What first world problem did you have today?

All the backdrops were chocolate brown.

Probably using it like a green screen.

Ever wonder why they call it GREEN screen?

The tools I ordered from Amazon for my weekend project were supposed to arrive today. Now the arrival date is this Sunday so I won't be able to work on my project. All my other stuff I order from Amazon that I don't need immediately arrives on time, but the one package I would like to get before this weekend is delayed.

What year is this?

That reminds me I need to drop off some tapes at blockbuster before they're late.

1973...they sucked for a long time.

The corporate IT nazis disabled ad blocker on all our browsers. WTF! This is after they blocked ad blockers on our phones. This is possibly the most counter productive "security measure" ever.

IT now allows Ublock Origin or, most likely, they haven't noticed that they haven't blocked it. The phone still sucks but the PC is tolerable again.

Took my 2+ year old labradoodle to the vet today…got the report that he most likely has epilepsy that will never get better. (would require a brain MRI to confirm positively…at about $1000) Meds MIGHT help, but they will severely impact his personality.
His advice is to have him put down. That will happen as soon as we can get it scheduled.
My heart is broken.

Been there. I cried like a baby when I had to put my cat down. Wish I could tell you that it gets better, but for me it has not. I'm still without a pet over ten years later.

Sorry Boomer :^(

What are the ramifications of doing nothing?

Someone getting bitten…perhaps severly. When he has a seizure, he gets badly aggressive and vicious.

 

[Red Squirrel]

So sorry to hear Boomer. It's not easy going through that, I went through it with my cat in November, had to put her down, and it's still hard sometimes. I recently adopted 2 cats from the shelter as I was feeling ready for it but the first month or so was very rough.

 

[IronWing]

Sorry, Boomer, that’s rough.

 

[BoomerD]

Well...fuck...it's done. I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest. I'll probably "ugly cry" for days...or weeks.

So hard to go through no matter how mentally prepared you are. When it's done, it just hits extra hard. Especially the first time you get home, with the empty kennel. For me, going to bed was the hardest, for over a month. But just being home in general was hard. I kept thinking she was there, for a split second. Or when I'd get up at night to go to bathroom and come back to the bed I'd expect to see her there.

I would often get dreams that I get to pet her for a little while. In the dream I actually knew I was dreaming, but didn't want it to end, but eventually, you wake up.

Then the dreams started to change, where I was actually petting a different cat. When those got consistent I figured it was time to actually get a new cat. I got two so they keep each other company when I work.

Condolences brother, that is tough. In a peaceful place, away from the trauma of seizures. It was the best thing. Take care of yourself for a bit.

I just feel ...empty. yes, rhe devastating sadness is still there, but underneath it...it's like I've had the life drained out of me.
This will take some time to get over.

Very true, but those random electrical shocks to your cranium haven't helped either apparently.

Plumbing is easy and safe as long as you know where your shutoff valve is. Turn off the water, make it look like the picture in the code book, turn the water on.

Electrical is easy and safe as long as your know where your circuit breaker box is. Turn off the electrical, make it look like the picture in the code book, turn the electrical on.

Feel for you, brother, especially when they're so young.

For the first time in my life, this was actually MY dog...and I was his person. Maybe that's why this hurts so much more than the loss of other pets

Why in the hell in this day and age cannot we not PiP or multi screen anything we want? As far as I know, only way to get multiple games on the screen at once is to Get YouTubeTV, and the NFL package which we have. We also have Hulu live with ESPN+ and Fubo.

But I bought the PPV UFC fights for almost $90 today, and there is no ability to have a football game on on side and the fights on the other. I have no doubts it's because all these streaming platforms want to make money and not make the customers happy. But we had PiP over 20 years ago with any two channels we wanted. There is no way to do this now?!

Like a Neanderthal, I have to resort to watching the fights either on my phone, laptop, or drag another TV and put it on the floor to watch football and fights at the same time. Ridiculous.
