Random Fail: First World Problems

[dasva]

My new apartment has a hair trigger smoke detector.

I'm trying to cook bacon, please shut up.

I have similar problem. They installed new ones a year or 2 back. Pretty much any kind of cooking that results in enough steam or smoke to get to it (and it's all of like 10 feet away from stove) will make it go off. Actually ends up being one of the side benefits of sous vide. None of my proteins stay long on a heated surface to really generate much. Before that I'd just have to unplug both my detectors since the other one is literally on the other side of the door frame from the first one. Genius position there guys

Since i started working again i have had maybe two alcoholic beverages, both mixed drinks. Getting drunk requires enough booze that it bothers my guts for around a week or so, so i get at most tipsy. And even that not really. Always gotta drive home.

Have you tried butt chugging? Good way to quickly get drunk induce alcohol poisoning that avoids most your guts

Maybe it'll jog things loose for him too. Seems like a win-win.

My last resort at a bar is usually makers on the rocks, I tend to stay away from anything Irish or scotch.

I've never had Makers, but then again I'm not really a whiskey person. I'm more of a cognac person even though I've only had Hennessy, Courvoisier, and I think Martell. Oh, I guess Alize's cognac based liqueurs. Courvoisier is on the sweet side to me but it's my go to if I don't want the (slight) bite of Hennessy.

What about Grand Marnier? Or non cognac brandies? Korbel's is actually pretty good

Well here's a fail looking up movie times for upcoming weekend get a basic idea maybe plan ahead a little as I know there will be things I want to see. Nope no listings not even what movies are playing from this Friday all the way until the Monday after next. But yeah they totally got full times for movies a month from now <.<

I thought i dislocated my big toe out on the lake this morning. I popped it back into place but I suspect it is not as simple as that because it now swollen as fuck and hurts like a bitch. Probably does not help I did it at like 10am and then just walked around on it all day anyway (in water at least though)

The sneakers I wear to work have worn out. The heel can't support itself anymore and gets crumpled up against/under my heel as I walk and drive. Was looking to pick up a pair of Ultraboosts with the 15% off from the newsletter. Both myself and the wifey have signed up the newsletter and 4 hours later still no coupon code. What kind of shit system is adidas running?

I'm sincerely sorry to hear this.
As someone who has been through it personally more times than I'd like to admit , I know how devastating this can be.
I know it feels very personal and rightfully so , but please try not to blame yourself or allow her to either. Just be there for each other more now than ever.

Please also know that there is often NOTHING ANYONE DID WRONG. I realize that brings little to no comfort right now however you have my heartfelt sympathy to you and your girlfriend during this time.

Was it the first try? My wife lost the first, supposedly it's pretty common if the first try is around 30 years old.

Yes it was

[BaneTheBrawler]

sorry man. as ast mentions, not your fault. miscarriages are actually pretty common. if it helps, usually it's because there's actually something wrong with the fetus itself. severe defect or something along those lines.

iirc this one was an accident but you guys seemed psyched about it so maybe keep trying. does sometimes take a few tries.

[kuronosan]

As someone who watched his wife go through this, don't blame yourselves.

Biology is biology and after conception you have little effect on the outcome.

[Zetanio]

sorry homie that shit sucks dick.

If its via Adidas, I'm fairly certain that coupons such as that one do not work on Ultraboost's, although they may work on other boost's like pures. This used to be the case at least, there is actually a fine print somewhere either on the shoe or coupon page.

Firstly, I'm very sorry to hear that. You seemed extremely excited and were sounding like you would have been great at being a father.

But do not ever for one second think that you aren't deserving, that's some bullshit. As mentioned already, it's biology, not you, get that garbage out of your head. You'll be a Dad one day and you'll be great at it, just not this time around.

Stay positive. You have to be, not only for yourself but for her.

As much shit I give to ya, this truly does hurt. My sincerest condolences.

You are definitely deserving.
