The Costco brand bacon is pretty good imo. It's thick and not overly fatty. Bacon is just another thing that sucks now and you have to spend a lot more to get something decent.

I caved and got YouTube Premium. I could probably figure out how to re-block the ads, but I do always complain that the internet/world has moved in the direction of paying for everything with advertisements and stealing personal information. Surely now that I pay for Youtube that will stop and they won't just decide to do those on top of collecting a fee. Also they actually just gave me a 2 month free trial so I haven't really paid for anything.

I've already found how to quickly get around that but man I would be willing to pay for the old youtube lite or whatever they called it. From what i remember it was just no ads. You didn't get the music and you didn't get some other features but it was only like 6 bucks a month. I'm willing to pay for convenience but their prices are absurd and I heard the old VPN trick doesn't work anymore. I'm not gonna give these assholes a god damned red cent.

Yeah at least put off paying for the subscription. There’s probably a metric that says you caved an hour after we started blocking ads and it’ll only encourage them. Then again, I don’t even know why they’re being this coy about it. Drop the hammer, ain’t nobody can stop you.

At this point--and no judgement on anyone else--I'd embarrassed to pay for a YouTube subscription. I'd feel (no judgement! This is just my personal feeling, and only about myself!) like a little bitch. edit: vvvv sure, I want to make clear, that I do not feel this way about nice van. Only that I'd feel like a dang sucker at this point to give Google even a dollar of my personal money, when a) they're an ad company and b) they play their services like a shell game. doctorfrog fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Oct 13, 2023 |

The bathrooms at work are your standard stall setups but there is exactly one bathroom in the building that's a single toilet and sink in their own room behind a locked door and obviously that's the one you want. Suddenly in the last few weeks someone has been getting to work before me in the morning and absolutely destroying that toilet. Complete disrespect. You don't even want to look at it let alone try to wipe it down and use it. Somehow this is happening every single day. This has completely ruined me. My morning routine is in shambles.

I used Outlook years ago for my current job and if it’s outlook for Mac, there was a legit error that would cause it to hide emails when searching for them. Wonder if they ever fixed it, probs not. While I find gmail to be a bit…I don’t know, persnickety at times, at least I can perform the most basic task without needing to download a fix.

That is exactly the reason why I never use the full single occupant restroom in our office. Every single day for the entire time I've worked here, I walk past and it has been subjected to nothing but the rankest shits you have ever smelled in your life. Give me the stalls any day of the week. That's where people go to do things they're only mildly ashamed of.

I've wondered if there are people that genuinely don't realize that you're supposed to sit down to poo poo. When I was a night shift janitor at a recreation center I'd encounter poo poo on walls all the way up to eye level. Not just once, like, at least monthly.

I can't. My gmail search is absolute trash. I thought I posted about it here but it was in a PYF thread, so here's my rant again: I tried to find my most recent electric bill , and this is what I got:  Because the first result (again, why it's the electric statement from July and not September, IDK) had the word "Burlington", I guess it figures I want to ALSO get results for that, so I get a generic email from the Burlington DPW about an issue with their online portal. And then another electric statement...from May. *Oh, maybe it's my fault for not typing out the whole word 'electric'? Ok, let's do that and see what we get:  Ok, we don't have that random DPW result anymore, and I get three electric statements, all of them being too old/not the most recent, and then two emails about my recent visits to an Urgent Care. I can assure you, nothing about my visits were related to "Electricity", and the urgent care is not in Burlington. Like...why in God's name are those in the search results at all?! If I add more filters it finds things better, (I did find it by setting the time filter to just a month) but why should I have to do that? The word "Electric" should really only give me emails with the word "electric" in them, and if I'm only using that one word in the global search, it should prioritize that word appearing in the subject line, and show them to me reverse chronologically/most recent first. Here's another example. I ordered some online art from a popular Marvel artist (at least for Marvel Snap), Dan Hipp. It hadn't arrived in a while (I did eventually get it) so I was looking for the order confirm. email to see if it had estimated dates or anything. Here's the result just searching for Hipp":  All I have is a shipment notice (And that's from Oct 6, I was originally searching before Oct 6 and so NO results came up.) So I did more poking and looking, and this is what I have to search for to find my original order confirmation email:  Has to be MRHIPP. Not just "Hipp". Again, that is a God-awful search algorithm if it can't find something from "MRHIPP" when I search for just "hipp." "Oh, DrBouvenstein you dumbass, you need a wildcard in there!"  Yeah, nope. Just as lovely. Doing some searching now and it seems Gmail doesn't use regex/wildcard operators, and doesn't do partial string match. It SEEMS it's always been this way, but I SWEAR I used to search for partial strings/"close enough" stuff and it found the emails I was looking for. Maybe I'm wrong? Either way, I can't begin to fathom why it's like this. A company initially built on how good it's web-search was has email searching worse than Outlook 98?

I think what people forget about Google’s rise to ubiquity wasn’t that their products were particularly great, it’s just that everyone else’s were so loving awful. IMO, a lot of their products (like Gmail) are coasting on inertia at this point.

i mean when their search was introduced it did tend to give better results because the method of ranking results based on how frequently they were referenced by other pages was a reasonable metric of being something you might want to look at but that was a long, long time ago

Dip Viscous posted:I've been buying bacon again after taking a break from it for a few years and none of the three brands I've tried have cleanly cut slices anymore. It looks normal in the package, but attempting to take some out results in it pulling apart into a stringy mess of shredded meat. The resulting tiny bits of cooked bacon still work for sandwiches, but WTF. Not to mention a small pack is like $9 now. Guess that's another grocery staple getting moved to the "special occasions only" list.

We’re leaving the age of unlimited conspicuous consumption. Which, for a lot of reasons, isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, there is the absurdity of media towing the line about how people aren’t consuming enough while also doing their best to hide inflation, record corporate profits, etc. The middle class will erode and there will only be bacon havers and bacon have-not-ers.
