Apropos of nothing, it's impossible to be hungover while still drunk.

You just can't out-endear this.

In this week's late night convenience store adventures:

I was not buying beer, I was buying some flu medicine and gatorade because I've been running a fever for the last several hours, passed out, and didn't wake up until now.

Go to chevron, Philmon has the place locked down and is doing his whole "pretend I don't hear the bell" routine. At this point when faced with this scenario I usually just drive down the road to 7/11 because it's honestly faster than waiting for him to stop smoking weed or jacking off or whatever he does back there.

So I fill up my gas while I'm at chevron using my CC. Head down the road to 7/11, pick up my stuff. There's an older confused looking gentleman doing several lotto transactions for some iranian looking mother****er that seemed like he was out to lunch too. Oh boy here we go. In the world of "worst people to get behind in line at the store" are the lotto ticket people and they are in a league of their own.

That takes several minutes. At this point I normally wouldn't be annoyed because it's a situation I've encountered thousands of times but my head was pounding and I could barely stand. It's my turn, he rings up my stuff, I insert my card. Immediately gets kicked back with message "Transaction cancelled."

I see him punch some stuff into his terminal, figure there was something on his end he still needed to do. I hear a beep, he nods, I try again. Transaction cancelled. He tells me something is wrong with my card - which I know is impossible. Transaction cancelled message almost always means it's something on his end, I've worked with these types of systems before and I'm like 99.99% sure it was something he needed to do to enable my transaction. Then he tells me declined - and I said no, it said cancelled. He tells me I need to try a different card, same message. He says declined again.

I was like "lol, dude, it's not declined, but I'll brb."

Go to my car and scrounge around in my glovebox and find a $10 bill thank god. Go back in. At this point the girl behind me was trying to buy cigarettes and encountering the same issue. And he was trying to tell her that HER card was declined. At this point, come on.

One eternity later, he finally figures out the right input to accept a CC transaction and she rings up her purchase. I buy my ****: time elapsed since I walked in, 22 minutes.

JFC. I have said on here many times i try not to get annoyed at people with ****ty jobs but these systems are literally designed for morons to use.

Lapka: you are my favorite

Greg: Sevens don’t start til tomorrow, but the boys are in town and we’re already in full gear. 2am sustenance:

is that denny's? That's exactly what I get every time.

J,

No, it’s an old school 24hr diner. I rarely ever go now, but used to frequent it often in my younger degen years: http://www.pinecrestdiner.com

Went there after a few hours at Chelsea place. https://yelp.to/qTKq/K0QeBa8DHO

I figure someday the bartenders will realize it’s always a losing proposition playing dice vs me for drinks, but until then it’ll stay the cheapest place for me to drink in SF.

The chicken fried steak looks maybe overcooked on the outside, but the gravy looks good

Chicken fried steak is my absolute favorite guilty pleasure food, and denny's is suprisingly good and looks similar to that, that's why I asked. The hash browns look perfectly cooked though.

It's a surprisingly hard thing to cook at home, I've tried a few times.

if I have a pdf document(opens with adobe acrobat reader) on my computer can I get it into the Kindle cloud? If so, how?

I am aware of the Adobe cloud thing which has some benefits but would like to get the document into Kindle Cloud

The easy way to send ebooks and documents to your Kindle Cloud is to install an app called Send2Kindle. There's a version for Windows, OSX, and Android, and once it is installed and configured it is dead simply to use.

For the PC app, simply select the file you wish to send (in Windows explorer, for example), right click on it, and choose the Send2Kindle option. This should also show up as a print option when viewing a file in MSWord, Adobe Reader, etc.

And do you know the best part about Send2Kindle? When you run the app, it will create a window. Any compatible file which you drag to that window and release will be sent to your Kindle Cloud.

For more details on this app, visit the Send2Kindle on Amazon.com.

Or, open the Manage Your Kindle page on Amazon.com:

Amazon.com/myk/

Log in to your account, and switch to the settings tab:

Scroll down the page until you see the section labeled "Approved Personal Document E-mail List". This is the section where you will need to list all of the email addresses which you will be using to send content to the Kindle Cloud.

One you've done that, scroll up that manage your Kindle page and find the section titled "Send-to-Kindle E-Mail Settings".

This is where you'll find the specific email addresses for each of the Kindle apps and hardware. Did you know that you can send a document or ebook to a specific app or Kindle? That's why they each have their own email address.

To send a document to your Kindle device or app, simply attach it to an e-mail addressed to your Send-to-Kindle e-mail.It is not necessary to include a subject in the email.

No, but I lived in Germany for a few years and I taught beginning German for several years. Your English is far better than my German, but I know enough German to see when your English syntax seems to be influenced by German.

I also taught an advanced English class for military officers from Poland for a while, and I see some Slavic influences in your English sometimes too, usually with articles.

I got you fam

J,


Chicken fried steak really is the best, and it’s not very hard to do well at home. One key is starting with the right meat. Have you started with a cube steak?

ty Gregorio!!!

El D, the steak is easy, the hard part is the gravy

J,

Cream gravy for CFS is super easy.

Cowboy Kent shows you how easy it is at the five minute mark. He uses evaporated milk plus water, but just regular milk is totally fine.


For great CFS gravy, be sure not to skimp on the pepper, that’s key imo.

fyp

That CFS breakfast you posted looks great except for the criminally burnt toast. Who wants to sop the egg yolks or the CFS gravy with that cardboard?

Tom,

Ate exactly zero of the toast, sopped up everything with the hash browns!

El D,

Was Rexx right about your stylistic changes or are you being intentionally rude to Tom by not including his quote like this?

Expert!

Micro,

It’s only necessary to quote posts when either there’s ambiguity re: which post you’re responding to, or enough time has passed since the initial post that it’s helpful to quote the post to provide context for readers.

This should probably go in the things that piss me off thread but I'm already here.

It pisses me off when I go to reply to a comment and someone else comes along and make an unrelated comment while I'm submitting my post. I'm then forced to click thru, grab a quote of the post I'm referring to, and edit my post.

It sometimes makes me wonder about how I'm wasting my life.

El D,

Ok. So long as it goes salutation->quote->response instead of the vulgar quote->salutation->response when it is used.

Thanking you for the clarification and hoping this reply finds you well, your humble OOT-compatriot,

microbet

Happens to me all the time.

you should look into the science of memories, if there was some way to test, id bet my net worth that you are all wrong. Its kind of scary, I pretty much dont trust any memory I have anymore

haha, yeah that is the absolute worst.

Pretty sick to have a loose $10 bill floating around!
