Yes.

Is that why the call it "Californication"? Because you all need a vacation from the illegality hanging over your heads in California?

@Boner Why would putting German Potato Salad on her sons be of any help?
-
@da-Doctah If they eat enough of it, they won't fit behind the tapestries or down the tunnels.

Vesey.
One of the kids' name is Vesey.
I'm sure that's a non-ridiculous name is some parts of the world.

@da-Doctah Why wouldn't it help?

My gaming queue is now so long that I've just bought God of War III for the PS4 while I still have the boxed version for the PS3 sitting unopened since I bought it years ago.

Unless you try to OCR it - then it's worse. (Speaking for myself...)

I dunno, my OCR is fairly accurate, but I only have one engine method and certain statistical analysis methods can prove more precise than me.

I've never got this mindset. If I'm not going to play a game now I don't buy it. It'll probably be in a sale in a few months anyway.
The only exception is Humble bundles which I've bought for one or two games I did play immediately, and I might install the others at some point to see if they're any good

When I push the 3 button on a microwave (the kind that has buttons), it should either put 3 seconds on the timer and wait for me pushing more buttons, or put 3 minutes on the timer and start cooking immediately. I can handle either of those happening.
What I can not handle is when it does absolutely nothing because I should push the Time button first.
: Hi, I'd like a number 3 please.

Ring bell for service
: Well yes, I can read the sign, but you're looking right at me.

@anotherusername Why not use a microwave with a dial knob thing?
-
@aliceif most probably because I went somewhere and they had the kind with buttons. The one I have at home has buttons, but it allows you to enter the cooking duration without pressing any other buttons to tell it that the number buttons I'm about to press are how long it's supposed to cook this thing, not nuclear launch codes or the pain I am currently experiencing on a scale of 0 to 9.
The dial knob things do work, but they're not my first preference; they are annoyingly imprecise.

they're somewhat popular in restaurants that just need a cheap microwave.

@Tsaukpaetra Hmm...ok, so maybe I have seen one but I just didn't notice because I didn't use it.
-
@aliceif said in The Official First World Problems Thread™:
@anotherusername Why not use a microwave with a dial knob thing?
I have both. And setting the clock on it is just brain-dead:
- Click 'Clock' button
- clock resets to 12:00
- rotate dial to new time.
So if I just want to adjust the clock 5 minutes (either forward or back), I have to start from noon. Fuckers. And I hate DST.
-
@dcon where do you live that the clocks need adjusted 5 minutes on DST beginning/end? Here, it's always 1 hour.
-
@anotherusername conflating two things. DST is one source of time adjustment, clock drift is another.

The way he worded his post made it sound like DST was the source of the time adjustment, and I found it amusing.

We should IoT his microwave, that way it can GeoIP locate his timezone and set the time automagically!

Good call. Babies chew on key fobs.... etc..
That's why you keep them inside a Faraday cage.
The babies. Not the key fobs. Obviously.
Bonus points if you knew that wouldn't actually work.
You'd need to keep the baby inside the cage, and the key fob outside it.
No, I didn't get that backward. The baby can't chew on the key fob anymore. Problem solved.

hmm..... well the signal originating from inside the faraday cage.....that's going to depend heavily on how good a faraday cage you have. if you have a reasonably effective faraday cage the keyfob's not going to be able to get a peep out of it, and if the baby's in the cage and the cage is sufficiently robust.... same effect. except now the keyfob works, and you have a nice officer from Child Services talking to you about exactly what the bleep you were doing with that baby.

You can't, but any of the internet hackers can easily start it up for you so long as you happen to close the door behind yourself while dying.

@Karla said in The Official First World Problems Thread™:
FWP: I can't find left-handed toddler scissors (the ones with all plastic). We are pretty sure my daughter is left-handed at this point.
I'm left-handed and cannot cut with my left hand...which I now think because I learned to use scissors before I was ever exposed to left handed scissors.
I am triggered by our right-centric society.
I am right-handed, but I hold scissors in my left hand. For some reason, all through my childhood, the lefty scissors never bothered me like they bothered all the other right-handed kids. Although I could use the "regular" scissors acceptably well too (but the demand for those usually outstripped the supply, so I often ended up with a lefty pair; for some reason, the ratio of lefty scissors to righty scissors always seemed to be much higher than the ratio of lefty kids to righty kids). I was scissor-hand agnostic. I was well into adulthood when I realized that the reason the lefty scissors never bothered me was because, unlike all the other right-handed kids, I was holding them in my left hand...
Really, which way the blades were pinned together (as in, what makes lefty and righty scissors different) just doesn't bother me a whole lot. What really drives me crazy is the righty scissors with ergonomically shaped handles, that literally only fit in your right hand, and gouge into your hand painfully if you try to hold them with your left. The handles should be fucking symmetrical for fuck's sake.

Baseball...though since I play so in-frequently, I have to ask someone which way a lefty bats because I am better lefty but righty doesn't feel wrong.
If you have to ask someone, you can just switch hit. Bat lefty against right-handed pitchers and vice versa.
Ahhh, like how I play judo might try it next time. I can't remember ever batting against a lefty though.
One time...they had me pitch (it was softball technically), good thing we didn't count balls (that's what she said).

It was a good price at the time and I think I had some vouchers or something. The main issue is that it isn't child-friendly, so I have almost no opportunity to play it :(
-
@anotherusername That's pretty funny.
If I were skilled enough with enough time practice...that would be me.
