1. When did a snow storm in your life make you feel like you were in a video game? Video games did not exist to my knowledge at the time but 1978. Looking back it does seem, in memory, to be a unreal experience. The city was toast. It snowed for 3 days and there was over 5 feet of snow fall. The drifts covered some houses and they had to be rescued. The cops called every home in the city to see if they needed to be dug out. The local military was deployed to help people. The city was shut down for over a week. I did not go to school for 2 weeks. We almost ran out of food and my dad was a cop and had to be picked up on a snowmobile to get to work. There where deaths of course and travelers trapped in a motel out of town for several days - unable to get out of the rooms. 2. How are you doing today? How was your day going over there? IT’s the 9th and I’m broke already. This month is going so suck entirely. The weather changed and my arthritis is acting up and I can hardly walk. My fibromy...

Well AMC+ went up again, so I went over to Prime and threatened to cancel it, and poof half price for 3 months. Did the same for the other 2 channels I subscribe to, so I'll save some cash the next 3 months on streaming. Now this does not work constantly, you need to wait 2 or 3 months at normal price to get the discount again, but they do offer it to you. Microsoft Office 365 used to give you a free month every time you threatened to cancel it. Many people where wracking up a free year of subscription doing this. They did figure it out and stopped offering a free month after a while. But I did have it free for some time. Here is what I'll be paying and what it will be after the discount 3 months (Prices are after taxes): AMC+  ($6.11) $12.20 Paramount+  ($6.65) $13.31 Stars  ($3.89) $7.76 BTW Stars is a hell of a good value because it has a lot of nice content to be watched for a low price.

I'm not the biggest fan of any kind of mint in the world, but I had to try this. I got some for a friend, then got another for me to try. Well, I loved it - mostly. Thing is I get headaches a LOT. As in most days I have one, and this makes it worse. Not by a lot, but worse. But dang it tastes actually good. I literally never liked peppermint when I was young. In fact I hated it. I don't know what changed in my brain, but now I like it. It's a bit pricy to say the least, but it is worth it I think. Probably not buying another box, but I do enjoy this one. Rating: 7/10.

Windows has been doing this since XP at LEAST. So you toss a file or some files on your desktop and POOF, it messes up your icon order. You want them to stay the way you put them and you literally dropped the file in the middle of a large blank aria and there it is just under recycle bin and it moved your icons. FFS. How many generations have to live with this before you fix this shit? And don't tell me to set it to "auto arrange" - that puts them all messed up on the left edge in it's own order, NOT my order. I've lost so much time putting things back the bloody way they should be, it's not funny.

This is the new annoyance feature with Samsung phones. See, I port my phone to the PC a couple of times a day to toss video and photos to the PC. But now there is this noise. I have to pull down the notification bad, then click a notification to get this crap - then I have to select transfer images, then give it my fingerprint to prove it's me. Well, I unlocked the fucking phone 30 seconds ago, so it should be me. I honestly think developers stay up at night thinking of how to make it way less convenient to use the bloody UI. This is ridiculous. Don't give me "safety feature" either - how about let me do what I've been doing for many years and just port it and open it like a drive when the phone is unlocked. Sigh. Seriously thinking of getting a Pixel next time. Samsung has been going out of it's way to loose customers the last year it seems. First came bloody UI 7 and it totally fucked the phones up, now this shit. Every update I wonder what will be fucked up...
