The GPS drift between my devices makes it so I have to update my household pretty often despite the fact that I use these streaming services (netflix and disney) almost exclusively in my own home.

This process is already incredibly annoying and finicky and a hassle to do, but now it seems I’ve jumped through the hoops to watch the media I’ve paid to stream too many times, so I simply can’t watch Disney+ on this TV today.

Also, this happened after I moved the tv two rooms down the hall. So apparently I am not only limited to using the service I pay for in my own home, but I am only allowed to stream from one specific room, quite literally like we’re back in the days of cable boxes.

Edit: I do not know how the little person inside the TV knows where the TV is okay!?

I assumed GPS was involved because why else would it get confused one floor up from exactly where my Apple TV is currently working just fine? Apparently this is incorrect. I still don’t get how this could physically happen if it only goes by WiFi and GPS isn’t involved at all whatsoever in the process of the internet knowing where I am since all devices are connected to the only WiFi connection option that exists in my house.

Solved: Went to the Disney+ chat and they said my apple and non Apple devices were receiving different IP addresses so they “overrode it”.

My parents are in their 70s. I try to be a good son and see them once a week or at least every other week. Normally it involves my mother inviting my family over for lunch on Sunday. This week, I invited them to my house for lunch and I got a “No, we’ll pass.”

Not “Sorry, we already made plans.” Or “We’re a little under the weather.” Just “Nah.”

Only the Wild Herd was $5. Edit:The blue moon was $8.99. Not sure about the bud light.

What should I do with this definition 😭😭

I was informed I needed to schedule a doctor's appointment to get my medication refilled, so last week I scheduled the appointment for the next Friday. Friday comes, and after I'm checked in and sitting in the waiting room, about 15 minutes later the receptionist comes up to me and says they are running behind, and she asks me if I want to reschedule for next week. Like, what? I could understand if this was a walk-in appointment, but it wasn't. The worst part is this same thing happened last year. I was in the actual examination room, and the doctor's scribe came in (after waiting in the examination room for an hour!), informed me the doctor was very behind, and asked if I wanted to reschedule for another day.

Firestone Auto Repair - for reference. We have to carry the car back on Monday for them to “look” at it. And yes, my daughter needs to clean her car…

My wife says "It's hip to be square."

Movers accidentally hit the sprinkler on the floor below me. Flooded the lower levels and the newly repaired elevator.

I'm in a homeless shelter that serves us 3 meals a day + snacks.

Well it's dinner right now, and I notice a sign by the food serving window that says "main course has bones. Eat with caution."

Meanwhile multiple people waltzed past the sign without noticing it, because they never put signs there, and nobody made sure to mention to each client the bones thing.

Dinner was egg rolls, a fortune cookie, and rice.

Guess what the bones are in?

THE FUCKING RICE!

It's brown rice with chicken and vegetables.

Who the ever loving fuck thought this was a good idea?!

My order total was $15.28. I handed her $21 and she handed me the $1 back and said “It’s $15.28”. I said “I know, I want $5 back instead of singles.”

She stared at me for a while then stared at the cash register and said “I can’t do that”

I said “just type in that I gave you $21 instead of $20”

She pressed some buttons and stared at the register again then said “I don’t know what you want me to do, my machine doesn’t do that.”

I gave up and took my $1 back. She, now clearly annoyed with me, put $20 into her system and gave me back $4.72 in change.

I ordered a latte and asked for skim milk. I saw she added a dollar for alternative milk. I clarified that i ordered skim milk. She said that is an alternative milk. I looked confused and she rolled her eyes and took the surcharge off but said that’s standard everywhere.

Now I order a lot of lattes from a lot of places and have never been charged extra for skim milk. It’s crazy to call that alternative milk and charge extra right?
