minor things that make you fume

[ClausThomsen]

I absolutely get this. I've been passionate about such things since I was a teen, but still live for the day that Einstein and the speed of light speed limit are proved to be wrong / a misunderstanding. Mainly because of the limit it puts on space travel, but also I feel the universe should be a bit more straight forward / Newtonian than all that. I get cynical that, seemingly, every time sone evidence crops up to disprove Einstein, then a bunch of physicists (whose livelihoods and reputations are based on him) dream up yet another dimension to the universe just so that it carries on working, theoretically, via the maths.

Infuriating!

Indeed. The counter argument though is that maths tends not to lie and just imagine the kudos of being the physicist who successfully corrects Einstein.

Don't think we're gonna see Star Trek in our lifetimes. Just arsehole billionaires blowing unimaginable amounts of wealth on bouncing around the exosphere to stroke their own ego.

Agreed, maybe not in our lifetime but I'm interested to see what musk can do with 4 years of unhampered opportunity to try and get to mars and colonise it. For better or for worse it will be interesting, he is clearly dead set on trying to achieve his multiplanetary vision

When you're stuck using one-ply toilet paper, then your finger tears through it while you're wiping your hoop, and you get some poo on it!

It should be a minimum of two-ply, you philistines!

I have honestly never seen one-ply (except the tracing paper we used to have in school).

Where do you get it?

Can you still get black and white tellies?

It wasn't the medication that was the issue. It had the texture of 2000 wet-and-dry or tracing paper and was waxed and utterly unabsorbant. It was ALL that was available to most of us in the 60s and 70s. When modern generations harp on about how we oldies had it so good it's because they never had to scrape their hoops with the equivalent of scrunched up razor blades.

This. Use that and you feel like you've been tampered with.

Dafuk is happening to this thread / forum, fuming about the time space continuum and theoretical inter dimensional physics?

Mrs Hawtree bought some one-ply recently at some Discount Shoppe - seems like she bought a case of the stuff because it took forever to go through it, notwithstanding @Tommy Chong comments.
Whole family was not exactly cock-a-hoop about using it but she was insistent she wasn't buying any more until the one-ply was gone! I think in the end the now-grown kids were hiding it and disposing of it somewhere surreptitiusly.
Finally the nightmare was over and some better stuff arrived - Literally a pain in the arse.

Please don't mention my post to your wife.

She might send me a few hundred rolls.

Slates for plates.

I always send it back if they send it out on them

Bad manners is top of my list although when you come across good manners it is great to witness, a bit rare these days unfortunately!

On a similar note, when my mrs put anything away, it feels like you need a degree in structural engineering to know how to touch it without causing everything to collapse.
Pans in the draw, put away like a world champion jenga pro.
Tableware on the drainer, is like a game of kerplunk
Pushchair and stuff in the boot of the car, like trying to untangle a quantum entity.
Even food in the fridge or cupboards, you can’t take out the brown sauce without risking a condiment avalanche.
