Woke up with the hair stylings of Ra's al Ghul.  Secret triumph post.

I woke up with Spike Spiegel hair once. Felt pretty cool until the remaining blood alcohol made me chunder.

[Ghoul]

You know what they say if you want something done properly do it yourself.

[Ghoul]

Yeah that’s fair, over here it’s not too bad in shops they have lines and they do keep people at a decent distance just going in an wearing a mask as well and just not touching face until I’ve got home and washed hands etc, when we did have a couple of online shops at the peak of people being stupid and hoarding loads of items sold out so they just chucked some random shit as a substitute. Can’t really complain though as they poor bastards working for crap wages and are pretty high risk of getting it to make sure we stay safe haha. Feels bad but that’s capitalism BBY

[Ghoul]

Yeah that’s fair, we generally try go once a week but we always run out of something random but then end up bulking up a shop so it doesn’t look like we’re being pricks and just buying one thing. Makes every trip damn expensive but ehh gotta make sure people don’t think we’re being dicks and only buying beers etc.....

What percentage of food orders does SOMETHING get fucked up for ya'll?

I'd say if I'm being generous 25% for me;  maybe more like 35% and approaching half. 

And at least half of the fuckups are fairly significant.     Like I understand that mistakes will occasionally happen;  but I do not understand how prevalent it is lol

I still can't get over McDonald's forgot the fucking bottom bun of my bigmac last year

I've ordered delivery fast food 5-6 times in my life, no fuckups.
When i got my puppy i started to order groceries online, and then i just continued doing it because i'm so god damned lazy. So over roughly two years, twice they missed something (and they refunded when i called and told them). Twice i got shit that wasn't mine, and they said keep it. Didn't really need the box of diapers though, but the ice cream was nice.

I guess i've been lucky? But i honestly don't think a business with a 30% fuckup rate would be viable here. And maybe it isn't considering the constant free delivery email spam i get from uber eats.

[VomKriege]

I don't get a lot of fuckups on deliveries but I rarely order something fancy and most places used to delivery, as you say, know the music. Don't have a ton of issues but yesterday I had something where the delivery guy apparently took the gig but didn't move and after it started running late it was switched to another. It's rare but it maps to the issues I ran with a couple of time with the cab service.

For anything elaborate I'd rather eat at the restaurant. Except Lebanese, those are always pretty on point with separating hot and cold, plus conditioning in general.

I know it's just for the proofs but I'm not the kind of person that skips proofs   

After I wrote that post, the new thing that's kicking my ass is the linear algebra for multivariate gaussians

Friggin fraudulent charge on my credit card, and my tire was flat this afternoon. I put air in it but I’m expecting to have to do it again and take it somewhere. Ugh

This is why I don't get people who want to major in math. It's the only field where you're actually expected to know stuff.

Programmers basically google everything while doctors and lawyers forget 98% of the stuff they learned that doesn't have to do with their sub-specialty. And yet mathematicians act like they're the minimalists.

learning proofs and understanding somethings derivation from first principles is orgasmic

[shosta]

Well son when one silverfish loves another silverfish...

Before silverfish reproduce, they carry out a ritual involving three phases, which may last over half an hour. In the first phase, the male and female stand face to face, their quivering antennae touching, then repeatedly back off and return to this position. In the second phase, the male runs away and the female chases him. In the third phase, the male and female stand side by side and head to tail, with the male vibrating his tail against the female.

During this pandemic have gotten screwed twice by 3rd party sellers on amazon, but just doesn't seem worth risking health to do returns for stuff <$30. After 2 months of only buying supplies and some steam games, decided to treat myself and pick up some more vinyl records to listen to. Was trying to buy a vinyl and it was older and only available from 3rd party sellers and was like $30 + shipping/tax so $37.

Ended up being the audio cd. Normally would return it cause $37 for a cd is bullshit. But best case would be go to an amazon locker and hope no one else is around and run up and put it in and leave. I don't even know if amazon lockers are allowed though since apparently 3rd party returns are handled differently.

The other time was trying to buy some foam hand soap and got empty hand soap dispensers.

Also gotten some shady/shitty quality stuff that's broken or become useless in a few weeks as I get supplies. Definitely losing at least a hundred bucks or two on this stuff during lockdown. Not the end of the world but still just feels really frustrating to lose money down the toilet for nothing. But yeah, not worth risking health over.

It's always a weird feeling seeing that people have unfriended me on FB that I thought I was cool with. 

Makes me wonder what I'm doing wrong.

When you notice someone you yourself wanted to unfriend, unfriended you already and leaves you without a decision to make.

Getting up at 5AM for work for so long hard to break the habit of early to bed / early to rise.

Plus I'm old as fuck.

I’ve consistently been waking up at 5 due to work and covid stress.

Wait until you get a few years older and they try to friend you again. Most people in their 20s into early 30s are dumbasses; some try to make up for their dumbassery in their mid 30s. Seen a decent amount of that recently.

[jorma]

tfw you call your mom to say hi on mothers day and she's just watched a documentary on epstein and another documentary on mossad *sigh*

and then when she asks "you wouldn't knowingly eat poison, would you?" you already know the topic's not going to be about smoking weed, but  another anti vaccination rant. Apparently i should google Bill Gates?
And yeah i know the premier scientists in the field don't get to speak in MSM, you told me last time mom. How to they keep getting away with it!?

but anyway happy mothers day mom, still love you even though you grew kinda crazy when you moved back to the polar circle

Probably me, tbh. I deleted like most the bire when I deleted Shosty n Glen. Left the fb group too. Was gonna dip, but decided naw fuck the people who are pissing me off and then Glen left shorty after I unfriended him 🤷‍♀️ At the time you had been gone forever in my mind.

I added you back tho bby

The only way my dog lets me brush her is if I let her lick from a peanut butter jar while doing it.  So if it makes you feel better, at least I wasn't grooming you while you did it.  It's not that shameful.   

[CatsCatsCats]

Spoonful of peanut butter is a nice lil snack

[Madrun Badrun]

I'd make your coat shine. 

[CatsCatsCats]

If you wanna brush my hair whilst I snack, I have no issues with that.

I use one of those gloves on my shibe, he's alright with it until he gets over excited and starts trying to eat the fluff we've just taken off him...


My annoyance has been the fuck ups with the house the solicitors basically did nothing for three months,

Now we're having issues getting mortgage extended because the pandemic work cut pay by 20% temporarily, but now the mortgage provider has basically cut the offer by 70K which is shit as we needed the full amount to obviously buy the house, the broker we have is being shit, as the one we did have that was great is now on furlough.. So we have this useless bitch that cuts calls short and doesn't reply to emails. So at the moment we're looking at other brokers that can get us an offer, but it's just a bit painful after spending money already, but I think I'll be arguing for a refund as technically they haven't provided the service they should.
