Be very careful, if that were regular sausages you'd be insulting Australian Culture and we take our sausages in bread deadly fucken seriously.
Choo choo! All aboard the Complain Train!

Can't think of it, but there's a movie from relatively recent history where a guy has a breakdown in the grocery store about this exact same issue. You're not the only one to recognize this hot dog-to-bun imbalance. Were I Oscar Meyer, I'd embrace this problem and start selling hot dogs in odd numbers just to watch the world burn.
Am I complaining or should I be happy? I had $150 worth of like 20 games in my steam cart the other day. Steam apparently lost my cache overnight because of their shitty security stuff constantly invalidating my connections so it's all gone and I spent like 2 hours browsing games and I don't think I care enough to do it all over again, FOMO passed I think.
We just switched cable/internet providers losing years of movie purchases. While my gf came to terms with that, I reminded her that 95% of those movies we don't watch with enough regularity (if at all) to merit any ire over losing them to a shitty cable provider's service. So to this...
... I say, if you hadn't already pulled the trigger on those games, you probably shouldn't stress over them now. Nothing of substance has been lost. I actually challenged my gf to name 5 movies we owned on that old service that she wanted to keep, and I'd buy the DVD/Blu-ray to compensate her, and she couldn't even do that. If nothing else, the lesson has been don't buy every movie that "looks interesting" if buying a physical copy feels like an unworthy risk.
Iron Maiden release limited edition postal stamps with Royal Mail
English heavy metal band Iron Maiden have been honoured with a set of twelve commemorative stamps.

Iron Maiden postage stamps - created by a company currently in an industrial dispute with it's workforce over pay, conditions, and job cuts - is the least metal thing ever. Also, I don't like Iron Maiden and this just reminded me about them.

I asked one of my friends to talk me out of spending a bunch of money building a custom keyboard (because I know it's a pointless waste of money...but I want one).
She looked up custom keyboards and accidentally got obsessed with "thocky" keyboard ASMR. Now she's telling me I should probably build a custom keyboard.
This is not what I asked for.

Being awesome is never a waste of money.
If it hurts more after sleeping it could be a similar problem to the one I had. It was fixed by putting something on my arm to hold it straight while I slept and then periodically icing during the day.
I'm pretty sure it's just overworked in a combination of the gym, various DIY stuff, and spending all day clicking and scrolling. The tendon is inflammed I think. I know what you mean though as I've sometimes had to splint my wrist when I sleep so I don't curl it inward all night (no idea why I do this).
It's probably the exercise, you should cut that right out.
God designed us to sit in front of screens while holding remote controls. That's why we have butts and thumbs.
Ah man, I was planning to quit my job instead.

California's been getting hit by a lot of storms and I think my roof is starting to leak.
One of the few good things about living in my HOA is that they are responsible for all roof repairs, so at least I won't have to pay for that out of pocket. I reached out to the property management company by email and they got back to me 10 minutes later and scheduled workers to inspect the roof the next day. They'll be coming back again on Friday with infrared camera and moisture meters to figure out how bad the water damage is.
As much as this sucks I'm actually pretty impressed with how quickly the HOA got back to me and started fixing the problem. My parents' HOA has the same deal where they are responsible for fixing damaged roofs and it usually takes them weeks if not months to get off their asses and actually do anything.

Mine flares up every couple of years. It is actually kind of useful. I can get a notice from my doctor that excuses me from mouse and keyboard work for a week or so. Since that's most of my job, I get to use the sick leave that otherwise just piles up and eventually stops accumulating when I hit the cap. And it is sick leave where really, I'm not sick. And the job is aware of that, so I don't have to pretend to be at home in bed if I get a call. It does keep me from gaming for a couple of days, but generally playing something slower paced and using a big controller doesn't make it worse or keep it from getting better.
I don't think I want to arm a cat that so clearly hates me.
