The Not Happy Thread

Anyway this discussion is irrelevant as this current tournament is on ITV. Damn those one-ad commercial breaks between frames!

 

I was out drinking Saturday - so no angst there! But I do work tomorrow...

 

I'll try to fit it in. TOS and TNG are my two favorites, DS9 is alright and Discovery I didn't watch to much because I wasn't really interested in TV at that point, more into gaming and writing.

As for WH40k, i loved that when I was younger, saddly my temper kept me from doing much battling. But the few times I did were pretty sweet, I played Marines till I learned the versatility the Sisters of Battle where. I still had my Marine units but also incorporated Storm Trooper units. My army was all mechanized, as for my Marines, I liked playing with Apothecary Sgts and Plasma weapons.

What really killed the game for me however other than the Price of the models, was the damn Necrons. I hate them, they should not be in the game, and I learned quickly how boring fighting the Tau are, to the point I had to fake a call from my mom.

 

To Boldly Sleep with one alien woman per episode.

 

War.... War never changes... in the Dark and Grim future, Man only knows War. So gear up those Plasma weapons, equipped your best Power Armor and let's get rock'n it in the Universe.

Side note: I kinda of miss playing but at the same time fear my temper getting the best of me if I were to play.

 

They have a good size library of computer games, ranging from first/third shooter to real time strategy.

I have no idea what WH40k is, but I keep reading it as "We Hug Forty Kangaroos." Am I close?

 

Close enough, LOL. .

Warhammer 40,000

 

Hey, I’d be up for hugging 40 kangaroos...although I’ve heard they have a nasty disposition. ETA: which makes them perfect for this Not Happy thread...

 

Why haven't the food-preservation advancements we're all seeing these days, happened with bread? When I was a kid a pint of milk would last three days at best - now it lasts well over a fortnight, opened. But the reverse seems to have happened where bread is concerned. I bought a loaf of Warby's today, and when I opened it discovered it was already starting to dry out round the crust area. Why is a loaf of bread, delivered in the morning, already be going stale by 3 o'clock that afternoon?

 

Holy crap! I have never heard of bread going bad that fast.

 

Not going bad, to be fair. Just a little stale.

 

So I've got some unclaimed money I'm trying to get back from the state. Except the state doesn't allow international access to its websites, which got me started on the whole saga of the keyboard being down for two days. My existing VPN doesn't do US addresses, so I hooked up a new free one, and now I've got three four separate browsers trying to get through to the website. One can't display the capcha, one won't load the page at all, one won't go to the next page I need, and....

BRB

 

Four browsers. Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, and whatever Microsoft's new one is, and not one of them can access the fucking page I need in all its glory. It's only a not-insignificant amount of money, more than I'm willing to throw my hands up at and walk away from. Won't bankrupt me any further, but I think I'm going to need to get on the horn to my dad and do things the hard way.

Sometimes the world feels really globalized and connected, and other times I think we were doing better with passenger pigeons.

It'll all end badly anyway.

 

Should be fine. We had...guinea fowl...

...wrong thread. Though if it is butternut squash, or sweetcorn soup - throw it away.

 

Ah, hate that. I left out a pot of spaghetti with meat over night. Suffice to say my sister wasn't happy,

 

So after my horrific break-up last year, I thought I would never want to be with anyone else, ever. Then last Thursday I hooked up with a guy, ended up spending 4 hours cuddling, then on Friday he came over for dinner, we watched a film, played video games, and spent the night together. And it's just hit me that within four days I have completely fallen for him. Like properly head-over-heels. Neither of us went into this expecting anything more than "casual", and he's in an open relationship with somebody who gives him financial stability but no emotional connection. He can't leave him due to the practical issues that would involve, so can't commit to anything more serious. So now I'm basically fucked, and wishing I had just stuck to my original plan of not even looking at anyone else.

 

being alone has worked for me so far.

 

It was working for me too til I met this guy. He made me feel things I didn't think I would feel again.

 

To be honest! From what I read the guy sounds like a loser.

 

...and if you have Alexa (Amazon Echo) or Siri, you don't even have to get up off the couch to set the timer.

Alexa can accept commands for multiple timers now. "Alexa, set a timer for 60 minutes for the soup." "Alexa, set a 45 minute timer for the laundry." "Alexa, set a two hour timer for the candle" so I don't burn the place down.

 

Why?
