  • Due to unusually high tempetures I started having problems with the skin on my head. So, to avoid problems. I shaved it clean and it will remain that way until the skin in treated.

    I would bet that this isn’t the last time that you get unusually hot temperatures. Between this problem possibly returning and male pattern baldness, you’ll probably face another time when you’re cutting your hair short.

    That being said, adapt! Experiment with different facial hair styles, find a cool new hat (but be normal - don’t get something awful like a fedora) or sunglasses. Just because your hair has temporarily changed, it doesn’t mean that you’re a different person













  • When you connect a new device to a ‘smart’ tv, you must pay homage to the manufacturer with a ritualistic dance. Plugging and unplugging the device. Turning them on and off in the correct sequence like entering a konami code.

    Every time you want to switch devices, the tv must scan for them. And god forbid you lose power, or unplug something. You are granted the delight experience of doing it all over again.

    This drives me up the wall with my TV speaker - having to remember name of the settings that get reset for each power outage. If I was smart, I’d note the procedure down somewhere, but nah blob-no-thoughts

    I’d add any software that has switched to a subscription or SaaS model. Shit used to be super expensive in the past, but you could at least buy a software and keep it indefinitely for home use. It feels like everything is a subscription model. I have a family budgeting software that is no longer sold as a one-time purchase. I guess new users have to include the monthly cost of the budgeting software in their family now! Sure, the sub version has fancy ways to integrate your bank accounts, but doing it by hand every couple of weeks really makes you aware of what you are spending.

    I sound so old lmao
