Don't you hate it when you run into some glitches in a video game? Some are avoidable, some are not. Those unavoidable ones tend to get in your way to enjoy the game.

I really hate it when I can't tell if it's a bug or if I'm just doing something wrong. It's usually 50/50, and looking at a walkthrough shows me what I'm doing wrong half the time.Originally Posted by Nadouku

Of course - we hate it. everyone does, Fallout 3, buggerfall, Dungeon Lords - great examples of annoying buggy games.

I got fallout 3 for christmas for PS3 and it wants to update before it will play and then it fails to update after a few minutes stuck midway on the update download screen.
i messed w\ my router for a few minutes and it didn't help so i haven't touched it since.
Hate singstar... honestly really hate it

Our refrigerator just broke. I think it's 15 years old, so we got good use out of it. I'm checking prices for a new fridge and damn these things are expensive. What's worse is the number of bad reviews for brands with good reputations like Kenmore and Whirlpool.

Kenmore and Whirlpool often re-brand refrigerators and other large appliances (washers, dryers, stove tops) from other manufacturers and call them there own. I've seen several models somewhere else with Amana or LG or one of the other less famous brands and everything else is exactly the same (even the model number).
Sears and other large retailers all do this because Kenmore and Whirlpool are "signature" brands. It's not like they really make all of the products with their name stamped on it anymore.
You should try a retailer that still runs on salespeople and commissions. There's a good chance you can make out on a deal by driving the price down (especially by telling one of them what the other is offering). It might help a bit.
Thanks for the info. That sucks that you can't depend on name branding anymore. The folks bought a Whirlpool washer over a year ago and it's already on the fritz.
It's the fridge at the parents' house so it's their decision, but since the current one is kaput we didn't have time to shop around or risk having to throw out a fridge full of food when it all spoils. Currently we've placed 7 bags of ice in the fridge to keep things cool until the new one is delivered in 2 days. We went with Kenmore. They only come with 1 year warranties now.

$390 electric bill....
WTF! OMFG!
seriously though... I want to call and bitch to them but the last time that happened I had some lady on the other end of the phone repeatedly try to explain to me that they come and read the meter, then they come again and subtract the difference. I explained to her that I was well aware of the simple math but that it wasn't possible for 2 people to use 1500 kwh in 2 weeks in a 600 sq foot apartment.
last months was like... $190 - around 1000-1100 kwh. insanity.
seriously... we're not running a grow operation in the closet... no 500w bulbs burning 12 hours a day... not happening.
That happened a few weeks ago at home.
The idiot who took the reading wrote down 800 instead of 300 in one of the two readings (my house has two... dunno why... its been like that before I was born) so the bill was more than double than it should be.
They corrected it... after 1 week of calling them and them sending an inspector
Fuckers...
i saw an old bill at my inlaws house and their usage for the month was like 200kwh and they have alot more room than we do.
i checked earlier and our usage is @ 45kwh/day for the past 10 days and the $390 bill was 60kwh/day. Maybe the kitten is playing w\ the oven while i'm at work.
todays bitch : why can't every week be a 4 day work week? i would definately put in 10 hour days if wednesday or thursday was a day off.
You'd be less productive in the last 2 hours of the 10 hour days, so it would basically be giving you a day off each week, which would ruin a company. Believe me, I work 12 hour days and a good 6 hours of each day is wasted time.

12 hours a day? damn that's hard.

You get used to it, especially since you only really work 4-6 hours a day. Having to be accountable for 12 hours a day sucks. I don't know how I'll go back to 8 hour work days only 5 days a week.

I used to work like that. 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. Until I abandoned IT (where I was a 'Junior Tester') and went to Process (where now I am a Process Implementator).
Now I get to make the IT people work while I only work 9 hours a day, 5 days a week.
It's raining ice, and your electricity goes out for a week. Now, you have to move to an apartment or hotel or get a power generator. That was pretty hectic.

As in.....it's hailing?
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
That wasn't the case, fortunately, or else it would have done a lot more damage than the icy rainstorm. It was basically rain, but since it was below freezing at the time, as soon as it hit something, it would freeze. The weight of the acculumated ice would drag the power line down, causing it to collaspe and cause blackouts. Mines lasted for a week.

Ouch, that's bad.
It would not be such a big problem for me and my parents(we got power generator(diesel one) in basement prepared for their caravaning trips), but damn - its just purely bad.
