Of course she doesn’t, she’s surrounded by hollyweirdos.

I don’t think Rosie released the blood herself, the idiot did it to himself on the glass he broke.

Still, good job Rosie, for scaring the blood out of the asswipe.

Also, that’s artery-volume blood.

No, VCR blinked if you coughed. Those things were far more sensitive.

Plus there were still a lot of analog electric clocks on stoves during the VCR era.

And don’t get me started on the microwave.

Screw setting all those clocks whenever the power burps. If you ever lived where this occurs almost daily, you’d understand.

Plus, setting a VCR clock was always a pain in the ass.

First, talk to your doctor.

That’s a short-acting medication. I forget the half-life, but I know it’s not very long.

I’m surprised your doc prescribed a single dose per day - there’s practically no way for it to last that long (without side effects or having a high spike and then low later - just what you’re experiencing). A short/fast acting med is typically split into 2 doses to even it out during the day.

Perhaps a different med would be more useful, something slower-acting.

But, again, talk to your doc. They’ll know what way to go.

Ah hell, I don’t know anything about it, but figured I’d go ahead and download it to watch later.

Oh, that’s interesting. I wonder why?

Honda, Toyota, Mazda, (and maybe Mitsubishi) in that order.

I refuse to buy any other brand of vehicle if I can avoid it.

This a result of growing up in shops, working on every brand available in the US, and a large family having owned or driven pretty much everything out there.

American and European cars are just garbage in comparison. Even Mitsubishi is better (and they were really diminished by the Chrysler merger).

Along with the car theme, Nokian tires if you live in a climate with real winter.

Milwaukee cordless tools, but only because I like their vast variety of tools that use the same battery. I’ve had other brands that have been fine (and I’m not nice to the tools): Dewalt (still have some 20-year old tools with Milwaukee adapters), the store brands from Home Depot and Lowes, etc.

Work clothes: Carhartt is really hard to beat, but Dickies are damn good too.

Check out the apps Hermit and Native Alpha. They make web pages run like an app. I’ve only run into a couple sites where they don’t work right.

I vaguely recall a recent-ish article that an average web page is 30mb. That’s right, thirty megabytes.

It’s amazing how much faster web browsing becomes when I run PiHole and block most of it.

Suddenly the TV is pretty snappy, and all browsers feel so much smoother.

Typical snobbery.

The Sinclair was rather ridiculed at the time as “not a real computer”.

Nothing ever changes - Instead of being excited by someone having the skills to implement chess in 670k of memory by using freakin’ machine language, and appreciating the Sinclair for what it is, they compared to what they had.

I mean wow, if you’ve never done machine language coding… I’m flabbergasted.

Reduce consumption of canned/bottled drinks slowly.

Say drop it by 1% for the next week. Then 2%, then 5%, then 10%. Make it simple, just use can/bottle count.

You need to give your brain time to adjust.

While you’re dropping your soda count, replace it with water. I don’t even order sodas when eating out anymore, because they charge way too much for them (about 10x the cost). I wouldn’t mind paying a buck or even 2, but often they’re $3+. It’s even worse with coffee and iced tea…pound sand, give me a water.

That’s existed since at least the 60’s, maybe even earlier.

And electric clocks used to get their timing from the frequency of the electrical system, and power companies would compensate for any daily variations by changing the frequency over night so any timing systems would be back in sync.

Commercial buildings often used these kinds of clocks.

Lol, “modern weather prediction” which is still as wrong as much as it’s right, on an hourly basis.

We just don’t have that kind of predictive capability, yet, as weather systems are dynamic/chaotic.

Many times I’ve left the house with no prediction of precipitation, and been caught out. And I use multiple weather apps, including radar apps.

Ah, interesting. I can see it.

Britain seems to have addressed it, but… Their system requires honesty on the part of anyone finding anything, plus they require documentation of antiquities if you sell/buy them.

Why is it illegal?

The violation they target users for is sharing a video, and that’s usually through a file sharing service like torrenting.

Think of it this way - whatever you watch online via a browser you’re already downloading. Or via an app.

You know, it really tweaks me that torrenting is associates with piracy, when it could’ve become the defacto way to share files between users, if OS devs had just included the protocol in the OS (looking at you Android, but Windows and Apple too).

I’ve often questioned why it wasn’t…

I just say “post grezz sequel”. Sorry if it pisses people off, but it’s a stupid name, so I’m gonna say it the way I want.

I look forward to the day when all these lame-ass, insider naming conventions are looked down upon as the stupid things they are.

Wtf does “en jinx” or “engine X” have to do with it’s functionality?

I hate looking for an app on my phone that does a particular thing but hell if I can recall what the idiot developed called it.

Rules of English, the closest I’d come is n-jinx. You don’t pronounce letters individually, unless reciting the alphabet or something.

Unless you pronounce the letter “B” the same way you say it, like the bug that makes honey.

We don’t say “beenefits” or “bee eee an eee eef eye tee ess”

Wtf?

It’s Jason. If they wanted it pronounced that way, they should’ve spelled it differently…

Like GIF

Sorry, no, at least one could argue GIF. JSON is a single freakin’ vowel short of a common male name.

Morons.
