French Collection Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 We have had rain every day for the last week. The weather has been really cool as well. The last of the snow that I plow into the field finally melted. Slow start to our spring. The golf season has not started yet, about two weeks behind the norm. As soon as it warms up the bugs will come out. There, it’s out of my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Ads on phones/web sites. Sure they have always been there but in the past few months it has gotten a lot worse. So much so that often time I'll 'relax' with my phone or tablet to catch up on some news or sites I follow, and after about 5 minutes I just give up. -Sites that give you the topic...and EVENTUALLY get to the story (not total clickbait) but they go on and on and on for paragraphs before they get to the point of the story. In the mean time, you have to scroll through 5 regular static ads, 3 pop ups, and its hard to read because as you are reading, the pop ups don't show up all at once but are staggered in so the story moves off the screen. -Legit web sites. I don't mean the gossip style ones but sites that are from legit news sources (some that you have to pay to subscribe to but you stil get ads) that let you start to read the article and 5 seconds later an ad shows up that takes up "HALF" the screen. Then you can 'close' it after the countdown timer goes from 10 sec to zero..but then the 'x' to close it is so small that when you try to press it most of the time your touching the screen actually triggers the ad itself and it takes you to the company site. WHEN you finally get to close that, you read for 5 more seconds, and another ad pops up blocking the center of the screen. Remove that and then the store 'moves again' where you have to scroll to find where it went to. As you swipe up on the screen to get back to where you were reading, another ad pops in at the EXACT spot that you are swiping, of course taking you to the web site of the company/product that ad is for. Again, in the past there were some fringe pages that used thesed tactics, but more and more sites are staring to do it when reading articles on a mobile device. AND, when a company forces an ad to you and it takes you to their pages, does that actually cause THAT Many people to buy their products? Any company that pays for those ads, If I remember them at all I am more likely to go out of my way to NOT support them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubkev Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Had surgery on my foot at the end of March. Couldn't walk for a month. Couldn't walk my dogs for 6 weeks. Have to have it again. ***** me! Damn plantar wart. It came back before the wound was fully healed. This time I'm taking a freaking month off of work. Aiming for October. That's a supreme "sit at home and do nothing" kind of month. And spending a $G on new footwear sure is going to suck balls too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted Thursday at 03:53 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:53 PM The way playoff games are officiated, specifically when people say "don't let the officials decide the games" If a penalty is comitted at a key time, in overtime, of a playoff game. so be it, call it. If something is a penalty in the 1st period, it should be in the 3rd period. If something was called earlier in the game and it ISN'T called later in the game, THAT is actually the refs 'deciding the game' because they are letting players get away with things against the rules. The best way to not 'let the refs' decide the game is for them to call penalties. When I see a penalty not called late in the game, the first thing that comes to my mind is THAT is when they are having an impact on the game by not doing the same job they did from the start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted Thursday at 07:29 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:29 PM I suppose I should give more detail. I miss certain things about the pandemic. I worked all through it, and having all the idiots back at work sucks. On to another - AI. I know it is here to stay and will become a powerful tool, but right now, it's just annoying. I really don't need to see another "Hey, look what AI came up with!" It's all the same and not that interesting. To date, the only thing I've found mildly interesting was the Cosmic Nipple poem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted Thursday at 07:46 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:46 PM because this is a public forum I won't say much but I have now witnessed one of the absolutely saddest, poorly planned, ill thought out, stupid, and otherwise incompetent handlings of an organizational change ever. The level of incompetence is truly shocking and the only thing that will happen is that programs will literally turn into withered husks of their former selves.
