        When attempting to plug a USB driver into some sort of device with an ambiguous entryway, I'm often 1-for-3.

        Let's do a stupid hypothetical one. Let's say that in a sequel to Pulp Fiction, they open the film up with a suitcase that his an illuminated yellowish bulb inside of it.

          I would still think Pulp Fiction is a great movie. What's in the case (or any other sequel revelations) has no bearing on that to me.

            To me a bad sequel makes the first movie even better. Makes me appreciate it even more. That's just me though. For me there is no way for a sequel to make a first movie bad.

              I read/misunderstood it wrong, my bad.

                This new captcha stuff is really getting annoying. Gone are the days of "enter this series of characters" like A5n5g3 and so on. Now you have to click on the images matching what it asks you. Like "select all pictures with cars in them".


                What makes it frustrating is that once you select a picture, it loads a new picture, so you have to keep clicking until none of the pictures you need to click anymore. And despite that being the case so often, it says I'm wrong and I have to go through a whole new series again. It might even say "select all the photos with a road sign". It's nothing but an empty road with a stop sign, so I click the stop sign and somehow that's wrong.


                Sometimes I can be going through several of these before finally getting through, it's so annoying and takes too much time.

                  It's the worst. Some aren't even obvious at all. Like there might be a black cat in that shot too, which might be a "sign" of something else.

                  Obviously joking there, but seriously some of them are really hard to distinguish and make out. I guess computers are just getting smarter and smarter with CAPTCHA. I'd rather keep bots out than let people in honestly.

                    I clearly click the only box that needs to be clicked and somehow I'm wrong.


                    I don't know what classifies as part of the picture. If there's 12 boxes and 99% of the sign is in 1, and a pixel or two is in another, do I select both those boxes? I've tried everything and nothing seems to be the proper way. It's luck at this point that it might take 2-3 tries vs 10-12.

                      Y'all really have that much trouble with the images? It takes me about 10 seconds to click through and I'm good

                              I had enough trouble with the typing the characters ones when they would have all sorts of extraneous lines and splotches throughout them making some of the characters nearly illegible.
