  1. The creme de la creme of it is fuck to duck.  But the most annoying is iOS never knowing if I mean well or we'll.  The grammar context is easily there, they do it properly with so many words.  
    We're/ we are
    Were / past tense related to was
  2. I think I voted for that thing for U.S. Congress. 
     
    Despite it being like three fucking phones ago, my auto-correct still subs in "Andorra" for "And/Or."  I text it a lot to my wife like "You want to pickup anything for lunch and/or dinner on the way home from the game?"  Will text a friend, "Coffee and/or lunch next week after dropoff?"  And while I once visited the obscure Iberian micro-state 30 years ago, why in the fuck would that be the default substitute for "And/Or", especially when I follow it with a fucking question mark?  
    Try "and / or".
    Looking at my keyboard...
    WTF are you trying to spell with "appt" or "algo"?
    Appointment
    Algorithm
  3. I was gonna put this in the "Wives & the Stupid Shit" thread but thought it world work better here because it is an equal opportunity test.

     

    *working on the notion that Shag² is probably 95% male populated.

     

    • Hold your hand in a closed fist, bCk of hand up.

     

    • Separately, go to your [wife / daughter / sister / girlfriend / mom] & also separately do this with your [husband / son / brother/ boyfriend / dad] ask them to "Put out your hand".

     

    • Reach out like you are going to put something in THEIR waiting hand & say nothing... watch them react & report back with what they initially say.

     

    Will men automatically assume it is an insect ("Wait!! Is that a bug‽‽")?

     

    Will males assume 'insect' more than women? What about a response of "...Because that is EXACTLY the sort of thing you would do!!"

     

    Report back.

     

     

    *I also contemplates an entire separate standalone thread vs. "Random Thoughts", so... here we are.

  4. My wife has 7 or 8 different shampoo bottles in the shower & probably 5 or 6 of them have less than 1% of product in them.

    Take off the cap, run some water in there, use the dregs & recycle the bottle.

    Done.

  5. "tge" never gets corrected to "the" & I am contemplating the removal of "javelin" because when I fat finger "jave" instead of "have", that word pops up.

    & Then I think "but what if some day I'm writing a post about a light spear dating to nearly 400,000 years ago or a man-portable anti-tank system & I need that word?"

  6. It's amusing that TexAgs is always ragging on Kansas and their wins against us.
    On FB aggy posts / comments, I like to remind them where the LOnghorns were actually IN the "Final Four" conversation & won the B12 championship whereas aggy hasnt even been to the CCG their entire time in the SEC! SEC! SEC!

    It's sorta like when the '05 MNC was won by us & aggy tried to glom onto that by proclaiming Texas "pride".

    GTFOHWTB.
  7. Re: slab, pay attention to the slope of the land. Try NOT to have it too skinny on the "up-side" (high-end of the land slope). Have enough slab so any water running downhill will not wash on top of the slab.

    A 6 inch "turn-down" around the perimeter is common. Don't go cheap on the slab by setting it thin. Think worst case scenario type flood.

    Also, run electricity underground (vs. a swing) where possible.

    • Ø tree falling branches or whatevs to cause damage
    • Looks cleaner, better resale.
    • Note the distance from the eventual far end of the building & discuss with the co-op or a competent & licensed electrician. Typically you get a max 150 ft. before voltage drop becomes an issue.
    • As Clever said, do 120 & 240 v from the start because "you never know" when someone wants to plug in a welder & the cost to upgrade later is crazy compared to up front expenses.

  8. Sure, but now you need to take your elderly mother to an appointment, so she grabs her hang tag. 
     
    Legit use, but can’t log every tag number it can be used with. 
    Guess where I am currently & who I had to drive here + who the hang tag is registered to?cb0d50798d2176e83eca7edd03c98e67.jpg
