I don’t follow this thread so forgive me if this has been covered, but aren’t the home teams always on the bottom?  I’ve noticed recently that google’s team listings now for matchups are not following this rule all the time and it fucking annoys me.  or is this not a rule and I’ve been imagining it my whole life?

a guy i worked with a few years ago (who my wife even remembers because he was a PM who would always fucking call me out of the blue and I complained about him a lot) is hitting me up on linkedin wanting to connect on the phone. "Hey man, have a few minutes to explain what you're up to over at <insert celery man employer>." I'm not going to not give this guy half an hour of time because.... whatever, it is good to stay connected to people and maybe someday etc. But I am 99% positive this guy has some kind of pitch for me and I wish he'd just fucking give it so I could say nah dude stay well

Absolutely. It should be Team A AT Team B. That’s the convention. Always has been. Freaking Google nerds.

My asshole BIL that moved to Kentucky 13 months ago and insists we call Louisville “Loo a vll”. I keep telling him it’s named after King Louis, not Loua. BTW he’s super proud to tell me about his wife and her fake ass Louis Vuittan purses she’s into selling at the flea market, so I know it’s not some speech impediment he’s suddenly picked up.

Loo-a-vul

Today is Chinese New Year’s Eve. I ordered a Peking duck this afternoon for pickup at 5:15. We got here at 5:30 and they say it won’t be ready until 6:00. It’s a madhouse.

Rookie mistake. I should have ordered it ASAP, picked it up and reheated it. 

Order it a day ahead.

The fickleness of power charging over USB makes me more than surly. 

I’ve had every piece of that ecosystem fail, from the wall charger to usb hub to usb cable to usb adapters to just the device itself (eg laptop) fail to charge or charge adequately.

Latest episode is buying a new computer monitor, and I specifically paid more money on a higher-end monitor (Samsung Viewfinity S8) to get USB-C passthrough charging and USB-A connectivity to reduce the rats nest on my desktop. 

The charging that is rated at 90W, the shit work Dell only detects as 65W; and the other USB-A port requires that the monitor be on (why? its permanently connected to the wall), or sometimes dont work at all. 

Fuck it all.

very annoyed when the replacement monitor dell sent me cut off the power to its USB hub when i turned the monitor off.  external hard drives?  off.  usb sound card?  off. 

is your work dell's regular power supply 90W?  if the brick is only 65W (common) i can see why it'd only draw 65 from USB.  that's what it's handshaking for. doesn't matter that the charger is capable of 4.5A when it's only being asked for 3.25A, which is how this works.

The dell (“mobile workstation”) has a 180w brick. On boot the BIOS warns that the detected source is only 65w and “may not charge”. 

Batexpert software shows input wattage fluctuating from zero up to 30w or so.  

Macbook Air with low power demand shows the same thing. Would be good if it could atleast provide a *steady power* while the laptop charging, as if using the OEM charger.

Money the govt “needs” for something.

Why do you hate kids so much that you wouldn’t spend $1.50 to keep them safe?
Obligatory..Fuck Them Kids!

Probably because whatever lie was told to justify the fund will never actually work. And definitely won't see the majority of the money.

Also any vehicles fees should go towards transportation needs only. The roads in Harris county are bad.

If you want to save them lil bastards put it on my sales tax.8c530322469bef9a1f168c8f5056bdbc.jpg

Filling out forms for a new Physician: No editable PDF. Must print and fill out.

Me: Slightly surly.

Spaces on the form are too small to give them the information they are asking for.

Me: Very surly.

I had an allergist appointment recently. I filled out the health history form in full before the appointment.

The nurse then proceeds to go line by line with me on the health history form confirming my answers and asking follow up questions.

What the fuck are we doing here?

Yep. I don't even unsubscribe anymore with even their button. Also, Gmail when you flag something as spam, asks if you also want to unsubscribe. No, I'll pass. I think when you pick that option, they send an automated email. I don't mind my spam folder piling up. I'll check every so often to make sure nothing important is there.

Same as the Robo calls. I used to answer too often and they kept happening more and more. Even picking up and hanging but that also shows you are active. I stopped answering any number I'm not familiar with. Robocalls never leave a voicemail. Businesses usually will who need to get a hold of you.

The people who drive around on trash day picking up thrown out items.

My neighbor and I have a paved section between our driveways, inside sidewalk, for a nice 8x8. It’s perfect, with a bench, two tables, a foot rest and two chairs. We, and other neighbors use it as a gathering place to catch up and enjoy our libations.

Anyhow, came out trash day morning and those chairs, one table and foot rest are gone. Been there for almost 10 years. Fuck you, trashy ass people!

I thought you were supposed to use the alley for that.

$1.50 child safety fund fee on my vehicle registration. What the hell is this? And why is it on vehicle registrations?

"Our records show you recently started a vehicle registration renewal but did not submit it. To complete a renewal on TxT, you'll need to return in 24 hours and start a new one."

 

who the fuck designed this dumb ass shit?  every other web service if i have to step away for a bit i can come back right where i left off.

local news stations...constant "STAY HOME>>STAY OFF THE ROADS!" 

and they have a mobile unit driving around the city telling us how bad it is outside

They don't want their mobile unit to run into traffic or some dumbass Karen who skids through a red light and plows into their van because she had to check Facebook/Pinterest?

The spring-loaded displays in the cold and cough remedy section at HEB.  The springs are so tight that once the leading package of say Zyrtec is removed from the display the following package launches forward and hops the display curb and onto the floor.  
 

Maybe they could back off the tension a piece?

You’re lucky it’s not behind glass. Yet.
