  6. Scene: #CFL football game between the #Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the #Edmonton #Elks.
    Winnipeg has been dominant and is leading 16 - 0, with a little over three minutes remaining in the first half.
    After an incomplete pass on first down, quarterback Zach Collaros is facing 2nd down and 10 yards on his own side of the field.

    And #TSN's new #wunderkind colour commentator and ex-NFL player Luke Willson, who is damned annoying, comments:

    Luke Willson: ... If I'm Zach Collaros, I'm going to try to find a way to convert on second and long, and try to get the lead to three scores going into halftime.

    Me: Brilliant! What a strategy - get the first down and then try to score some points. How is it possible that no one has hired this man to coach his own team? Will Bombers coach Mike O'Shea figure out this brilliant plan on his own?

    Sheesh.

  7. "Movie anti-star": an actor whose presence in a movie is, on its own, sufficient to cause you to avoid ever seeing it.

    Adam Sandler
    Rob Schneider
    Kevin James
    About half of the Saturday Night Live cast that have ever done a feature film
    Pauly Shore
    Kevin Hart
    Macaulay Culkin

    Who would you add to the list?

    I note that my list above doesn't include any women (other than perhaps SNL alumni, but I can't think of a female from there that annoys me like the above). Are only men capable of being such annoying, simpering, mugging-for-the-camera wastes of screen time?

  8. Here I was last night, insistent on sitting outside the neighbour's house, after I snuck out while my human was sorting the bins. No snacks or treats worked for getting me back inside for the night so I stayed out to play while my human gave up and went to bed. After I had my fun, I cried and whinged outside the window at 4am to be let back in. Aren't I just a delight ✨

  9. Back to work after a week off. Time to dig out of the inbox, and catch up on everything I missed. Sometimes I think returning from PTO is the worst part. Not because I don't want to go to work (i really do enjoy what I do for a living) but because nothing actually stops while you're gone. Its probably worse for folks with more dependencies riding on them, but its still not great even at my level.

    But first, my Macbook has to give me grief. I use a dock, to connect to two external displays, and the laptop itself sits with its lid closed. I had the audacity to shut it down when I logged off on Friday before my PTO. This morning, not only is there no way to turn the dang thing on without pulling it out of the little shelf its in, but... That dock it spends 95% of its life connected to? The one that gives it all of its input and output... Yea, I have to allow it to connect, which means holding the laptop on my palm while i turn it on, wait for it to completely boot, login, and then plug it into the dock and click.. Allow, before I can use my keyboard, mouse, and displays. Seriously. I get it, malicious devices are a thing. but the dock i use all the dang time?

    Sigh.

  10. genuine question: how do i say "this group is anarchist" in a way that people cursed with randomly spawning in amerikkka will understand without using words that will make americans (derogatory) start biting peoples faces off like rabid dogs?

  11. Duolingo, a freakin’ casino, it takes more time to open the chests and watch all animations than completing the practice.

    I always have my phone in silent mode, Duolingo violates that and play more sounds than the tivoli roller coaster

    Advise: you should focus on your core business.

  12. Ah, #blogging, that ancient art of stating the glaringly #obvious as if one has discovered the Holy Grail 🏆. Thank goodness for bloggers who bravely inform us that pop-ups are annoying! Next, they’ll reveal that water is wet, and the sky is blue 🌧️🌌.

  13. #imho one of the most #annoying features of fones is 'missed calls'.
    To make it clear, I don't give a shit if I missed your call. I don't want to know when you called. I'm NOT going to call you back. Try again, LATER. Or even better: NOT.

  14. When you need to pay bills and you missed the bank’s notice of maintenance for its online services because it was posted on social media and not on the app or sent through email. 🤬

  15. Luke Willson is the pimple on the ass of the #CFL.

    It was bad enough when they gave him multiple sideline segments every game last year - at least I could mute the TV during his segments. And yes, I absolutely did that.

    This year they have him in the booth as a colour commentator. I can't easily mute that.

    #TSN, I don't know how you managed to do it, but you're making me pine for the days of having Paul LaPolice in the booth. I didn't think that would be possible. Hell, I'd take Rod Black as the colour guy over Willson.

  16. When a web site asks me for MFA from sms or authenticator app. Is it really so hard for them to activate the text box that I have to type into?

    How many times ive typed my code, looking at my phone, just to realize I didnt have the text box activated.

  18. Listening to DAB and they are currently playing Voodo Chile by Jimi Hendrix, and the display says it's Voodo Child. Grrrrrr. you'd expect a classic roch channel to know its correct name.

  19. Sigh, I'm struggling with a Thing I don't like in my life, friends, but I can't change it. Well. Not immediately (unless I'm willing to face some really unpleasant consequences, and I'm not).

    I can work towards changing said Thing but that will take time, and meanwhile, I need to be OK with the status quo. This is unsettling and annoying because I've really reached the end of my tether with the Thing.

    I need to focus on radical acceptance/gratitude/what good I have in my life over the next few days. Currently I'm journalling, writing lists of 'things I love and are good in life', spending time with my favourite folk, planning some gardening...

    any other tips will be greatly appreciated. This is taking up a lot of energy and it's demoralising and sad.

  20. You know what really grinds my gears? When I look for #Fortinet memes but all I get is #Fortnite memes :blobfoxannoyed:.

    Sometimes I hate modern search engines trying to guess what they think you really meant. I need a good old lexical search for images that includes the whole web regardless of license. @Mojeek only does free licenses using Pixabay and OpenVerse. Which is often great! But sometimes not lol.

  21. People at work that love the sound of their own voice and won't let you speak. What takes you 5 minutes should take 30-60s.

  22. I wrote something similar-but-different to this a ways back. Hoping I have better #reach now.

    I've got an #annoying problem using #CUPS to print from a #Debian Linux machine to a USB-attached DYMO #LabelWriter-450 thermal #label #printer.

    I'm generating the image to print myself, with the correct number of pixels for the label media in question. The printer is supposed to be able to print edge-to-edge, top-to-bottom, but it always starts printing 6mm / 1/4" down from the top.
