Does anyone know where Paul Giamatti is being driven in those stupid VW celebrity accountant adverts? Did they write a really bad taste ending where he gets murdered and buried in the desert and their PR and legal folks wouldn’t let them run it?

I feel like this is taking up way too much space in my brain, but now I need to know.

I hate the bit where he walks up to the hotel desk and says "Have you seen my client, I'm his accountant" as if any of that is useful information.

Washingtonpost.com has up a red BREAKING NEWS banner on the top of its page letting us know that Siegfried from Siegfried & Roy just died.

I think that the Washington Post really needs to change the standard for what it considers "breaking news" until at least the inauguration.

Looks like Samsung has dropped microSD card support in the entire s21 line. I'm pissed. I have a sizeable portion of my music collection on my phone right now. Not sure I want to pay premium for a larger capacity phone when it's free thanks to the microSD right now. Likely a lost customer. I might just get the S20 (I have a 9+ that's starting to wear down).

That blows. One of the reasons I like the Galaxy series is because I don't have to pay a bunch extra for hard drive space - I can buy it as I need it at a lot lower price.

SI

Ksyrup · 01-14-2021, 11:42 AM

Exactly. Looking at my storage right now, I'm over 200GB on my microSD, so combining that with internal storage, I'd be pushing or over 256GB to start, So if I switched, I'd have to get an Ultra since that's the only one with a 512GB option.

Ksyrup · 01-14-2021, 11:50 AM

That said, I'm looking at the Samsung pre-order deals and I can get $450 off ($350 for trade-in and $100 for AT&T financing) plus $200 Samsung credit for ear buds, or a watch, so that basically makes the Ultra 512GB less than $950 plus $200 to spend on something else.

these days, the term "gaming chair" tends to denote a specific type of office chair with a leather or faux-leather build, a high-back race car-style seat and colorful patterns. Also if you you want to complete your gaming rig setup then i have to say that you have to buy a high refresh rate gaming monitor which will help you to get the most out of a gaming. a good gaming monitor will help you to get the most vivid experience ever.

Going through some old data CDs, I found the following that I thought was worth sharing:

Quote:

The following came from an anonymous mother in Austin, Texas. THINGS I'VE LEARNED FROM MY CHILDREN...
1. A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 square foot house 4 inches deep.
2. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.
3. A 3 year-old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
4. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a superman cape. It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by 20 foot room.
5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using the ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
6. The glass in windows (even double pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "Uh-oh," it's already too late.
8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9. A six year old can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36 year-old man says they can only do it in the movies. A magnifying glass can start a fire even on an overcast day.
10. Certain LEGO's will pass through the digestive tract of a four year old.
11. Play Dough and Microwave should never be used in the same sentence.
12. Super glue is forever.
13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool, you still can't walk on water.
14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15. VCR's do not eject peanut butter and jelly sandwiches even though TV cmmercials show they do.
16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18. You probably do not want to know what that odor is.
19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on. Plastic toys do not like ovens.
20. The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5 minute response time.
21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earth worms dizzy.
22. It will however make cats dizzy.
23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

Random Jon fact: today marks the first time I've ever put any sort of case on my cell phone.

New phone, reasonable price on a basic case, I figured it was worth a try. Cheap enough that if I find myself hating the case, I'll just trash it.

Are photo albums still a thing? I am not talking about the albums in the Cloud that we are not actually go through. I am talking about the photo album your grandmother used to pull out to show you pictures of your mother or father when they were children. I went through our garage this weekend and found some of the albums my wife and I have. Looking through them, there is a clear cutoff point of when my youngest son turned about three (2010/2011) where we just stopped printing out pictures and putting them in album books.
Of course we have the pictures but they are up in the Cloud. Are we just passing the Cloud passwords down through the generations?

cartman · 01-25-2021, 09:29 PM

I haven't posted anything recently about my uncle. Doctors still have no clue as to a root cause. He is definitely mentally diminished. When you ask him questions, if he responds, it will be in one word or short phrase answers. He was recently moved to a new place, and they were strict about visiting procedures. Two hours max, and must have a negative COVID test within the past 10 days. He liked holding my phone, and tried to scroll through pictures on it. I was able to get a hold of my cousins while I was there, and they both got to FaceTime with him.

But apparently their COVID protocols weren't strong enough. I just found out a little bit ago that he tested positive today. So I more than likely have it now too. Self-isolating and will get tested again in a couple of days. But I'm worried about my uncle. He is still really, really frail. This can't be a good development.

thesloppy · 01-25-2021, 09:32 PM

Jeez, what an absolute nightmare. Hope everything works out as best as it can for your uncle & you, cartman!

Not much beyond wedding albums afaik.

It's a fair point and, yeah, ditto on the distinct cutoff point on physical photos.

So, this is apparently a deal in the archiving community.

A friend of mine has worked at a couple of smaller museums and there's a lot of talk about how to archive things for the future. Being a museum, they're very long-term thinking about these problems in a way that the average human just isn't. Like if you're cataloging stuff all day from 200 or 2000 years ago, you're not rushing out to just store stuff on a hard drive, technology that's only 50 years old. There's also the EMP problem: back in 1859, there was a solar flare that caused all sorts of havoc and, while it probably wouldn't wipe out solid state drives, might wipe out the technology we used to power them (Carrington Event - Wikipedia.

I mean, these are people that look at the way people have stored data throughout history and what has survived and what hasn't and think about with with regards to their own work. I get they love digital as an indexing tool, but there's no substitute for the real thing (artifacts, I mean).

SI

PilotMan · 01-25-2021, 10:13 PM

My wife still gets photos printed all the time. She is a bit of a photo hoarder though. She lost all her photos from when she was a kid in a house fire, and now she takes, keeps and has them all around. She changes them out constantly, but doesn't keep them in an album really. All of them are semi-organized on the home server. I'd say that the last time that we really put any sort of album together was when the kids were little and she was scrapbooking.

One of my teenage son's told my wife, "I went looking in your room while you were gone." and the Mrs said, "not my problem, if you find things you weren't expecting that's on you." But yes, we have actual printed photo albums of sexy photo shoot and modeling sessions my wife has done in our room, among other things. They can't possibly be shocked at this point.

In a prior post, I said Thomas Magnum shouldn't be doing reverse mortgage commercials. I'll add also Joe Namath and his Medicare commercial.

At least with Magnum, I feel that I can trust him. With Joe, he's like a used car salesman and truly cringe worthy.

I am talking about the photo album your grandmother used to pull out to show you pictures of your mother or father when they were children. I went through our garage this weekend and found some of the albums my wife and I have. Looking through them, there is a clear cutoff point of when my youngest son turned about three (2010/2011) where we just stopped printing out pictures and putting them in album books. Of course we have the pictures but they are up in the Cloud. Are we just passing the Cloud passwords down through the generations? __________________ "The blind soldier fought for me in this war.

Doctors still have no clue as to a root cause. He is definitely mentally diminished. When you ask him questions, if he responds, it will be in one word or short phrase answers. He was recently moved to a new place, and they were strict about visiting procedures. Two hours max, and must have a negative COVID test within the past 10 days. He liked holding my phone, and tried to scroll through pictures on it. I was able to get a hold of my cousins while I was there, and they both got to FaceTime with him. But apparently their COVID protocols weren't strong enough. I just found out a little bit ago that he tested positive today. So I more than likely have it now too. Self-isolating and will get tested again in a couple of days. But I'm worried about my uncle. He is still really, really frail. This can't be a good development. __________________ Thinkin' of a master plan 'Cuz ain't nuthin' but sweat inside my hand So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent So I dig deeper but still comin' up with lint

She lost all her photos from when she was a kid in a house fire, and now she takes, keeps and has them all around. She changes them out constantly, but doesn't keep them in an album really. All of them are semi-organized on the home server. I'd say that the last time that we really put any sort of album together was when the kids were little and she was scrapbooking. __________________ He's just like if Snow White was competitive, horny, and capable of beating the shit out of anyone that called her Pops.
