I think I scheduled two car payments for tomorrow and there's no way to cancel one at this point. I have the money to cover both, but I was considering buy some stuff to further spruce up my apartment, since I can't really go anywhere right now.

In between an inconvenience and a struggle but I can't afford my piano lessons right now.

Some initial experiments I was really hopeful about don't seem to be panning out.

Tasty · « **Reply #7688 on:** May 03, 2020, 10:57:22 AM »

I've been doing virtual lessons via TakeLessons.com and it's been cost-effective but they require you to pay a month's in advance and I just can't right now.

Also been unable to upgrade my keyboard to one with weighted keys too. I feel like a failure on this.

Maybe this would be better in the struggle thread...

Amazon knows that the people who like Sorbo Christian movies are vocally resistant cucks. Your reviews say no but your dirty word view says yes.

A lot of normal people are making work calls using their personal phones instead of workplace landlines since they're stuck at home. I almost declined a call I was expecting yesterday since the phone number was from British Columbia.

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 · « **Reply #7721 on:** May 16, 2020, 06:21:59 PM »

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 · « **Reply #7724 on:** May 17, 2020, 01:49:57 PM »

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

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.

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.

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