Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!



Har har har.

Seriously though, even if I wasn't streaming, VOIP is too important in modern multiplayer games to NOT use it. You place your team at a severe disadvantage if you're not in instant verbal communication.
Oh man, I remember the original tf days on quake, I had to make a bunch of keybinds on my keyboard to call out enemies and where they were in text for me lol

Advice: if you are going to descale the Keurig coffee pot, warn your significant other. Because you know what's gross? A mouthful of hot vinegar coffee.
It took me about 2hours to get this taste out my mouth. I guess I should have known something was wrong when the cream instantly curdled.
 
Uuuuuuuuuugh.

Guys? I'm siiiiiiiiiick
I hate being siiiiiiiiick.

When I'm sick, I become a giant whiner baby.
Well...a bigger whiner baby than usual.
 
There have been several posts on these boards that have been SCREAMING for the meme response #JLNPN, but I refuse to touch it.

The horror... the horror... the work fridge is full of Diet Dr Pepper. It tastes like... somebody put out a campfire, then mopped up the water, squeezed it out into a bucket, then poured that into cans.
 
I'm home and I've got a cold. So do both of my kids. I'm washing sheets and I won't discuss what I had to deal with after lunch. Thankfully we have a sanitary cycle on the washer. My daughter is taking it easy but my son needs to crawl on me and sleep on me.

FML[DOUBLEPOST=1482179822,1482179319][/DOUBLEPOST]And the room we're watching tv in smells like poop.

And I can't drink :(
 
I assume the kid is disowned and will be sleeping on the lawn (yes, under the snow) for the foreseeable future?

Imagine the nerve, handing you a DIET Coke... :facepalm:

You know what else is not nice? Accidentally mixing up the quart of cream in the fridge with the quart of liquid egg whites.
So far, I've caught myself each time, but there may be that morning when I'm still just a little bit too sleepy, and then...

As long as the coffee is hot enough you're just going to have eggs and coffee together, though you may want to wait a minute or two for cooking to complete.

Easy to tell, just stomp on the gas from a stop and see if you get a big cloud of maple syrup-ish scented white smoke out of the tailpipe.

Mine's much slower and entirely inside the engine compartment. My particular make/model is notorious for head gasket problems which lead to oil leaking drop by drop directly onto the heat shield, causing stinky smoke in the engine bay >_<

So, basically I get to drop a grand or so, most of which will go to labor.

A failing head gasket will allow coolant and oil to slowly trade places, meaning your exhaust burns some coolant (white, sweet-smelling smoke), and oil gets in your radiator (making your coolant look like thin chocolate milk), but nothing actually leaves the engine to get on the floor, etc.
A failing valve cover gasket lets your engine spit oil onto the surrounding parts, leading to a burnt oil smell under the hood and occasional oil on the floor. Valve cover gaskets are usually cheaper to repair.
I mean, unless engines have changed significantly since I had to have the valve cover gasket in my 1989 Mazda 323 (I had the "saloon" model) replaced for that same reason.

I think you're right. I hope you're right. A valve cover gasket job is about $100-150 instead of the $1000-1200 a head gasket would be.
 
Just got my second flat tire in just over a month. Luckily, it appears to be one of the ones I just bought and should still be under warranty, but still. :mad:
 
I went to see my friends at work today for a quick visit. It was great to see them. Sadly, it brought up a lot of the things that upset me about work over the last year. How verbally abusive and just mean my boss was and how upset I was over being harassed by my coworker and having to discipline her myself because my boss wouldn't and being forbidden to escalate the issue. It also made me really sad about how unwell I still am after all this time off. My husband is wonderful and listened to me for hours (thank you!!), but there isn't anything he can do. There isn't anything I can do either. It's just sad that a great visit to catch up with friends got me thinking about so many other things. I guess that I needed to process some of this but by the end, I was just upset and probably repeating myself a lot. So now, I'm just stressed out and maybe even angry.

When I'm this stressed out, I either get hives or can't sleep. I'm doing both at the moment.

If I try to find something positive about this, I will get a ton of laundry done and edit the pictures I took of the kids today. I had to bribe them with Pokemon cards, but I think it was $25 (ish?) dollars well spent. Still less than hiring a photographer or paying a session fee at a studio.

I'd been going through my own crap at work - a horrible atmosphere and bullying people, not just towards me, but just in general mean abusive people - and zupervisers that just do not care. I got myself out of there a month ago now, to a different part of the company. So that's good.

I need to not think about that place, because I get angry and frustrated and bring myself down again, as happened to you. At least I don't get hives.
 
I finally spilled something on my mechanical keyboard, and I missed getting it out from under 3 keys, and I can't find the keypuller that came with the keyboard to clean them.

If there's enough room, you can easily unwrap a paper clip and bend the two ends into a tight hook to snag the keycap.
