The coffee I've made for the last week has been tasting weird and metallic, and I can't figure out what part of the procedure is ruining it and it's driving me fucking CRAZY

My coffee has been tasting like shit for about a month now. Apparently I need to "de-scale" it, basically give it a deep cleaning by running water and vinegar through it. 

 I've started using a french press, it's easier and hotter, oddly. Who would have thought that older technology had anything to offer. Well also if you saw my coffee maker you'd probably agree with my decision purely on sanitary grounds, hahah, wots all this about vinegar and water !!

you can grab this stuff called dezcal off amazon. you run it through the coffee maker and it cleans it out.

out of bread & other breakfast stuff. lying in bed, hunger growing. Disliking the idea of getting up & heading to the grocery store

Took the car through the car wash today - less than an hour later, bird shit on the car.

had to go into an O2 store to remove parental controls on my bloody mobile data, must have looked like such a pervert

I mean I am one but that's not the point

lol my area got named in a call-out by ISIS for terror attacks. I don't know if I should tell them this but there's nothing of great national value here.

lol, this happened to my wife last week. I guess birds prefer bombing clean surfaces.

I'm taking the bus home from work and this fucking sucks! So far it has taken me twice as long to get halfway home as it usually would if I was on my bike

So I've been trying to make ginger root beer, but it seems you have to watch over it real closely as there's a lot of gas accumulating in a just a couple hours. After I came back from a long day of work, the bottle I prepared basically blew the fuck up when I began to slowly open the cap.

Is there a way, for people that have stuff to do during the day, to prevent that kind of stuff from happening ? Like piercing a tiny hole in the cap so some gas can leave the bottle in between openings during fermentation so it doesn't blow up in my face again ?

Surely there's some sensei here who knows ancient ninja techniques for making this delicious beverage...

I'm pumping gas and it's going really really slow.

lol

also lol @ usagi. just email them and tell them you're a muselman facist sympathizer and they'll spare you imo

I have really bad gearlust all of a sudden and I'm thinking about getting one of the volcas (sample or FM) to try to soothe it. That seems stupid enough but I'm also watching all these YouTube videos on the sample and it just seems really tedious and annoying to work with. I've probably already wasted 2 hours today watching stupid videos. I still think it's adorable and it seems like it could still be a good time with a MIDI controller. 

fucking cat pissed on the fucking bed. Gonna skin that little cunt.

not cool. my family cat has been pissing in the house, my mom has had it with him...

Realised the window had blown open near her litter tray (it's a skylight window set into slanted roof and goes down to floor level) so there was whooping wind and hissing traffic noise right next to it.

I guess she was scared and needed a piss and went to her safe place, her and her sister both used to piss on the bed when kittens.

Hopefully that was a one-off.

one of my previous furbabbies (not Thor) pooped on my bed once. that was fun.

yeah she did  that once when she had diarrhoea :I

a dog would never do that ;)

it might puke on your bed, lick most of it up, so you dont clock the ming for a few mins until you're nice & comfortable....

Lost my cell phone at a festival I was playing at.  Now I'm without a portable music listening system.  

I guess I could just walk around everywhere holding my Macbook. 

My internet is down and it goes out once every month or sometimes more and it's annoying

My shower broke so I take baths now instead until it's fixed and baths are nice but showers are quicker. Also I'm so sure my neighbours can hear me blowing bubbles in the water, it's making me self-conscious.

CenturyLink's customer service is the absolute fucking worst, the incompetence is ridiculous! I have to get this rant off my chest   

I was trying to switch my billing over to the pricing promised in the new CenturyLink/DirectTV bundle I signed up for through AT&T that's partnered with CenturyLink that's a much better deal then I was paying as an already existing CenturyLink customer. I attempted to make the switch myself, twice...

The first time I called I got a hispanic guy that I swear barely spoke English, he transferred me to DirectTV which has no control over the CenturyLink billing. The Second time I got a really bitchy lady who proceeded to tell me that, that promotion must not exist (it does) and they they aren't partnered with AT&T (they are) because they are a competitor (no they aren't)... "Excuse me, but YES you ARE partnered with them and have been for at LEAST a few years now, and NO they are NOT a competitor with your company." I had her grab me a supervisor, who then told me that in order to get new billing there'd be a $200 cancellation fee... No there isn't, because I'm not on a contract and never have been, also I'm not cancelling anything I'm switching to a bundle...This went a little further and I should have gotten the guy's name because he was an absolute dick on the phone. I ended up hanging up on him.

My wife and I then had to go down to the AT&T store and have the representative who signed us up call CenturyLink herself and I had to verify info when needed. That call took her almost 45 minutes! I assume the duration where she was in the back off the sales floor she was having to shuffle through people and argue herself... Finally managed to get switched over and billed correctly, but HOLY FUCK was that a hassle.

The AT&T people were really great with their service and truly helpful, CenturyLink however can go to hell.

 

The girls at work freaked out over a tiny god damn spider. They requested I kill it, so I reluctantly agreed...using my finger.

I still feel guilty about it, because it was obviously harmless and its base body was pinhead-sized. I just don't understand how women seem to be such natural arachnophobes.

Men too. I worked (demolition) with a dude that screamed like a babby girl when he ran across any decent sized spiders. Needless to say he hated his job. I usually set em free or put a nail on their back to tire them out.
