The YT app on Apple TV is really testing my patience. Besides the super annoying pause screen that kicks in now, and the screensaver, it resets your place in a list every time (e.g. going through your watch later list, or videos from all your subscriptions). If you play a video, it always resets to the top of the list when you back out to the list. I hate this behavior in any app. 😡 #UX#UI#annoyance#gripe#AppleTV
You'd think after COVID-19 people who are coughing and sneezing and using a snotty tissue would wear a mask to not cough/sneeze on other people. But, no....Can't look out of place from the herd! 😢 #gripe
You can ignore my griping of the day, but, yes, my passengers yesterday DID ask me: "How old is your car now?!?!" (I was driving theirs). Interpretation: "we're embarrassed that you are driving a 1999 4Runner which is losing paint" #gripe
Went to our local #cvs drug store last night to get some cold medicine. Store was almost empty. Only one checker. Get to cold isle and thing I wanted is locked up in the security cage. Press button, no body comes. Walk up to front, cashier can't leave front of store and manager is only one with key and "in the back doing money stuff".
Can you (cashier) get the key from manager? No, can't leave front. Does manager know I want to give you money? Yes. After 20 min, I left without purchase. #gripe
Random: Worst invention ever: Bluetooth earbuds are way too easy to lose. And always run out of battery when you need them most. Plus if you need to hear out of an ear you've got to figure out where to stash them. #gripe
Consejo no solicitado de que os vacunéis de gripe y COVID, por favor.
Os podéis evitar unos días malos, como poco, y colaboraréis a proteger a otros. #vacunas#COVID#gripe
SO got us a cool reflector telescope. I've only ever used kid-targeted refractors before so it's an adventure.
I'm gonna gripe that if your "beginners guide" uses the terms "Dec, or collimation" or any of a dozen other telescope specific terms without defining them, it's not a beginners guide!
The quick installation guide said things like "Attach to Dec screw" with no picture or further explanation. Gah!
Thinking whoever is burning logs in their fireplace should not on such a windy day. Yeah, it's cold, but it's windy as heck. (theoretically no sparks should leave their chimney...). #gripe
Hmm, battery charging circuit on the laptop (a rugged version) definitely fried from my plumbing disaster. Looks like I'm buying another one. It runs, but will not charge... yes... some fluids came out of that machine a month ago, LOL. #gripe
Hmm, bad choice bringing your small, coughing and sneezing snotty child to visit Grandma or Grandpa in a hospital ward full of people with illness or injury. #gripe#Healthcare
#Gripe of the day: (multiple) people expecting me to know about things with a deadline without a. emailing me b. texting me c. talking to me. And that deadline being short order (ie hours away, or next week for big projects). "Oh, we thought someone told you."
Most annoying human trait on social media (well, real life): people who won't correct or change a post/statement which is demonstrably incorrect/misleading, solely because they refuse to ever admit to being wrong. #gripe
Nothing like traveling (planes, trains, hotels, etc...) To remind you just how future dystopian, sci-fi life-imitates-art, the world (USA - I don't know how bad it is in other countries) is, than screens everywhere in public spaces blaring "news" at you.
It really is the externalization of "the algorithm" writ large in the public agora.
People looking for another shiny new thing in social platforms keep forgetting, it's your network, NOT the shiny baubles, which count. And I don't get why everyone is so eager to jump on to (yet another) privately owned platform, where some tech entrepreneur/investors want to own your data. #gripe
