People who are ignorant on health matters, and share that ignorance with others. I'm in a support group for PCOS, which follows a specific diet plan. Somebody decided to throw out incorrect information, and add a snide remark. If you don't know what we should be avoiding, don't go around claiming things are compliant when they're not! And fuck off with your snide behaviour too. This is why I don't have many female friends. They can be so bitchy, judgemental and rude. I don't tend to find that issue with guys.
Trying to be creative, when my "too much gene" kicks in and ruins my work. Now I have a spoiled original, and no spare to make another.
It seems that none of my usual accounts know who I am anymore. PayPal claims CT's name isn't genuine!? Given that it has been before, how is it not now?! What the fuck has happened since my Dino-top died?! The digital world has gone mad. My password was also wrong, apparently. But that is my email address to log in. ETA: It knows my address and mobile number, but not my card, transaction history, or password. What universe did I move to without knowing about it? Where am I? Cos it looks a lot like Earth to me.
Apparently I also don't have an account with Tesco, as they never sent me an email when I asked to change my password. To say this has gone beyond an inconvenience is putting it mildly. I am that fucked off, I'm ready to throw this fire tablet onto the fire. Except I don't have a real one. I even asked the local pc repair shop if they might happen to have the battery I needed for the dino-top. You guessed it: no they don't. Looks like I'll have to try and reset my Amazon password to order one. What's the betting that won't work either? What really bothers me is how this has even happened. How can so many sites deny I have accounts with them, despite me using them multiple times?!
tbh you can get a serviceable laptop for less that £50 second hand, buying a new battery is probably a bad option anyway (also if its just the battery it ought to work while its plugged into the charger - if it doesn't that points to the PSU being fuqqed, in which case a new battery won't help)
If it was just about the laptop itself, I would. I have no attachment to the device. What I do have attachment to is all my photos, documents, and ability to access my accounts. None of those I have anywhere else but on that machine.
Even if the machine isn't working you should be able to buy an external hard drive and have a repair shop transfer your data to it. I had that happen a couple years ago and it worked fine, all backed up now.
Or even a couple of memory sticks - really you should have all your files backed up anyway because hard drives die - passwords wise if you still have the email account you can reset all your passwords without needing access to the laptop
Here's a hail-mary idea. If you can get it to a shop, they should be able to hook a 'substitute' battery or power unit to it, and power it up one last time, to get all the passwords from your browser, and files to a usb. I wish I had a transporter to come get it, but CT would run me over to get in it first, anyway!
Is it worth getting OneDrive or similar? My family have it so I have no idea how it works, but it does mean that your stuff isn't connected to a physical object that can get lost or broken. (And you can do your writing anywhere, on any device!) No help now, I realise, but for future reference.
That's what I use Google Drive for. It's in the Cloud, so I'm guessing OneDrive is the same thing? I use Google cause the collaborate in Docs is great.
Well, those pesky import tariffs are finally hitting the scotch market as new stock replaces old. Oban went from $61 to $79, and Lagavulin went from $72 to... wait for it... $93! Looks like I'm about to start charging $25 for a glass of scotch. Never mind my own drinking habits... my ire at the moment is solely as a purveyor.
From one type of technological woe to another. Now my living room lights have bust. If I receive a tent in the mail, I'm gonna just accept my fate.
