Yes. But you'll also be losing against yourself.
Right! Guess I need to go to bed now.
Oh thanks! Excellent idea.
*****
Non-complaints: Going to see Fantastic Four tomorrow (if I get through the workday). Was able to get playtest rulebook for the latest version of Mutants & Masterminds (superhero RPG I love). My 2 dogs wanted lots & lots of love tonight, so I had 2 sizeable (60 & 75 pound) puppers snuggling me. I guess they really loved the French fries I shared with them.
...the box probably had more dietary fibre than the contents.

...when i gtew up we had one of these
..Yeah, defrosting was an every two to three month ritual.
________________________________________________________________
...had an update to my phone's software the other day which turned on a lot of the "crapware" I spent time disabling while it overwrote a number of my preferences, returning them to factory default..
I wish it would give you the choice to update or not

Ugh, another heat wave on the way, worst of the summer so far which will last several days with highs in the mid to upper 90s and possibly even above 100°
At least no wildfires....yet.
It is raining but I don't have a clue where my umbrella is.
Idea: Sew a pocket into the umbrella and keep a smartphone in it. Then when you lose your umbrella, you can just dial the phone or look up its location with an app.
That idea could work for yourself too. When you get lost, you can just dial the phone and ask it where it is, and there you are.
Non-complaint: I think the roof work is almost done.
'Nother non-complaint: I didn't make it to the symphony at Chautauqua last week, so I have a few dollars to spend on a mini-adventure uptown this week. Morning bus to the decrepit old strip mall where my favorite breakfast cafe' is. Then pick up a Subway sub-sandwich from the same area, then a short Uber to a proper grocery store, then a toddle across the street to the post office for stamps, and finally an Uber back home. Wheee... an adventure!
And yet another non-complaint: My BFF from high school (six decades ago
) is coming into town from NYC again. Will do a lunch with him, in a week or so, and catch up on his life in the Big Apple.
I rather use an AirTag. They are cheaper than a phone.
@Kyoto Kid, I am pretty sure that somewhere I still have the Official branded Frigidaire ice scraper (c. 50s or 60s) for my childhood home's refrigerator.
Non-Compliant Finger is healing quite nicely.
I am filled with apprehension as I prepare for tomorrow, when a group of individuals who refer to themselves as "doctors" will use a needle to extract some of my bone marrow. The thought of this medical procedure, often associated with alien abductions in popular culture, has left me feeling anxious and vulnerable.
I am playing RuneScape 3. I'm working on mining. One player said "your kind don't belong here." Who was that player to say that? They know nothIng about me.
@AgitatedRiot - Wishing you some zen as you face down your procedure. Let your providers know you're nervous, and if they're worth the paper their license is printed on, they'll do their best to help with that. I think often medical professionals forget that while the procedure is just a day that ends in -y to them, it can be scary for the person going through it.
@SfariahD - Every MMORPG has folk like that, unfortunately. Little people who try to make themselves feel big in spaces where they feel like they're invulnerable. I don't know anything about that game in particular, but often you can report people like that to their guild/kinship/whatever, or there's some in-game way to flag it for bullying in a way that the People In Charge can enact some consequences. Your call on if it's worth your spoons to do it or not.
@LeatherGryphon - Yay roof!!
Non-complaint: My favorite breakfast cafe' now serves Sausage Gravy on Biscuits. Yay!
Previously, I had to wait for rare opportunities to get to one of the few places that serve it around here. And it was done right too. Hot, thermally and spiceally, on soft baking soda biscuits. Mmmm... savory comfort food. I even asked the long time server if "Gravy & Biscuits" had been on the menu all the time and I was just unobservant. But she said, yeah, they had just added it. Yay, I'm not totally senile yet.
Complaint: The bus was too quick this morning and I was done with breakfast before the "Subway" was open, so no sub-sandwich today.
Non-complaint: But the rest of the trip was as planned, got to the postoffice for stamps, got to the drugstore, and got to the grocery store. Picked up a big bag of cherries. Mmmm..., cherries.
And all was done before the Uber rates skyrocketed for lunchtime.
Complaint: When did postal stamps get so expensive? $19.50 for 20.
Non-complaint: I got a half-dollar coin as change for the stamps.
I hadn't had a half-dollar coin in my pocket for decades.
Last night someone was trying to give them money in promise of money. I was messaging them while focusing on the game I was playing. They accused me of saying they are a bad person. I didn't say anything about what I think about them.
I replied this morning about them needing to get help. Don't worry. I was not going to give them any money or screenshots of my cashapp balance as it is not their business.
on other notes, I think I want a pet rock. I lost my old one after his eyes fell off.
Got a used tv and it won't turn on. I also didn't get the remote.
Take it back and ask for a full refund. It is probably not worth paying to get it fixed.
non-complaint: Thunderstorms are making a lovely light show out my window and giving the world a watering it could very much use after a lot of hot and rainless days. Hoping it takes down the temperature, and maybe even the wildfire smoke.
complaint: The bike trail along the main busy street was supposed to be completed this week, but "private utility work continues to delay the progress." There's no new ETA. I am displeased. Walking on the shoulder of that street isn't safe, especially with a wagon-stroller; there's no way to dodge a careless driver, and way too many people go over the speed limit and don't pay proper attention on that road. The trail's there for a reason. It's been more than a month that it's been all torn up, and a lot of that time there was clearly no actual work being done on any part of it. Argh.
....road construction signs should read "Road Destruction Ahead"..
Non complaint: I found this cup on sale while job hunting at my favorite mall. And it is affordable with cas and my PayPal balance for tax.
Complaint the information paper is too small to read.
Non complaint my iPad has a camera and Chick-fil-A in the food court has free WiFi.
complaint: that thing says something about room temperature water. I understand the hot water part but why can I not use room temperature water. I don't own an ice tray and I keep my water filters on the counter.
non complaint, a guy came up to me. He apparently ordered a burrito at the taco Hispanic restaurant. He ate one half and gave me the other half. It wasn't touched by time I got it but I took a few bites before taking a picture of it.
complaint, I was having issues with my left shoe's laces coming undone. I apparently tied it too tight and it is starting to hurt,
My friend used to say that exact thing...Road destruction!
..they also need "Rough Road Ahead" signs with all the potholes we have here. There is one stretch of a fairly major street where it is so bad it almost feels like you're "off-roading". as the sirgace is so pitted.
We don't get the harsh winters like in the upper Midwest and back east (where it gets below 0° F and requires for use of road salt) however the state here allows studded tyres which grind up the road surface (particularly by heavy SUVs and those muster extended cab pickup trucks) On the average we get about three days a year where in the city where streets are actually snow covered (at most a couple inches that melts by afternoon) or icy. Most of the winter the streets are just wet.
Interstingly, two states, MInnesota and Wisconoisn which get several months of "real winter" (with subzero temperatures) ban studded tyres.
I heard that Minisota have Vikings and those Vikings are the only Vikings who have horns on their helmets.
I was thinking of Forgotten Baby syndrome. I just saw a PSA on tv about it.
Minisota: Tiny soft drink
We're just expected to know how to drive on it.
Complaint: My porch light went catatonic. I've had a motion detection porch light for at least 10 years. A few days ago it came on and won't go out even in the daytime.
So I ordered a new one. Looks very similar to the old one, but might be a newer model. The new one is doing the same thing.
Complaint: My porch security camera went mute: My cheap security camera that I bought a few weeks ago, has decided that it won't connect to my network anymore.
Yes, I admit, I had a new WiFi tranceiver installed recently when the phone company switched me from DSL to Fiber, but I've configured the security camera with the new network info & key, and it still doesn't work.
Mni Sota Makoce - Dakota for "land where the waters reflect the clouds" (often translated to "land of sky blue waters")
They finally put it on our state seal, which I'm happy about. (We got a new flag, too, which a lot of people complained about and I think is lovely. The old one was awful, for numerous reasons.)
I recently saw a news report about how some people had stolen the cones and barriers from a construction site. The construction workers went on about how this is very unsafe. But I felt like I could understand why those things would be stolen.
I don’t think they were planning on adding the construction cones to their collection of stolen artifacts from around the world. I might do that but I don’t think they did.
Rather, I think it was done out of frustration. It seems like the construction workers just put the barriers in place and leave. Then you don’t see them again for years. And people have to choose an alternate route while driving around this road that remains blocked for years with no apparent progress. At least stealing the cones made the construction workers appear again. By now, they’ve probably put down new cones and disappeared again. For years.
Still breathing. And wondering what happened to my pet rock.
Mine didn't have eyes. It was an official pet rock, it came in a box with a care manual.
