  • Tried to unsubscribe at start of the year when they added commercials to Prime Videos. Wouldn't let me cancel. I could set my subscription to NOT RENEW but I could not cancel it and get a pro-rated refund. So I'll keep it until December with it constantly reminding me how much I save on postage with Prime. Won't really change my usage patterns. I'll just group my purchases until shipping is free. No more 50lbs of cat litter drop shipped overnight for $2.50.

  • Is it my imagination or are these dim-witted assassins getting easier to catch. Trump didn't even get to bandage his ear this time.

  • I wonder if the owner is booking a flight to a non-extraditable country or if he's going to go private.

  • I predict the deceased's executor will have to sue Wells Fargo for their last paycheck. They'll claim they were working the full 4 days since they were found. And entitled to overtime since they're hourly rather than salaried.

  • Now if it was crunchy peanut butter, I woulda accused the guy of being a pervert.

  • Someone should suggest Clarence play a game of solitare. If the Chinese can Manchurian someone, I'm sure Putin's got something similar.

  • Lovely little utility.

    Shut up and take my money.

  • Pasolini's SALO. Images from it corrupt my brain.

  • Target

    Jump
  • Although with the state of both Target's near me, there's often stuff out of stock.

    • peroxide -- come on. The last time Target didn't have peroxide or rubbing alcohol was during the pandemic lockdown. What their excuse NOW?
    • Hershey's Almond Nuggets -- OK. They're popular. So if there's only 1 bag left, you should maybe order more.
    • t-shirts in my size -- the men's accessory clothing section was a disaster. I don't know when the last time a sales associate tidied up, but there were underwear sizes all mixed up from different brands (Fruit of the Loom, Hanes, etc.) and quality. I had to buy what I wanted on-line.

    It's gotten so that I don't trust either of my Target's to have stuff I buy there on a regular basis.

  • I disabled History and only see my channel subscriptions. None of the options above appear in my Youtube feed.

  • I got hit by this AT&T usage cap for internet downloads. I went through 250GB of downloads in less than a month. Most of it was internet backups of a newly installed system. They don't offer a data tier without a cap in my area so I was stuck paying $10/10GB over that month. Next month I added a $30 unlimited data charge to my bill. That's OK as I'm consistently going over their cap again due to backups. Unless I buy much more expensive plan from a commercial provider and pay for Fibre installation, I'm stuck.

  • 40 years ago at UCLA, I had to do my FORTRAN programs on punch cards submitted through the batch system. The CS/Math department (no CS department then), only offered 1 section in FORTRAN with 40 others in PASCAL. And it was taught by an Engineering professor. Why would a Chemistry major take a computer science class? Remember all those shiny machines CSI uses to do forensic analysis? They came from chem labs.

  • Didn't hear what she had to say but a friend said is was definitely going to be the basis of SNL's cold open this weekend.
