Like, he'd type "http://www.facebook.com" into yahoo to go to it instead of in the address bar, and he refuses to listen when I tell him different.

Okay, that's pretty extreme, but when I'm working with people don't understand how bookmarks work, I ALWAYS tell them to Google the name of whatever it is they're looking for.

For example, M&T Bank, whom everyone around here just calles M&T. Their website is mtb.com. Not MT.com, not m&t bank.com, not pleaseloadmycheckingaccountmypasswordisPa$$w0rd.mandtbankwebsite.com, or any of the other weird convolutions I see pop up in the URL history. Just mtb.com (they also have mandtbank.com, but she can't process this because she gets hung up on why it has "man" in the URL).

So this way, instead of forgetting the name and landing on any of the shady sites with similar names, she Googles "m & t bank" and finds their website. A little indirect, but it's safe and it works for her.

I look at it this way: yes, she should be using bookmarks. Yes, she should be able to just remember the site. Yes, she could even write it down somewhere. But despite years of me trying, none of this has sunk in. So I have a choice between continually fixing her PC from whatever hijacked it this week, or just telling her to Google it. The latter is less effort for me and safer for her.

Only mildly funny, but Google updated to stock camera app for android, and if you try to take a video in portrait mode, it subtly reminds you not to:


I've been wondering how much it would cost to have a "square" sensor that has as tall a window to record in as it is wide, so no matter how you orient your phone it would still record horizontally either way.

I once made the most blatant "checking to see if this card works" purchase: a $1.50 cup of coffee, just across the border in the US, at a gas station just off I-5. And nothing happened at all. But my card gets frozen if I buy $5 worth of gas across town.

In their defense, buying only 1.5 gallons of gas is pretty loving unusual.

Meh, it depends. I drive a hybrid, but I also don't make a ton of money, so sometimes that is a week's worth of gas if I'm short on cash.

I generally fill up at the Superstore because the rewards are better. So if I know I'm going the next day but not sure if I have enough gas to last until then, I'll stop wherever and thrown in five or ten bucks. Also with gas prices here I don't think $5 even buys a gallon anymore.

Is that the guy from Peepshow? Christ, he is not an attractive man. I can't even explain why but he freaks me the gently caress out.
E: okay the picture he reminds me of, I'm sure someone knows it, it's like a drawing of a face in just black and white, and it's got like this weird long straight mouth across the face and round black eyes? Also like a couple chins. I have no idea how to google this but I see it in my head and maybe someone will know it from that description. That's what David Mitchell looks like to me.
