(Not sure if this is my wife's problem or mine...)
In my secondhand experience if you are not sure then it is your problem, and if you are sure then it is your problem.

And DOTA2, surprisingly.

Not for over three months now. I do spectate my friends a lot, though.

Hey, I resemble those remarks!! Unfortunately, there's no longer anyone else around to help with the cleaning, either (not that I ever got much help — "You made the mess; you clean it.").
That's not cool. The general rule around here is "if you didn't cook, you clean." Or it would be if there weren't the need to watch the little kids. Sometimes the kids want the parent who's supposed to clean, and it's saner to give in than to follow the rule.

FWP: I get a free upgrade of my broadband from 60Mb to 100Mb, but unlike the free upgrade from 30Mb to 60Mb, I have to request it.

in that case...

It's good cholesterol, but it spreads like bad cholesterol.

I wanted to learn how to use GIMP's layer masks more effectively, so I threw a web search for "gimp mask".
I don't know what I expected.

gimp mask
The google results are ok but GIS ...

Dude, how about spoiler tags next time. I didn't need to see that first thing in the morning. Or, really, any other time.

I ordered my son a StarCraft hoodie yesterday (oh brother: the camel-casing is in the dictionary) and got a sale notification from the company letting me know that Winter Veil starts in WoW today and so they're offering a discount on WoW merch. :eyeroll:

Especially since one of those is borderline NSFW.

That was what I had in mind. I don't care about seeing links to software tutorials. (Although @blakeyrat might disagree, given the software.)

My first world problem: My watch battery died and it's some odd one I couldn't find locally and had to order online. The clock on my motorcycle is wrong because I haven't figured out how to adjust it from Daylight Savings Time, and the clock in my truck is wrong because the batteries died and I haven't figured out how to reset it yet. I literally have no idea what time it is on my drive to work!

You're doing it wrong. You should exclusively use your smartphone to check the time.

This is very difficult to do on a motorcycle while wearing winter gear. And I generally refuse to touch my phone while driving anything as a safety precaution.

No need to convince me. I was just channeling blakey: http://what.thedailywtf.com/t/sonys-e-ink-smartwatch/5163/9

Get a handlebar mount! Also, you'll probably need to set it so the screen never goes blank, so you don't have to try to touch it while driving. Then you'll probably need to add a USB charger to your bike somewhere.

One of our clients just sent me a "screenshot" that's a cell phone camera picture. He's in another country--I guess his local keyboard layout doesn't have a PrintScreen button.
Also, the dialog I was interested in is partially covered up by another window--specifically, the error message I needed to see. Y'all could probably have predicted that.
-

This part is actually done, my bike is a dirt bike I've configured as a so-called "adventure" bike. Last summer I rode it all the way to the Rocky Mountains for a camping trip, so having a cell phone charger was a necessity.
As for the handlebar mounts, they're expensive, like $50, and my phone is old so I'd have to get a "universal" one that probably sucks equally for all models.

That's loser talk! Just get a slab of plastic or wood and duct-tape it in place! While you're at it, you can build a sort of pocket for the phone, or use Velcro or something.

Then it's not a FWP, go back to your slum and come back when you can afford a new iPhone 6+, a Ducatti and the appropriate mount.

FWP
?
a new iPhone 6+
I'd rather die than own anything which starts with a lowercase i.
a Ducatti
Dirt bikes are the only category of motorcycle I enjoy, and coincidentally the only ones that aren't painful to ride (well, except for crashing in the woods) due to a lower back injury.

My package shipped via Amazon Prime is going to take longer than two days, and I will likely call them out on it so I get some free Amazon Prime extension.

They'll probably just give you that digital product credit that you get for requesting the slower shipping method these days.

When did this start? I only paid for my initial Amazon Prime membership and have been on the "complain to get 3 free months" for about the last year and a half. Cheeky bastards, they are ruining my plans.

About 2 months ago they started an offer where you could choose the No-Rush shipping method on Prime eligible items. In exchange, you get $1 credit for digital items:
I wouldn't be surprised if they have started giving you those credits when they don't meet the two day shipping goal.

I think there's a joke about giving the D to other countries here, but I'm not quite figuring it out.

Negative. Apparently FedEx and UPS are screwing the pooch this holiday season because I have now racked up another 6 months worth of Amazon Prime.

Nice. I've got two shipments that are supposed to arrive tomorrow. Fingers crossed that they're late. ;)

Ordered my mahjong set on the 16th. Still says it is due on the 22nd. Still says Not Yet Shipped.
Has it shipped yet?
Edit: Since you've now deleted your post, I'm guessing "yes".
