The one that drives me insane is using the touchscreen on my Surface:

  • Go to a channel's page
  • Click on the video tab
  • Scroll through and find the video you want to watch
  • Click on the video and YouTube slides to the playlist tab instead of starting the video. Every fucking time.

I'm all for technology, but if it ain't broken don't fix it. It sounds like they won't have a marker for players on the field to see. That could make things much more difficult for players on the field to judge. If they can reach out and run out of bounds towards a giant orange pole, it could lead to more collisions and injuries. Also, if they have to do all this calibration how are they going to handle mixed us facilities where they pick up and remove the grass? Or the Cardinals stadium where the grass moves outside? It just sounds like a nightmare.

I'm saving this thread to show to my wife later. She was mortified that I let the cable guy into our house with dirty dishes in the sink. And I'm not talking about an overflowing sink. I'm talking about 2-3 plates and maybe a couple of forks.

When my son was younger he was extremely scared of thunderstorms. The closest under our stairs is fairly large and is in the middle of the house, so with a noise maker he couldn't hear the storms in there. We ended up putting a cot in there and decorating it with a bunch of Harry Potter stuff. Any time there was rain he would just hang out in there until it was over. At one point he actually preferred it to his bedroom.

Why is Cinderella bad at soccer?

Because she's always running away from balls

That's exactly what I was thinking

Living in Idaho that was a daily occurrence.

I was driving from Bakersfield to LA and pulled off the highway to get some gas. It was one of those exit ramps that goes down lower than the highway. I'm sitting at the light waiting to turn left and go under the highway, when a car comes flying off the highway upside down. It is airborne and goes right over top of my car. It hits the ground, slides until it hits the other side of the road and somehow rolls back onto its wheels. It then tries to take off but just crashes into fence and stops. A few moments later a parade of police cars came hauling ass down the exit ramp. I just drove straight back onto the highway and stopped at the next gas station.

Every Google icon on Android. They all look too similar to each other. That an Authenticator looks like a rainbow butthole.

I started using Crunchbang because it was so lightweight and ran great on Virtual Box on Windows 7. I stopped using it, when they stopped developing it. I wasn't aware of ++. I will be installing it this evening.

Hopefully, I did a lot of work in the Texas sun today. I have a huge ass travel mug that I use when working outside, and I filled it and finished it twice.
