start a victory garden and ration your IRRATIONALLY ANGRY feelings, part 3

I only use yahoo mail for anything I need to make an account for/get discounts etc but yeah it's shit, can't get the search to work for emails older than a few months. Sure it's a bug but no way to fix.

I was under the impression Yahoo's mail was barely even supported anymore.

that's my impression too when I tried to find a fix...
it's a piece of shit but I like having a totally separate mail account

there's a sign at work pointing out how to get to a specific wing on the 2nd floor. the sign points you to go around and to the right, and cutting back in left after walking a distance.

however, if you ignore the sign and just walk straight back, the wing is right there. the directions the sign gives take twicea s long to get there. why the hell do they make you go all the way around when it's just straight back?

Job creation or social darwinism?

Is that the cheese wing?

sign on left-hand-side shop door:

USE THIS DOOR

Fandango gives you the option of mobile tickets. Says take to ticket taker.

I get there and show to ticket taker and he goes "nope you gotta go to guest services".

So I wait in that line...get the tickets...have to wait in original line again. People that printed their tickets waited half the time I did.

FB friends who have their FB profiles set to public, so that when you post on their walls or comment on their threads, you get your own friends who are not their mutual friends responding/commenting/liking.

a friend of mine posted on her wall about Obama's executive action on gun laws, and a couple people posted "about time!" or something, then either one of the commenters' friends or a friend of someone who "liked" it (and not a friend of MY friend) went on a long rant about the "secret muslim president" and how "you are all no different from nazis prazing (sic) hitler and hitler junior is going to" etc etc etc. like, why would you even do that?

either performance art/irony, they really believe it, or in-between ("just sayin'")

Not that distant from a Moe Tucker feed really. Sad to say.

That is to say that Moe Tucker's facebook feed seems to consist largely of similar commentary. Very sad to see the drummer of one of my favourite bands come out with such endless garbage. & it does seem to be several different similar posts per day.

Why follow her then?

Just haven't got to the point where I've unfollowed her.
Why friend her? VU & late 80s solo stuff.
& it can be interesting to see what the Tea Party have managed to convince themselves.

Windows 10 has a new surprise. Going to blackscreen after you sign into your computer account.
Appears that the computer misrecognises the location of the desktop display as though you have 2 monitors so sends the image to the wrong place. Makes it look like your computer hasn't booted.

No, the fact that your grandmother was born in Dublin doesn't make you Irish

Should have licences for driving prams innit?
Hate walking down narrow pavements, trying to work my way through a crowd only to find my path is blocked by somebody picking that moment to spin their pram around.

THen walking to a building I have an appointment in only to find out that somebody with a double buggy has parked it right across teh doorway.

Maybe pram clamp/boot things wouldn't be amiss either.

i get why certain things of high, urgent importance or things that can be misconstrued if not spoken out loud shouldn't be handled through email, but some people actually seem to actually take offense that you send them an email requesting something of them at all. like....if we can't do that, why have it at all? one thing if you're sending 35 emails for everything and causing inboxes to fill, another when you know you send one every two weeks.

since this is the irrational thread: I dunno why it winds me up so much that my coworker is so cheap (brings his own bottle of tap water to team pub lunches; never puts money into anyone's leaving collection; charges his iPad and Kindle at work even though he doesn't use either at work, or on the commute since he drives) while always having the latest gadget, new electric car, new designer watches and trainers every few months

I mean it's none of my business and I guess people who do that stuff would tell me that if I didn't piss away a few quid on little things every day then I too could save up for the latest flashy whatevers. they may even be right, I'd rather not add it up tbh

I'm I'm a bar with friends. It's 50 degrees outside, the door is open...the electric fans are on full blast and they won't turn them off.

Centigrade or Fahrenheit?

Kelvin

In all seriousness Fahrenheit

bring those fans here it's 105 right now and we don't have aircon

Yeah, I realised that 50c doesn't make sense. But I'd just read a Facebook post that was moaning about it being minus 2 and again not mentioning the scale. Annoys me, perhaps irrationally.

As does the ilb winter thread, so northern hemisphere-ist

i am so northern hemispherist that i didn't know that you guys actually call these months summer? do you? i thought you just had a hot winter

i guess that's stupid. maybe i didn't think that. i just never thought about it at all.

They eat seafood on Christmas Day and don't shoot fireworks for the Fourth of July. Southern Hemispherists are weird.

Most Yanks don't specify F or C cos we boldly assume everyone uses F. And our backwards units of measure

Fahrenheit makes no sense to me.

and your stupid dates. xp.

People who, in crowded public spaces, realize that they're walking in the direction opposite of the one they intend and thusly perform a quick 180 to rectify the problem. As with people who stop at the bottom of escalators and just outside of revolving doors, YOU CANNOT DO THIS. REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO AREN'T YOU.

Fahrenheit makes no sense to anyone.

I prefer it because you get more numbers.

when people do this in an airport I'll p much flatten them

People who swing their arms out to the side when they walk.

Vapers. Just because it's allegedly safer and legal in public spaces doesn't mean you get to blow a fucking cloud in my face.

the interminable sequence of noises emitting from this 8 year old inkjet printer after every print job

yeah mine calibrates & cleans more than it prints now >:(

Bodywarmers.

lol I must admit to having wondered this myself at times A LONG TIME AGO

I love this.

Wet hot antipodean winter.

just boring whining, but fn bluetooth drives me up a wall, usually works fine, but often you have to 'remove device' then 'discover device' then it says connected but it's not, etc, barely worth the trouble imo

99.9% of technology belongs in the trash (sez dude who seemingly can't go five minutes without technology).

Men in sandals. You're not 3 any more!
