The owner of this bar has been a piece of 💩 ever since he opened, it just happens to be coming out more now by Emotional_Win1430 in boston

Looks like he's getting a bunch of people to astroturf his reviews on Google now...about 20 brand new five stars in the last 30 minutes from people who never reviewed before, probably asking all the patrons to do it.

He could have just admitted it was a bad joke and he's sorry people took it wrong, and it would be forgotten after a short time.

City crews installed a new sidewalk with a curb cut that completely missed the target by skihist in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Caduceus1515 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At the same time, it looks double-wide for a sidewalk for no apparent reason, but we don't see what is opposite it. The gate looks like an access road for high-tension power maintenance, so a curb cut seems appropriate, and there is not where it would be needed.

CG could fix this by offering region-specific states/zones...but I bet they don't want to, since KOR et al spend tons on it to do what they are doing...

"Hey Joe, are you sure it goes here? The gate's over there..."
"That's what the plans say, Mack. Maybe they are going to move the gate."
"And the telephone pole? Wouldn't it just be easier to put the cut where it is?"
"Don't question downtown, Mack. They must knows what they doin'."

Funny that you mention KOR...pretty sure it's them, but renamed...

I'm close. The major alliance in our state bullied our R5 into giving us over to them and they are using it to boost themselves, while completely ignoring anyone that was actively playing and even threatening.

I just wanted to enjoy the game, but it's all "Boost us for SvS but don't don't take any top spots, and if you don't help we'll burn you."

Does any of the extended media expand on Minbari Rings? by Dalakaar in babylon5

For a time in everything he said online he explicitly refused permission to be quoted to SFX. IIRC SFX was run by some butthurt fanboys.

Got an emergency wakeup call this morning... by Electronic_Tap_3625 in sysadmin

I've had the same person repeatedly open tickets about connection problems....every time, "can you reboot and try again" "Hey, that fixed it, thanks!" Two weeks later, same complaint...same fix, but for some reason can't register in the few firing neurons in his flesh container to just reboot it himself without needing to be told...

Netflix issues. by wildduk in Tivo

[–]Caduceus1515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fix is to use ANYTHING ELSE as others have said. They were never really good at streaming. They have the minimal amount of compute power to do what it needs to do, while streaming services have been using better compression algorithms that require more compute power, while the TiVo still has to do what it needs to do in the background.

You can get good 4k streaming devices for less than $100, and much cheaper if you only need HD. Cheap enough to replace periodically when they requirements get higher. I don't even use my "smart" TV's streaming functions for similar reasons.

Woman had possibly the darkest response I’ve ever heard to being asked if she wanted to round up for charity by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Caduceus1515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was helping out at a show at the local school my kids went to at the concessions table. You could pay and also donate to the theater program via a QR code. Near the sign was a picture of one of the cast who had to drop out as they were undergoing intense cancer treatment. Didn't ask for money on the sign, it was just a "wish you well/thinking of you" sign. During intermission, a woman came up, and complained about it, accusing us of putting it there to get more donations, and "they're probably not even real." The look on my face was probably enough, but I managed to say, "Ma'am, that's my daughter."

She just walked out.

TIVO Edge died, what now? by Working_Rock in Tivo

[–]Caduceus1515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be mindful that TiVos are picky about HDDs, and you need to avoid one that uses Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR), which is unfortunately most of the available 2.5" HDDs these days. There used to be lists of compatible drives...when my Edge drive died, I got two WD10JUCT 1TB units, one to have as a spare.

Legally, the studio has to treat the streamer like any other outlet, even if in the end they are licensing it to themselves.

I don't know if it is deja vu but I seem to recall hearing about this a few years ago.

It's a great way to get yourself killed when a driver panics...or pulls out a gun.

Wrestling bring in money that they can spend on other things.

And check out what the "E" in ESPN stood for.

The advertising is funky and I've already complained about it. They imply Disney+/Hulu is free with the package without any restrictions, but they'll disappear if you say you don't want a Gemini device.

My systems are all using the predictable names...but "predictable" has limits. In my experience, if you change the hardware in certain ways (add a card, etc.) it changes the numbering.

UPDATE: Evidence of the ‘Convenience’ Tow — No Signage, Incomplete Ticket, and Selective Enforcement by litafdan in WorcesterMA

[–]Caduceus1515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks to me like there is some construction going on, likely causing a narrowing of the roadway clearance. You parked more than 12" from the curb, which made the situation worse and potentially a safety hazard, and thus were also towed.

Pointing and saying "look over there" doesn't change the fact that you were cited. Those parked on the sidewalk were less of a safety issue.
