MLB. They don't use ticketmaster. Ticketmaster must be the only direct ticket vendor that has something like that. The venues I go to are usually ticketed by AXS and their site is dogshit.

RE: Brake Flashing

On motorcycles, you are taught to flash the brakes because the human eye is drawn to a flashing light more quickly than a solid one



Replace "brake" with "break" as you see fit

I don't mean tapping it with the speed like the blinkers on your car, I mean pressing the brake pedal for like 10 sec then releasing it for a second then pressing it again and braking normally. There's a ton of snow and rain and lovely roads here, also my car is lovely and my old car was too, so it's necessary unless I want my brakes to lock up. So it becomes a habit so I do it even if it's nice out.

Yeah, I was talking about the former. That's why I said it looked like he had his hazards on but they looked like they were having a stroke. This is also California and it was not an old lovely car. Hell I drive an old car with no ABS and I manage to brake like a normal person.

A few weeks ago I was trying to explain a new piece of software to a co-worker. She turned the caps lock key on by accident (it put an icon on her screen) when typing her password. Rather than turn the caps lock key off before retyping her password, she simply held the shift key the entire time. Given how quickly she adjusted, I suspect this must be a common occurrence for her.

Use SharpKeys or similar to disable caps lock or remap it to function as another ctrl or shift key. After all, how many times in your life have you pressed caps lock intentionally? Probably zero.

Oh! Eat poo poo adblock for youtube?! Yes, eat all of the poo poo. I thought I had some goddamn malware or virus or some poo poo injecting loving lnk.rus redirects into various urls and things I clicked, but no. It's gently caress you, you garbage rear end extension. The gently caress is this poo poo? Who the gently caress asked you to do that? Eat rear end, all of an rear end, cram all that rear end into your chuckhole. You know how many scans and poo poo I had to sit through to clean out my laptop?? I even reinstalled loving chrome.

gently caress.

So hey by the way if you see your url bar briefly turn into lnkr.us, it's not tumblr's new redirect prgram or a malware thing. It's an extension.

I don't know if there's a good/similar replacement for adblock for youtube, sorry.

Restaurants/etc with only one toilet in the mens washrooms. I suffer from not-quite-IBS at random times, and that mean that if Bad Things start to go down, I'm gonna have to sit there for a while, which means I'm hogging the toilet for anyone else.

I'm particularly cognizant of it, because I've regularly been the dude waiting for someone to get done, and it's unpleasant as hell.

poo poo in the urinal as a means of protest. Alternatively ignore the shame and talk to a member of staff about your predicament and beg to be allowed to poo poo elsewhere, like if they don't want to let you into the women's restroom maybe there's a staff toilet you could use.

gently caress certain kinds of gendered bathrooms in general. At work, it's like, I think we can all deal with using the same toilet. Don't get fussy when I come out of the one-holer arbitrarily marked as male. There's not even a urinal in there.

At bars and pubs, I really feel like it should be a free for all. I don't care if it means people potentially are boning in stalls. Nothing worse than waiting for drunk ladies to fuss around in there, although I appreciate the efficiency of 2-3 girl friends going in the stall together. Most guys are just having a piss, so make a smaller urinal only room and open up the stalls for all.

I was once dragged to a concert in a big arena and during intermission they had a uniformed old broad stationed in there to yell at us and knock on doors if we took to long. I loved it. When I retire that's what I want to do because seriously, what are most of you doing in there? Shits and pads and tampons, unless something is going haywire, shouldn't add that much to your time. I pooped once and changed my deal record time three minutes.

IIRC it got bought out by someone willing to let advertisers pay to not get blocked. So the original dev made uBlock and then that got bought out or compromised or something so he made uBlock Origin. From what I've heard, anyway.

Yknow what I don't like? How the front third of any Walmart smells like Subway. I don't know if it's the same everywhere, but around here, they put a Subway right there in front of the check stands. From day one, even the "nice" (i.e. new and clean) Walmart has the overpoweringly artificial stench of hyper-concentrated hydroxyfreshbreadoline or whatever godawful chemical cocktail they pump into the HVAC to make it smell like that. Can't stand that poo poo.

It's supposed to be the smell of fresh bread baking, but they isolated most of the component chemicals of actual bread in the lab and now they probably synthesize it by the tankerful and pump it into the air ducts. I am now reading an article in which their chief of bread operations or whatever swears they don't pipe it in, but it's just too consistent and fake-smelling to be genuine.

Why is Windows still such a goddamn pain in the arse about updates? Every program wants to interrupt me to install updates and half of them still want me to restart my computer when they're done. And half of them don't even have self-updaters, you have to go to a website and download an install file. How is any of this still a thing?

I run Linux Mint on my main computer. All updates handled by one central update program. Nothing gets interrupted, you don't even have to close the program that's being updated. Never need to restart. What the gently caress is wrong with Windows?

They definitely don't pipe it in, but don't assume that the bread smelling like that is an accident. The joint is supposed to scream "we bake fresh bread all day every fuckin' day!" to the customers, and smelling like freshly-baked bread is just a part of that. Ever wonder why the ovens and proofers are up front, right behind the counter, rather than off in the back somewhere? It's so the customer can see and smell fresh bread. It's a big part of the image they're going for.

I dropped it last year when I noticed ads start seeping in and YouTube started playing ads mid-video.

So far, uBlock hasn't pulled any shenanigans, but I won't be surprised when the same thing happens soon and I have to switch to uBlock Origin. Which I will have to delete in a few months when it gets bought out or stolen, and install the next thing.

I installed a printer today on Windows 10. You still can't re-size the window when selecting a driver so you only see 4 or 5 of them, have fun scrolling. If your driver isn't there, the online Update takes about 15 minutes to load every loving driver it knows. There is no search or select function.
Seriously, just let me type in something like "HP 1320" at least and only show and download drivers containing that. That's not hard.

Subways do not smell like bread though. Bakeries smell fantastic. Even the bread section of a supermarket smells better than a Subway. Subway smells weird.

I live near a couple bakeries and can tell anyone for a fact that Subway's "bread smell" is NOT fresh bread smell. Maybe they accidentally isolated the compounds for yeasty, stale bread not fit for croutons.
