buying khakis sucks now. So many stupid cuts and fit types. Somehow I can't just get new pairs of the ones I'm wearing.

The power flickered yesterday and for some reason when I powered up the computer I was logged out of everything.
And, Yahoo being Yahoo, I was not able to sign in to my email account(s). - The password you have entered is incorrect. I know the password is correct, I've been using it for years and I have it written down. I know the PW is correct for the verification email address because I also have it written down. I have had this email address for about 15 yrs and I'm probably going to just let it go.
Any recommendations for a new free one?

That sounds more like a computer or peripheral issue than a provider issue. Maybe the keyboard isn't reporting the correct keystrokes, or the computer doesn't read them correctly. Try logging in from another machine.
At the very least, type the PW somewhere else (Notepad or whatever) and make sure that what you type is what you see. If that fails (forgive me), power cycle it.
I use Gmail for stuff that is not necessarily top secret and a paid provider called Fastmail for things I don't really want Google reading.
The plane just stopped at the gate.
Sit your dumb ass down and wait until they say to leave.
It won't make things any faster.
Also. Check your damn luggage. You don't need all that stuff.

Excellent advice there, all around. I can't tell you how many times I was standing behind someone and they would type their password and windows would reject it and they would turn around and look at me like "see!? I told you so! Look what the stupid thing is doing to me!"
then I would turn away and have them take the password into the user name field and voilà something was wrong with the keyboard or their keystrokes.
Good to know about Fastmail
Ordered a vevor tubing notcher from Amazon, the openings the shaft the with the hole saw goes through weren't concentric, so the shaft wouldn't turn freely. and I had waited too long to test it to get a refund. So I thought I would turn down the shaft to make it work, but I had literally just sold my mini lathe. I thought about taking it to work using the lathe there, but ended up just chucking it up in the drill and hitting it with the grinder while spinning it. Normally vevor branded stuff has been on par harbor freight for me, but this is the first one that straight up hasn't worked out of the box
My wife's car (09 Jetta wagon) is fighting tooth and nail to get sent down the river.
Axle bolts wouldn't budge with my impact guns, or even my buddies big 1400 ft lb guy. Well, put a little spritz of PB blaster on it and Bob's your uncle! Wtf, never seen such a difference from a little lube on it ..
Next up: strut mount.. one of the nuts on the underside of the mount broke free and started spinning, so I had to sketchily compress the spring and undo the top but to get better access. Thankfully didn't lose any teeth.
Wheel bearing bolts: holy crap! No love from the impact gun. Spat a little lube on it and still no dice. Broke out the torch and after some fuss they came out at the expense of the wheel speed sensors.
Wheel bearing: yup, rusted, didn't want to pop out. Air chisel didn't work when pushing on the bearing or bolts. More lube. To hell with it. Get the mini sledge and bang on the bolts to break it out.
Wheel speed sensor: corroded to hell, and partially melted. You guess it, fought me. Nothing some time with a punch and hammer couldn't win.
I'm regretting opening the can of worms.
In reply to DarkMonohue :
Did all of those things and copy/pasted username and PW from a saved file. The same thing happened when I switched providers for my phone, I was no longer able to log in but was able to reset the PW for the confirmation Yahoo address ... which no longer works.
It looks like the only way I can get in now is to pay for their tech help service. berkeley that.
I'm done with this Yahoo garbage.
In reply to gixxeropa :
Rather than modify it, in that situation I might have considered buying a second and returning the defective one.

Maybe a smart idea, but it works fine now

When my SIL and her son flew down here to meet up with us to fly out later that day for our cruise in Europe, they somehow stuffed everything they needed into technically carry-on compliant luggage for their flights here from WI- they were (not unreasonably so) afraid that their luggage would get lost/delayed when they had to transfer flights in Chicago and that it would scuttle flying out for Europe that evening. I generally loathe it when people carry on luggage that clearly should have been checked, but I get where they were coming from- when the airlines are involved I'm firmly in the camp that Murphy is calling the shots.
In reply to Ashyukun (Robert) :
I refuse to check luggage. I have heard way too many cases of bags getting lost/damaged, and I have personally seen baggage handlers treat luggage worse than I would treat anything I wanted to keep. Ive seen handlers pull bags from stacks taller than their head and let them fall straight onto concrete. I have all my luggage within arms reach of me at all times.
I'll also say that even on trips as long as two weeks, I can fit everything i need into one small duffel and one backpack, so i'm not breaking any airline rules or inconveniencing anyone else.
Ever since I got out of the hospital in June I've been wanting to join a gym so I could workout in the mornings. I finally got approved from my cardiologist about three weeks ago. I toured a couple local gyms and settled on one last week. It's a small gym that's close to my house and open 24 hours for members. I joined online yesterday and drove over this morning at 9am to get my key card and do my first workout. I called the office number and nobody answered. Now I'm sitting in my truck trying to decide if I should hang around for a little while or just go back home.
Sunday morning I was headed to Columbus to pick up another Focus to part out. Had a plan to be at the Uhaul doors to rent a trailer when they opened at 9am, which I was. Guy says "just need your divers license." Sure, here it...Crap. Couldn't find it. When home and ransacked the house. No dice. Trip canceled. Awesome deal on car lost.
Major win out of that deal x2. 1 is I spent the whole day with my son, who is my best friend and partner in crime. We hung out, bought some craft supplies, rode dirtbikes, etc. He's the coolest kid ever. Win 2 was I found out the last business I had to show my drivers license to still has it. So I don't have to suffer at the DMV this week.
Ram dually hub caps... lost 1 in the first 6 years, now 4 in the last year. OEM replacements are stupid $$$ so I bought a replacement set of four from Amazon for less than a single OEM. So far, none of the cheapos have fallen off...
Regional rock station is doing an A-Z playlist and I happened to hear Wanted Dead Or Alive.
How did a second-tier hair metal band from New Jersey manage to write a better country song than has come out of the Nashville machine in the last 20 years?
These last days I've decided to be old and have gout.
Gout hurts

What is so great about it? It doesn't repeat Certain Buzzwords at random. And it doesn't name drop any name brands in ANY of the lyrics, how are they supposed to monetize the song? Popularity or something?
If it came from Nashville it would have to mention dirt roads or blue jeans, preferably both. And something about what brand motorcycle he rode. Probably the guitar, too, but the guitar companies don't pay as much. On second thought, change the lyrics from "steel horse" to "Z71", Chevy probably pays better than Harley or something.

I had to replace a broken axle in my mom's Subaru GL, in a parking lot. Those Subarus are weird in that the AXLE pressed in to the bearing and the HUB was a slip fit on the splines. (Like the rear of an ACVW)
I went to a junkyard and got an entire strut/knuckle/axle assembly because I didn't want to screw around with it.
I almost posted this in the win thread, and it may be a win yet, but I finally found a really good deal on a battery for my car and ordered it. It arrived today falling out of the box it was pkg'd in because the box was soaked with battery acid. They wrapped it in bubble wrap and put it in a box. Sideways.
Im waiting to see what they offer me in discount and, if it's not enough, it's going back.
Idiots.
In reply to ShawnG :
Amen!
the best 2 weeks of flying ever were right after that guy tried to blow up his underwear and they banned all carry ons. People just walked to their seats and sat down and then got off the plane. It was blissful!
Disney is the worst company ever, trying to get rid of ESPN+ because even though I watched last Monday Night Football on it, it doesn't work anymore.
So you go to Hulu to change your plan because that makes no sense. But you can't remove ESPN. No worries, I'll just move it to just Hulu then.
That cancels my Disney+ apparently and I can't just get Disney and Hulu but I can get the bundle with Max, which is fine because it's the same price as before.
But I keep getting an error message for that
berkeley me, why is this so ridiculously hard?
Saw this on another forum and it immediately reminded me of Toyman's parking ticket post ...
