It's all on-line apps around here (Davis) e.g. Park mobile; it's almost more work than dropping quarters, but I do not miss having to have 5 rolls of quarters in my car.Quote:

I drive my mom to the bank. She insists I park in the handicapped spot, even though I'm the only one going in. She has the card and she's damn well gonna use it.
The guy next door used his mother's for years after she died. Now he's old enough to need it.
There aren’t any TV stations here, but our local forecaster is the first one to be like “Jeez, I don’t fucking know, it’s the mountains!”Quote:

God I sometimes wish I could punch app developers in the face. Our office just had a software update to Outlook (maybe other stuff too). I open Outlook and my quick links to mail and calendars and tasks, that used to be at the bottom left of the screen, are now in a vertical bar along the left side. Why? I suppose it's not a big deal but I have a lot of muscle memory and don't know why that had to change. Right clicking to move toolbars or whatnot doesn't yield any results. Going into "Options" doesn't point to any obvious choices. Eventually, I find -- in the "Advanced" option tab -- a thing called "Outlook panes". The choices there still don't seem to offer any solutions, except there's a checkbox for "Show Apps in Outlook", with a little "info" icon next to it. Hovering over that says something like "turn off this setting to snooze this feature and return to the classic Outlook navigation bar". Still isn't clear from that, but yes, turning off the feature, closing and reopening Outlook, returns me to the usual screen setup.
Just typing that makes me want to punch the app developer a second time.
"Outlook pains"
lol
Pane pains?
Codicil to this: people who seem to think the weather people on TV are actually predicting weather. They are simply regurgitating data from other sources.Quote:

And, I'm not sure what mailing list I got on, but I keep getting solicitations for Medicare Supplement in the mail, even from my insurance company. Like giant flyers and shit. Doesn't my insurance company know how old (young) I am? Late 40's but I'm still in my 40's. Ugh.
That's not necessarily true. Chris Tomer is a TV weather guy and most certainly is predicting the weather, not just regurgitating NWS forecasts. I have no idea if he is a big exception though.Quote:

Both frequently post NWS images or info about model runs. But both are taking those and making their own forecasts, and it would be a mistake to say they are simply regurgitating and not predicting.Quote:

This is one area where Mexico is way ahead of us. Find a good looking woman, give her a revealing wardrobe, and voila, a weather person.
Who TF watches local weather anymore?
the developer didn’t want to move that stuff around, you want to punch the Product person.Quote:

Really? I get both. The taskbar popup which a gate, and a separate window that has the upcoming meetings along with past ones that I haven't dismissed yet. Except that it's a pop under from what I can tell. It does let me snooze. The taskbar reminder is what makes me go look at the pop-under window. I didn't configure any of this knowingly, it just happened. I hate Microsoft.Quote:

Making things more functional for the lowest common denominator, ie phones/tablets?Quote:
