Post your random thoughts, questions, ideas here... I'll start
1) Have you ever watched America's Funniest Videos and wonder why the winning video is almost NEVER funny AT ALL?? We were watching some older episodes on Disney Plus and the final 3 videos are always stupid and not funny, and the worst one ALWAYS wins.. WTF..
2) How have cereal bags NOT been made with zip lock technology??
3) They need to make a container that can keep to-go french fries from getting soggy...

I actually have... surprisingly, the rejections were more positive rejections... as in not personal, more they were already in a relationship with someone and thanked me for the invite.
Downside for me to do it IRL is only women I have encountered are at work. I'm very careful about that though because you never know what would happen.
My bank account is showing either one or two incoming Apple payments and I don’t know why, but I don’t like it. I’ll have to call the bank tomorrow and find out what’s going on.
Incoming as in you're getting money? Reminds me of the time I got $700 sent to my PayPal account from someone that meant to send it to a different Govey (their email is similar to mine). I reached out to them out of concern to make sure they meant to send it to someone else... the person supposed to receive it responds with a demanding attitude to send it back. No thanks for reaching out or any form of politeness... I looked them up... supposed to be some kind of executive in New York or Baltimore... can't remember exactly where. Go figures. LOL
Yeah, as in I’m getting money. 2 of them for $92.67 each. It’s oddly specific. I called my bank and the guy I spoke to had no idea what was going on. I did end up doing some research after I posted and I wonder if it’s part of some class action thing from a few years back. I seem to remember there being some stuff about iPhones and batteries and Apple throttling something or another, but I don’t remember if I did anything with that. Apparently I did.
Seems like a high amount for a class action suit too. Most of the time those end up being $20 payouts or less for anyone who isn't one of the main plaintiffs or a lawyer for them.
Is it from Apple themselves? Or is there a buyer (or seller?) name attached like with Paypal?
They say ‘IN RE APPLE INC PAYOUTS’. When I called the bank they didn’t know what it was about. That does look like something official. I don’t know. A class action lawsuit is all I could think of, but yeah you’re right in that those are usually miniscule. I’m going to keep an eye on my account. I don’t need anything dumb happening.
I was going through my dvd collection and feeling a little nostalgic and a little annoyed about the time when felt like every single DVD movie was labeled as "special edition" even when there weren't any extras or anything.
Aw crap, my Ys IX is ps4. I have the limited, keeping it sealed. Went to buy the deluxe... Fudging GameStop wants $11 for shipping on a $40 game? What in the actual hell?
Bought a PS4 over Xmas holiday from a pawn shop. Store couldn't get the update to work, so they were selling it "as-is" for $60. All I had to do was buy a USB drive and download a file and bam! Works great. Well, I still need to put a game in, but it boots to the main menu! Now I can finally test these five PS4 controllers I have been sitting on for years...
My sister is driving through my area tonight and I’ll get to see her for a little bit. I haven’t seen her in like a year and a half. She’s driving from Nevada to Philadelphia somewhere, picking up a friend who’s going to be moving to Vegas and living with her, and then driving back because the other person’s car didn’t start.
My sister called me yesterday, mad that I didn't call to check up on them. Apparently the ice was so bad she couldn't go to work for a week. (Her family lives in a home on a hill, cars were rolling downhill and a tow truck got stuck in a ditch.)
So, it rained really hard in SD. We only got a tiny part of it. My bathroom got flooded, more water damage from the drains not working, getting overflowed by all the water crashing down from the neighbor.
Word to wise. When you're in your 40s do not consume the hottest possible food when your local franchise restaurant is offering insanely hot food as part of "hot week" and everything is made with "Devil Sauce".

I never understood and still don't understand putting a hot sauce on food that overpowers the taste of the food itself and actually causes physical pain.
The company I worked for hired a guy who had already retired from another job. This guy wouldn't eat anything that didn't have some sort of "hot" ingredient. All of the sandwiches he brought from home had jalapeno or some other "hot" cheese. When one guy went out to pick up fish sandwiches at Captain D.'s, he put shrimp sauce on his sandwich instead of tartar sauce. When the company had a meal that included a crawfish boil, he sat at the table eating crawfish with the various hot sauces provided all night. I thought I was joking when I said it, but I now I firmly believe that he had burned out his taste buds and needed a hot ingredient in order to taste anything.
I like putting hot sauce on stuff and making things spicy. I don’t want to overtake the taste of the food I’m putting the sauce on, but accentuate it. Eggs are boring. Cholula helps make eggs less boring.
I'm not the man I used to be. Have always loved super hot stuff... But nope, I'm old. I was surprisingly impressed with how hot this was. I get hot stuff everywhere and criticize... No big deal. This stuff, Oooffff, went right through me and now I live in a world of regret.
Oh, it was amazing. I finished about 90% of it... Had some fun follow ups, haha. Thank God for immodium! Christ I'm old. Still won't slow me down from doing it again!
