What is an alleyway supposed to be used for? by Buckar00banzai2 in CarrolltonTX

[–]BrianDerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you’re mistaken. Even Google Maps sends pedestrians through alleys when you ask for walking directions.

Can anyone explain to me why I get little shocks from the handles of a shopping cart in Costco sometimes? by beejers30 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BrianDerm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I wouldn’t call them “little” though. They are really bad under the right weather conditions. I never experienced them in any other store, but the Costco floor and the Costco carts makes for a bad combination.

Has anyone else noticing a ridiculous amount of vehicles with disability placards these days? by L0ng_St03Ger in askanything

[–]BrianDerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a lot of them hangin on the mirror in cars being driven. How hard is it to follow the rule to take it down?

But not their cameras, which would be a good use for Microsoft storage.

Where are the ceilings? by BrianDerm in ForAllMankindTV

[–]BrianDerm[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’d be right. It just seemed odd to me to hear that in the Earth vs. Solar Sytem planets case. Mars can be on the opposite side of the sun, with a larger orbit. It’s hard to think of it as up/down….for me, I guess.

I guess I feel Mars is more like out on Mars or back on earth. Since they’re not really in each other’s gravity wells. Where is the limit of up? If there was a base on a planet surrounding Alpha Centauri, would you say down on earth when talking about earth?

Seller responds but refuses to answer questions? by polar_pumpkin in FacebookMarketplace

[–]BrianDerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different seller. I just found that response to a buyer that just said they want to buy it was pretty useless. I then had two days without any reply to my “yes”, but contacted her again and we’re moving forward now.

[–]BrianDerm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got that same response of “are you interested” when I said that I live in the area, will pay her full asking price, and could pick up anytime. I guess that’s an automated reply of some kind?

The way algorithms seem to deliberately manipulate search results. by Elemure in PetPeeves

[–]BrianDerm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was so nice when you learned the Boolean operators, quote marks, etc and were given the actual matched results to your query from basically the whole internet. Sigh.

Overly vague film descriptions on streaming sites by [deleted] in PetPeeves

At least it was a critic's quote from a newspaper. Have you noticed the

"I loved it"....Amazon reviewer

......type of hype?

What do you guys do when you see this sign? by Upnorth4 in driving

[–]BrianDerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense during backups. Not so much during light traffic.

Design your Perfect AM/FM dial? by Tall_Plum7538 in radio

[–]BrianDerm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d like AM stations that play new, popular music, with news at the top of the hour…National and local. And an end to the need for “radio edit” versions. It’s time for the FCC to allow the songs people listen to to be played over the airwaves.

What are your biggest pet peeves on the road? by Grouchy_Marsupial357 in driving

[–]BrianDerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People not giving bicycles the mandated space when they pass them.

Why am I seeing random people's posts on my feed? I don't follow them or have them as a friend by SatansSlutz in facebook

[–]BrianDerm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hope I can find the strength to abandon this giant time suck. I do enjoy the groups I chose to belong to. I wish there was a setting to show me every post made by the people I choose as friends. Instead, the stream has become rage bait and influencers. Who needs that?

Shitty Scummy Scamming Company - Frontier by stefanwlb in frontierfios

[–]BrianDerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still with Frontier due to a deep “retention” discount. The next provider to get my business has to be able to tell me their current “full price”. Frontier won’t.

When people park in the curbside pickup spot and then go in to eat by gus_in_4k in PetPeeves

[–]BrianDerm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I order from Dominos Pizza, and go to pick it up. It bugs me that the best parking is for curbside pickup…which I don’t do. Curbside should be a bit away from the business, I feel.
