What if you run into very polite schnauzers all day? What if you want to be filthy rich so you make sure you just run into extremely rich people all day? Is this The Secret? Did I just figure it out?
Funnily enough, I ran into one of those just now on the way home from the gym. He was very proper and courteous and a good boy.
SqueakyFoo is confused because they're required on cars in Canada. In the US it's a state by state issue and most states don't require a retrofit if the car was purchased elsewhere and moved to a state that requires them while Canada does require it to register the vehicle. So to SqueakyFoo, there are lots of "backwards" parts of the world with respect to daytime lights.
Two days ago, a patron reported that "the arrow thing" wasn't moving on her computer. I went over and found her mouse wasn't working. Tried to plug it in, it seemed to be in there nice and secure. Restarted a couple of times, no luck. I noticed the tracking light thingy wasn't on (most of our mice have them). Called IT. He replaced the mouse and all was well. Last night, on a different computer, the SAME PATRON reported that "the arrow thing" wasn't moving on her computer. Went through the same steps with the same results, and called IT who replaced the mouse. HOW IS SHE DOING THIS???
I CALL FOUL. I own a (mini) schnauzer, and I'm telling you right now there's no such thing as a polite schnauzer.
My grandmother had a schnauzer, and that schnauzer was very polite and proper. Also, see Thoro's post. Maybe your dog is not polite or maybe you're an asshole. Or, maybe you're a schnauzer.
I was going to say "maybe it's the USB port? but then I saw "different computer." So, I'm going with a very specific form of minor demonic possession as the only plausible explanation.
My dog is definitely an asshole, no question.I mean, he's our asshole, so we love him and everything, but he's a little dick. What makes it extra sad/hilarious is that I live in a town that has a large German population, and from what I gather mini-schnauzers were super popular as a pet with the German immigrant population of a couple generations ago. So we have these kindly, adorable German couples who see Harry* and flash back to their own no-doubt adorable little dog from days gone by and they really, really want to pet him, but Harry will have none of that. He hates people. * That's my dog's name. Harry. We named him that because he's hairy. We're really good at naming stuff.
Well then what about right-of-way, do these same backwards parts of the world somehow give right-of-way to parked vehicles over moving ones?
If you have to explain what your like is for, don't click the button. Sympathy likes and whatnot are extremely obvious. You don't need to announce it to the world.
Fucking fuck. I've just lost all my progress on all the CoH campaigns because Steam decided to mercilessly fist itself into a seizure of errors and then overwrite my local files, force me to log back in to Relic's own idiotic online service and then prompt me to INSERT THE GODDAMN DISC when I try to launch the game. FROM STEAM. I must have missed Valve's package when they mailed me a fucking CD. FUCK.
Ridiculously simple tricks. Easy tricks. One weird trick. It's kind of an advertising meme that I've been seeing a lot in shitty banner ads for a while and they're all pretty much the same no matter the product. "Language teachers hate him! One weird trick to learn any language in a day!" "Millions of homeowners are saving thousands with this one ridiculously simple trick!" "Plastic surgeons hate this mom who found one easy trick for a trim tummy!" There is no one easy trick. I get that by calling it 'weird' you make it seem like it's just something no one ever thought of, but it's simple and anyone can do it, but Jesus, stop! When I see the same advertising patter applied to mortgage rates, car insurance and dick pills, maybe it's going too far. Or fuck, maybe it works? "Ad execs hate him! One weird trick to getting people to buy your stupid-ass scam!"
...wait, it's a meme? I thought those were all just reskinned versions of the same company's advertising, directing people to some sort of stupid The Secret type of positive thinking "trick". I mean, I never clicked through to find out, but they were so obnoxiously cheap and similar, I thought it was all the same people.
This is my nerd rage today. Wegmans is tooting their own horn about how they made this cool new app for your smartphone that make the shopping list better, but it is actually worse. I got annoyed enough to take screenshots to show them why their mobile website is better than the app, hopefully it's obvious: (Left is mobile website, right is the app.)
The only big difference I see is that the left side doesn't feature pictures, so more list items fit on the screen at once. Is that the problem you're mad about? Or is it that it switches to 3G?
Depends whether you can edit quantity on the app as well. Not sure why're ordering stuff by that code though, how is that helpful to anyone? At least translate it to a category name so it has meaning.
I totally get Athryn on this one -- displaying three items on a screen is not a super-useful way to help me manage my grocery list.* * I just use Evernote anyway, because every grocery app I've ever seen tries to do way, way too much when really I just want to not get home from the store and realize "ah fuck, fucking rice goddammit."
Dunno if this is nerdrage or just regular rage, but: People who not only don't accept advice like "hey, you can put shortcuts on your quick toolbar/ribbon in Outlook now, here's how" but are aggressively anti-change to the point that "well I do it this way (i.e. dig through three sub-menus for an action they perform 30 times a day) and it's good enough for me." raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh why do i try to help you why
Why did Heath Zenith redesign their motion detectors for floodlights so that it's impossible to point it straight forward? Plus, why do most floodlights place the motion detector in a manner that it's partially blocked by the bulbs? I am going to Lowe's to see if I can fashion a longer mount out of PVC that brings the motion detector down about 6 inches and angles it so that it can point forward instead of down at an angle. Jeez.
The codes are the aisle numbers in the grocery store. When I'm shopping, I care about two things -- how much of something I am buying and where it is. I don't need to see a picture (and you can't turn the pictures off in the app) and showing less stuff on the screen means I have to scroll more, and I like being able to see more at a glance. The left screen gives me more info at a glance. I think what happens sometimes with app developers is they need to justify making an app more than just a wrapper for the mobile web page, so they add a bunch of unnecessary bullshit to justify their payday, like menus that take up 1/3 of the screen and such. I should note that I'm a person who plans all the dinners for the week in advance and who makes one shopping trip a week, so I like to be as efficient about it, and not waste too much time in the store.
I've gotta say, using my phone for my shopping list annoys the hell out of me, because I have to hold on to it the whole time. Cheap pen and paper I can leave sitting on the child seat in the cart. Phone, not so much. People steal phones and purses ALL THE TIME from shopping carts. Sometimes I'll write mine down on the phone in Evernote and then print it out on paper before I go to the store, but I almost never just shop off my phone.
man wtf people ShoppingList on my phone is awesome. You basically have to put the database together yourself and unlike Athryn's thing it's not store specific so it doesn't necessarily track your aisles or prices, but I put in everything I want and then it gives me a neat list of all the stuff I put in separated by the category. So if I'm in the produce section I know all of the produce I want to get. If I'm in the dairy section, I've got my list. I pick something up and I tap it and it scratches out and moves to the bottom of the list, creating a section for stuff I just got. And unlike a notebook and a pen, I always have my phone with me. And I donno why I'd ever set my phone down in a shopping card. I have pockets! In fact, I almost exclusively wear shirts with a breast pocket. When I shop, my phone goes there. It's great. Notebooks can go to hell. ALL OF THEM! HAHAHAHAHA!
I have never yet found a comfortable way to carry my phone in a pocket, unless it's jacket season (six weeks of the year!) and I wear the right jacket. It is tragic.
Bullshit. Does that tell me what aisle shit is in without me having to remember, particularly if the store changes their layout? No, it doesn't. Pen and paper belong with the horse and wagon, Grandpa. :) Shopping in our household is a two person affair, with a driver and a navigator/grabber. Like Bahimiron, I always have my phone in my hand, or it goes into my pants pocket.
Did I miss the thread/post where you stated you are trying to scare away vandals or animals, or raccoons? (animal vandals -- just look at the masks they were!)
Nah, but we've had a couple of car break-ins, and that light shines on the driveway. Fucking raccoons and their crack problem...
