    I did some changes on my yahoo account to hopefully make it more secure .

    I put some sun dried baby shrimp into my aquarium and both Summers and Loki are going crazy over it. Summers is doing the usual slurping the food.

    @LeatherGryphon I wish I had some kind of speaker system for the house. This would be great music to play while cleaning. 

    I have a pair of wireless headphones that I wear around the house, dishwashing, cooking etc.  Never have to worry about missing something said, don't have to keep pausing & restarting the show when I walk out of the room.

    Doesn't ring any bells, but that doesn't mean Farmer or Dickson didn't write it.

    Complaint (sort of): Since the new store was implamented there have been a lot fewer glitches that favor the customer and the few that happened have been corrected very quickly.

    Having a load of glitches with the store just now.. Searching for a particular item type check, base model for said item check, find about say 50 instances of that item type over 2 pages.. Click second page and instead of getting the second page I end up at page 1 of 24 pages.. Somehow the store seems to reset a search when changing pages..

    Maybe it was the fact my phone battery is low but I want to eat a snack. Don't want to eat it in my room. Oh well. My snack won't last forever.

    Complaint...

    I despise with all my heart the person or persons responsible for the goddamn Apple TV remote control... it's like the mechanism between the touchpad and the circuit board is possessed by the crack deranged spirit of a schizophrenic hamster in a malfunctioning demon bumper car... whatever you are trying to navigate to will end in an entirely different random roulette wheel conclusion... you can be right next to the thumbnail for the thing you want to chose and move your finger slightly to the right to get to it and the controller will act like you just did an Etch-A-Sketch drawing of the Mona Lisa, landing you on an entirely different page, area or dimension.
    In one of the Grand Theft Auto games there is a level or mission where your character gets drugged and you have to escape while losing control of your coordination and balance, so the controls start alternating between reversing and becoming sluggish while the screen starts glitching with trailing after-images and distorted sound, as your character flees for their life while being chased by rival bad guys...
    That's literally 96% better and easier to control than trying to pick a show using that damned Apple controller. 
    I really have to get an aftermarket replacement for that POC... something with a D-pad.

    Also... second complaint... "Server Error"...

    Gah...

  • 2nd Covid shot yesterday.  Sore and sleepy today, with not much of the sick feeling of the first one.  Otherwise feeling fine.  The first shot was more of an event than this one.  Back to work in the morning!

    So I want to shop for a new printer.  On one hand, I want to get a crazy-gorgeous photo printer.  On the other hand, I just need something to print labels and instruction manuals.  The former is closer to $1,000, and the latter is more like $200 and ALSO will typically include a built-in scanner.

    But with Covid, we're living in a technology desert, with the occasional oasis of new stuff from this or that manufacturer...but most of the time we are still choosing from amongst a pool of products that are 3-5 year old technology.  There's very little "new" out there.

    My struggle is that most inkjet printers need to be used often, or the print heads will dry out.

    I like the remote than came with my TiVo streaming device. Not in my room at the moment but can post a picture of it later.

    No, I didn't bring my remote out to the patio. Yes, I'm sitting in a chair at my back patio.

    Right now using the back patio to work on writing my story.

    my photos won't upload complaint.

  • MistaraMistara Posts: 38,675

    is it still tuesday or is it tuesday again?

    started watching big bang theory from the beginning.  that should keep me out of the store a couple weeks

  • Sfariah DSfariah D Posts: 26,220
    Trying to see if I can upload a picture of my TiVo remote.

    My new big complaint is that crypto miners are now going after HDD and SSD drive storage, due to some new type of crypto currency.. If trying to get a new GPU/CPU is bad enough now it is this.. :(

    I just heard something about this yesterday, but it seems even crazier than regular cryptocurrency.

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,023

    ...the Chia Crypotocurrency is the culprit., and is supposedly an "eco friendly " crypto that uses Proof of Space (Pos) instead of Proof of work (PoW).  OK need to get that M.2 SSD before it's gone and the price goes ballistic.

    whats the difference between 'your highness' and 'your majesty'?
    what the proper way to address emperor of the realm?

     

    why don't people understand microwave food is disgusting.  my upstairs neighbor trying to tell me her microwave omelette is deliious.  i was like, if thats true she's cooking wrong.  is it too late to convince people to give up the microwaves and throw them all out?  it only takes a few minutes to put some food in a pan and stir until it's hot.  its not instant gratification but it only takes a few minutes.  i put a frozen mac n cheese in th pan, cook with the lid on, its done in less than 10 minutes.  cheese from the microwave is soo disgusting.  and these days cheese comes pre-shredded.  The decline of civilization started with the microwave.  you cant feel a sense of well  being when the food is disgusting.  theres no family conversations over meals, is just beeps.

    Each is a honorific form of respectful formal address to an aristocrat of noble rank, but “Your Majesty” is the higher form used to address a ruling monarch, whereas “Your Highnessis the form of address for a noble lower in rank than a king or queen, such as Prince or a Royal Duke.    An Emperor is addressed as  Your Imperial Majesty.

     

    And BTW  food from a microwave is as good or bad as the person preparing it makes it,  in exactly the same way as food prepared on the hob is reliant on the skill of the cook.

    Regarding this bitcoin et al. situation...   At one time in this country (long ago) each bank made its own money.  Massive confusion.  Laws were passed to eliminate the confusion and settle on one currency controlled by the government.  Can't anybody see this same situation brewing, but on a global scale?  If I were in the alternate money game, I'd be preparing to cash out.indecision

    Several hundred years ago in Holland, tulip bulbs of an ever increasing number of types became the bitcoin, et al. of the day, the whole thing spiraled out of control.  Massive confusion.  Lot of financial ruin.  Can't anyone see the parallels?  

    Hmmm... this bomb I'm playing with seems harmless enough, I'll just ignore the ticking...surprise

    Complaint:   Arghhh...  again my hopes are dashed.  I woke up this morning, had my breakfast and checked my list of catalogs for an available RTX 3060.  OMG I found one, at NewEgg, for $479, sold by NewEgg, shipped by NewEgg.yes  To be backordered but they expect a shipment on 4/29/21.  Yay... Wheee... So I press the "BACK ORDER" button and I get "Oops... something seems to have gone wrong on our end.  Try again later.)  So, I try again, and again, and again, and ,,, and,,, later, later, later... crying

    Non-complaint:  At least I was permitted to put it on my "Wishlist"yes, along with 67 other people at the time.frown
