I didn't get a phone call at all. I only found out because I checked the tracker online.
 
Prolific keeps giving me the same survey again and again, even though I can't do it (requires webcam) and I keep clicking "not interested." It's making me frustrated because every time I get a notification I think it's a survey that I can do.
 
FedEx has absolute top notch service, at least for me/my area. I missed a delivery by ~5 hours because I was at work, called the number thoughtfully posted on my door and the driver swung back around and delivered in like 5 minutes (she was still in the area)


FedEx sucks for me. They can never find my house. The house hasn't moved in about 60 years now. But somehow anyone trying to find it by GPS ends up in the wrong town.

So they're basically incompetent. Definitely go to their website and make a complaint. There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for this.
 
Every other Wednesday I run a meeting at work, where we present incoming fraud trends and looking for deviations as part of strategy building.

Anyway, my boss' boss has asked me to start taking and distributing minutes for this meeting starting today. Ugh I'm a Vice President, not his secretary. How am I supposed to run this and take minutes at the same time??
Listen to Cardi B on repeat until he starts writing down your minutes.
Wow. Talk about escalation.

But, yes, I agree, and I also think this should be a Dilbert episode.

USPS once marked a box as 'delivered' even though it actually went to a different zip code...
 
:twitch: Firefox suddenly decided, mid-session, that several extensions e.g. containers suddenly don't work anymore. And this wasn't after an update+restart.

It also means that it is a boring brutalist pale gray.

Firefox quit working for me a few days ago, after ABP started giving me pop-ups about itself. Deleting ABP didn't work, so I had to switch browsers.
 
AdBlockPlus has rather gone downhill. I switched to Ublock a long time ago.

Same. Apparently they screwed up some security thing for their addons and now the browser has decided the best course of action is to literally break every addon.

I found instructions for how to fix the issue here:

Also, with my adblock disabled, Holy Crap, I didn't realize before just how crazy over-saturated every website on the internet was with giant intrusive ads until now. How the hell does anyone browse anywhere without layers of adblocking software and some other assorted addons and enhancements?

They all do it sometimes. Their computers route it wrong, and the carrier doesn't look close enough. USPS is most reliable for me. I've had FedEx drivers call me, if my number was on the package, and ask how to find my place. Like I say, the house has been in the same place for 60 years now. It should be on the maps.
 
ublock origin ;)

I once had a Walmart driver call and ask how to find me. I asked, "Where are you now?" and he said, "The parking lot."

We have two parking lots here, and unfortunately the back one that doesn't have the intercom system is the first one people see when approaching this place from either the north or the east or coming up the hill from the south. Sometimes they just don't think that they should enter the main parking lot that actually has the sign with the name of the building.

Anyway, I informed him that he would have to get out of the truck, come to the lobby, buzz my suite, I would buzz him in, and he would have to bring my package to my suite because I was not going to come and fetch it myself. I pay for delivery to my home, and my home is not in the lobby.
 
There are rockets raining down all around my house, some at very close range (possibly within 100 meters - a neighbor reported having shrapnel rain down on her house). My brother apparently lost the key to our shelter, but my mom is trying to find us something. Feeling rather mortal right now.

That's a design mistake by the Mozilla crew, I suppose, but it's meant to protect imbeciles, which unfortunately means most computer users. Yes, there really are people who install unverified software or who use their work computer to do an image/video search for woman-big-tits…

But onto the issue at hand, I find that this is a better link. You can install the fix that Mozilla proposes without having to enable Studies.
Wouldn't have found it without you, Mr. chox!
