I would've selected these:

That's exactly what I did, and it didn't work.

Is the first one a street sign?

And do poles count as a part of the signs?

Yeah, that's because the CAPTCHA people know that a robot presses the buttons in a different way than a non-robot. I mean, that's the whole point, right?

Thankful OS didn't have captchas when I registered


Lets test it out then. Here are 2 pics I got. Which squares should be selected?

I would've selected every box that contains part of the sign, including the posts/poles the sign is attached to.

...Am I a robot guys? Isn't that something a robot would do?

I just don't know anymore.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I'm not sure if many of you all have to do this unless you're teachers, but I hate filling out electronic forms in Word that don't have entry boxes and instead just have underscored lines to fill in. Every time I type, it shifts the underscore. I have to delete the remaining lined stuff to revert everything, then I have to underline my own text, and the underlined text and the underscored line are broken apart. It just looks like a wonky, unprofessional mess, and it's tedious to do.

For those who recommend I use the overwrite function, it still doesn't much help because every letter character is thinner than a single underscore, so I'll still have to apply the width fix for formatting purposes. I can possibly at least initiate an underline that way though, but if I want to fix/re-type something the insert feature will just shorten its breadth even more.

I have had just as many problems (and occasional success) with both methods, both selecting the poles as part of the sign, and only selecting the sign. Over the last year or two have done a ton of these, and the main "puzzle" that tells me i am wrong us the sign puzzle. Sometimes when i see it is the sign version, i just quickly click random squares just so it will move to another set which usually works. I came to the conclusion long ago that the sign puzzle is broken because it tells me im wrong more than the others.

However i have tested this with different browsers and i have discovered that the browser i use even has an influence on this. There are some browsers i will not even attempt these. Others get me in within seconds.

Yeah, almost getting hit by lightning sucks. I am much more skittish outside with lightning in the area then when I was a whippersnapper. Almost been hit too damn many times. Like hair standing up on your neck/everything goes white kind of close.

Man, when a storm is approaching and you have that moment where the hair on your neck stands up... that's terrifying. I've been mocked and humiliated before for feeling that sensation and dropping to the ground and rolling like I'm on fire. Well screw you jerks, someday it'll save my life and I'll mock your charred remains!

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

I'm glad I'm not the only one

The first day back to work after a vacation.


...especially with the next several days being the "fireworks or firearms" guessing game between us and the public. Ah, what a time to be alive.

It's so annoying in our neighborhood FB groups this time of year. People complaining that their dogs hate the fireworks, people asking if it's gunshots, etc.

Getting new sales software at work. I don't have an issue learning new software but its pretty hard to learn something that doesn't work.

I witnessed a near disaster in my parking lot tonight. Guy was lighting them off, then let his girl light off what appeared to be a bucket of fireworks. She lit it wrong somehow and the whole bucket caught fire. I'm watching from my window thinking I should run out there with a pail of water but fortunately the guy was somewhat prepared and doused it himself. I feel like that could've gone a lot worse, I can't believe everything in the bucket didn't explode, instead the little fire just sat there until dude put it out.


fortunately they called it a night after that
