stupid first world problems you're dealing with

my internet's going to shit and I can't figure out why. it's gotten progressively worse over the last 5 months or so. tried 3 different routers, wired vs wireless, isolating devices, etc. can't figure out the root cause. SNR and attenuation readings seem ok. I think maybe it's the wiring in the house, we do have dodgy electrical/phone wiring.

worse in what way?

 

i also nearly went mad with internet troubles a while ago (dns wouldn't work properly and sites often failed to open) and even changed isp only to realize that my torrent settings were stupid (too many allowed connections, when i thought only bandwidth matters which was limited) and clogged the internets.

nah, nothing like DNS/routing trouble, just signal trouble I think. and across a number of devices, wired and wireless. total speeds have gotten worse and worse, it got so bad the other day that I couldn't download an album off the Ninjatune site cos it kept crawling and eventually aborted.

what's the point of the new lana del ray/eli roth "short film" leak? is it something to do with bill cosby, or is it just eli trying to be "fucking crazy" as usual?

i had 3 engineers out, attenuation, changed router to a new one, that got swapped out again for another.. massive head scratching - was getting 25Mb/s on a 150Mb/s line..

 

turned out the cat had chewed through one of the cables which was causing interference & not one of us had noticed

The cheap flavoured coffee I bought makes me sweat profusely and feel like I'm on really sketchy drugs.

 

And that's after only one cup.

 

probably some weird preservative or flavouring/colouring/bulking agent that you're having a reaction to. I'd ditch it.

I can't grow a beard. 21yo next year; my life is ruined.

 

Same here. I try every year to grow a little beard+moustache during Movember and it always turns pretty ridiculous.

We should open a Movember Fail Thread by the end of the month !

My girlfriend is having the same reaction, but she really likes it... aside from the sweatiness part. It is sort of fun. 7-11 coffee has the same effect.

I refer to that product as the "sick maker". Does smell amazing though, but not really worth it.

Unwittingly put on a t-shirt that happened to have a spider's egg sack hidden in it and ended up festooned with loads of little spider dudes crawling all over me. Put the t-shirt in a safe place for the rest to hatch and do their thing in peace before I try to wear it again

I have friends who would probably jump off a cliff rather than have that happen to them.

I thought that's why people drink coffee.
