Your random annoyance of the day

[Star Ark]

The guitar tech at Billy Hydes can't install an input jack on my guitar correctly, I take it back to them, it crackles as the guy checking it moves the lead a little once it's plugged in and proceeds to tell me it the slight volume drop in pickup when he changes from bridge to neck that is what I should be worried about. I check the fender deville he has it plugged into which has the eq set heaps of bass rolled off highs (that's why it is louder with the neck pick up you dumbass), then another employee tells me its the battery, and another tells me I have a bad attitude and then the official guitar tech promises to take a look at it, tells me I have crackling pots and gives me back a guitar with tone and volume pots that are all wonky and don't screw on properly, and the input jack is now worse! It doesn't even work at home unless I use one of my two high end leads, (this fender deluxe leads grip the input jack really well so does another lead I spent about $70 dollars on) and I have to be pushing on leads to get full gain out of my Jackson Dinky.

Never going to Billy Hydes Blackburn again

haha, Yeah!

I feel your pain about the hot teacher! My nieces teacher is so fucking unbelievably gorgeous. I want to give her a hot beef injection so badly.

Went fishing in the local creek today. I totally got finned by a baby bluegill catfish. They say rubbing the wound on the belly of the fish helps with the pain. Whoever said that can get fucked.

And then finned 100 times.

Shen my wife's "aunt flo" comes to visit every month...

[Chryst Krispies]

I have to go to school tomorrow for like 20 mins to "check in." Classes start Tuesday.

Knock her up.

All my websites have been deleted by Bluehost. And there's nothing I can do about it.

[colonel kurtz]

Wow, so it seems. That really sucks. Any particular reason for that?

they didn't know why.
I don't think I've ever been so angry. This is worse than hitting yourself in the face with a hammer.

That depends on the person. When I was 25 kilos overweight, I lost the same amount of weight by walking for 1 hour (12 km, 7.5 miles) three times a week for 2 months, than by doing 4 times a week of HIIT (90-95 % of max HR with steadily increasing reps, starting from 3 reps and finishing at 15 reps) with a stationary bicycle for 4 months. And the walking was by far more comfortable (and safer for overweight persons).

Beginning of HIIT: 102,7 kg and 114,7 cm waist
At the end of 4 month HIIT: 96,2 kg and 107,5 cm waist
Result: 6,5 kg lost and 7,2 cm narrower waist in 4 months

Beginning of walking: 92,2 kg and 103,7 cm waist
At the end of 2 months walking: 86,1 kg and 95,4 cm waist
Result: 6,1 kg lost and 8,3 cm narrower waist in 2 months (and there was less fat available to burn, being 10 kg lighter)

"don't eat avocados more than once a week, they have too much fat"

Should say: "don't eat too many carbohydrates combined with fat, they are absorbed by your body as fat-for-a-rainy-day that does not burn away easily"

It's all a big conspiracy by the diabetes unions, drug manufacturers and the healthcare agencies. If people would eat correctly, grain farming would die out completely, and insulin would no longer be needed (a multi-million business would die -> healthcare agencies would lose a big source of income from "donations").

Got told by the girl I've adored for a while that she just wants to be friends... then smashed a weight into my wall

I <3 Carbohydrates...you should too.

Also I lol at "Conspiracy insulin theories"

In the bar yesterday, I had problems paying because I couldn't hear what the bartender was saying, and he got pretty angry at me. But he was speaking english and I kept hearing "15,50" as "15,15" and couldn't understand the problem with giving him 15€ and a 20 cent coin "PAY UP THE WHOLE AMOUNT!!"

Thankfully, that place had other bartenders who I could buy my drinks from for the rest of the evening.

HITT may be a different game when you're overweight, I dunno.

As far as the other stuff goes, I'm not saying you're wrong or right.. but I don't believe anything diet-related anymore with scientific articles backing it up. And the fact is, even if its true, it doesn't matter. That shit just overcomplicates it.

Separate being thin and being healthy, although being heavily overweight/obese is never healthy.
If you want to lose weight, eat less calories than you burn. You don't even NEED to do exercise, it can make you hungrier and you end up eating more than you burnt off.
Eating healthy is a whole new ballgame, but generally, stay with real food, no processed shit, eat about 40/40/20 protein/carbs/fat and make sure you get your vegies and that's 90% of it.

Avid.

[vespiz]

Flu, stomach flu last night (4-5h sleep max), stress at work and a gig tonight. Oh yeah.

[RemoWilliams]

My lack of control daily not stopping myself from coming to this board just to get waste time reading threads of people arguing about the most trivial and stupid things. I need more control!

[sopulurn]

why can't I have a PC that works and a Mac that works FASTER? Bouncing a couple of songs is taking forever

Christians, always the Christians.

My question: "Would you kill a newborn with an axe if you believed "God" asked it of you?"

Christians answer: "I hope that my faith would be strong enough to do what the Lord commands me to do."

My random annoyance happens everyday that I log in to the mac store to see if the new ATI card is available and it still always say "unavailable."
They've been teasing me with that for over a month.
To make matters worse last night the store was down since they were updating it. So naturally I thought it might finally be available. So when I check today I get excited to see the 5770 is now available within 24hours... cool.
I scroll down to the 5870...
Still unavailable

Some girl I was at a club with claimed I hit her.

Fucking bollocks, attention seeking cunt, I hate it when women who don't get their own way think they have license to make shit up.

And my hearing now sounds its on low pass filter at 2k, why did I even bother going out.

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Clients who can't be bothered in communicating with me, resulting in trouble dealing with the financial side of things, which might be trivial to them but is crucial for me to pay my rent. Several weeks is not an appropriate amount of time to answer an e-mail that's obviously quite important.

This is my thought everytime I go out, which isn't often lately. So much precious time is wasted by simply doing nothing at the same time as many other people, hence filling the streets with people doing nothing in times they should be resting or working on their dreams... oh right 90% of these shirt-wielding, gelled-hair, jewel earring loving douches don't have a dream other than waiting for the weekend to waste their time getting wasted and then curse the coming monday
