It’s funny, if I have fast Internet, I’ll go to the videos cause I’ll slide right up to the exact part I want to watch, if I have slow Internet I don’t even bother. Also often when I’m working on something my hands are covered in grease or I’ve got gloves on or something, and there’s always like five seconds of the video I really need and the rest I don’t.
Nonetheless, it’s pretty fucking cool that you can pretty much fix anything by speaking into the ether and it appears on your phone.
When they say they sent a confirmation email but you don't get one and you are stuck waiting in limbo. Argg!
Tell me about it.Quote:

For the most part this is true, but why can't I get Google to stop loading sites as plain text. I've tried every solution that the internet suggests. The problem goes away when I reboot, then returns after a couple of days. Only for sites I regularly view. My nieces husband who is a professional IT tech couldn't fix it.Quote:

^ damn thats outrageous. That post office sucked when I had a box there...from the parking to the line for packages I don't miss it one bit. I ran errands in the boat this a.m. and thought what a parody of itself the place has turned into. Same stuff in all the mtn towns the last few years I guess...
Damn, ours are free in SummitQuote:

Full disclosure I have found that for some random things like electrical outlets, occasionally paint etc are priced below the big box hardware stores but still I use it as an absolute last resort.
National embarrassment.
Interesting. Maybe a regional thing? Crappy Tire has never been known for its customer service in store but never had a return questioned. There are better hardware and auto places, but like you said, deals can be had on the regular. I prefer them to our Walmarts.Quote:

Too much ice in my G&T or Margarita. 2-3 standard home freezer cubes at the most .... maybe just one. the gin/tequila should still be dominate at the end of the drink.
I mean Ssherioushly .......
Yesterday, it just cost me/fellow mag Powcom 39.00 to ship a Wii and 5-6 games to ID…..with a delivery date of next Wednesday….lol. Ridiculous price for shipping a simple box.Quote:

We needed a hex key in order to take apart and transport a bed frame. We couldn't find an open store to buy one. Not even Canadian tire or Walmart It took many hours for thing#1 to find a friend who was awake and not dysfunctionally hungover in order to borrow said key. And then we had to transport said frame plus the mattress to Saint John from Fredericton before heading towards VT. It was a goat rodeo. Of the highest order.Quote:
