[SportWagon]

Actually, since the derivation of "amateur" is doing things for the love if it, one might think that professional spellers would be more likely to misspell "amateur" than amateur spellers would.

And everyone should be able to guess that "amateur" is a word that I myself have had a tendency to misspell over the years.

Er, that and "misspell".

P.S. George how big is that animation you posted up there? It seems to eat my web browser.

You didn't have to do that just for me...

I have/had various ways to get around the problem.

Soccer? I thought it was basketball.

I looked at it before you deleted it, and it seemed the image (GIF frame size) was slightly more than would display in my window size, and so each frame was being resized as 7/8 or something like that.

Yeah,, I started getting into PUBG and liked its relative realism.... and Fortnite seemed like a circus clown version of it (YES, I know PUBG already borrowed a lot from other games as well), yet Fortnite gets super popular...of course a lot of them are kids that play it which doesn't help its image.

I mean it's so bad that the second most searched term on Pr0nhub this year was "Fortnite"....wtf?

I haven't played Fortnite, but I've watched my son. It looks super-cool to me.

I'd like to see the Fortnite/PUBG concept done in a larger open world such as Los Santos.

None of this ten-minute stuff. Games could take a really long time to to finish.

Who knew package thieves had the money to drive somewhat-new cars?

And holy shit this is clearly a more common crime than I thought!

[George]

Funny as hell - and should have been worse - but I'd be worried that they'd be coming back for revenge.

Disclaimer - I didn't watch the whole thing. That may have been addressed.

[Crazed_Insanity]

Lot of them might not remember where they stole it from.

So sad that there are so many thieves out there...

[Godson]

It's petty theft.

Honestly, they are stealing it from amazon, etc. Because they have to pay for the lost package

[George]

...and then re-ship it to the angry customer.

I see it as just another reason to buy locally.

[George]

Because they have to pay for the lost package

Hmm. What if you say your package must have been stolen because you never received it, but you don't have thieves on film?

Do they ship you another?

How many times?

(asking for a friend) ;)

[MR2 Fan]

Just for facts, yes, at least for cheaper items.

I ordered some cheap PC speakers once (~ $10) and it didn't show up, so I said I never received it, so the sent another one and received it....and like 3 weeks later, the other set showed up.

[Crazed_Insanity]

Yeah, you win some lose some. I’ve received multiple orders from amazon too and it costs them too much to ship it back so they just let you have it. Sometimes I wonder how they make money... I guess if they accidentally shipped you an extra iPad, surely they’ll want it back...

Also, nowadays they take a picture of the package at your porch so you know it’s delivered. If you claim theft, they’ll probably try to hide your package better for next delivery... as to exactly how many times we can do this... not sure, but surely there be a limit. Probably just refund you the money and ask you to leave them alone! And your address will be forever blacklisted by Amazon! ;)

[G'day Mate]

It's petty theft.

Honestly, they are stealing it from amazon, etc. Because they have to pay for the lost package

Amazon would pass the cost on though

[Rare White Ape]

^ Yep.

They’ll make enough sales at a profit of $5 per sale, that it’ll earn Bezos so much money that he can retire for infinity years. I’m pretty sure they can handle losing the odd $100 package.

Consider the volume deals they do with shipping companies as well. I pay $5 per month as a Prime subscriber, which gives me free shipping on most of the things I’d buy from them. Usually express postage for a video game is something like $8 for overnight delivery. If I buy just one thing per month then it pays for itself. If I buy two things, surely they’re losing money.

Or are they???

I’d wager that they’ve got a deal with Australia Post that gives them overnight shipping for $3, because they’ll be shipping in bulk. It all comes from the one distribution centre, so it cuts down massively on logistics until the goods get close to their destination. If they can wrangle a deal for $2.95 then they’ll save millions per year.

[drew]

Jeff Bezos probably uses rolls of $100s as a fleshlight.

[Freude am Fahren]

Is Prime really that cheap in Australia? It's up to $10US/mo. here I think. That's almost 3x the cost.

[Rare White Ape]

Yeah it is!

*googles*

It’s $6.99 a month, or $54 a year.

As an introductory offer, it’s $4.99 a month until the end of January.

Amazon opened for business in Australia just over a year ago, and Prime became available in June.

^ Hah!

That’s exactly the reason why most workplaces still run Windows XP or 7 on their desktops. We’ve got 7 at work and I fear that moving to 8 will be the cause of much consternation among my colleagues.

You can forget about using 10 in a workplace. Absofuckinlutely.

[dodint]

We use Win10 exclusively, and our extended enterprise is hundreds of thousands of client machines. A Win10 Enterprise deployment is much more controlled than what a typical personal user deals with.

I am not a Win10 fan, just stating it's very capable in the workplace.

[Freude am Fahren]

Can you even get Win8? I thought they took it behind the shed?

[speedpimp]

We use an XP/7 based system at work and they seem to be happy with it, even though it is sometimes very creaky.

[The359]

Most all of the machines in the post office are still running XP or 7.

[Yw-slayer]

10 is ok at work. It's usually the patches that sometimes break random stuff. I do think 7 was more a table.

[drew]

We're all W10, no exceptions.

I'm on W10 at home because my Mobo/CPU doesn't support W7.

[Freude am Fahren]

At the station I used to work at, we went from XP/7 mix to 10 on all machines. Nearly everything worked better (a lot of new hardware was involved too, of course). But even the critical stuff, like production control and master control were put on 10 and worked great.

[Dicknose]

I still support systems running QNX4, released in about 1994! Some of the software was written in the late 80s on an earlier version of QNX.
They are now on virtual machines as there is no compatible hardware still around.
Me - I didnt have a computer at home for about 15 years. Only have one now that I kept my work macbook when I got made redundant (company was a windows place, the section they closed used macs). Still dont have any fixed line internet, just mobile/cell.

[speedpimp]

I had Wednesday off due to the Polar Kotex. The boss had decided on Monday that we weren't running because of the weather. I came in Thursday morning and was handed an envelope containing a copy of a hand written letter from the owners to the drivers telling us how much they cared about us and how much we meant to them. That meant a lot to me. The gift card was a nice touch as well. The roads were shit and my route was 100 miles away. I never got over 50 mph all day and at times was doing 35-40. Being out in the cold wasn't all that bad because I was bundled up. Thermals fucking rule. The biggest worry should've been the produce freezing, but it wasn't as the reefers were set to 48F. Normally they are set at 36-38 depending on the season. I was more than happy for that day to be over with.

[Drachen596]

We use Win 10 on all our new computers at work. There is a few windows 7 or 8s floating around.

The actual work software though I think is older than rocks. Runs through Citrix though supposedly that's getting updated soon.

Only problem we seem to have is related to Excel though. I get a lot of freeze ups and crashes on shared files since the PC I use swapped to Windows 10. I suspect its something to do with shared files open in different versions of the program.

[Alan P]

Windows 10 across the whole business now. Thankfully.

[George]

Only problem we seem to have is related to Excel though. I get a lot of freeze ups and crashes on shared files since the PC I use swapped to Windows 10. I suspect its something to do with shared files open in different versions of the program.

I don't know whether to be disappointed with Office 2016 or Windows 10, but after we switched from Windows 7 to Windows 10 (and continued using Office 2016), we could no longer save macros in our hidden personal.xls workbooks to use with any spreadsheet one might open. I've figured out how to save macros within any individual workbook, but what's the point? Having to create them anew in every new spreadsheet completely defeats the point of using them.

Example: I routinely export data from accounting software to Excel. Once I get it in Excel, I want to run a macro that immediately changes the font and text size, removes all borders around cells, removes background colors, changes text to black, deletes columns I don't need, center-justifies date columns, changes number columns to accounting format, and then center-justifies, wraps text, and bolds the column headers. For many years now, easily created and saved macros made that a one-click operation in any spreadsheet.

[Kchrpm]

Have a data sheet/tab that you paste in as-is or as values, use formulas in a different tab/sheet that has the columns and formatting you want and pulls the data in.

[George]

Thanks, Kchrpm.

However, it's still more work than it used to be.

My message to Microsoft is if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

[Kchrpm]

Really? You're just pasting in the data and letting the formulas run, unless I'm misunderstanding things, and the formulas themselves are very simple.

But I'm not generally a fan of using macros in Excel unless absolutely necessary, because of how they work and the issues that can come up with sharing them.

[George]

Yes, but then I have to keep another spreadsheet somewhere and open it first. Before they changed it, it was just a button to click on my Quick Access Toolbar from any spreadsheet.

I realize this is a minor thing to quibble about, but it used to work really well. I like things that work well and miss them when they are taken away.

For what it's worth, I never shared spreadsheets with macros. I can't think of why I would want to. I just used them to do my work faster and with far fewer mouse clicks.

[dodint]

As the IT guy that breaks peoples macros I completely understand George's frustration. I've heard it from lots of people in lots of places. ;)

[Dicknose]

Do you have clockspeed issues?
Yes... the virtual machines run much much faster even when we have 4 of the old machines running together on a single new host!
The originals were on 486. But with QNX being so efficient and fast that was enough to do the job. They got moved onto newer hardware and over the years would have ended on much faster clocked pentiums and just hummed along.
But even then the jump from 10 year old hardware to a hugely better speced virtual server gave them a performance boost.
I did have to fix an issue at one point where they got too fast and it caused a race condition, they worked in conjunction with another system and occasionally would beat it for speed - something they never did before.

It’s actually amazing how little the speed cost is for using a virtual machine, especially if you are just crunching data.

Oh and no problem with the clocks and knowing the year! The originals would have run code and special hardware (with a video feed into the box) to keep their internal clocks “frame accurate” for tv work. Later machines we trusted with NTP.

On a similar note we had a machine that had been “up” for over 10 years and it needed its power to be removed to go onto a better UPS. It was a worry that the hard disk might of died and we wouldn’t have know as it wasn’t used once the machine was booted and running.

[dodint]

Interesting. I was sure you would. I was running a Windows 95 VM on an ESXi host and no matter what I did I couldn't emulate the performance of an old processor. I was playing the original Sim City on it (we had a fair amount of downtime in Afghanistan!) and the game played at lightning speed, several game years would go by in a second. I used the ESXi configuration to set the correct processor and used a software solution on the client VM but still couldn't do anything to get is slowed down.

One of the used Record/CD stores a few blocks from my office is having a moving sale. Everything that's already dirt cheap is another 40% off!

I found three good used CDs for a few dollars each. All are albums I haven't heard before from bands I like.

I hustled back to the office, only to find/realize/remember that there's no CD player in my new laptop at work. :smh:

Oh, the agony... :lol:

[Crazed_Insanity]

I wonder in the future, will there be people sitting around listening to vintage CDs on they vintage CD players making claims that their music sounds so much better than music streamed from the internet... :D

[Rare White Ape]

People already do that.

But lots of people listen to music on crappy speakers, thus rendering moot any argument about data rate.

[Cam]

Physical media is SO 20th century.

[Godson]

People already do that.

But lots of people listen to music on crappy speakers, thus rendering moot any argument about data rate.

They also do it with compressed bitrates over Bluetooth. Shitty + shitty = amazing sound....


I had this argument with a buddy. He said you can't tell the difference between low bitrate and high bitrate music. I can compress the music files copied from disc on my truck to save space on the HD. I had a few different Tool albums, so I started with Jiambi, by the end of the first pair, he wasn't making that claim. I didn't even get to do the Bluetooth stream comparison.

Physical media is SO 20th century.

I've bought about 60 CDs since December, I like ripping them to FLAC, which you can't really get.

I've tried teh Applian/Spotify thing, but it's such a clunky clusterfuck, it's not worth it (in my opinion), so I cancelled both.

I just listen to mixes via SoundCloud, podcasts or BBC iPlayer.

Yes

[Rare White Ape]

Why are we butt dust?

Because the universe just does that typo thing.

^ I used to love Bojangles' biscuits for breakfast when I lived in Charlotte, where they were founded. I used to work near their first restaurant, not that it was any different than any other.

Bacon, egg, and cheese on a biscuit practically dripping with butter, and one pack of yellow mustard to fix it up just right.

They'll fatten you up like a prize pig, but they're oh-so-good.

[dodint]

That picture is, indeed, from a Charlotte location.

[George]

I could tell that from the grammar.

[George]

And I must say, a BojAngler is a clever name for a fish sammich from there.

What are paragliders or parachutists suppose to do if they see themselves approaching bunch of lions or alligators on the ground...

Hope that the spiders and snakes kill the lions or alligators, if they're in Aussie.

[Crazed_Insanity]

Ok. :|

[Freude am Fahren]

Yeah, not really any sympathy, though at the end of the story, they did mention she went back to the zoo to apologize and admit she was wrong. Pretty rare these days for someone to actually admit their own fault, rather than just sue.

It's almost baseball season again in the USA. :up:

[Dicknose]

ah fucking kangaroos!

Luckily it was only a small one - Ive seen a few big males that made me nervous just being within 100m of them!

oh and how many errors can they credit to a single play in baseball??

[Kchrpm]

AFAIK an error is only awarded if a runner gains a base because of it, so (4+3+2+1) 10 errors is likely the maximum, barring players running backwards.

Take a longer, more highly focused glance.

[Leon]

That is either clever, or unfortunate.

"They told park officials that they were there to do some overnight birdwatching with their telescopes, but that was a lie. The telescopes were just for show. Meng and the others were there to execute the final step in an international conspiracy to open a secret line of communication to another Resistance position in Alaska."

Augmented reality game goes batshit. (https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/xwnwzj/how-an-augmented-reality-game-escalated-into-real-world-spy-warfare)

Is it sad that I knew what game was being referenced before I even clicked the link?

[Cam]

I never heard of it before now.

[The359]

I remember when all Verizon phones came with that installed on them. Tried it for a day, but as usually living in a rural area means its pretty useless.

I could fill this entire thread with flat earth videos and they would qualify under the thread title as epic fails. They are so unbelievably stupid.

I regularly watch SciManDan’s YouTube videos as he debunks these stupid fools on a regular basis. Professor Dave Explains is great too. I’ll post some of his stuff in the science thread. Really really good stuff.

Just like essential oils, it sucks at what 99% of what it gets used as.

[SportWagon]

Just to confuse things, though, they've now introduced WD-40 brand [bicycle] chain lubricant, in both drip bottles and spray containers.

As someone here told me, original WD-40 is not even a lubricant. It is a cleaning formula. "WD" stands for "Water Displacement". (As someone here told me).

[The359]

Quality.

[Cam]

Took me a while to see it. Wow.

[MR2 Fan]

it's even on the video of it turning around!

[Freude am Fahren]

I just saw it on my second visit to this thread. At first I though it was just a "heh, that's funny" situation because it was an "Air Force" dive watch. But now that I see it... That's just pathetic :lol:

[Rare White Ape]

Perhaps there's a Yankee-centric joke here that I'd get if I watched the news in America.

[Cam]

One of the dots on the face fell off.

[Crazed_Insanity]

Wow. I couldn’t see that without your hint too!

[Yw-slayer]

I thought it was the Air Force dive watch too, until Cam pointed out the dot. :lol:

[FaultyMario]

I thought it was the "good for swimming, but not for diving" divers watch description.

[Crazed_Insanity]

359 is the only GTXfer who pays attention to details I guess. Cam took a while but at least he still saw it!

MR2, did you catch that right away too?

Who ever took the pics and made the animation must not be paying much attention to any details and thought that dot is suppose to bounce around inside that watch! :lol:

[MR2 Fan]

I saw the dot immediately, figured it was easy to see but apparently not :p

[Rare White Ape]

Yeah that’s a sneaky one.

[George]

I didn't see the dot at first either. Now I see it down there in the bottom of the dial. I wonder if the photographer noticed it and pointed it out to someone or just took his pictures and video and went on to the next one. Keep quiet, work fast, get paid.

I remember pointing out misspellings and other errors when I worked in the commercial printing business. Early on I was told if the customer signed off on the proof indicating their approval of the job "as is", then the job will be printed. If they want things changed, they can pay to have the job done again.

One of several things that soured me on the sales profession years ago is that making money was more important than doing the right thing. And I'm all for money, but standing by while shoddy work is done is a sad situation.

[Freude am Fahren]

Haha, I didn't notice the dot hanging out at the bottom.

I'm sure the "photographer" was probably whoever in the office/warehouse had the best cameraphone.

[Rare White Ape]

I could fix it in Photoshop but I don't want to.
