I've recently started working on an EU passport, but it will likely take 18 months, so I'm stuck here for now.

I’ve attended premieres in the past but I missed the one premiere of a show I actually like. I know I should feel grateful in life for what I already have and have experienced, but it felt like it was “destiny” for me to be at that premiere and would’ve been a full-circle life changing moment. That show is the reason I am the way I am today and I totally had the means to go, I just had to ask. The show is now ending and I’ll never get the chance again to talk to that specific cast in such an exclusive setting. I can still enjoy the show, but the chance for that night is gone, and it would’ve been so easy to attend too.

I was on track to getting a $200 Delta flight credit through the Gold Skymiles card. To get the credit you have to spend $10,000 in a calendar year on your Skymiles card. I was $300 away, but I'm flying to Mexico next weekend and decided to upgrade my card bc it's my last flight of this year and wanted to get the extra points for this trip...obviously the upgrade is still worth it but damn.....I wonder if I can ask Amex about this or not. Kind of lame that they don't have this benefit for the next card tier anyways 😭

I don't have fiber and best I can get is 5G home internet.

I have a pc but I’m switching to AMD and my Ryzen 9 9900X has arrived but not my new motherboard so I’m stuck using my 14700k for like another week

Thanks Steve.

It was a sale item and the last one in my size. (I checked their online store.)

Holy shit. The first two cold calls came literally 5 minutes after my bank ran my credit -- while I was still on the phone with them.

I just wish the credit bureaus were a little more unscrupulous -- don't they realize how much money they'd make if they accepted bribes for them not to sell someone's personal data? I'd gladly give them triple whatever they're making off me right now.

I've never felt more like the hot girl joining a dating site (minus the unsolicited dick pics I assume).

UPDATES:

I’m a geo-bachelor for work and my company has housing. TV service is satellite (dish) and out of 12 channels only 6 actually work. 4 are froze on the same picture and 2 are the “dish screen saver”.

Anyway, the actual picture will not fit on the TV. I’ve gone through all of the adjustments for the aspect and no matter what setting, it cuts off the sides of the picture. As an example, I’m watching the World Series and the sides are cut off so I can only see the Dodgers score on the left side of the score box.

The satellite control box is not accessible, and I really needed to vent about this.

Edit: spelling

Three weeks seems like enough time to look for another one, but for a week during a holiday, it's really not.

I want to keep the adaptive setting as I like that it cuts out if I need to speak to someone out and about, but I have to go into settings and turn it off if I want to sing along with the sound cutting when I start going for it. It’s a tough life.

I love Halloween. I managed to get to visit Halloween Horror Nights this year, watched Thriller on YouTube a few times and plan on watching the movie “late night with the devil” soon.

Outside of that, I can’t focus. The real world consequences of what can go wrong has got me anxious. Haven’t even bought any candy yet for “Trunk or treat” in my neighborhood

6k on a 3 piece sectional with custom fabric and pillows. Shouldn't there be a 3D image generator to show you, at the very least, a conceptualization of the completed product? Have to wait 2 months for this stuff to be made to see if we got the arm placement correct or if my spatial ineptitude got everything backwards. A little visual would be nice.

Coming home from washing my truck and the street in front of my house is being repaved.

Normally it would take about a week to eat a whole bag of roasted/salted pistachios in the shells.

But without the added burden of shelling, now I'm now dealing with a serious snack nut shortage.

At this point I am going through nuts at roughly 500% the burn rate.

Context: Follow-up from this comment

Extra Context: The item was a bikini bottoms. There were 8 items in my order, including the top, but for some reason, the store decided the bottoms separately and in the stupidest way possible.

Way More Context Than Anyone Wants: The other 7 items were shipped in a soft mailer that did fit in my mailbox.
