Joey Freshwater posted:I thought about getting one in case a package got stolen off my porch but the police would 100% not give a gently caress anyway so I haven’t. Yeah, that seems about right especially for the cops around here. Apparently having a methhead threaten me and try to steal my phone is a "civil matter" even though I got the whole thing on video.

What's supposed to fall under the purview of the police, huh? Illicit drug use? Threatening with a weapon? Intent to maim? Theft? How about you take care of somethin' yourself for once instead!

I have recordings from multiple instances of people walking around my house at night, holding knives, banging on the windows and yelling racial slurs, and the response from the police was "we don't get involved in those situations" and acting like they thought I staged it all. But it sometimes gets pics of cool birds.

You have all day (and night) to put the dishes away, why must you do them while I'm trying to make my coffee? Maybe she's lonely.

Fingerprint sensors are great when they work, but so often I end up trying, trying, trying and then having to put a PIN in anyway that it feels like it's just not worth the bother.

I use an iPad to record data in the field at work, I like to turn the screen off between entering data to conserve battery since it needs to last as long as a 14 hour shift with maybe a quick charge at lunch, and it annoys me to carry a power bank in the pocket of my high vis vest. The locked down ipads used to allow you to set them to only require the passcode after the screen was off for 5 minutes. Then corporate IT, in their infinite wisdom, changed it to a maximum of 1 minute. Recently, it was changed to require the passcode every time the screen is turned off. Any appeals to change this are met with the typical helpfulness of tier one helpdesk workers who's hands are totally tied, and I don't have any pull with folks higher up the chain so I'm hosed. I set a fingerprint lock on it, but the reliability is so spotty through the case and dust and other crap that it's just faster to key in the code than try my fingertip three times.

Sinks that are too shallow to properly wash your hands in so you keep touching the basin because there isn’t enough clearance under the faucet. Why is this a thing?I know I’ve complained about this before but it keeps happening

A pet peeve I didn't have until now. When people same something like: "sameeeeeeee" or "niceeeeeeeeeeee" they actually mean "saaaaaaaaaaame" or "niiiiiiiiiiiice" I've been seeing lately people elongating the ultimate vowel in diphthongs* but I wasn't sure what it meant. Maybe it's not new; it's new to me. I'm always a loving year behind. *by "lately people..." I mean: my friends on Facebook I guess

This happened to me once and then I finally remembered I'd never met them, they were an internet friend from ICQ days and I'd given them a form to interact with. I remembered this in the dream and was immediately on a computer after I did.

Brawnfire posted:My wife's "time estimates" Both me and my wife are the kind of people where "meet at 4" means "show up at 3:30" and I feel this is the key to our relationship. Good lord I cannot stand people who are always late. This was the worst part of life when I lived in Toulouse. You said 7, not me! Why did you take till 8:30?? You said meet at 7! Mediterranean fuckers. It's not cute. It's rude. Harumph.

Literally everything about this intersection. It looks like a nightmare, but the map doesn't even do it justice. However bad you think it is trying to get from anywhere on this intersection to anywhere else, it's worse. Because the map doesn't show the traffic lights, which are guaranteed to stop you because they do not synchronise in any direction and frequently stop all traffic in certain stretches (all directions, including trams and pedestrians) for no clear reason. And that, of course, also means that pedestrians don't wait for the lights to cross, which obviously doesn't help.

Gosh I hadn’t thought of that! I need the sounds on because I’ve already got the notifications off and I need something to push me to go look or I won’t or I’ll forget. It’s also literally this one person that does it and I’m not turning sounds off on everything because of how they message. Otherwise it’s just fine. And yes I’ve spoken with them about it but they continue to do it. They do it in texts too.

I've just had to explain to a sweet old relative that he can't have his television outside of his house without unlimited, because it's cheaper than going for 100gb, but that if he gave that up then he could cut his bill to about £11 and he said "but then I'd lose me WhatsApp for me shooting (clays) group" I said he wouldn't and then he sadly explained that a fellow old guy keeps sharing inappropriate dirty videos with the group which auto download and fill up his phone and they can't kick him because he books the events. So at least it's not that
