I feel for you. I'm currently swaying between Nantes and Halifax. I've got a 7 hour layover at Montréal just now. The gate 68 is near a good pianist and have confortable couches to lie down in though.
I was thinking that this was absurd route to fly, but then I remembered that there's a Halifax in Canada too. I'm guessing you don't mean the British one? Not sure where your Nantes is but I'm guessing that's not in France?
Nantes is in western France. Halifax in Nova Scotia. They've both got smaller airports and therefore I've got to fly in and out from Paris and Montréal.
Halifax in England to Nantes in France would only be about 9 hours on the train, so even if you can't fly direct (which I doubt) doing so with a seven hour layover on another continent seemed bonkers!
A lot of my extended family live in Canada and when I was a kid that was the only place we went on holiday. One year my brother and I begged to go to Spain
I feel this. We took a completely selfish, just for us, not visiting people family holiday this year for the first time… eldest had just turned 15! Wish we’d done it way sooner, they all still talk about it now and it was 5 months ago.
I bought my wife a horse trailer for Christmas and a trim piece around one of the windows came off on the way home so it looks horrible. I called the dealership and they want me to bring it back but they are two hours away from me,
I get too many job offers (I'm a freelancer working on live shows) and I had to turn down an A-list artist yesterday because I'm working on another A-list artist's show
Stadium and arena tours, I do the visuals & animation for the big screens and different treatments for the imag (the live footage of the performers that goes up on the screens). I don't go on tour, we just set it up beforehand.
If you have been involved in any of the Nine Inch Nails tour this year.....good job. Very good job. Though it sounds like you're shit hot at what you do!
I wasn't, I went to see it though. Very cool. They definitely "nailed" it. Weyyyyy.
From what I've heard they build in a lot of rehearsal / messing about time to try things out physically which you don't always get much of, as it's the most expensive part of the process
Its 43f inside my shack rick now, its 18f outside and strong wind and snow. I gotta get up and start a fire but i would rather stay under my wool blankets.
My first world problem is explaining that "first world problems" doesn't mean problems of a privileged nature, it means problems pertaining to countries that were aligned with capitalism after the second world war. Second world was communist-aligned and third world was not aligned at all. Ireland, for example, was third world.
Yes definitely true. I only really learned a few years back when looking up where the term came from. I apologise that, as a Brit, I thought it was hilarious that our Irish cousins were 3rd world.
The fact that lovely land was counted as third world under the cold War labels is pretty new to me, too.
I wonder how many Irish people would be extremely angry if a person chose to point out they're from a third world country. I certainly don't plan to do it, but I can occasionally be a right arsehole when provoked...
Likely the wind, lack of idling at lights and not needing to idle when waiting to turn. Could have just been you were driving at optimal gearing and speed for your vehicle. Some cars thats 65, others 59. Also depends on weather. You could possibly narrow it down by checking out a forum on hypermiling. Where they are obsessed with getting maximum milage, even to the point of not braking when turning or going over optimal speeds. Even getting rid of weight in the car. If you drove a fairly long distance, it could just be tire pressure and road surface combined with lack of passenger's.
I spent $400 on groceries to feed 20 people at our annual Friendsgiving today. On Thursday I was coming down the stairs after letting my grandkids in who were going to help me with the cooking. I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. I have been in the hospital since then, and will be until Tuesday at least, when I will have surgery to fix my break.
I was organizing my finances to purchase a house, but I'm an American, so the co-pays on this bullshit are going to wipe out my down payment.
I’m going to eventually lose my childhood home because of my moms cancer bills. Whenever her and my dad pass away, Medicaid is going to take their home and their car to pay back her bills so I’ll be left with nothing and all their hard work to own their home will be gone.
Yeah, my brother is disabled and could move in to save it but he’s 10 years older than me and it will get taken upon his death. I’ve been trying to find a way to keep the inheritance in the family but I think we’re just screwed. I’m in the us unfortunately
There was a fire in the building I live in a year and a half ago. I'm still waiting to be able to move back (could be as late as June next year), but I work remotely so I've been travelling a lot. When I moved to Bangkok from Mexico City in May I just felt tired from all the traveling and not having a proper home. And when I think about it I always feel like it's such a first world problem, "Oh, I'm so tired of traveling to all these amazing places and having these amazing experiences" but, damn, I just want to sleep in my own bed again.
I've worked out I like my Vimto squash just less than half the recommended strength. I bought a 3l dispenser for the fridge and worked out 250mls of squash is exactly the right amount to make 3l. Very boring but satisfying. 😂 The recommended ratio of 1:4 means it should be 600mls to make 3litres of drink. No way could I drink that!
Although maybe you mean butternut squash? In which case ignore...
Feeling unhappy that I won’t be able to do another toy order for Christmas for my toddler even though I already spent £900 pounds on her. I feel disgusting even typing this, but I did save the money all through the year.
It is, she is non verbal and can’t tell me what she wants so I just buy a lot of stuff in the hope at least some of it will pique her interest. Probably 50% of it will end up on Vinted but I just want a smile on Christmas Day, just one smile and I will be happy.
Play eith her with any of those toy and be an entertaining clown and that will get mor enjoy than any of the toys . Kids love when you make yourself the big idiot
The pension I am going to receive is so low compared to the rest of Europe because our politicians are cunts. And I could have made it a lot more by putting a lot more of my earnings, on top of my national insurance, into it instead of living my life. All because my government are cunts.
Trying to sleep but I can hear my next door neighbours snoring through the walls. The walls aren’t that thin either, they’re just bassy snores ugh. Perhaps they’ve rearranged their room as I’ve never heard it before
The band that holds the loose end of the watch strap on my Fitbit broke a few months ago, and I've been using a rubber band instead. Originally, I meant to buy a new Fitbit band, but I never got around to it because I only notice the rubber band when I put the Fitbit on and take it off. A coworker noticed this recently and sent me a link to purchase new Fitbit bands, so now I'm a little self-conscious about it... But I don't want to purchase a Fitbit band because that coworker might think I did so because they noticed it. It's kind of a waiting game that I have to play.
I gotta poop but there's someone in all three of the bathrooms in my house and since I love in the first world I can't just go outside and poop in a bush.
Local trades (so no guarantee) are ranging from 6-9k, I nearly bit at 6k but I was too frightened of getting a cowboy, he had no references (NextDoor app) so here I am, still with my falling apart bathroom 😭
I’m a trade, plumber as it goes ( not hawking for work!!) do you know anyone you trust like a family member, friend, work colleague etc. 90% of my work is recommendation. Go with someone you have been told was good, didn’t rip them off and they trusted. Most trades that advertise on all random forms are usually a bit of a gamble imo.
I need to move cash out of my savings account (because it is too much) and i really cannot decide on a liquid safe investment. I am already rather overexposed to the S&P 500. It's a huge pain in the ass.
We're in the UK and can't invest as much as we'd like because the cost of nursery for our 2nd child is getting in the way. In 19 months that will change and we'll then have to switch gears to over-inflating my pension for 19 months before new tax rules (may) come into force that impact pension saving. So in total we're forced to wait 38 months to be in a position to truly begin diversifying our investment portfolio.
Botox is cheaper further away than close to me, but driving there would make up for the price difference. So I’m stuck getting more expensive botox at clinics nearby.
Not knowing whether I shouldn’t get a rectangular standing mirror, a slightly oval standing mirror, or a wall circle mirror which I would have to put up obviosuly
One has cubicles and the WiFi doesn't reach, but it has heating.
The other is a single loo in its own room and the WiFi reaches, but has no heating. It's really cold here atm
So it a choice of having privacy and wifi but being freezing cold, or being warm but having to listen to other people go to the loo and having no internet
For work, I travel to couple of conferences around Europe each year, exploring new cities. This year the main conference is in London, I am based in London.
Feel like I'm constantly having to charge/plug in my stuff.
Kindle, watch, phone, tablet, laptop, chrome book etc there's always something that is put of battery just when I want to use it!
I hate my co-workers. They’re bitchy and I’m sure they talk about me behind my back. I think I just hate working/working with people in general because I’ve been looking around for another job and they all sound awful. I just wish I could work from home and not have to leave my nice house, on a computer where I don’t have to deal with office bitchiness or people… but I know I should be grateful to even have a job where the hours are good and the pay is decent enough.
My wife wanted the Kobo page turner for Christmas, it’s £25. They sold out on the Kobo store in seconds so I had to pay inflated Amazon pricing at £35.
I have too many hobbies and I want to be good at all of them. There just not enough hours in the day and it makes me resent my work and family for consuming my time.
I had a 70 minute long massage the other day because my back is hurty from working from home. Paying someone to slather my back in deliciously scented oils is quite literally disgusting.
In fairness, it was a birthday present, but still.
I’m buying a new house and a deciding factor was the number of bathrooms. There’s 4 of us (two adults and two kids under 3) and I wanted the kids to have their own bathrooms as they grow up. The house we loved only comes with 3 en-suites 😪.
I’m on a day off and have been woken up by a works truck outside my house. It’s a bit chilly and I have to go around 10 seconds walk to turn on the heat.
I forgot to pick our HelloFresh dinners this week so they have sent out their picks and I’m not looking forward to our dinner tonight, it’s the last one of the week so can’t even change it 😫
I make a full time income passively from an online venture I started many years ago, which has thankfully allowed me to not need a day job to sustain myself. Both my kids are at school now. All my friends work. I am suffering from soul crippling boredom and I’m considering getting a day job just for entertainment purposes.
I have lots of battery operated Christmas lights with a built in timer for 6 hrs on, 18 hrs off. 6 hrs isn't long enough to last us through the evening so I am debating switching them all on and off manually instead.
Me and my wife have no idea what to get each other for Christmas because we often have a spare couple thousand pound every month after paying all our bills, so we just buy stuff we want when we want.
My family live in South Africa and Australia so we seem to have to go to one of those two for every other holiday. I live in the UK
That sounds pretty expensive.
I feel for you. I'm currently swaying between Nantes and Halifax. I've got a 7 hour layover at Montréal just now. The gate 68 is near a good pianist and have confortable couches to lie down in though.
I was thinking that this was absurd route to fly, but then I remembered that there's a Halifax in Canada too. I'm guessing you don't mean the British one? Not sure where your Nantes is but I'm guessing that's not in France?
Nantes is in western France. Halifax in Nova Scotia. They've both got smaller airports and therefore I've got to fly in and out from Paris and Montréal.
Fair enough.
Halifax in England to Nantes in France would only be about 9 hours on the train, so even if you can't fly direct (which I doubt) doing so with a seven hour layover on another continent seemed bonkers!
Unless I have to transit through Paris, Texas : )
Might be useful if you're going to Halifax, Queensland Australia.
I had no idea I also assumed UK too.
Ha I do the travel to Halifax too!! I refuse to go for christmas now because I have had too many delays over the years for storms
Just don't?
A lot of my extended family live in Canada and when I was a kid that was the only place we went on holiday. One year my brother and I begged to go to Spain
I feel this. We took a completely selfish, just for us, not visiting people family holiday this year for the first time… eldest had just turned 15! Wish we’d done it way sooner, they all still talk about it now and it was 5 months ago.

I get too many job offers (I'm a freelancer working on live shows) and I had to turn down an A-list artist yesterday because I'm working on another A-list artist's show
Could u tell us what kind of shows if it’s not too personal?
Stadium and arena tours, I do the visuals & animation for the big screens and different treatments for the imag (the live footage of the performers that goes up on the screens). I don't go on tour, we just set it up beforehand.
If you have been involved in any of the Nine Inch Nails tour this year.....good job. Very good job. Though it sounds like you're shit hot at what you do!

Yeah, I can imagine! Thanks for the little peek behind the curtain there, you really uhhh peeled it back, so to speak.
Raking and disposing of leaves on my acre-fenced in yard
Leave them. I stopped raking 4 years ago on my acre and I have less problems with "bad" bugs and twice as many fireflies in the summer.
Why lol, just leave them and they'll go on their own
I have this exact same problem.
Didn't help with the disposing but a leafblower sure made my "raking" better.
Arguing over what type of takeaway we are going to have on a Friday night

I'm too cold in my house. Because of the air conditioning. Which we run 10 months out of the year in South Texas.
My first world problem is explaining that "first world problems" doesn't mean problems of a privileged nature, it means problems pertaining to countries that were aligned with capitalism after the second world war. Second world was communist-aligned and third world was not aligned at all. Ireland, for example, was third world.
Interesting
All that is definitely a "was" because people have completely forgotten how the labels were meant to be used.
P.S. Republic of Ireland.
Yes definitely true. I only really learned a few years back when looking up where the term came from. I apologise that, as a Brit, I thought it was hilarious that our Irish cousins were 3rd world.

This actually made me chuckle. I live in Northern Ireland, and we tend to be angry most of the time anyway!
Staying over 50mpg regularly. My average is only 45-48mpg. For a couple of days I pulled 55-60mpg and have no clue what I did differently.
Likely the wind, lack of idling at lights and not needing to idle when waiting to turn. Could have just been you were driving at optimal gearing and speed for your vehicle. Some cars thats 65, others 59. Also depends on weather. You could possibly narrow it down by checking out a forum on hypermiling.

If you drove a fairly long distance, it could just be tire pressure and road surface combined with lack of passenger's.
I find my mpg increases dramatically when I have less stress.
Tyre preassure makes a huge difference for your mpg, i'd experiment a little!
I'm aware, tire pressure hasn't changed anymore than usual.
I spent $400 on groceries to feed 20 people at our annual Friendsgiving today. On Thursday I was coming down the stairs after letting my grandkids in who were going to help me with the cooking.

That’s not trivial at all. That sucks. Sorry that happened.
I’m going to eventually lose my childhood home because of my moms cancer bills. Whenever her and my dad pass away, Medicaid is going to take their home and their car to pay back her bills so I’ll be left with nothing and all their hard work to own their home will be gone.
In the uk they can’t take your home if someone disabled lives there - is this a thing for you and know anyone disabled you can move in?
Yeah, my brother is disabled and could move in to save it but he’s 10 years older than me and it will get taken upon his death. I’ve been trying to find a way to keep the inheritance in the family but I think we’re just screwed. I’m in the us unfortunately
I’m so sorry. It just sucks, it’s so unfair.
Goodbye any hope of generational wealth :)
In the uk there simply wouldnt be any cancer bills to pay in the first place!!
Not cancer bills but care home bills. You have to contribute down to your last - 20k? - which means selling your home if it comes to it.

I make a full time income passively from an online venture I started many years ago, which has thankfully allowed me to not need a day job to sustain myself. Both my kids are at school now. All my friends work. I am suffering from soul crippling boredom and I’m considering getting a day job just for entertainment purposes.
I ate too much last night and dident sleep, have been tired all day, I could go to bed right now but im going to play on my computer instead.
I have lots of battery operated Christmas lights with a built in timer for 6 hrs on, 18 hrs off. 6 hrs isn't long enough to last us through the evening so I am debating switching them all on and off manually instead.
Me and my wife have no idea what to get each other for Christmas because we often have a spare couple thousand pound every month after paying all our bills, so we just buy stuff we want when we want.
I got a Christmas bonus and it was so big it put me in a new tax bracket
The job market.
Third world job market in a first would country.
That is, a set of jobs for the rich and well connected, and a set of scarce/crappy jobs for the desperate.
I live in the uk where do I begin?
We’re a third world country so I wouldn’t bother.
Don't believe everything on social media kiddo.
Okay let me rephrase, “the majority of us are treated like it’s a third world country in one of the richest countries in the world”… Better? 🥴
