But my PS3 also connects via wire. At all events, it's all back to normal now. Ghosts in the machine.
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

Gremlins sometimes take over our wifi too. They're sneaky.
My whine: bitch at work is still a bitch. Sent a super ugly, nasty worded email accusing me of not being accurate in something on her performance review and sending a huge attachment to prove it. Bitch can't read and I walked her through exactly how accurate my description of a very minor background detail was (just background info nothing performance related) and proved how I already had the attachment and had correctly interpreted the info. What do I get after that ugly? A verbal oops, I should have read that closer.
As her life unravels around her, she has picked me as the person she wants to lash out at. Why me? Holy crap. Leave. Me. Alone. Bitch.

Followup whine: Software B is very, very crash-happy. Just lost an hour of work due to yet another crash. How this pile of shit became an industry standard I'll never know.
The ethernet port on my PS3 was the first thing to go when it started breaking down. It would randomly not work.
Man I've had NO trouble with my PS3... I hope that, since other devices were acting up, this is not the case.
I've noticed all voice recognition gets crappy if you're still BlueToothed to your car. I have to ground* my phone from BlueTooth or else the car takes over the audio, auto-starts my songs playing (even if the stereo is actually off), etc. Thanks a lot, Microsoft.Google's voice recognition has gotten noticeably shittier over the last year or soMy text messages are often incorrect/confusing.

I'm glad you specified, because until I got to the footnote I really was thinking that...
Or a year of slurred speech...Google's voice recognition has gotten noticeably shittier over the last year or so
I was gonna say . . .
Guys, you know he doesn't remember the stroke, that's why we all play along. Don't remind him...
Oh right. I always get Gassy and Huggins mixed up. I mean, with all his gibberish, it's easy to forget that Huggins is the one who won the lottery, not the one who had the stroke.
Can't sleep. A charming combination of pain, health stress and work stress.
Yay.
Yay.
Also can't sleep.
Too many promises made to too many people mean I get to lose sleep tomorrow to meet deadlines tonight.
Also have a mild fever and a runny nose and our son just came out of his room with scratchy throat etc., he's starting now also.
Good thing I don't have to drive for 6-8 hours tomorrow.
Oh wait, I do.

We've got the scratchy throat, runny nose stuff going on in our house, too.
Every time I flush my toilet, it runs. Either the chain gets caught under the flapper, or the flapper completely falls to the side. It's extremely annoying.

My chain recently broke OFF, close to the flapper. I fixed it with an old key ring.
Clever. I'm never smart enough to improvise fixes to things.
Shorten the chain (they're usually adjustable) and/or weight the flapper a little. Problem solved.
--Patrick
Food poisoning on top of everything else.
Gross!
Gross!
You can also usually buy a replacement valve & flapper from walmart for like 5 bucks, and replace the whole internal assembly for like 12 if you don't want to go all fancy-schmancy.
I was really surprised at how cheap a lot of toilet parts are once I started fixing that kind of stuff myself.
You definitely need to shorten the chain. Then the toilet can't run as far.
I know it's an absolutely inane whine, but I have boxed copies of Warcraft II, Warcraft III, Warcraft III: TFT, Starcraft II: WoL and Starcraft II: HotS. I'm now downloading Starctaft II: LotV and only now do I realize that in buying that in advance, of course, I've now no reason whatsoever to buy a boxed copy. I mean, I'm a nerd and all, but I'm not buying a €50 box just for completion's sake. Still's gonna be a bit I miss, though.
Not like my computer even has a working optical drive at the moment, but the completionist in me is weeping.

This has been an issue for me. Even out of the box, it feels like I have a 50/50 chance of having a working drive and I don't want to drive out and pick up a new one.
Decomposing. ..?
