My #PetPeeve >> #people who not only do not return #shopping#carts, but they leave them in the #parking space so that you can't park there unless you get out and move the cart :o/
When one person clogs up a #hashtag I follow so completely, that no matter how long I #doomscroll, all I see is that one person's posts, one after the other, seemingly forever. Aaarrgghhh!!
UTC has no am or pm - 00:00-23:59 (yeah, there is a 24:00 & a 23:59:60 but never mind).
Hz is not an abbreviation, it's a symbol for the unit hertz, indicating 1 cycle per second. 1000 Hz is 1 kHz, k being the prefix for kilo (x10^3).
K is the symbol for kelvins, a unit of temperature measurement. It is not a degree. It is currently 274 K where I am. Each kelvin is the same value as a degree celsius.
I frequently write a message in teams, paste a link or two, hit send, and the message that pops up is only the first word or two of my message. If I wait a second or so before sending, this doesn't happen.
I assume it's an issue with the links being checked by some system, but I find it absurd it would silently send the wrong message, rather than just queuing.
This is my take on how #apple thought up window management in #macos . No structure, no worries, no cares. Seriously, window management is a nightmare and barely usable with Rectangle. Heck, #windows does a better job!
My wife is FINALLY seeing how terrible the YouVersion #bible app is!
This whole "celebrity culture" we have in the #christian world is a huge problem that hardly no one is paying attention to.
I couldn't care less about your upcoming album, single, book, or study, or the fact that you are from a popular mega church. Why are we not doing Godly things FOR GOD?!
I was reminded about a distinct pet peeve I have in movies and TV shows:
I played the cello for 8-9 years in grade school, and it quickly became really obvious when someone on the screen wasn’t playing what we were hearing.
But not even just when it’s done well, which bothers me but I get (what actors also happen to be a good violinist, etc.?), but even when it’s bad.
The bowing is wrong, they’re on different strings when you hear just one, etc.
Uuuhhh, gerade entdeckt: Das Goethe-Institut hat auf YouTube eine Reihe "Dialekte Hotline", in der sie alle möglichen Dialekte der deutschen Sprache vorstellen. Ist ganz lustig gemacht und hat auch Untertitel, ist also sowohl was für Muttersprachler*innen als auch für Menschen, die Deutsch lernen.
Mein persönlicher Liebling aus den bislang produzierten Folgen ist Badisch:
#Mastodon#PetPeeve: if someone helpfully replies to your image post with the alt text your forgot to add, don’t boost the reply, just copy/paste the alt text to the original image, where screen readers can actually find it.
Boosting it just broadcasts the caption without context to everyone’s timelines, and still doesn’t make the original post more accessible.
Just read a great family letter 👍😁… and now it’s pet peeve time:
I say Christmas/ Holiday letters should be written by one person with one point of view.
Do NOT wander back and forth trying to convince us that each family member wrote some sections. 🤯
I have one request of podcasters / video makers that I would like to whisper into the aether:
If you say out loud, “no one wants to listen to this, we’ll have to cut this out,” then…
actually cut it out.
And please, please do not tell a cohost they are boring the audience. Even if it’s meant as a joke, it’s not funny. You just look like a Little Napoleon.
Don’t worry, I’ll leave if I’m bored. And the worst, most boring thing is whining, “I’m boring you.”
I find it weird that writing on Teams (or similar messenger) asking if they can disturb is still a thing.
It's not like messenger systems is something new in the office anymore and of course it's interrupting to ask if you can interrupt.
Oh and also people writing "Hi" as a single message, and then 30 seconds later still is typing follow up.
Websites that have tight maximum length restrictions, restrict allowed characters, or require them to be changed often.
Blood donor center where I hand over my ID, and then to make sure it's me, ask me for my address- which is on the ID. If I was a fraud, I'd be able to answer that.
Chewy wanting to make sure I'm the one that placed an order - so they ask me what was in the order. Which a fraudster placing the order would know.
