Mildly Infuriating

You have become the very thing you swore to destroy

I happen to recall that in this scene, she's speaking nonsense Italian words (she doesn't actually know Italian) but the first time they show it (and the viewer doesn't know she can't speak Italian) they show Speaking in Italy... and later when they're showing that she's saying words, but they're nonsense, it still says 'Speaking in Italy'!

This is not a big deal but it is entirely wrong. Why do I care so much about this?!

(The close caption is wrong in a lot of places on this copy of The IT Crowd, but that's the most ridiculous.)

Edit: Later in the episode they show a speakerphone, on which, an Italian man is speaking. The caption for this? "Voicemail in Italy." What!

I thought I had finally found a healthy drink I liked with no artificial sweetness and they had to go and fuck it up

So the Federal Communications Commission, FCC, announced it's investigating Comcast for having a diversity program. And this white guy I work with went on a long rant about how promoting minorities in the workplace amounts to discrimination against white people. Can't even believe people like this are employed at Comcast. Tempted to report him to HR 😂

I suppose i m self centered and unstable just because i don’t like to party late nights with the popular kids and a bitch overall

I have an older Canon MG6320 ink jet printer with a touch interface.

Lately, my cats have decided sitting on the printer (one at a time) is a good idea. I'm fine with this -- it keeps them off the desk, and they're not going to break the printer. Even if they do, well, then I get to justify getting a new printer to my partner.

Anyway, when they get on the printer, invariably they step on the power "button", which means I have to hit the power button to undo what they did:

• Turning on the printer takes rougly 1-2 seconds, and results in a short beep.
• Turning it off, even right after it was turned on, takes roughly 60 seconds, with the printer clicking and clacking and whirring and making all sorts of noises that attract cats.

I've taken to unplugging it when I don't need it.

I hate printers.

These are some of the charges filed against Phillip Koons.

The stories I’ve heard are making kids run outside naked, and showing off his dick to show the children “what a real man looks like.” A lot worse, but that tends to stay on private Facebook pages and doesn’t typically get investigated.

The Oklahoma Coaches Hall of Fame considers him a man worth honoring however.

They do have their phone numbers publicly listed if you’d like to share your opinion about this.

A recent Youtube Web update has added a canvas whenever the seek bar is visible, an HTML5 canvas pops up. This was not asked for and not needed. If you disable canvases for privacy, this will cause a horrific red bad to cover half the screen until you hide the seekbar. Canvases can be used for fingerprinting, which I'm sure Google is doing here.

In the past 24 hours, I've gotten three calls from mortgage companies looking for my ex-wife. I was pretty sure that she wouldn't put my phone number on her applications, so I asked the last guy who called how he got my number. He explained that they watch EVERYBODY'S credit, and when a mortgage inquiry pops up on anyone's report, they call every number that's ever been associated with that person, just so they can try to snatch the business from the company that ran the inquiry.

One of the callers, after being told I was not my ex, proceeded to read off her birthday and ask if that's when I was born. "No, but thanks for sharing her private information without permission."

If anybody was thinking about using Rocket Mortgage, I would recommend that you don't. If they are this shady on cold calling, I wouldn't trust anything else they do.

Airfare $19.86 surely way below fuel cost. Who even came up with this system?

Power company recently outsourced their payment system and now have to pay a fuckin' fee to pay my goddamned bill. The only way to avoid that is autopay.

Further infuriating is I have to re-add my bank info to yet another third party system.

Fuck the modern world, man.

I made a music playlist awhile back. This morning YouTube showed a message saying "1 unavailable video hidden." You can un-hide hidden videos, which I did. Can you tell from the picture which of these three videos is no longer available*?

YouTube won't tell you which of the videos in your playlist is no longer available. Got-damn.

*It's the Tom Petty video, btw.

Edit: their windshield was completely iced over.

So the code hosting site Codeberg has been experiencing attacks by far right organizations for a bit now. Recently, the attacks escalated when someone created a repo and then mentioned a bunch of usernames in bulk. The result was that people includong myself received email notifications containing hate speech.

Codeberg did apologize but it really isn't their fault https://blog.codeberg.org/we-stay-strong-against-hate-and-hatred.html

So instead of my usual tube of store-brand I grabbed a tube of Pringles because they had fancy limited edition flavours.

They put the flavour on the wrong side of the crisps. If you put them, as is proper, into your mouth so that they actually fit, right-out embracing your tongue, the spice is on the top side. I don't have taste buds in the roof of my mouth. How can this kind of blatant incompetence exist in the world?

Also I would have expected more heat from something called "Thai Green Curry" but that's a whole another topic.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

My car is stuck at the dealership waiting for a part since November. I'm now sitting in their waiting room waiting for them to service their own car that they are lending me.
