  1. 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. 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.

  14. 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 🌧️🌌.

  19. #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.

  27. 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.

  35. 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.
