Re: What are you thinking right this second?
1112I'm pedantic, I know, but I still don't understand why we celebrate July 4 when September 3 is arguably both more important as the actual birthday of the United States. The signing of the declaration of independence is just a teenager writing an angry note to their parents; September 3 is the day the court emancipated them.

1113Goddamn fucking idiots and their goddamn fucking idiot fireworks. Truly a pastime for the most depleted of nitwits.
Meanwhile I have to deal with a freaked out dog barking.
If only they were powerful enough to just blow these idiots' hands off once and for all.

1114The problem in my neighborhood is firework season starts late June and goes through mid July. You can hear an idiot's mortar at 1AM on a week night. I can forgive one night of tom foolery but why stretch it out and why so late? I used to lose my shit when I had a baby sleeping in the house and those dummies would start blasting.Geiginni wrote: Tue Jul 04, 2023 11:42 pm Goddamn fucking idiots and their goddamn fucking idiot fireworks.

1115USA USA USA. Pro fireworks all the way. I’m more concerned with barking and pooping dogs, which are a year round issue. Also they try to steal my hamburger.losthighway wrote: Wed Jul 05, 2023 12:17 amThe problem in my neighborhood is firework season starts late June and goes through mid July.

1116Yeah my little lady was freaking out last night. I ended up throwing on Northwoods Baseball Sleep Radio at a high volume and it seemed to help calm her down a bit.Geiginni wrote: Tue Jul 04, 2023 11:42 pm Goddamn fucking idiots and their goddamn fucking idiot fireworks.

1117How about they work out ALL of the bugs, first.

Manufacturers have put up a big front on this, saying they know best.
I’m very torn. Users should be informed, but if there is a safety risk with the old software, am sorta on board with the update occurring without the user’s approval.
Actually, I have a lot of trouble with all of this on both sides, and it is what occasionally makes me want to throw it all away and live in the woods.

1118Point taken, and something I’d generally agree with in most circumstances (i.e., software cannot be released until there are no known issues).enframed wrote: Wed Jul 05, 2023 12:54 pmHow about they work out ALL of the bugs, first.

The problem is that in the world of cybersecurity and now AI, you might not know there is an issue until 2, 3 years after the software is released. There will
always be a need to update software as safely as possible.

In my neighborhood it's all black and hispanic people setting them off. Most of LA is like this wrt to fireworks. These days it's almost racist to say those things. Maybe it is.
It's like a war zone. It's non-stop from 730pm to past midnight on July 4. I'm fine with it, it's once a year, well, twice if you count the new year. I have a cat and a dog. They deal with it.
