Random Rants

@Xavras All those A list stand ups attending that Riyadh comedy show was a bummer but hard to hold judgment against Saudi money these days

IMO the rant king will always be this guy (no offense, Sam Kinison).
-
@mclaincausey You’re absolutely right. If only he and Sam Kinison were alive today.

I'm on the forum 99% of the time at work on downtime (2nd screen, i probably log on and off 100x a day with how my brain works). Sometime last week my work's IP address got blackballed from the forum. The crew and @goosehd have been trying to help, but to no avail. My only forum access is then my phone, which gets really slow internet reception in the office.
My only logical next step is to contact our offsite IT department which takes a managers approval, and say "my non work related clothing forum is inaccessible right now while I'm at the office, and I'm having to work instead. Can you look into it?".
rock and hard place much?

I do enjoy watching the winter Olympics, showing off what the athletes have trained for and vie for, for their endeavor. What I find disturbing is when an athlete has errors or mistakes, and then walks off the arena crying, and not acknowledging the crowd that is there to support them.
-
I can see why that would be disappointing to watch but I get it. It’s the Olympics and I’m sure they’re dealing with a lot emotionally. It’s not just a game for them, it’s all they think about every day. Personally, I’d be pretty pissed off if I lost because of my own mistake rather than not being the best. That’s way more painful.

@northsouthdenimguy exactly why I’m hesitant to poke the bear.

That's a tough way to come out of the closet

@jordanscollected I'm sure if you stress the importance of the WAYWT thread, they will understand!

I swear voice to text used to pick up the words I use all the time. Now I say Sashiko and it turns into sushi. I say Wesco boots and it changes to West Coast. I type Iron Heart with my fat thumbs and it drops letters like I’ve never written the word before.
I have corrected these terms countless times, probably in the thousands over the years, and my phone still acts like it is the first day on the job. Maybe it is time for an upgrade. Or maybe it is just user error. Either way it is mildly irritating.

@northsouthdenimguy …it’s the software. Typing autocorrect is just as bad.

It’s horrible, my wife and I will lay in bed complaining about it.
not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it is annoying as hell. -
It’s just picking up on your inner feelings

@northsouthdenimguy a similar thing happens with the IH product release/restock videos if you have the captions on. Again, this is the software and it’s probably more amusing if you’re not the one trying to communicate. One consistent error has conjured up the image of metal deer running around somewhere in Japan (Iron Hart).
