furb 05/12/24 7:54:51 PM #10 | I hate menus that open up if you hover over them. They are always in high traffic spots on sites. So you are always going over them and they pop up. Plus if they have a menu within it and you bare scoot off, it closes everything.
Drives me nuts. Amazon site wise is fine but its search results are somehow worse. --- You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues. Then the next day, pierced brains. -Jane Lane |

Topic | EA Sports game developers are so lazy |
furb 05/12/24 9:07:55 AM #19 | I used to buy the nhl games every year. I would try to set the season and rules up to be as close to a real sim as possible for gm mode.
It got to a point where I could not balance the ai. Either I would demolish teams or the ai was a soviet super team. The ai never would take penalties no matter what and their poke checks never missed. You would bump the ai and get a penalty. Your poke checks would always cause a trip. The ai was magnetically able to get lose pucks. Your players would ignore them. It got beyond stupid so I stopped buying them. Plus they kept focusing on the stupid card game ignoring the other modes and the physics seemed to get worse over time too. Garbage I used the sliders but still struggled to balance too easy from too hard. --- You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues.

Topic | Who the hell decided that being called by our last name was "polite" |
furb 05/05/24 10:52:24 AM #3 | it is polite because it isn't as personal as a given name. that's why it is "polite" in general settings; intimate names are for those close to us. It less polite for someone that doesn't know you well to use an intimate name compared to the more general name.
The mr/miss/mrs is a title standing in for the given name which a person either doesn't know or doesn't feel familiar enough to use with you. that's my opinion at least. --- You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues. Then the next day, pierced brains. -Jane Lane |

Topic | Did your parents push you to be outgoing and join activities growing up? |
furb 05/05/24 10:41:37 AM #21 | My parents never had any rules though about how much time I spent outside or how many sports/clubs I joined. I always wanted to be part of things so there was no need to push me.
I played baseball and basketball in elementary school, in the local youth league. I was a waterboy for the varsity football team 6th grade and full time manager for the middle school team that year. In 7th and 8th, I ran track, played basketball, and played on the middle school football team. In high school, I ran varsity cross county and jv basketball for two years. I lost interest in the sports teams though by my junior year and stopped. I still played backyard and pickup sports a lot though. I did cub scouts. We stopped having a troop and there was no local boy scouts. I was secretary of high school club two years and its president my senior year. I still need lots of alone time and I loved video games. So I did phase out activities by the end of high school. It was too much and it ran my batteries down. I still like people and going out, but my energy and interests changed as an adult. I am less social and more independent now. Work and life stress and obligations make me not want to do things with my free time lol. It was easy to find time as a kid when I had no obligations and I had limitless energy. --- You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues.

furb 04/30/24 7:28:12 PM #5 | It's just atompunk If you go watch sci-fi movies from the 50s and 60s, you'll understand. These are futures based on present day societies that had access to nuclear technology but not the microprocessor. The transistors was still new in fact -- it didn't become a thing until after world war 2.
That's the best way I can put it. I don't know the specifics of the Fallout universe but that is how I always explained it to myself while playing the games. --- You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues. Then the next day, pierced brains. -Jane Lane |
Topic | Do you subscribe to Sirius? |
furb 04/30/24 4:44:30 PM #12 | I got a XM in 2004. I've been a subscriber since then. XM was better.
Still, my sat radio is my primary entertainment. I listen to it more than I watch TV. More info XM did music way better than Sirius. I mainly bought it for music. The merger with Sirius degraded many of the music stations and their much wider playlists. Sirius focused more on talk and entertainment stations with famous people crossovers. SiriusXM is so much better than FM radio. However, from a strictly music standpoint, it is not as good as it used to be. They're really pushing podcasts and famous people sponsored entertainment and music branded channels now. Really a disappointment. However, it is amazing for sports. I pay for the NFL package. I get all the NHL games, MLB, and NBA games too. I get a lot from that. I also think there are still a few great DJs left, especially on the emerging music and indie music stations as well. My favorite music blogger ever, Carles (the guy who ran hipster runoff) I found through his program on Sat radio. --- You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues.

There's a sign that clearly reads NO TURN ON RED. I don't know it's there, but it's there. So I don't turn. It flips people the f out behind me sometimes because the light is on a fairly long cycle.
