Rants etc.....

Walking kid to school this morning, vehicle turns the corner and parks just a short distance in front of me. Hmm that looks familiar... oh its the vehicle that hit me and totaled my vehicle in December. Still being driven around with even more extensive damage than my vehicle had and it was worth less to begin with. No "damage reported to police" stickers on it or anything else either. Struck a bit of a nerve that early in the morning, thankfully didn't seem to recognize me because I didn't need that confrontation.

Microsoft or Google aren't playing well with each other again. Outlook.com is malfunctioning and freezing up Chrome. it's been doing this for several days now but I didn't realize it was Outlook until I cleared out all my recent history, cache, etc. and loaded up Outlook as the first site. Chrome went haywire, so terminated the Outlook tab and everything started behaving again. :mad:
 
The other day I watched something happen here. People are allowed dogs in this BC Housing building, and one woman has a small yappy dog that she lets run around without a leash. It runs out into the yard barking at other dogs and people as they walk past.


Well, the other day she did the same thing, but this time another person in the building—who I think is careless as well—had what looked like a Staffordshire terrier–type dog, and he also never has his dog on a leash. When his dog saw the small dog barking, it went after it and grabbed it, shaking it like fighting dogs sometimes do.


The woman freaked out and started screaming. She grabbed the larger dog, which released her dog. Her small dog was screaming in fear and ran away. She went back into her place with her dog bleeding and was blaming the other guy who owns the bigger dog.


I’m not sure how badly her dog was injured, but honestly, I don’t blame either dog—I blame the careless owners. The larger terrier-type dog should have been on a leash, and the small yappy dog should have been on a leash too. This whole thing probably wouldn’t have happened if they had followed the rules and kept their dogs leashed.
part of me ant to make a formal complaint to the BC housing management

My 50 Bradford was installed last year, we are very happy with it. I would say watch the hot water cause under the same setting as our old unit, the new unit's water was way hotter, not sure why, but it was crazy hot.

My new one at a bit over medium is hotter than my old pos at max.
 
ugh. I just falled and go boom.

wife bought a chair off Facebook and I was helping bring it up the stairs and miscounted the stairs so when I thought I was at the top, tried to take a step back and hit the missed step. landed on my butt, bounced (cause I'm a fatso) but damn that jarred my back, neck and sciatica. <_<

Absolutely atrocious event audio at the HFX Scotiabank Center!

Took my better half out to see Celtic Woman and felt like somebody should have a few cross words with their sound engineer, but apparently the venue is infamously bad overall so he/she was probably doing the best he/she could do. :(

Ouch, yeah those kinds of falls always end up hurting more than you think at first.
 
Well, this sucks. My cat has had some health problems lately, we had to up her medication 2+ months ago. It caused her to stop eating, so we backed off on the meds. She seemed to be getting better, then all of a sudden she stopped eating 2 days ago and she was getting a little sick, so we don't think anything too bad, more of a setback, we think. But on my way to bed ( cat sleeps with me ), I check her ears for cleaning and to our shock, all her skin is yellow, i.e., jaundice, really bad. I asked my wife what her chances are, as she rushes her to work to find out what's going on. My wife's reply wasn't good: "98% chance she won't be coming home. Liver failure.

Not a good way to end the week. We saved Wynx 11 years ago. She always blinked one eye when she was stressed out, hence the name. She had a great life and we love her dearly. Fingers crossed, but not looking good.

EDIT: Wife just called me, Wynx/cat is in full liver failure, she won't make it another day or two at most, so were putting her to sleep, don't want her to suffer. Sucks, she was a very good girl who will be missed.😭

Smarttube has been absolutely terrible for me since last update. Skip a sponsor, takes longer than just watching it. Often it also just crashes when a video is over.

EDIT: Will try VP9 decoding insteaad of AV1 for a while and see how it does. Does seem better.
