General annoyance (933 views, 95 replies)

I started this so I could complain about the way I've recently noticed that videos are being shown on some venues. There's a screen, and it is blacked out on each side, and you get a little tiny sliver of the video that you want to see, between the blacked out sides. Maybe 1/3 of the whole area is used to display any film, and 2/3 bracket it. It's annoying as hell to me. It's pointless, absurd, and irritating. It moves ny focus from what's going on in the middle, to the sides. It defeats it's own purpose, if it's purpose is to focus you on whatevr media is being displayed.

@FemaleLotRfan83 People ask me If I have alergies, and I say no...but them I notice that my eyes are usually watery, and burning, and my nose is usually running...so I guess I do, and just never gave it any thought!
@bondojoe Those are general signs a person has allergies or an allergic reaction.
@FemaleLotRfan83 have you tried to use ucalyptus oil perhaps? the oil is great to help clear up sinus problems and provides relief for the nose.
If you have coconut oil as well it can be mixed and rubbed on the chest, may provide some benifit in these times of allergies.
And i wear a face mask if i need to hoover or dust something where loads of particals will go up the nose once disturbed, eyes its more tough to keep out of though, talking in the past though as i don't really get anything except when one of my family spreads a cold, they are ill for weeks, i am better in a day, food comes in there also to how much your immune system handles reactions and how affected more some can be than others.
I used to suffer real badly when the pollen was high i always used to streak at the eyes and stuff, but i had to have a pollups or something removed from me that caused me to suffer more than usual
@Egor17 it boils down to if one can handle the eucalyptus, there is a thing as allergic reactions as always is the thing to keep in consideration, but generally it is ok for most people, and any medicine on a shelf is all derived from plants of all sorts.
It is used in a wide number of uses according to some sites, most of what is heard is all good for eucalyptus and used also beyond just flus or colds.
don't hear much about the bad sides of this but then thats a few thatare not suited for eucalyptus............for then something like honey would have to second reccomened then, that is also rather good for ailments, organic kind anyway
@KiaZi not sure i have heard myself anything on consuming eucalyptus, only heard to rub some on chest with coconut oil, for consumption mega health you need the pond water tasting powder of Chlorella, that stuff is super healthy on a regular routine, even reiki crystals/pendants to un-block ones Chakras can have a big impact on health, some even have to remove crystals from themselves as they feel so ill, but most do not realise its the crystals that are attempting to remove those blockages, lost my obsidian skrying stone though and the orgone that i wore,

@KiaZi 50+ years and not a single allergy. Eucalyptus is a great cleaner and a few drops in hot water makes a great vapour for blocked noses. Just saying it should not be ingested or used as a skin cream.
Much better as a household cleaner than bleach. Makes your bathroom smell nice too.
It IS highly toxic, don't believe me? try drinking some.. NOT. Really.. Don't.
@Egor17 I'm not saying to drink it and as always it comes with the usual if too much is taken than needed then some reactions do occur, but its mostly external, except for the inhaling of the steam fumes, personally i am an external person with oils, even coconut, superfood powders is more my thing.
And yes on medication and discuss with a doctor is always advised.
@FemaleLotRfan83 That's interesting. In Scotland as a kid in primary school every one was tested for allergies. The nurse had a strange gun looking thing with at least 12 needles. Pressed against your arm. Not sore. Next day your arm was looked at to see what you were allergic to. My arm was a bit red for all of 10 mins.
For years after when asked "What are you allergic too?" as though that was the normal. I'd reply "My little brother!"
@Egor17 We don't have that here in the states or at least not in Texas where I went to elementary, middle, and the first year of high school.
@FemaleLotRfan83 Didn't you get the sugar squares ? Made you immune to a lot of the killer diseases like polio, rickets and the like? How about BSG injections as a teen? Me being non allergic didn't get one. Every one that did it left a scar on their upper left arm. Mostly girls. It was said then it was against TB
@Egor17 No, not where I went to school. Maybe other districts and states have it but not in my state.

@lilsiren yes,the IRS--DID YOU KNOW,many yrs. ago,in Oregon,tax-payers started a "Tax-Payers Protective Assn."and the IRS got the leader,dumped him in prison,.he never got out?(that we know of.)the Asson, disbanded.This was during the 50's.He worked for himself,and the IRS said,he's doing tax-crime.(no proof of that.)We figured it was "Big Brother is Taxing You!"--very awful.
@clarachan1355 we do know,the IRS HARASSED right-wing political groups,badly,but that was in the news.--Recently.And it WAS deliberate harassment.

Bandwagon jumpers annoy me. Football for an example. A man here in town has an outfit for whatever team is ahead in stats. He maybe a packer today and a cowboy tomorrow. He has ateam coat for every superbowl winner I swear he does. That and back stabbers are my pet peeve

My last watched does not update itself properly anymore, sometimes i just hop to different movie pages to upvote other peeps but my last watched to me does not update properly anymore, this has been a general annoyance for the last few days last watched was Artemis but showing a film i have not even watched, just voted on a comment from that film.
Thought perhaps this may of been cause for a seperate forum thread but this is an annoyance at the moment as the last watched is not one that is showing up even checked myself from view of others friend list i am on and not showing other films i click onto, bugging me
@bondojoe Eugene Oregon has some of the worst left-wing hate you'll ever see-cause its super-liberal here.You can't smoke,wear perfume,or scent,not be a vegan,or buy yer food in a big grocery store-(instead of the "producr market"or,use plastic bags in grocery-you bring yer own.The GUN CONTROL LAWS ARE SO BAD,they are a joke.(and uninforcible.)You can't be "not politically correct{"about anything!!the cab drivers are so bad(ultra liberal)you can't say boo,they get HOSTILE.YEAH,HOSTILE,P.C. and hate-filled.I stay away from most of em.they're nuts!The Temple here loves Muslims(YES,jEWISH tEMPLE.)We can't sell our places,otherwise,a lot of us would have left.(no-good real estate market.)it was invaded by CA.freeways everywhere.the AIR IS TOXIC.LOTS OF CRIME,NO POLICE.
@clarachan1355 Im sorry for you. We're trying to stop the rest of America from becoming like that.

@mrkim56 The music video section gets on my nerves, because it's so slow...but I guess it's my fault. I loaded it up with so many music videos, that it takes ten minutes to load them all. People like you send me a video, and I never get to see it. We need a special section that can handle the load.

What kinda connection are you on? With the 100mb service here it loads in about 30 seconds. It would load faster for ya if we only placed links there instead of the actual youtube interface/link.
@bondojoe Someone in the countryside in the UK wanted a faster connection, but they would not do it unless they payed something around 20odd thousand pounds just to get the wires in that area or something, some just play the waiting game, eventually you get a free upgrade or they eventually run the service for better speeds in the needed area.
@bondojoe Want?? I stopped wanting a long time ago. Though a bit of a laugh is an unfillable bucket. As long as it stops before peeing yourself. Done and seen that a lot. Funniest is a middle aged women trying to be serious. Through her laughter. Carefull! It's infectious. Lots of pee may insue. Seriously. I've seen OAPs being infected. The clean up is not desired.

Yeah mine is on our shops service, which is about $130 a month. If it were a residential service it would be about 1/2 that. But, I live here in a spare office at our shop, so it's essentially free, like my rent, at least to me.

No firestick here but there's usually at least 7-10 browser tabs open, a firewall program, system monitor and at least 3 if not more HD and external HD browser windows open. Then again I'm runnin Ubuntu which is much less a resource hog than is a Windows OS :>)
@mrkim56 And consider that Ubuntu is probably the biggest resource hog of all the Linux distros. If you want to take advantage of all the Ubuntu apps and repos and run a faster, less graphic intensive OS, look into Lubuntu.
@LesStrater Thanks for the heads up but having tried various other distros I always end up coming back to Ubuntu. Having run it for 12yrs now I have a pretty good feel for what I want and need as far as software offerings and can rig out a fresh install in a matter of a few hours with what I know works. Sounds kinda like a Windows users excuse huh? lol
@mrkim56 Hey, I'm with you 100%. My main system is Debian, but I usually recommend Lubuntu or Xubuntu to new users because a lot of people panic when they see the Ubuntu Unity desktop. Those two distros also run well on older XP machines.
I backup my entire system every morning so that I'm free to break it without causing a major problem. Using FSarchiver run from a boot CD, I backup the entire partition in 8 mins and restore it in under 3 mins.
@LesStrater Yeah I have never run the Unity desktop, just flat out can't stand the layout, much less the circuitous navigational differences. Still runnin on 16.04 w/a Cinnamon desktop environment these days.
Seems like the coolest thing they've done is set things up where users can DL the distro to a USB and run live w/out having to do an install. Letting potential users run a system without wiping out their current OS 1st makes it a no brainer for people to check out Linux.

People!
Mostly the ones that have no idea how the internet works. My computer runs at about 4Ghz. I have a fiber optic to machine from my ISP. Great, ye. But as soon as I access any content, it is only going as fast as the slowest link, like a bus in traffic. Example; 50MBs to the satellite up link, depending on what else they are doing, slows. then there is the down link, then does the subject country have fiber? And then there is the ISP on their end? and then the computer mine is talking to?
Only as fast as the slowest link.
But still, I can have 5+ movies down loading while watching another.
There are still a lot of old servers out there running at 56K.
So my real annoyance is my lack of patience.
Err? What is a Firestick in computer terms?
@Egor17 There's lots of potential bottle necks in what's moving in or out of a machine, that's a given. Some moovies will show up as DLable in a matter of minutes, while others can take hours to DL, even with both being of similar file sizes. This relates to the speed of the server on the UL side of things, and depending on the type of service one has can also relate to how many other machines are ridin the same bandwidth train with the DLer. Hell, even the time of day factors in in this part of the equation, lol.
There are also potential hardware bottle necks within as well as outside of ones own machine that factor into the equation.
Even if you're payin for 1gig FIOS service you'll never get anywhere near the potential of that service if you're runnin a modem, router, or switch that can't process that same amount of incoming data.
Lastly your OS, processor speed, number of cores (hyperthreaded or not?), type/speed and amount of RAM you have and even down to what type of internal capacities your motherboard, and HD cabling are capable of throughputting also factor in to what can come or go in a system, though admittedly to a lesser extent than parameters regarding the incoming/outgoing signal capacities ;>)

@Egor17 It was a mature woman. And it was REALLY common in County Mayo. I've found that County Clare is different, thank goodness. Not so insular.
@Egor17 Oh, the annoyed people I encounter were everywhere there, not at the chemist where I bough some face creme (so not smelly stuff, and not a beauty shop).
I've actually stood up for clerks that are clearly doing their best and dealing with long queues and people complaining about prices. Ugh, those people are just ejits.

I already do. Do you mean I don't have to pay the ISP? Stopped paying telephone companies about a decade ago. And there are heaps of VIP services that gets around country specific blocks.
Tis the internet.. Watch what you want, when you want.

Na Bondojoe, I mean for real in real time. What if you could make it purple with flashing green spots? Would he be taken more or less seriously? Do you remember the UK prime minister Thatcher? OH to be able to that to her before her second term.
Now. Thatcher! That sheb**ch was a real annoyance.

@RandomOne LOL! I read a lot of articles that say half of the people hate Trump, or Kavenaaugh, or men, or whatever. But they fail to point out the fact that that leaves HALF that DON'T hate them. If you only hate humans one day a week...ytou're WAY ahead of everyone!

Other general annoyance is when my browser crashes on me like it did a few minutes ago. I hate my browser sometimes.
@FemaleLotRfan83 Mine crashes almost everyday. I have it overloaded, and have no patience!
@bondojoe It shut down on me 4 frigging times in a span of minutes. Normally it just does it once.

mine freezes ....usually when i have little time to waste....like when i got 30 mins before i have to go to work..

all the modern appliances are JUNK.my fridge was $700. on sale,new,its been literally falling apart,curse Frigidaire. 
.NONE of the microwaves last past 3 to 5 years,My computer screen,and tv screen are junk. 
(My old Hitachi computer screen lasted about 25 yrs.)I can't buy an "air-popper"for popcorn,i have to use a 30-yr.old.good motor.I am not buying a new stove yet,cuz my old Hotpoint(must be 25 yrs old(all the stoves' reviewed are all JUNK.My Cuisinart blender is junk,made in China.I bought a new vcr-cd player,is junk.failed,I don't use it.My computer is old,cause engineers told me,"the new computers are cardboard".I will have my old one upgraded.Thank God I don't have a car,or drive any more.
If China's economy fails,so will ours,but I would laugh to see it happen. 
I went online,to ask cook professionals,"which convection oven should i buy?"they said,"all of em are bad,"hah hah.--professional chefs say that!! If my old air-popper fails,I do it the old way;a little oil,in a covered pot,shake it over the burner,it makes popcorn.(I don't like microwave popcorn.)BOY, WOULD I EVER skin and kill an executive from Frigidaire!!--or do it "the Muslim way." ---not joking!! you realize, this is a true sign of"Civilization FALL." only, it'll be everywhere on earth(except for some Scandinavian countries,which still make THE BEST SEW MACHINES,but they cost a fortune.we're all going to be using bow-n-arrows,wear rags,use wood fires,wash our clothes in the river on rocks,,kill our own food.oh,and horse & carts like the Amish.--witchcraft will be back for"medical services."(Eugene has that now) 
I think this is way past an "annoyance."--more like--preliminary to WW3."
@clarachan1355 I understand...believe me. But that stuff HAS to break down, so people will buy NEW JUNNK! Keeps employment high!It's planned that way. You wouldn't want to deprive someone of a job...would you? LOL!
