You know what i hate?

[Going2fast]

So you fell down at Walmart cuz you didn't win the lottery?

[Going2fast]

What? Standalone antivirus software is still a thing? Haven't had that since windows XP. Microsoft defender works great.

Just had my anti virus disrupt the browser I use. Took a day to figure it out. Had to reset almost all passwords. I hate paying for that software annually.

I dispise how every friggin time i try and log into OPM ( for retired gov.workers ) that it is such a PITA not once has there been a time i could do it. I friggin hate the hassle of trying to get codes, new passwords, it is the worst worst. Can't get in and calling them forget it yes i need to change and not get so frustrated with gov. HELP sites i mean look how they handle anything. Nothing nothing is easy with dealing with them I give up for now.

And lawyers. I would have to deal with lawyers who want to make money on my suffering.

I hate that I did not check my lottery numbers before going shopping. Had I realized I missed 5 numbers off one of my tickets I would be at a local hospital under emergency care, after a super expensive ambulance ride, working on my claims of the destruction of my skeletal bones to put forth in my nugatory, slip-and-fall, tort of a lawsuit. The soles of my Dr. Martins do not work well with floor at Walmart. I'm not a jerk. I'm not hurt and have insurance if I needed to get help. Suing Walmart would mean I have to deal with Walmart on an other than shopping basis. Blech! Will I always be poor???
Yep. Nugatory is a word.

It is a sweet new crystal banger. Nothing terribly exciting. I would prefer not to take a picture of the crystal banger, what with it being a generic piece, and all. But I will for the Scarlet Brophet, if he wishes.
My rig is otherwise only slightly more complex than those bongs you kids use these days. About as exciting as the banger.
But when you put the two together, boy, the CB can swivel back-and-forth for some crazy animated dabbing. Freaks some people down to their chakras!

[Going2fast]

All good just wanted to see your sweet new rig.

[Gingerbeard]

I guess it didn't happen. I'm a liar. The box was open, so no brand. Only a $129.99 price tag on the foam packing. Impossible to google. The glass looked like that gin bottle that looks like it's melting. Smirnoff?
If you think $129 is a lot of money to spend on a banger, you do not know what bangers can cost.

[Going2fast]

Lol pics of said banger or it didn't happen.

You know your head-shop again has new owners when:

You ask to look at crystal bangers and she tries to sell you a meth pipe. A fucking meth pipe! Offering a weed smoker a meth pipe should get you a shotgun blast to the face. But weed smokers aren't typically shotgun-to-the-face people. Were I a meth user, I absolutely would have, had she offered me a crystal banger.
-------------------"-------------------"------------------"--------------------- boxed $129.99 banger with carb cap!!!
The only English spoken by the head-shop lady or mysterious male voice in the distance, was(were?) prices and totals. Couldn't get her to say spit about the nice weather. Of course, she might just be a bitch.
The price for a regular banger goes up $5.00.
The $3.99 glass jar totals out at $5.28. My bad on that one. I didn't realize the mistake until I was half way home. But it is a nifty little jar. It will be niftier if I can get the brand off the lid.
I now consider them incompetent and dishonest and off limits.

Edit: I figured out why she offered me a meth pipe. She heart me use the word 'crystal'. Still...

Did this come out of Larry's Lattes on Curb Your Enthusiasm? Ckbrew I like the double walled tall glasses for cold drinks but they never last.

[Franklin]

golfnrl definitely try it out. Not something I would ever buy for myself, not even now, but I like it. Ckbrew I find it better than old tech because you don't have a lid to get in your way, it cools to the right temperature (I find the double walls stay too hot) and you can smell and see the beverage. Again, I'm fairly anti tech so I'm saying all this with some chagrin and would not have bought for myself but it's a rad gift

[Ckbrew]

I have the old tech from last year. A double wall stainless vacuum insulated container. It keeps coffee hot and more importantly, beer cold. No power required. Low tech rules.

Franklin I received an Ember from a good friend for Christmas. So you're telling me I should use the thing?
