        My Fitbit's Dashboard highlights the last week's "worst day" in shameful, sad red.

        ... There's always going to be a least active day in a week dammit! Even if you're an athlete who runs 40km a day, one day you'll run 39 - boom, shame! Unless I guess I make sure to take the exact same number of steps on seven consecutive days, in which case the entire week was bad I guess.

          Amen. I hate seeing the sadness. I've run laps around the living room to try and rescue a day. Damn fat shaming Fitbit. I really wanted the Charge HR but my wrist is too tiny. The hard solid part extends past the side of my wrist and it doesn't work right. 😞

            @Luna My wife got me a Surge which is great but perhaps overkill for my current activities. Maybe once the weather gets better and I start cycling it'll be handy though - plus I hadn't actually worn a watch since I started carrying cellphones around, so that's cool. 🙂

            And it can handle being on an elliptical, for which @EmmahSue hates and despises me forever.

              @Arkandel I looooove the elliptical. I do that after I run because it's easy. I remeber when they made me want to die. The Surge is cool. I'm getting the Apple Watch to replace my Fitbit whatever thisthingonmywrist is.

                    I hear Jesus was a homeless Communist hippie who went on man-dates in the Desert, used drugs, and was against the Establishment.

                    You and I should totes hang out with him. Maybe we could be the 20th and 21st disciples.

                    I hear he was looking for students AND Employees, so that's both of us sorted. He also has his own health insurance plan. He did this rest cure for this dude called Lazarus.

                    I just hope I can transfer the credits Jesus gives me to a local university, so I can finally get a degree. Because, apparently, these days you need a degree even for innocuous things like stuffing envelopes. I am serious. A cursory look at any employment website will reveal this.

                          House hunting. The whole thing is one big peeve and I'm just renting. I wish I liked apartments, that's much easier. Why is the Zillow price different than the HAR price? Did you take your pictures with a magic camera because this is not the same house. The people next door to my bff are very nice people but damn I wish they'd move. I wish they would find a really nice house since they have 5 kids and a very very tiny 2 bedroom. 1,500 sq ft is just fine for me and my kid.

                          Fun? What is this fun thou speakest of?

                            So a couple of weeks ago my Linux install on my PC ganked out. Okay, I had been messing with it a fair bit and was looking toward reinstalling anyway so whatever (although it could have died when I wasn't running a PrP at the time).

                            This morning it had issues again. Hrm. Odd. I try to reinstall it - IO errors. Well, maybe the SSD is dying on me, right? So I format it anyway, only this time after a boot fdisk doesn't even see it. Nice! Okay, dead drive. Let's install on the HDD for now so I can have a system? Nope! no joy. This sure is odd.

                            Only now not even the DVD drive will boot anything any more. Nothing better than a fried motherboard to start off a weekend, is there? But hey, at least I have this here crappy laptop to at least whine about it. 😛

                              Oh god, dont let my computer hear you. Twice in two days it froze up and when i restarted it it wouldnt detect the boot drives. Got it working again after beating it into submission and finally getting it to load the install disc for a startup repair. Praying it's not gonna fry on me. Cannot afford any fixes right now.

                                I really need a particular screwdriver to clean this thing out because gaming laptops love to overheat and fry themselves. Woop woop.

                                    Seems like there's a computer flu season or something. My monitor just decided to die on me. Weird yellow stripes all over the entire screen. At first I thought it was the graphics card, then I spent the day troubleshooting and trying to figure out HOW in the name of all that is holy I'm gonna manage to replace it. In the evening a friend came by and I plugged in the monitor just to check... It worked. Just fine. Like nothing happened. Aside from feeling relieved, I also felt majorly trolled.

                                      My Macbook Air died. What a piece of crap, I can't believe it's dead after I spilled a drink right into it. Flimsy Apple stuff, it was only half a can of diet dr pepper after all.

                                      Fun? What is this fun thou speakest of?

                                        I've had the same computer since 2008. Before that I had the same computer from 2001-2008.

                                        I feel extremely lucky with computers. It also doesn't hurt that I buy the same brand/model every time I guess.

                                        As for a peeve: Living in the goddamn back woods and having to pick up my online-shopping items from the post office, which is never open on the weekends. Curse you, Etsy.

                                          @ThatOneDude Yeah, but it doesn't have come with a video card? Nor can you use it to bludgeon your foes into submission.

                                          ... I have a small gaming problem. Just a small one. Also, I feel your pain, Admiral.

                                            My Toshiba laptop, which I've had just over a year, is already dying. The keyboard went out and now the fan/HD are starting to go. The ASUS I had before lasted me over five years, on two continents, and still works other than a limping graphics card.

                                            Lesson learned: Buy ASUS. Do not buy Toshiba.
