Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

I used to have it before I went vegan. It's one of the little reminders of my own body telling me "Hey, you're not a carnivore! stop trying to eat like one!"

Yeah I see that point of, but I am alright, once I take my time eating and slow things down.. :)
 
Truth to be told:
Now I have turned off all my bg apps running, so I keep my Moto z 2 turbo idle for that time, so I leave it on sometimes up to eleven hours on accident, mind you, I am somewhat ocd of turning off my cellphones and tablets, oh every four hours, but with the tablet, I tend to leave a bit longer since it does not over heat as much. (Except for when it is charging, something with the usb port itself.. A little issue, but none the less it works pretty flowery), It drains the battery automatically, I do not have any apps open or any of that nature what so ever, usually I automatically turn off the bg apps running, it has been ages since I did read upon moto z turbo, but can you refresh my memory on what I can do to help it have the battery last longer?
 
Sometimes when you take so much time off watching one show, you come to understand sometimes, you give your head canon off, but you cannot remember what you find it in the first place hahaaha :)
 
I really do not like my sister's flossing habbits, hey why not invest in plaquers, it will save you time a ton, and learn to floss in front of where no one does see you as well, or just conceal it with the motion of your hand.
 
Why do I have this... Massive feeling...There is something hard underneath my moto edge plus, that I just cannot get rid of? Like.. A tiny glitch that lines up iwth charging it and sometimes it acts up.. maybe it is dealing with phone over heating

I had a bad week my friends. Nothing, and I do mean nothing, went right this past week. The problems are far to numerous to mention but be satisfied it wasn't a good week for me. I'm hoping that next week will go a bit more smoothly. It certainly can't be as bad as this past week.

Oh? Yeah we get you.
 
Could someone just tell me in blunt English how to tell the Myphonax app to "Have approval with log in,and have to set up the right programs.. Oh also the health as well, make it just right?" I had to deal with it today duration of Easter, but I just left it going, really had to charge my my cell twice today :O Seriously with that (subconscious pattern of charging on 75%, and a bit ago on 77% with the OG charger.. Makes me wonder if it is the hardware that is making it soooooo warm..)
 
I have attempted to turn off my synching before downloading the Myphonax app, several times, the app is probably just listless, the only thing I am massively missing is how it should connect with the health as well as my profile,but when it reaches my profile, all I do get is a few million chrome windows popping up and saying "heyyyyyyyyyy we are going to run at least around 6,000,000 times before connecting to your profile, if that is cool with you...." I even had the location on though, wonder if that is the target..
 
Tonight my PC email reader refused to fetch my mail. I've used a third party mail reader for years called Agent Forte. It hasn't been supported in a few years. It was a great reader of its time doing mail and news groups. It allowed the creation of folders and mail routing as well as spam and junk filtering long before other readers. Now it doesn't work. I highly suspect my provider has dropped pop3 protocol and has gone all imap. My reader doesn't do imap. What a bummer. I'll call my provider to confirm my fears. If my worst fear is realized... I'm really bummed. Changing readers is not a big deal. Being unable to export my saved messages and address book in a format that could be imported into a new reader is the big deal.
 
I tried to sleep, no caffeiene what so ever, all I did drunk was Milk.
Though why the nightmares of my arms feeling way too long though,
I know I try to cover them up when sleeping, felt a little bit sliming in my mind..
 
Day billion and my moto is getting so hot..
How hot is it?
Well it is getting so hot that Hugh Heffner's finally wrote it a contract to star in one of his "films"...
 
Okay call me crazy but in one article I did read it said "turn off your moto device when charging" well if I plug mine in, it automatically puts it back on... hmmm...
 
The only time I ever had to turn a device off to charge it was when it used USB Type-C. That's something that grinds my gears--that Type C mess. Nobody asked for it, and it makes the simple act of charging something a chore. Either you have to plug it in three or so times before it recognizes that it's charging, or it says it's charging and drains as it claims it's charging. Once, as I was trying out a Galaxy A01, the first device I had with Type-C, I went to bed with it showing '56%, charging, two hours until full' to waking up to '18%, Charging, unknown time remaining'

That wasn't the first device using Type-C that did that either. Two walmart tablets, one MacBook Pro, and a set of true wireless buds had issues similar, but mostly having to be plugged in multiple times to start charging. You also don't get that satisfying, confident 'click' you got with Micro USB. It just slides in loose, not instilling me with the confidence it did anything. I wish Type C would just go away. It's literally a solution in search of a problem. No customer demanded it, so no company should be supplying it. Stop fixing what ain't broken.

Another rant about USB. Wasn't it supposed to be well, 'universal' and solve the issues we're facing with multiple standards? Need I remind everyone of the mess USB is? We got type A, USB 2.0, 3.0, USB Mini B, Micro USB, and USB Type-C, none of which are compatible with each other and have entirely different cables/ends. Wasn't the point of USB to solve that mess from happening?! At this point just admit defeat and return to RS-232 and Nokia-style barrel plugs...

Yeah....Lets see I got a type A still for my finite keyboard, that somehow does charge whatever I had it to use originally, I think it was my phone spa, again that is different it is type Mini B type for that to just to charge it and use it as well..
Also how come I do have somewhat plentful of space, but how did I become just a small brutal mistake of not getting in multiple plug in build into one, like my sister gave me one, just off a random day I accidently forgot where I put it.
Also how come when things are universal, somehwat they are not though.

RS-232 was fine as long as you didn't need faster than 115,000 bits/second.

...and as for barrel plugs, well there was no standards, each manufacturer did their own things. And was it tip-positive or tip-negative? Get that wrong, and you likely blow-up whatever you're trying to power or charge...which did and still does happen. Years ago someone gave me an Atari 2600 VCS console that had been destroyed by a wrong polarity barrel plug and power brick.

Oh, I ain't even mentioned how Type-C has tons of messed up standards where two cables are not even wired the same, where plugging the wrong one into your device might let out the magic smoke!

Nokia's charger for the 252 all the way to the N95 was the same charger. It was a standard. Many phone manufacturers had similar standards. Just pick one, leave it alone folks!

Barrel plugs have one advantage, the cord can swivel inside the device, not bend or break or do whatever USB does. Same benefit for a headphone jack. a Type-C adapter (dongle) can still bend/break inside your pocket.

FYI transferring an MP3 via RS-232C would be faster than transferring it via BlueTooth because Samsung's wifi direct still doesn't work! Of course, we could just get USB Mass Storage back but Google can't let us have nice things.

Another thing when you start out with fresh of having like cousins, do you name them just push off friends? or just talk with them all the time, without being that mental block you start to build up from the ground up? They are friends,before others put the lables in your mind.. Seriously.
