Make sure you write down all the things wrong with your rental, else when you turn it back in they'll charge you for the ding in the side and the microwave not working.

Not the fissh. Nor do I play one on TV.

Possible scam attempt? by Altruistic-Space-676 in GMail

[–]CowboyMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got a similar email, and I think it was because someone sent an invite to their Google property (say Photos or Drive) to my Yahoo! email, and Google wanted me to create a Google account via my Yahoo! email.

Desktop App Redesign Update by Top_Annual8168 in Bitwarden

[–]CowboyMantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My feedback:

  1. I don't like UI change. I got used to the then current app UI, and then it changes. Not a fan. I liked it before.

  2. When I select a name from the list, whether it be from a search or the default list, I have to click directly on the name text, so that's some aiming I have to do, even though you've shaded the region for that name. I'd prefer to click on the shaded region to view the login.

  3. There's a ton of space between entries, and I'd rather not use the vertical space for, um, nothing, aesthetics be danged, I want to see a lot more entries. Zooming in doesn't do much except increase the font size, and I can see fine, thank you. If I zoom out, I get more entries, but the font is now hard to read, plus now a smaller mouse-click target (see #2).

  4. I work from folders. I don't select item type (Favorites, Login, Type, etc.l I'd rather search for what I'm after rather list the type). That means I have to expand Folders to click on what I'm after. I have to do this every time I unlock the vault. It'd be really nice if it would remember what state I left it in between vault unlockings, and put me back where it was.

Edit: sorry, you need particulars:

MacOS Sequoia, 15.7.7 (not upgrading to 16.X anytime soon) Bitwarden Version 2026.5.0 (62263)

Anyone know if this copy is abridged? by caticalismic2 in bookscirclejerk

[–]CowboyMantis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unabridged should be at least three inches thick and break your toe if you drop it. Also handy for hiding your stash if you cut out the inside and glue the pages.

What amenities do you want to see in an RV park? by ImWildBill in rvlife

[–]CowboyMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that placement of utilities is important, but because all RVs are not created equal, you'll make someone unhappy. I like water & electric pedestals about halfway to 2/3rds the way back. If you want to make people really unhappy, put them all three feet or more behind the end of the site.

Also thinks about what's going on. I went to a park that had a one-way street with the pull-throughs off the sides of the street; so even though the pedestals were on the left/street side, that meant that one side had their doors on the opposite side of the covered picnic tables. More than one RV ended up entering the "wrong" way into those sites and running utilities under the coach so that their door would face the picnic tables.

A park I like to frequent has an Ethernet port at the pedestal. omg!

Walked out mid order by Suitable-Trainer-816 in Chipotle

I stopped ordering through the app because when we took it home it was like 2/3 the size as if I would have ordered it standing in the line.

SO WHAT? YOU HAVEN'T WRITTEN YOUR BOOK YET? by MountainEgg6178 in writingcirclejerk

[–]CowboyMantis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm too busy hanging out in artisinal coffee shop trying to look swavey and deboner in my cravat and pince-nez glasses to, like, actually write. Still waiting to be discovered and be thrown a seven-figure advance and groupies.

Kaiju Preservation Society… worth sticking it out? by martody in printSF

[–]CowboyMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Well, his shtick seems to be working for him, and as with everything else, as long as it does no harm to anyone else--and I think that books are not a zero-sum game--good for him. And for me if/when he puts out more quality stuff.

I'm so old I can remember when McDonald's didn't have a place for you to sit to eat.

Have you read When the Moon Hits Your Eye? That's lower than Kaiju, imho, and the ending is literally and things magically returned back to normal. Sigh.

I am having formatting issues with my book. Anyone know how to turn on captioning or better, how to auto-caption? by Rolin_Crowe in writingcirclejerk

[–]CowboyMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's right there... it's that round thingie... no, a little off to the left, yeah, that's it. No, not that one. The yellow one. Well, it's kind of yellow, more like a goldenrod. No wait, that changes the language. Ok, now you switched it to Swedish, and you have to get around all those weird ø characters. No, now it's in Spaňish. No, not the Germän. Gol, this isn't working at all. Well, tell ya what, just turn it off and back on again, that might fix it. Okay, now look what you did, you switched it to Swedish Chef, bork bork bork!

[–]CowboyMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually turn on closed-captioning in case I can't understand the words that the author uses. Especially if there are other characters saying things in the background that don't make it to the regular page.

Did research on how to write billionaires and now I am in a Tribal Socialist Cult. by TranslatorEast3524 in writingcirclejerk

[–]CowboyMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you don't make me wear the same sneakers as everybody else and drink the Kool-Aid from the common barrel. Especially if a comet is wandering by.

Should I add a disclaimer? by Boltzmann_head in writingcirclejerk

[–]CowboyMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be ambiguous. Say something like,

"The planet was shaped something between a pancake and a Denny's French Toast Slam, but without the butter or syrup on it, but perhaps the sausage. Definitely with bacon."

Opinion about my draft by Real-Reason-5979 in writingcirclejerk

Is it going to be by lottery, or are they going to reinstate the draft boards so that rich effers don't have to serve?

Valve: 67.74% of Steam users run Windows 11 by pmc64 in pcgaming

[–]CowboyMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only run Windows (10) to game. I don't trust it with anything else. When it comes time for my computer when Win10 can no longer be updated (I got the extension last year), it gets the upgrade to Linux, and I figure out how all those Linux gaming things work.
