Fail of Your Day

Yeah, no:

If there was ever a use for one of those usb condoms. That is that use.

#1386

Indeed. I always have one on me when I travel.

#1387

I too always carry a USB condom. Iā€™m going to need a USB-C condom though. Does anyone make one yet?

This is the one I have:

My bank (Schwab) really failed me today by not allowing me to get cashierā€™s checks on demand, which my new apartment landlord requested for the security deposit. Granted I also think itā€™s dumb that my new landlord requires a cashierā€™s check in the first place, but it should be an easy standard thing to get. I can easily get one from my other bank (CapitalOne) tomorrow, but I just feel bad for having to keep pushing back when I said Iā€™d get the checks in.

I tried making a whole chicken in a slow cooker crock pot using a recipe I found online. The spice mix turned out utterly foul (or should I sayā€¦ fowl?) after cooking. Something about the combination of spices had an unappetizing cloying stink after cooking. I hate to waste most of a chicken but its just inedible.

#1390

Used to work for Schwab. Even as a job hungry teenager I left when I saw the inside. I ran away. Granted that was about 12 or so years ago but stillā€¦

#1391

Can I ask for what the recipe was? Just so I can know to steer clear?

#1392

Kid is going to need to get his tonsils removedā€¦ the same weekend as Anime Bostonā€¦

Apparently we Minnesotans donā€™t learn from each otherā€™s mistakes.

#1395

Gross. Who would willingly drink that stuff?
Itā€™s meant for baking, not drinking.

#1396

All it is is cheap vodka that has had vanilla beans soaking in it for a long time, so its basically just drinking shitty vanilla vodka. You can make it yourself.

#1397

I used to put it in my Dr. Pepperā€¦

#1398

We pick people up drunk on mouthwash all the time. Liquor store closed or not enough money for ā€œrealā€ alcohol are the usual culprits :frowning:

This is the message I get when trying to repair a Mac boot drive on another Mac:

07%20PM
Screen Shot 2019-01-29 at 1.21.07 PM.png958Ɨ432 227 KB

If you reboot in recovery mode (cmd+r) you getā€¦ the same message.
Internet says try ā€œInternet Recoveryā€ (cmd+opt+r)ā€¦ same message.
Further reading suggests cmd+shift+opt+r so I try that andā€¦ USB media doesnā€™t show up in Disk Utility.

Data isnā€™t actually lost so not really a big deal, but fail nonetheless.

The moment when you got an awesome panel idea for pax east, only to realize that submissions are closed. Dang deadlines when I am dealing with other cons.

#1401

Forgot my Apple watch at home today. Have to keep taking my phone out of my pocket all the time.

Then my lightning-headhpone adapter broke. Gotta go to Apple store to get a new one later.

Coincidence???

#1402

The fix is in.

Fifteen characters of fix.

26 months old and my Xperia X Compact has just died for seemingly no reason.

I swear they do it on purpose once it passes the 2 year contract period.
