  1. Yelling at clouds and get off my lawn, here... But I don't understand adults, especially married, using Snapchat.  

    Snapchat is a celebrity gossip/check out the latest Kardashian shit aggregator, so she's probably using it for that. Along with sending nudes to the guy she's fucking.

    Wife's car has had a problem with the ignition coils on and off.  I replaced the first few and had a buddy clear the code, but it has a warranty so we started taking it in because it kept happening.  Today it happened again, and the last time they said they'd need to replace the head gasket if it reoccured.  Okay, fine, it's under warranty.  Led to this:

    Wife:  Can you call and figure out what I need to do?
    Me:  Yes, I did, I can come get it from you and drop it off and it will be done. Because it has to be there by 3
    Wife:  I'll drop it off, I can get there by then
    Me:  Okay, but you can't be late, they will not be able to check it in after because the warranty system doesn't let them

    3:45call comes in
    Wife: I just got here and they won't take it
    Me:  Well yeah, it's 3:45, it had to be there by 3
    Wife: Yeah, but 3:45 isn't that much later
    Me:  silence because I am trying to know better...
    Wife:  What should I do, I have a 9AM meeting I have to be at tomorrow
    Me (Internal):  I don't know, fucking be there on time or you could have let me do it for you like I asked
    Me (External):  Leave it tonight and they can check it in tomorrow, Uber in to work
    Her: But I don't want to do that, it costs money.  I'll just drive the car anyway
    Me:  Seriously?  You think it's a good idea to drive a car that keeps putting itself into limp mode?  And shouldn't you have thought about that before being late?  I don't know what you need from me here
    Her: Tone...

    wtf kind of warranty doesn't work after 3 pm?

    what are you looking to do with it?  really might just be worth it to get a dedicated cycling computer

    holding my phone more securely than a shorts pocket and more conveniently accessed than an arm band (which my phone outgrew anyway).  i'm using the phone for podcasts.

    i'm just tooling around houston on paved hike/bike paths getting in some exercise.  i've got no jerseys though maybe that's the best way to go. 

  4. mattress warranty says it needs a protector or they won't honor the warranty (there's so many exceptions i doubt the thing is worth the paper its printed on, but might as well try).  the one i got from target was plasticky and went back.  the one i got from costco was heavy and hot.  guess i'll try the bamboo one from amazon.

    They’re engineered to contain a single blade failure. All bets are off past that.

    apparently not.  from the nbc philly link:

    National Transportation Safety Board chairman Robert Sumwalt and a team of investigators landed in Philadelphia Tuesday afternoon to inspect the aircraft. During a Tuesday night press conference, Sumwalt said a part of the plane's engine covering was found in Bernville, Pennsylvania, about 70 miles west of Philadelphia. He also said one of the engine's fan blades was separated and missing.

    grew tired quick of Arrow and The Flash.  I watched a couple of seasons of Gothem.  This has gotten good reviews.

    I like all the Marvel shows on Netflix sans The Fist.  

    I guess I should try this.  I watched the first two episodes when it came out and I was lost...

     

    this is fox, so, though it's marvel, it's fox's marvel (which is x-men), rather than disney's MCU. disney is buying fox but has said they're not going to start big changes to the x-men right out of the gate.
