I didn't request that pink monstrosity, I requested a way to make Dwarf Fortress look half-sensible on YouTube. That was I guess it?

I'm reduced to pointing at the menu and saying "the one with words I can't pronounce"
It's apparently German for "give be a beer the same color as my table"

Spend some of the remaining dollars on a new keyboard perhaps?

Current status title reminds me of this:
"That's all just well enough, because in reality there is only room enough in this world for one Mojo Jojo. One shall be the number of Mojo Jojos in the world, and the number of Mojo Jojos in the world shall be one. Two Mojo Jojos is too many, and three is right out. So the only Mojo Jojo there is room for in the world shall be me."

Status The following steps describe how to type a randomly generated password into an input box on a Samsung SmartTV.
- Anticipate the agony of trying to use the remote to type this password
- Grab a USB keyboard and plug it into the TV
- Pick your language and layout from a very limited options menu that pops up when the keyboard is plugged in.
- Start typing the password.
- Notice that nothing appears on the screen.
- Try various methods of keyboard input
- Repeat 6-8 until no remaining methods or no hope, whichever comes first
- Give up unplug the keyboard
- Start typing the password using the remote. Wait to make sure keypress is actually accepted before continuing on to the next character or cursor movement because sometimes the TV doesn't accept input from the remote.
- Try to shortcut using the number pad on the remote, and then get frustrated when that doesn't work.
- Repeat steps 9-10 until you finally manage to get the password right.
- Start using the app until done or TV crashes, whichever comes first.
Optional Step:
13. Smash TV with your keyboard.Is it actually possible to use a USB keyboard with a Samsung TV?

Wtf happened to jewel!?

It's apparently German for "give be a beer the same color as my table"
Maybe it is German for, "Give me something to help drink away the pain that goddamn rodent has caused me, if only for a few hours"?

Ohm jewel is a pet. I thought you were referring to jewel the band and I was going to get irrationally drunk upset.
Sorry for your loss

I was going to get irrationally drunk

STATUS: My husband's car's brakes died. Fucking hell.
Status I am not getting a cut of Yami's husband's life insurance policy in exchange for an alibi but I can confirm, yes, indeed, Yami's husband's brake died of their own accord while she was in a public place with many people.

When I was shopping for phones a while back I was "enlightened" by how Samsung decided to handle people who wanted to flash custom bootloaders to their phones.
Sane Response: Void the warranty for the device.
Less Palatable Response: Cryptographically protect the bootloader so the phone doesn't boot if you modify it. Allow your users to reflash the original bootloader to get the phone working again.
Samsung Response: Permanently brick the device.
-
Samsung Response: Permanently brick the device.
that's their response for buying the device and then having the gall, the unmitigated gall to contact customer support for any reason what soever.
oh, and bricking your phone, intentionally or otherwise voids your warranty, or didn't you actually read that Giant ass EULA they pack the phone with?
but that's okay, Apple has the same clause in their EULA.

Gives you a real appreciation of how much goddamned work the power brakes are doing to stop even a tiny car.
For me it was when someone pointed out how important getting your brakes serviced are when you do any mountain driving. Because all the energy it took to get your car up that mountain? Your brakes are going to have to absorb THE SAME AMOUNT COMING BACK DOWN.
Fuuuuuuu

According to @Rhywden, it is a negligible amount. No worries.

Well, there's lots of rolling losses while you're going up too, etc. But yes, you want your brakes to work very well in mountains. Coming up to a sharp bend is not the best time to lose the ability to slow right down…

really? you don't have dark beers in the states?
-
Most beer commercials I see on TV are somewhere between "urine sample" and "slightly discolored urine sample".
-
you don't have dark beers in the states?
They do. Mostly from craft brewers, but they most definitely do.

Status: The stupid gits at Microsoft were a bit surprised of the number of people trying to get the free Display Dock for the Lumia 950 XL. Or that's what I interpreted the sales guy's statement as when I called them because their instructions on how to redeem my code didn't work.
I really hope they don't try *) to weasel out, pointing towards their statement of "offer is valid as long as the inventory lasts".
Because that won't fly at all here in Germany. The earliest date by which one could have redeemed such a code in Germany was yesterday. And, due to several attempts at weaseling out from other vendors, the courts have set some very strict rules as to how you have to communicate a "very limited supply".
In short, you have to provide very prominent information that you a) have a very limited supply and b) that you expect it to be gone very fast.
Contrast that with how MS went about it:
- They're still advertising this deal.
- They set a time limit to redeem the code for the 29th of February next year
Oh, well, let's see.
*) "try" because any lawyer worth his salt will slap them around with a big fish. Plus, the ministry dealing with such cases also doesn't quite like that

Status: getting ads from the Mexican government telling me to avoid getting pregnant before finishing school.
Thanks I guess? Might want to refine your targeting a bit.
-
I'm being facetious. There's NO WAY I got as shitfaced as I did last night on American big-brand domestics.
We have more variety than anywhere else in the world thanks to the craft beer scene, especially now that the twats have figured out there's more to beer than "HOPPY AS FUCK IPA!!!!" and started to produce things that area actually good in larger volume.
Only old men, the poor, and hipsters drink traditional American pisswater.

TL;DR: I think trans people are fine, a few others agree, and a bunch of people think they're mentally ill and need psychological therapy despite numerous scientific studies suggesting that such attempts cause significant trauma and have no benefit. It's kind of like an argument with die-hard anti-vaxxers.

Salt water or fresh water fish?

Well, as someone on an internet forum who you don't know I'd like to say that I missed you at least...yeah, that probably isn't worth a lot but welcome back

I remember you... mostly because IIRC you are/were a graduate with a certain 3 letter company that the company I work for has the pleasure of using.

STATUS:
WHY THE FUCK DOES IT TAKE 2+ HOURS TO INSTALL A VISUAL STUDIO SP1 UPDATE!?
Seriously, what in hell are they doing? How hard is it to unpack a bunch of files over the old files?
Microsoft is trying, but sometimes they feel just like Oracle with some lipstick on.
Oh and of course, time for a restart. FUCK!
