured I'd actually buy a digital video from Amazon.
Checking the specifics....nope, you can't download a video to a PC.


Rental or discs it is then. Still.

Well, you can, but... :hmm:

 

[shortylickens]

The pharmacist gave me generic Percocet without even asking what I wanted.

 

[Imp]

They finally came to pick my crap up... But now that I know that taking shit myself to a place works, I "have to" drop off another two loads over the next while. Probably making a trip tomorrow.

Also, I'm thinking of consolidating a bunch of old CDs/DVDs. Problem is that one of those big, 50 pack spindles for burnable CDs would be the best option but I never got into burning CDs so don't have any.

Everybody I meet tries to do that.

I guess it worked out; I only rented it.

's'alright.

Funny stuff here and there and generally interesting enough, but I don't feel a strong need to watch it again.

I have to fly to NY in premium economy like a peasant.

The charger for my Iphone broke. Cheap crap from China...

So is premium economy where you have enough leg room that you don't have to nestle your knees in the butt crack of the guy in front of you?

Evidently premium economy is where I get an extra 6 inches of legroom in exchange for fatty McFatface next to me encroaching on 15% of my personal space.

Years ago when the garbage men were on strike in New York, someone, who wanted to get rid of their garbage, boxed it up then gift wrapped it, and left it in his unlocked car.:sneaky:

I made the mistake of doing just that, with a bunch of stuff stacked in my driveway. The mistake???? Shoulda closed the garage door!

Try Freecycle. If you live in an urban or suburban area, this is a great way to get rid of stuff. The only downside is that most of the time you arrange to meet people at your home. You don't have to but since everyone who participates has to register to use the service, there's a certain amount of security built in.

Freecycle is really amazing. You can find a taker for almost anything. Most groups even let you post wanted ads for specific items people are looking for.

You still have the problem with people flaking on you but it generally doesn't cause you any inconvenience if you arrange a time when you're home anyway.

But FYI, one of the cardinal rules of Freecycle is that everything offered has to be free. You can't charge, offer to trade, etc. It has to be a straight giveaway.
