BioEnchanted posted:Also most calorie indicators aren't speaking in actual calories but kilocalories, so that might be skewing things. At least I think that's the case. Food calories or "large calories" got retroactively renamed to kilocalories in like 1900 but not everyone was on the same page and the actual 1/1000 small calories were replaced by joules so now kilocalorie = calorie.

Sitting in the airport seeing 2 ladies take up 5 seats between themselves and and just thinking of all the public twiiter outrage about manspreading and "aggressive use of public space". Like I get if you're a lady by yourself, between COVID and weird dudes, i get wanting to put a buffer on place, but sitting in the middle of a 3 seat gap is a poo poo move no matter how you slice it.

There needs to be more spots in public that are just designated "stand here if you don't want to be in anyone's way" spots. Literally anyplace I stop moving for more than a moment, even if it's seemingly unrelated to desirable goods or services, I end up in someone's way. Why are they there? What are they doing? Doesn't matter, what matters is it's behind me. It even happens at home. Today my whole family was downstairs, and I go upstairs to get changed. I'm standing in front of the closet picking out a shirt, and my wife appears behind me. "I need to get the screwdriver in the basket in the closet." What the gently caress? Why is there a screwdriver in a basket in the closet? Why do you need it Now? Why when I'm here? What the gently caress  I just want to cease my endless dodging dance

I'm moving to a place with a fractional address and have discovered that an astounding number of sites handle them in really boneheaded ways. *Enters address* "Select a matching address from the list below" *Clicks on address that is character-for-character identical to what I just typed* "Addresses may only contain alphanumeric characters"  Even better is when characters silently get stripped out and they try to ship things to a non-existent five digit house number. Meanwhile, everyone that wants to send me junk mail catalogs figured out my new address on their own within a few days.

btw in the US there's a trick to getting taken off any mailing list: complain to the post office that the junk mail is making you too horny no, really, that's the law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibitory_Order It was originally just 'you can stop any mailers that are sexually suggestive', and the court ruled that due to the first amendment, the USPS cannot legally decide whether or not something SHOULD make you horny, and if you claim it they have to prohibit it.

The only explanation is the landlord immediately selling my personal info because nobody else could know at this point but I'm going to try that post office thing. I'm definitely never going to be buying a $4000 crossbow or a gyroplane. Edit: for clarity, junkmail in my name started within four days of me signing the lease, me trying to have bed frames and stuff shipped to the new address is the past couple of days.

Lol I currently live in an ADU/Mother in law unit that the owners started renting out and just kinda 'gave' it a X.5 address. I had to call up to get every single one of my utilities set up as the web forms insisted this address doesn't exist. And, it kinda doesn't yet I do have my own power drop and water meter thanks to years of them renting this place.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4EDhdAHrOg I understand that you want to vent about your roommate's new girlfriend not putting the seat down before flushing the toilet in the bathroom that you and only you actually put any effort into cleaning, and I'm here for you for that, but I don't want to keep hearing you vent about it for the entire length of their relationship because you can't even consider pointing out to her that you'd prefer she put the seat down before flushing since you're the one that cleans the bathroom. The person in question that isn't putting the seat down insists that visitors to her place immediately wash their hands on arriving, so this is clearly fair game as something to insist on. It's only gonna get weirder the longer it takes, like bring it up now before it comes out in a fight that only happens because you've been stewing on this the whole time when she's got no idea! gently caress this is frustrating as hell!

Do they have some kind of jet engine toilet that mists and/or sprays whatever's in there every time they flush? Also, how do they know what she does first? So many questions about this person's roommate's girlfriend's bathroom habits! My pet peeve: I've let my Kaspersky sub lapse for a variety of reasons and I've received at least 12 e-mails saying it's my last chance to save by renewing. It also seems like you can't unsubscribe from those e-mails because technically they're related to my billing so off to the spam folder they go.

God, I hate 'You're going to use this the way I designed and gently caress you for not wanting to' design. I just want a browser to go 'fullscreen' on android, without android's status bar, and without the address bar. Had to download an app and run a adb command to get a shortcut that can push chrome into immersive mode, which hides the status bar. But chrome's obnoxiously huge address bar still pops in the moment you start scrolling a bit upwards. Why is it that there's just no alternate options, advanced settings, etc for power users? Why can't I customize how the largest/most used browser works on android? I just want something like 'drag down while at top of screen to pull down address bar', or some kind of customization of the behavior. But even just a basic rear end fullscreen button would fix my issue, like how it is on pc. But no, the more developed and the more polished these apps get, the more they drop into the hole of 'a design group decided that this is how you're supposed to interact with it, and this is how it's going to be until we suddenly change it, and force you into the new system.' It's beyond baffling how you basically never get any choice, don't like the way to set the time in your clock app? gently caress off, install a different one if you want anything changed (Which then gets battery-optimized and doesn't fire off correctly when you need it.), etc etc.

They're perfectly happy with going 'we redesigned x, no you can't use it the old way anymore' which probably generates a bunch of support issues as well. Either way, it's just really goddamn frustrating.

When did people decide that apps should aggressively nag us to use them? I just deleted Duolingo because it popped up a notification that read "Duo says go!". gently caress you you UX designer piece of poo poo. I hope you are violently blinded and your caretaker aggressively nags you to poo poo in the toilet instead of on the floor. Putting me in the position of even making the decision to obey a picture of a cartoon owl gently caress you!!! Manager Hoyden has a new favorite as of 21:33 on Oct 17, 2022 |

Duolingo is an app you download because you want to learn something, and the best way to learn is to do a bit every day. Its entire purpose is to nag you so that you do the thing you have explicitly downloaded an app to do.

There are only two ways I read text when it uses numbers in place of words because they're homophones: it's either meant to be a cute old timey grandma thing or something exceptionally silly like 2FAST2FURIOUS. There's no legitimate middle ground, no neutral place where you can replace a word with a number and it not be assumed to be a joke or hyperbolic in some way. Like, for example, not that I think something called Cash For Gold sounds like a legitimate business, but Cash4Gold sounds like a credit card scam bot.

It feels like some grade A bullshit that alcohol-free beers and wines are
If it's going to cost me just as much and still make me fat, I'll stick with the standard kind because at least they also make me drunk. Come on, alcohol-free; you've got to bring something to the table.

Iron Crowned posted:Do any of them actually taste good? I find the beers are generally ok. The types of beers I particularly like aren't available alcohol-free so it's hard to make a fair comparison, but if I just want a cool drink on a hot afternoon, they'll do. Personally I'd take an alcohol-free beer over something like soft-drink or juice, because I don't generally care for sweet drinks. The fake spirits are terrible though, as you'd probably expect. When alcohol is such a major part of the flavour, there's really no way to do without it. So instead you just get perfumy water. I've only tried one alcohol-free wine and it was basically watered-down fruit juice. Don't know if the others are like that or if it was just a bad example.
