I find it easier to click the scroll wheel and move the mouse foreward or back to scroll up or down… very vast.
I do not think like you, feel like you, believe like you, talk like you, or act like you…
Because I AM NOT YOU!
Most commercial websites list prices in descending order as default. I suppose it’s to encourage you to pick the most expensive item
It’s obvious to me that you should get out of the left lane of the highway and (in-general) not hold people up. This is also true on 2-lane roads. I can find somewhere to pull over and let them by.
Folks don’t want to admit that they are more than 80% responsible for their own frustration in these situations. We’ll sit there and think something like, “that asshole shouldn’t be doing _______ (driving that speed. poor planner. tailgating)”. But we’re not going to change anyone’s behavior (e.g. that guy behind you is going to drive faster regardless of how you feel the world should be structured), and if you think you are going to effect a change you’re either under 40 or one of the dim bulbs on the string. So, if you get out of their way and let them past, you relieve yourself of any assumed stress. And the faster driver gets to go on down the road with less stress, too. Sure it’s a win:win for all involved, but ultimately I am calmer, happier, and safer when I let the faster guy go by. I’m simply not concerned with him any longer once I let him past.
I wish more people would realize this simple fact of traffic.
Just tried it! Cool! Now I can volunteer to be a person who puts chairs away at the end of a meeting without someone saying I am “painful to watch”
A trend!
“Mini rants against idiots” and “Cool stuff that might not be common knowledge”
I’ll give one of each.
Rant:
You would think that people would realize that placing a huge order through drive through at Dunkin’ Donuts mucks things up for the next several people. I can’t imagine trying to order two dozen donuts and a bunch of other stuff from my car window. But they still do it, and yet again a car sits at the window for ten minutes while they handle what appears to be an international banking transaction.
Non-rant:
I was a machinist in the textiles industry in one of the squares of my checkered past. As a result I have a substantial amount of unusual familiarity with the manufacturing processes in that industry. I understand that I am probably the only one who would look at a cheap givaway bag of cosmetics at the mall and note the nonwoven construction, postulating on how it probably was air-blown on a moving screen and heated in an oven to fuse the fibers. I try to keep it to myself–even my fellow IT geeks at work aren’t that dull and boring.
Are you ranting against the customer or the restaurant? It seems to me the person taking the order should ask the customer to park and come inside to pick up the food. That is, the order taker (or manager) may be just as oblivious as the customer (who may just be selfish rather than oblivious).
Your television and computer monitor are set in a landscape, not portrait, configuration. Therefore, on your smartphone, hold your phone in landscape mode for videos and most photos.
I don’t know why vertical videos annoy me so much.
Having worked in fast food in my culinary past … this.
Fucking hell, if you’re hosting a family reunion and decide to feed everybody fast food, come inside!
In fact, if you’re hosting a family reunion, don’t feed them fast food.
Worst drive-thru order I ever saw: 20+ of the same burger from the menu … except every single one of them had special requests, each special request different. So I, being the only cook on duty that night, had to try to keep track of, as I was assembling them … fuck it, I’m not going to try to list all of the special requests and customizations. It was complete bullshit. Brought the entire restaurant to a fucking standstill.
Assuming a 16:9 camera and screen, getting the orientation wrong wastes 68% of the screen area.
Though I’ve seen worse: a 9:16 (portrait) recording, displayed in a 16:9 (landscape) window, scaled to fit on a 9:16 (portrait) screen. Wastes 90% of the screen area…
Exactly, it appears that the black bars on the side take up more picture area than the video itself.
And I thought windowboxing on television was as bad as it could get. At least the windowbox examples are relatively viewable and a good TV should scale image. Your portrait->landscape->portrait combo sounds dreadful.
