The air conditioner fan on my F-150 Lariat (think "boss truck" with leather seats and power everything) is stuck on one speed. It still blows cold air, but it takes a solid 10 minutes to cool the truck from "sitting outside in Texas heat" to "comfortable". I don't know what I'd do without my cooled seats to help make it less miserable when I get in to drive home.
~300 horsepower isn't enough for my compact car and it takes well over four seconds to reach 60mph. I don't have time for that.
No one cares about any of my opinions
I'm sorry - did you say something?
Not that I was aware of! I'm talking about my VW. Fast is never fast enough. Neither is faster.
I'm a firm believer of 'no replacement for displacement'.
it's a slow afternoon at work and mylespaul.com keeps giving me a "resource limit reached" message so I have fallback to talkbass.com.
I got kicked out of a bar because I wouldn't show the bar tender my ID.......I am 72 pushing 73.
And I saw a juvenile porcupine in my driveway last night. Cute little creature.

Although unnatural aspiration goes a long way.
If I wanted to drop money for a simple software tune and a high flow cat I'd be at 387 HP and 409 FT-LB of torque.
Which would lead me to the first world problem of needing tires more often.
Bass-GAS-related: Having to decide which bass is next to acquire from my top 3. Internal monologue, "I'd love you all, but I have to choose the next one!"

One of the plethora of FWPs with which my life is currently plagued:
Last year we bought an optioned-out SUV. It’s really nice. It’s almost perfect. It would be that much closer to perfect if the zit-faced minimum-wage flunkie programmer in the basement of their electronics division had taken the time to ensure that my steering-wheel satellite radio preset select button went up through the list when the up button is pressed and the display is on the home screen and went up through the list when the up button is pressed and the display is on the radio detail screen. Sheesh. How hard could that have been? Apparently nobody gives a crap about quality control any more.
Not only that, but when I inquired at the dealership about possibly having the factory address this defect through a simple firmware update, all I got were blank stares, save for the one fellow who just slowly shook his head from left to right and back again. Luddites. Luddites, in the 21st century!! It’s purgatory, I tell you!
They don’t have that little loop? You should sue!!!

I going crazy trying to coordinate the logistics of getting an engine I need for my 30's sports car air freighted from across the Atlantic.
I hadnt played in months, and played for hours the other day. Got a blister on my left ring finger. It was mildly uncomfortable. This made me sad.
People who microwave fish are the scourge of the break room.
A buddy of mine built some very nice wooden pedal boards and offered to give me one for free. I really want to take one so I can build separate guitar and bass boards, but then I'll need to buy another power supply.
