First World Problems

[N55]

I was driving my Gallardo tonight and, since I sit closer to the ground than other normal cars, I get completely blinded by their head lights. #whydonteveryonedrivegallardos

[NEFARIOUS]

I am getting ready to move and borrowed my friend's Tundra, and since I sit higher above the ground than other normal cars, I almost ran over a Gallardo, apparently the dude was blinded or something (kidding)... #BecauseImLuckyToEvenBeAbleToMakeAn8YearOldE90sPay mentsLetAloneALamboLOL

Can't afford an Aventador so I got a Gallardo is more like it.

[MrPrena]

I want an V10 Formula 1 ferrari , but I need a private paved street to drive it.
So, I looking at a Ferrari FXX, but I am not on that wait list.
FXX being on a wait list, I wanted to get a Lamborghini Aventador, but I am scared of bulls.
Since, I do not like to logo of Lamborghini, I decide to look at the Porsche GT3 991, but I cannot put my in-laws back of the seat comfortably.
So, I decide to get an M5, but I don't like the turbo cars.
After careful thinking, I wanted to get E63amg, but I would rather have that money on investment than buying one.
So, I might end up with 1990 Honda Accord....

I feel your pain Prena. I have a similar issue. It's a toss up between the Pagani Huayra or the new Kia Optima. While the Pagani is considered a "Super Car" The Kia is equipped with (BLIS) Blind spot information system. I have to make a decision before the holiday weekend.

Valid thinking... and the Pagani does not get the 10 yr warranty.

Some critter has apparently been gnawing on the signal wire right where it comes into my basement from the outside, thus tripping the fuse inside the furnace. All fixed now. No more schweaty balls.

I took one day off and came back to 287 emails. Ctrl+A+delete is tempting right now.

Had a boss like that once. Always had 10k+ unread emails in his Inbox. At staff meetings his phone would ding with a new email every 10 seconds or so.

I had to go offsite this AM and as soon as I walk in the door someone asks if I got the email about blah blah blah.....get back to my office and there were over 1200 emails in my box by 10:30 AM (cleared it out when we left at 8:30). It actually has slowed down, there are only 47 since 12:15 EST, but guess what, it's lunch time....

Oh I take that back now there are 68 since the above, it's nonsensical, isn't it? Then you have the IM's popping up despite my having set it to lunch. When my wife was delivering our baby I even got called on my cell, really really sorry to bother you, but.....

First world.....

I get surprisingly few emails. I have my official university account, and since that is subject to FOIA requests, I keep it strictly business. I have my primary personal account which I do not give out to many people or businesses, so that stays fairly clear of spam. Then I have my old Hotmail account which I give out to businesses if I think I might need to communicate with them in the future. Then I have my dont-spam.me account, which I use for anyone I think might be just wanting to spam me. I rarely check that and usually instantly delete whatever I find in the inbox when I do check it.

I learned long ago to avoid signing up for newsletters or listservs as I hardly ever read what comes in from them and the stuff just clutters up my inbox. Easier to deal with the wheat if there is less chaff.

Minus a university account, I do almost the same thing and have 4 email addresses... Almost thought your dont-spam.me comment was an actual email server though; here I was imaginging that it's some mystical site that you can use to track which company is the culprit for unsolicited spam (e.g. if you made a newsletter with Company ABC and XYZ and you suddenly get Nigerian scam or Viagra offers and it says username_xyz@dont-spam.me, you know where to tear someone a new bunghole ) or automatic deletion... But, I was disheartened when I visited the "site" and just saw some squirrel

It is an email server and I do have an email address there. The squirrel just replaces the generic "Under Construction" web page. I could use it for tracking like you say, except every time I use that email address it adds another possible culprit to the list. After a while it becomes impossible to tell who sold my address.
