It's always amusing to me when a game has a huge download size but is also an overhead view game and you probably can't even get the camera close enough to the world objects to see the full texture detail.

I can't imagine waiting in a queue to play a single player game.

Whoops, accidentally bumped into your bikes as I walked down the sidewalk they were parked on!

Probably not a bad idea. Google used to be full of tech nerds but it gets more corporate and bland all the time.

I've been using Firefox since Windows XP days and speed has never really been a complaint. Well back in Flash days some sites got janky but that was probably Flash as much as Firefox.

Be honest about what's wrong, that's why you're there. But in a polite way. "Well, my day started off well but then I broke my arm so I'm worse now."

An analogue gauge is useful because you can see the rate of change not just the current value.

They wanted me to know I owe them $74.10. I received that letter instead a final bill confirming I canceled my account on June 13. I was waiting until I got my final bill to just pay them one final time and be done with them.

Long answer, the reason I only want to pay one final time is because it's an old MCI long distance account, Verizon bought them about 5 years ago and it was a shitshow and hasn't changed one bit. They even still have the same recording from 5 years ago saying they were bought by Verizon. I can't pay my bill or manage my account online, my particular account doesn't work with that for some arcane reason and they aren't doing new accounts. Talking to rep usually takes 15-30 minutes on hold, if their phone system doesn't hang up on me. I was able to auto-pay by credit card for years but then I got a new card and their system to accept a new credit card was broken for weeks and every time I called I had to wait on hold for 15-30 minutes only to be told it's still broken. They let you pay by card over the phone but then charge you a $5 fee to do that. Still better than writing a check, I hate checks. I tried my bank's billpay but MCI/Verizon didn't process the payments and sent me late notices, so I gave up on that after 2-3 months. So yeah they are a ridiculous company.

This was on a paper letter. They actually bothered to print no_reply@verizon.com on their paper letter, as a final "fuck you."

Also "Sensitive info", what is that? Fingerprints, social security number, and penis size?

As expected, they can't be trusted. And the more AI evolves, the less likely AI content will be detectable IMO.

I rarely feel like the slowness of a website was due to the browser. I mean .4 seconds or .5 seconds does it really matter? I've been using Firefox since it was Firebird and speed has never really been a complaint. People need to measure and quantify everything.

What appeals to me about Firefox is how customizable it is, and all the extensions.
