You Know What Really Grinds My Gears? Now with 3x more gears...

I hate when you take out your bottle of medicine and then 5 minutes later you can't remember if you took your medicine or not.

Amazon has this commercial where this guy is driving in his car and wants to turn the TV on for his dog's entertainment (I guess it just randomly occurs to him to do this) and he says "Alexa, turn on Sider's TV". I gather the dog's name is Sider. Anyway, my Alexa hears this and turns on my TV, because I have an echo box hooked up to it. It's extremely annoying.

If you're going to have a voice activated product, don't have commercials that activate the product at an unwanted time. It makes me not want to use said product anymore.

Change your name. Try something distinctive like CorsiHockeyLeague.

I use a hanger and keep them out of sunlight and all that stuff to try and preserve them but man sometimes you get these beautiful looking bananas on a Sunday and by wednesday they are already browning and soft. You get a few more days from the green ones but then you have to deal with with a few days of eating the bananas that taste like tree bark.

Luckily they make up for it by having the gross, mushy consistency of baby food, so you just avoid them altogether.

If your job was building widgets it would be build x widgets and a 98% quality rate and perhaps Ensure that maintenance checklists are completed 95% of time. Ensure 12 safety audits are done.

They shouldn’t be the over and above things that if they don’t happen don’t affect the bottom line of the company. They also should be things that the company will appropriately fund and staff.

The goal setting format at the last three companies I’ve worked at specify the goals cannot be part of your routine job duties. 2-3 personal development goals, and 2-3 new initiatives that align with the company’s annual strategic goals - which themselves change every year. Because corporate.

Personal development goal 1-

Support local businesses when buying lunch.

Result:

Crush a 4 pack of craft beer on your break.

Idiot extended family members who signed up for 23andMe because they needed to feel “special” since they had failed to achieve anything themselves.

By selling their own genetic code, they sold half my wife’s, and a quarter of my kid’s.

Predictably, 23andMe is now going bankrupt. So now all that personal medical data will go to the highest bidder.

23andMe is not doing well. Its stock is on the verge of being delisted. It shut down its in-house drug-development unit last month, only the latest in several rounds of layoffs. Last week, the entire board of directors quit, save for Anne Wojcicki, a co-founder and the company’s CEO. Amid this downward spiral, Wojcicki has said she’ll consider selling 23andMe—which means the DNA of 23andMe’s 15 million customers would be up for sale, too.

F-ing Numbnuts.

Whats your last name again?

I can make clones of your children and just release them onto the streets! How creepy would that be?

[Manhattanboy]

When my newsfeed has articles that refer to pictures (even in the headline) and there is no link to the pictures. Drives me crazy.

I think it could be a mistake, mine said that when I was only suspended for 24 hours. Looking at his history seems to be the Israel v Palestine shenanigans got him in trouble.

The Drake had a lifetime suspension and somehow sent me another threatening PM.
