minor inconveniences that are not struggles

Anecdotally weed discourages dreams iirc

New iOS is p ugly tbh

Too scared to update my iPhone 7

If you have any 32b apps you're attached to, don't update. iOS 11 is 64b only, IIRC.

[Switters]

Uh.. Hi. I'm new.. and old (from GAF).. and actually old. My minor inconvenience is suicidal ideation and not being able to figure out why an avatar I'm hosting on imgur is not showing up. Is there something I'm missing? A father figure or not having the image scaled correctly? I hope you all have a great night.

yep, my dreams have been wild since I've had to stop from this dental crap.

also desert punk, just don't update to 11. it's ugly, runs poorly, and kills your battery :'(

[seagrams hotsauce]

yeah 11 fuckin blows. Nothing but headaches and my phone dies all the time. Screen recording is the only really neat thing and I barely use it anyway

The giant headers piss me off

I thought the banner was bugged for the past couple of days. Turns out I accidentally hid it with that tiny arrow in the top right corner which I only just noticed now is a thing.

A big chunk of the last two months at work have been spent upgrading everyone's PCs from Windows 7 to Windows 10.  One thing that is incredible minor, and yet still continues to produce a large volume of questions on, are Citrix Receiver prompts.  You would think that something asking you to enter your password and save it would be self-explanatory, but nope...tons of phone calls from people asking "WHY DOES THIS KEEP COMING UP?!?!?!?!" all the time.  They always seem so surprised that there is an option to SAVE THE FUCKING PASSWORD.  It's literally the only option on the prompt that comes up.  You can't miss it...but somehow 99% of the people do.

I upgraded to the last update the one that gives you game mode, fuck I miss windows 7.

if its something that happens to 99% of people its bad design

I don't know why that reminded me. But I remember telling an employee "I need an inventory of all our computers, their serial numbers and their hardware specs." 3 days later he shows up with two print outs.

"Here's the serial numbers." He says handing me  one sheet with a bunch of serial numbers on it.
"And here's the specs" He hands me another sheet with just specs and nothing else.

I was like, "So....how do I know what serial number has what specs?"

He was like

I got that update on my recently-purchased laptop.  Made performance shit and the fans went crazy.  Immediately rolled back.

Lost 35 pounds this year but I'm getting fat again 

[TVC15]

Realized today I know a real life honest to God flat earther.

I'm friends with the "dumb girl" from my high school on FB mainly because she posts the dumbest imaginable shit, and she's all in on flat earth. Also: 4 kids from 4 dads, if you're looking for some dumb white girl booty action, Mups.

[brawndolicious]

I've officially reached the point where the majority of my work is finding problems other people caused due to laziness/ignorance and then being tasked with fixing them. Not a struggle since my options trading is paying off with 70% returns in the 10 days I've started. That's totally cool.

I'm just flowing through a zero sum white collar life.

SO I shared this with Chrono, but I had completely unexpected open heart surgery about 3 1/2 weeks ago. I went into urgent care thinking I had inhaled a lot of wildfire smoke on a long run, but ended getting admitted to the ER with mitral valve regurgitation. One of my hearts valve’s busted and my lung was filling with blood. No pain or anything, just felt like I had a bad cold. Spent a week in the hospital before coming home where I can’t drive, can’t lift more than ten pounds, etc. until November 8th. Aside from that my heart is super healthy, but gonna have to do cardiac rehab and relearn how to run. No marathons for me for a while. Crazy.

Glad you're doing OK.

glad you're fine and on the mend man, bless

Damn Gundam. I'm so glad everything turned out okay.

Whoa that's scary. Glad you're okay.

[Mr. Gundam]

I was super calm and relaxed about everything in the hospital. My wife and my parents were freaking out, id never seen my dad scared. Ever. That was unsettling. Prior to being admitted to cardiac ICU I hated needles and getting shots but I just accepted my fate once I was there. Need to put multiple IVs in me? Sure. Hardline blood pressure monitor in my right arm? Yeah, go for it. Gotta crack my chest open and repair my valve? Ok, that’s cool. Have fun.

However. Catheters are the fucking devil. I begged and pleaded with a nurse to not put one back in. Fuuuuck no.

The hardest thing for me is that I get tired just walking around my house and the neighborhood. Stairs, hills and any sort of incline wipe me out and I need to take a nap. And I’ve got a big box pills I take twice a day. I’m normally super active. It’s tough feeling like an old man.

[brawndolicious]

You'll get better. Best thing to do is come up with a plan where you have a lot of prescribed downtime and fitness goals. I've always been a fast healer and your doctors will probably be impressed with your progress too since you're young and healthy, but it's easy to get frustrated by your rate of progress when you just want to get back to normal life. I've had a lot of surgery recoveries and you're always going to go a little stir crazy while your body is still figuring out the order it was put back together.

And catheters be the devil.

[jacob.armitage]

Well, i was going to post something stupid but instead i'll just say good luck w/ the recovery Mr. Gundam .

[Diunx]

I want to shave but have a big zit in near my chin.

[thisismyusername]

Everything. And nothing.

Shit is hard to explain, but I'm not sure I'm a good place currently with various factors plugging in.

[Scrooged]

Having a separate remote for my TV to adjust the volume.  I could probably get one of those fancy all-in-one things, but I'm too lazy to bother.

[Rufus]

Fucked up my sleep schedule to follow forum drama.

[Tasty]

Didn't realize you have to manually transfer your save to the cloud when changing devices for Yugioh Duel Links. Fucking Konami.

Pokemon Go and Pocket Morties just worked.

[EarthBound64]

GAF dying.
 

[Valkyrie]

Gaf is leaking into ~*~muh safe space~*~ threads. Hashtag scared

[team filler]

I'd be enjoying myself a lot more if it were just the regulars here making fun of gaf's current state.

[Huff]

Holy shit gundam, glad you're recovering well. I assume you're good and have people, but feel free to hit me up if any medication questions come up for you

Ive got a great support system. My wife has been awesome, our friends are supportive and my parents have been up here a ton helping get our daughter to school while I’ve been recovering. We also have a close friend who is a pharmacist (at the University hospital I ended up going to for surgery) who has been incredibly helpful with random questions.

I’m not frustrated or angry or anything, but it’s pretty insane how the most basic activities sap me of any and all energy I might have. Looking forward to cardiac rehab in a couple weeks so I can start running again in the future.

[Clockwork]

The torsion spring on my garage door snapped so I can't open the door.

Nobody that can fix it is open today.

My car is in the garage.

[Mr. Gundam]

Walk? Public transit?

[BlueTsunami]

When you go for that third piece of greasy pepperoni and sausage pizza and instantly regret it when you realize you'll be holding the fart generated from it for the next hour and a half as you watch Steven Spielbergs Gremlins with this chick

[Cryo]

My sleep schedule has been fucked ever since a halloween party from the past weekend, leading me to take my meds at inconsistent times of the day, leading to really awful brain zaps. Feeling like Chuck outchea

... and you post this in the minor inconveniences thread? What are you gonna keep in store for the Struggles thread? A band of mutant pitts devoured your 4 limbs and it's kinda unfortunate?

Anyway, good it all went smoothly. Take care.

Had a carb cheat day yesterday and, as always, my guts have been a roiling ass cauldron all day.

I'm glad you're doing okay. That had to be a terrifying experience.

Now tell us more about the catheterization process and how it made you feel?

[Valkyrie]

Sending you good thoughts, Mr Gundam! Sorry that shit happened to you, glad to hear you're recovering well though.

[TVC15]

Anyway, my struggle:

I had two small bowls of Kashi with whole milk and two cups of black sexy coffee and my ADHD medication. A half hour later I was bazooka vomiting in the work bathroom and the last couple spurts were bright red fluid. I guess that could have been coffee mixed with milk, but I had the coffee last, so it came out first, and it certainly didn't taste like coffee. My taste buds were pretty fried at that point. I spent about 20 minutes half assedly cleaning the work bathroom before quitting and letting the mexican cleaning people deal with when they come in. When I say "bazooka" I mean the floor and toilet were covered and it was all over the walls, too. I think I got most chunks taken care of, but it still looks like everything is covered in technicolored bodily fluids to a certain extent.

[Mochilador]

BORE is not mobile friendly. =(

[studyguy]

It was 102 today and I thought it was gonna be cold so I took a long sleeve to work. Whew.

[chronovore]

BORE is not mobile friendly. =(

We argue that Tapatalk is the preferred mobile Bore experience, but Tapatalk is also shitty. 

[El Babua]

Glad you're OK Gundam! Get better!

And yeah, Tapatalk never clicked with me.

[Beezy]

I'm hoping this is a minor inconvenience, but my cat made this unusual wail about two hours ago and hasn't seemed to be himself since. He hasn't made another noise, he reacts really slowly or not at all when we call his name, and his hind legs seem really weak when he walks. He actually hasn't moved much since. I'm gonna go into work late or call out completely tomorrow so that I can take him to the vet in the morning.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Dude, hope it's ok.
My cat did the same thing and ran under a shelf on three legs and stayed there a good long while. I gave him some food and waited til morning. Next day, he was as good as ever. Hope that's the case here.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Working late tonight. Instead of Anaplan I keep typing Analplan.
