minor inconveniences that are not struggles

I ate like 4 pounds of ice cream with Steve Contra today. Who wants to make a bet on what happens in the bathroom over the next 24 hours?

You and contra re-in acting 2 boyz 1 cup

[brawndolicious]

My car had a spark issue on cylinder number 1 and went into limp mode right as soon as I entered the highway. Had to drive the next mile and a half restricted to 40 mph on a highway with absolutely no traffic before I could exit.

Took out my handy-dandy OBD2 scanner and googled the error code. Confirmed there was a lack of spark by unplugging/plugging coil packs which made a difference in engine note for every cylinder except cylinder 1. Also noticed that the cylinder 1 coil pack was way over-torqued indicating fuckery by somebody (previous owner?) who may have taken out a spark plug to look at it and then dropped it or some shit.

Lucky thing is I ordered a set of spark plugs a couple weeks ago because I was a couple thousand miles away from their service interval. Now I'm hoping the wires/coil pack aren't the problem and that driving 10 or so miles home at low speed didn't foul the catalytic converter due to the unburnt fuel.

My condolences for the minty eyeball scraping.

How would you rank the pain? Just for future reference.

Chilli?
Tiger Balm?
Discount/off-brand sour candy where the sour coating can rub off easily and one piece is enough to dissolve your tongue meats?
All manners of naturally occurring acid (citrus juice, vinegar, etc)?
Aromatic Oil squirts (from squishing citrus fruit skin)?

Going to https://panopticlick.eff.org/ to check the fingerprintability... trackability... uh, privacy leakage of my browser.

Ublock Origin engages and stops the test midway through.

uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading:

Wat do.  Still, good to see that all evil trackers get shafted. 

Oh well, when I allow the relevant domains temporarily I can finish the test. My identifying information is now down to 20.3 Bits. Good enough I guess. Not gonna fuck with the User Agent for fear of actually increasing my profile, and I don't think futzing with HTTP_ACCEPT header is a good idea either.

Or Tiger Balm.
Or sour candy residue.

Just saying.  :'(

Also helpful: Wash your hands before going to the toilet to avoid having your mournful wails echo through the building. (Also afterwards, because you're not a filthy savage, I guess.)

I managed to get over it with thorough washing and about 10 minutes of mewling and whining. Probably off-brand sour candy, but it was a long 10 minutes.

Sour candy residue

On this topic: dont jerk off if you have chili residue on your hands

I didn't know you had to wear gloves while cutting habaneros. I also found out that the skin on your ballsack doesn't have a protective layering. It was a fun evening. The tacos were great.

[Corporal]

Don't disrespect sour discount candy, Lager. That stuff could -and would- cause acid burns when it came into contact with moisture and/or tender meats. Caused blisters and shit.

Kinda-sorta like those Center Shock chewing gums some poor unfortunate kids find in their trick or treat bags if some asshole like me lives anywhere on their Halloween route. Only on steroids, much longer lasting and vicious.

Haven't seen them in a decade or so, they probably got done in for teeth melting and mouth burning.

Edit: Amazon review of center shock/centre shock:

burns my tongue everytime I chew it. By burn I mean it actually damages tissue and I get blisters. I’ve had this candy back in India from a different manufacturer apparently and it was safe. This shouldn’t be on sale here.

So there's apparently regional differences.
Also, that reviewer is a wuss.

The year is 199x, you have more AC/DC adapters than you could possibly ever use, better still, you don't know where any of them came from except the ones from your Gameboy and/or Game Gear

The year is 2018, you can't find a single fucking one of those mother fuckers anywhere in your house

 Agreed, except the  adapters  that you can find you don’t remember what they were supposed to connect to, but you are too afraid to throw them away because you might eventually figure out which device it was supposed to be powering.

[Tasty]

Fuck Comcast.

I cut the cable cord two years ago and haven't looked back. Got sick of how my bill would be one number one month and then $40 more expensive the next with no warning or real reason. Also got really sick of their rental fees for their own equipment.

Get your own modem and your own router (two separate devices is preferred), tell Comcast to shove their bundles up their ass, and sign up for their fastest internet plan with no promotions. They'll try to talk you into something ("You'll save $150 for the first three months!!") but personally I value consistency with bills.

The roller coaster bill pricing got so fucking bad I made a spreadsheet for it before I cut the cord:



See that nice straight line at the end? That was post-cord-cutting (March 2016.)

Fuck Comcast.

Order an item through Etsy, brehs. Get the "package" delivered, brehs. No items in the package and it's been cut open by USPS (or customs). Contact the (Polish) seller and Etsy. No response from either. Have to escalate it into a phonecall to chew them out about it. Get a refund.

I lost about a quarter of this month's adderall prescription in Chicago during St Patty's Day weekend.
Facing my annual deadline this week and I'm all out of focus now.  Caffeine isn't doing the trick.

Spending more time on the Bore though.

Trying to get people to listen to your music is a depressing experience. Shit, I don't really care if my music is eviscerated as long as I get people to just listen to it   

I've been resorting to taking a fucking Coursera course on digital marketing.. I'm sure the likes, listens and drugs will be rolling in soon. Cocaine here we go

I must forewarn you though...I don't like plebeian music

Stylistically speaking, what artists/musicians are your main influences?

Post-punk is kinda hit or miss for me personally.

I typically crave percussion and/or a rhythm that I can groove to.

ubuntu

I'm not allowed to dualboot on my work Laptop (the exact wording of the word from above included at least one count of "so help me god" and a stank eye from the backup guy), so now I'm rolling a WSL installation while a server backup is crawling along under my somewhat watchful eyes. And that starts with getting one of the appx packages off the windows store (bypassable if you know the exact URL of the appx package which is out there, thankfully). I chose Ubuntu. Because it was the first on the list.

And after that thing is all patched up and raring to go (out of courtesy), I'm gonna switch over to something else. Probably Vanilla-ass Debian, mostly because I have always been using it whenever the Linux bug bit me (aside from a few fiery affairs with SuSE, despite her YeaST infection). What can I say, as my body starts to decompose further, I appear to seek the comfort of the familiar - like that crufty finely aged heap of mold.

Next up, X server and XFCE. Seems pretty straight forward.

Getting paid to install Linux. Well, not technically, but still.

Let me give you an example. It was almost a minute before you got anywhere interesting. Anyone, anywhere do "Ooooooooooom". I see what you were going for with the layers and placing it together but it needs to be tighter in general. I found myself being like "Oh, that's clever..." <almost a minute later> "Yeah, I got the idea." Nevertheless full of promise. Good job.

Go a 25€ and a 50€ eshop card because they were 30% off and I ended up destroying the code of the 50€ card. 

Feel like a dumb child, used a ruler to scratch the code, probably wouldn't have happened with a coin.

Trying to get people to listen to your music is a depressing experience. Shit, I don't really care if my music is eviscerated as long as I get people to just listen to it   

I've been resorting to taking a fucking Coursera course on digital marketing.. I'm sure the likes, listens and drugs will be rolling in soon. Cocaine here we go 

Theres some basic stuff anyone should do online imo, eg putting your shit everywhere (soundcloud, bandcamp, hell youtube and ig) and pushing new stuff to twitter and fb. if possible putting visuals to your material is probably helpful too. tho my suggestion is try not to limit your focus to promoting yourself online. look into the local scenes, try and hobnob with other artists and get on or put together shows. if you're not established, getting in front of people who come to a venue specifically to listen to music is probably a more effective way of getting exposure that trying to exclusively promote yourself on platforms that are flooded with other people who are trying to accomplish the same thing.

And no disrespect to puppy who obviously knows what he's talking about but I'd take individual non-technical criticisms with a grain of salt. it's a personal thing but i'm a firm believer that art should primarily cater the tastes and ideals of the artist themselves. i know that's very self indulgent, and it isn't an absolute, but art is subjective and you lose any agency over it's interpretation as soon as you put it out in the world, so you might as well do what you think is the dopest, you feel me? I generally believe if you can make something that both interesting and genuine it'll resonate with people and eventually find an audience

Yeah. He's not wrong. There are songs and such that I know are just technically very bad but the artist is so earnest about it and believes so much that it gives the songs wings. Comittment is a quality all its own
