Whats rustling your jimmies?

I always use the Windows key + 3 characters to launch programs because it's faster than using the mouse. Been doing it for years and years at this point.

About 6 months ago, Win10 made it so that typing " iExplore " in the search box defaults to Edge instead of internet explorer (which we need for some work stuff). Really chaps my ass.

I'd laugh at using internet explorer, but 90% of the DoD sites i use for work need explorer...

We just have a single program that I need internet explorer for.

Random bill increases. Like the ones they put on your bill after two or three pages. It’s a small notice that says next month your bill is going up by five bucks or so. No reason, no promo ending, just because. I’m pretty sure they only do it just to pump up their profits and hope people are too dumb to notice. I was just doing my bills and had three companies that had an increase. I looked at the previous months statements and of course there’s a notice on it. I called all three and only one of them reversed it back down. Another one kept dancing around different reasons. She was saying Internet prices went up company wide, but then started saying it happens to some people because a promos ending etc. and of course they’re all bills that are kind of a hassle to change if you threaten to leave. Changing Internet provider is isn’t a huge ordeal but the other ones are insurance and home security related.

Geico ratched up about $300 year over year until I switched. Called to cancel and they said they don't apply new discounts unless you call to get them applied. Ended up reducing my premium to below the new company so I'd switch back, which of course I did. All the same, it's shitty as fuck for a service I have never used in 20+ years and fall under the minimal risk category working from home.

I always call or check rates each year for all of my services. Unfortunately services like gas, electricity, and water, or my personal favorite, property taxes, have no competition. Fighting property value to reduce property taxes can reduce my yearly expenses by a couple thousand dollars, enough that another company has even started picking up the slack. "We'll eat the $300 fee if we don't reduce your taxes by $1000!"

Fucking bottom feeding trash billing practices that need regulation out the asshole. And I'm against regulation. But I'm more against predatory trash business practices. Make your service worth the rate, otherwise fuck off.

I get a text notification for any transactions over $50, so I have a visual record of what each month's billing is, even on autopay, for all of my bills. Another mechanism companies will use is the slowly shortened billing cycle. 30 days, 29 days, 30 days, depending on the business day it gets processed, so over time you see the transaction date walking backwards. I want to say Sprint would do that shit. 30 day billing cycle, not "monthly".

Speaking of, the yearly calendar being some imperial style format for billing/paycheck is stupid. Wish we'd convert to a 10 month, 30 day style, with a 6-7 day new years week. And get rid of daylight savings. I mean, we're canceling everything else, let's at least do something useful.

If your tolerance is up there 500mg isn't any worse than 200mg. If you've never smoked or eaten edibles before, 500mg is gonna send your heart into outer space, you'll be unconscious and conscious at the same time. I remember not smoking for almost a year, then ate several 200mg gummies thinking it'd be no big thing... I was wrong. Couldn't sleep for 4 hours, and spent the entire time madly searching through Netflix for something to watch. I mean, I was digging deep into the Baliwood shit. And I never actually watched anything before my eyelids gave out.

My sister got me some THC gummies for Christmas. Anyway she repackaged them in some glass jars and told me they were 150mg. Anyway I ate 2-3 of them, then I get a text and she says "My bad those were 500mg gummies."
