You Know What Really Grinds My Gears....The Sequel!

[puckluck2]

The picture quality on anything over 70" sucks. The 80" at Costco looked to be of projector quality anyways.

One more gear grinder. My sleep cycle being messed because I stayed up until 5 in the morning on new years.

My buddy has a projector in his basement, I think it's about 100". We play NHL and Madden on it and it's glorious.

Guy behind was returning a 90" flat screen and lost his argument too.

Was your mom the person that you were arguing with?

Reading the comments on CBC, especially the anti-vaccination crowd comments. The ignorance and stupidity is maddening

I use a Firefox plugin called Ghostery, which limits ad trackers and things like that. One of the side effects is that it also blocks comments from a lot of sites (including CBC) unless I enable them. It prevents getting unintentionally distracted by the stupidity after reading an article.

I'm all for opinions and debate, but online news comment sections really are a sad, pathetic echo chamber of misinformation and zealotry.

Press the home button again, it closes back down and respawns again. I want to punch my phone in the face for being so defiant.

This has happened with my iphone 4 a couple of times, just keeps opening and closing until it stops. Strange

Probably been mentioned at some point but those damn pop up bubbles on youtube videos. Loading 3000 goddamn stupid pop up links on your youtube video makes your video unwatchable and I don't want to click one every 3 freakin seconds to get rid of it. Some they hide in the upper corner so you can't get rid of it, makes me want to beat them to death with a very dead and stiff skunk!

Canker sores. I seriously get so many. Every time I bite my lip/cheek or the toothbrush slips and gashes my gums I know I'm in for 5-6 days of pain and difficulty eating, drinking, and brushing my teeth.

I have decent oral hygiene as well. Just always get them whenever something happens in my mouth.

btimbit's suggestion works well if you have a YouTube/Google account and remain logged in all the time. If you don't (like me) you will want to add the browser extension "Ad Block +"
Once that is installed you want to open it and goto "filter preferences" -> "Custom Filters" -> "Add Filter Group" title this new one whatever you like, I go with "Youtube" and then in enter this quote without quotation marks "||youtube.com/annotations_invideo*"

Edit: another good Youtube browser extension is "Youtube HD" I have it enabled so all videos play at the highest HD setting possible and all videos play double size automatically.

There is some thought that it is stress related. Not that it will help much as it is tough to eliminate stress in one's life.

There's a reason why she tells you that, but let's not get into it here...

Sorry if this has already been posted but you know what SERIOUSLY grinds my gears. Driving on deerfoot, ######bag in the left lane going like 100, alright it's all good, I'm in no rush and I do not need to tailgate the guy, even though theres a truck tailgating the crap out of me. However, what just made me go insane was slow ######bag has no idea how to drive and is leaning more left and therefore hitting huge piles dirt that go flying at my car. Not only do I have massive rock debris coming but I can't see anymore because all I see is dirt. I keep flashing my beems buddy has no idea whats going on. Finally I'm able to cut him off, give him a nice glare and he gives me the "what did I do wrong look" with his large aviators. Like come on how do you have zero clue you are driving into the shoulder of the left lane and shooting out dirt behind you. Think he did it on purpose?

It GMG the amount of times I've read the word truculent since Burke has been hired. Yes, he says it. There is no need to repeat it every time someone hits a guy. It's equivalent of the Budweiser Whassssuuuuuuupp guys already.
