Even if that phrase hadn’t been used ad nauseum already, this would be the right time to use it. This is truly a WTF move.

Mine is super annoying so the silent mode is clutch. You just have to remember that you were heating something if you’re also distracted with other stuff. Whenever the power goes out and I have to reset it, I swear I turn the sound off before I do the clock because every button press is super loud. Even my MIL commented on it once when she was visiting, before we figured out how to turn the sound off.

The worst is when someone is sharing their screen in zoom and then complaining about the lag in Chrome, while you can see the 80+ tabs… I even mentioned it to someone once but did she close them? No. Of course not.

Remember when the country came together after 9/11 because there was an enemy that was not a different half of our populace? We could have had that again with covid, but nooooo, we had to turn to infighting instead (and villainizing China while we were at it).

Yeah but he’s Matt Smith and top billed so he has to have screentime. (I think? I don’t actually watch it.)

When I was in high school, blonde jokes were all the rage. Also AIM only allowed ten character usernames. Here I am more than 25 years later…

My dad doesn’t swing to the left when turning right, but he does take the turn as wide as he can so he doesn’t have to slow down as much, for instance. Being a passenger in his car is nauseating.

That’s not what they’re saying. It’s essentially a “door ajar” warning. The sensor is what’s failing, rather than the physical part.

A winter bird where I live! First time I saw some (a flock in a neighbor’s tree) I was surprised by how small they are. I always pictured them bigger, like jay size.
