Random Fail: First World Problems

[Sepukku]

Lost my damn iPod somewhere. I know I know use your iPhone. But I use the iPod when I'm visiting garages because my iPhone is constantly on using the GPS. Anyone have a shitty iPod they want to send me?

I do the same ipod/iphone use split.

Which means no, you can't have my ipod.

But at least I won't give you shit about being dumb for having 2 devices

Does your mobo have one of those silver button-like batteries on it? Might need a new one. Plan B is maybe you have too many things plugged into the USB ports or one or two have gone bad.

Past issues I've faced, anyway.

i don't think it's either of those things, but i guess it could be. fortunately i'm already in the process of building a replacement.

[BaneTheBrawler]

aaaaand it died again. good thing i made backups of all my really important stuff

[Smokie]

Maybe a cold solder joint on the board?

I think I left my DS at a Ponderosa back in April. Downside is it has my contact info on it, so whoever has it is deliberately being a prick.

Random fail: this post taught me that Ponderosa still exists, and now I want some, but there are none near me.

Maybe a cold solder joint on the board?

that does sound more like the type of problem that would act this way. don't have a soldering gun so i can't do anything about it today, but i think i'll try laying it horizontally. maybe gravity will help me out.

LOL IT FUCKING WORKED

[arus2001]

Hand clippers crapped out on me while trying to buzz my head. Had maybe 1/4 of myself sheared when it happened. So, what usually takes about 10 minutes turned into a 45m slog as I then had to use a bunch of cheapo disposable razors to shave the rest. Real fail, however, is I have scalp psoriasis, so now my head is like a giant inflamed mass of patchy skin and I even managed to cut the mole/birthmark I have around my crown. Sleeping tonight is gonna suck.

[BaneTheBrawler]

that made me cringe, damn.

[arus2001]

Yeah, I'd still be in some pain even if the clippers did work, but it wouldn't nearly be as bad. Just kind of a catch 22 with this since if I cut it too short, I get this crap, but if I let my hair get too long, I just overheat and the psoriasis acts up anyway. I went a couple weeks longer than I usually do between buzzes this time, too, which may have contributed to the clipper death.

Wasp nest turned out to be a hornet nest. At least all them motherfuckers are dead now.

[NynJa]

FUCK THAT SHIT NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT FUCKING THING ITS STINGER HAS ITS OWN GOD DAMN TIME ZONE.


Seen some people posting ice bucket challenge videos...without the ice.

[Quixon]

That's a crazy looking fucker. I haven't seen black and white wasps ever. They are either jet black or black/yellow around here.

[Aksannyi]

What's the scale on that fucker?

Regardless, fuck that.

[bluefan]

It was only about 2cm long. The exterminator was kinda happy he got here early, apparently they're not as active. He did need to do a couple napolean dynamite dance moves though lol. The guy was dual wielding spray kill cans.

Spoiler: show

Look like bald faced hornets and very aggressive. Be careful.

The bald-faced hornet actually belongs to a genus of yellowjackets in North America, but unlike many congeners it lacks yellow coloring.[2] Instead, it is called a hornet in the American sense of a wasp that builds paper nests.[3] It is large compared to other yellowjackets, with adults averaging 2–3 cm long. It is sometimes confused with the similar-sized European hornet, the only true hornet in America, but is distinguished by its mostly white "baldfaced" head and three white stripes on the end of its abdomen.[2]

It is best known for its large, football-shaped paper nest, which it builds in the spring to rear young. The nest, one of the largest of wasp nests, can be up to 14 inches (35 cm) in diameter and 23 inches (60 cm) in length.[2] The population of a nest varies from 100 to 700 individuals, averaging around 400.[2] The bald-faced hornet is protective of the nest and will sting repeatedly if it is disturbed.[2] This wasp is more aggressive than most yellowjackets of Dolichovespula and the genus Vespula, and the nest should be observed only from a distance.

Ding ding ding, we have a Unidan.

Ugh. My night to take care of the kid and he's been tossing and turning for three hours now making a shit ton of noise. But he hasn't woken up yet. Going to be a long ass night if he doesn't wake up for a bottle.

My bf's coming to Sweden in couple of weeks, so I I've been buying a bunch of stuff I want/need from US, like a new suitcase, some hair products, designer bags.
My adventures so far resulted in Kohl's blocking nearly $1k in suitcases from my account for roughly a week, because their site kept crashing on me and my bf having to pay for the suitcase in question, Macy's not shipping to his address, returning my money, again, having the poor guy contact the customer service, buying the bag for me and having to pick it up at the nearest store, which is 50 miles from his place. I don't dare to order anything anymore. :/
Wtf, America! I'm throwing money at you! Take it!
