Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

Those realatives of mine got me into thinking of getting an eye check up, my mother got new glasses so I scheduled it up, I type it down. My mind is so on fire,
I hate it when I had two appointments really quick at the same time, but my audiologist is like in and out in five minutes or less.
Yeah. I kind of miss out on my friends on FB but they migrated to my Instantgram, Ah my tumblr URL I put on my youtube thing, why does it seem much harder to tell google "Hey my cell is pretty much has all the apps it needs, why are you forcing making me download bloatware?"

No notification number in icon badge

Hmm well uninstalling, restarting the phone, and then reinstalling didn't work.
OK I guess I'll just contact the dev in the morning and see if they can offer any support here.
I did send their Support an email. Given that I'm not a paid subscriber, I'm not sure how quickly they'll get back to me, or what they will offer. We'll see.

If anyone has any other troubleshooting tips, I'm all ears.

Possible xfinity/comcast scam

It this day and age, it does seem more than a bit odd, to receive something and also receive a paper bill. I can't imagine any company trusting they would receive a payment after delivery. The gamble of online consuming falls on the buyer and not the seller. You buy... they ship. That doesn't explain exactly what is going on but the red flag has been raised. I would definitely be contacting the shipper immediately.

NFL 2O25

I have yet to watch a preseason game. The games just aren't serious enough to upstage my baseball viewing. I should watch some... to see the young talent and get some idea of my team's potential this year. I think next Tuesday is when the rosters are nearly cut in half. That means half of the talented players will be outside looking in. They should have minor league football like baseball has. Give the young players a chance to be groomed and perhaps develop into more than a farm club player. Oh well... there is always the practice squad and whatever that spring football league has become. I am ready for some FOOTBALL!

NCAA Men's Basketball 2025

It seems like the big tournament was just over and here it is, mid August already. I'm still caught up in Baseball but I'm ready for some football and basketball. I'll be rooting for the local boys, The Wichita State Shockers, as I can't help myself. I doubt they will every have another deep run in the big dance while I'm alive to see it. But hey, I doesn't keep me from rooting and hoping. I am also a fan of the Kansas University Jayhawks. They are a more exciting team to watch and almost always have a contending team. I'd love to see them win it all again!

E-Bikes

On my third loop I noticed it was dark back in the North. I, once again, checked my weather app and radar and determined that the storm was going to miss me. The front was moving from North West to South East and I was good to ride. WRONG again! On my return loop from the town South it suddenly started blowing cold air from the North. I put the bike in race mode and rode for home as fast as I could. I was only two and a half miles from home when it started raining. It wasn't a blinding rain but damn uncomfortable to ride into. I was soaked by the time I got home. My station showed it had rained just over a quarter of an inch. In less than fifteen minutes the temperature dropped from 99° to 70°. Needless to say, I was shivering wet and cold after sweating my tail off. Just another crazy day on the bike. I'm glad I got home when I did. The front dropped 1.79" before it quit. Not bad for a slight chance of rain over night.
