    Whatever happened to roses that smell like roses?

    You can still get them.   The problem is they are not so  "Pretty"  as the new varieties and in breeding the new varieties they have lost the perfume.     They have done the same with sweet peas as well,  bred them with bigger, brighter flowers in more colours,  but very much redused scent.

    Non-complaint:  Tuesday mini-adventure is over.  Trash deposited, check.  No prescriptions to pick up.  Two krautdogs for lunch, check.  Picked up donuts(ooh, donuts) from best place in town, check.yes

    Complaint:  Forgot to go to JC Penny's to shop for pants.frown

    Complaint:  Took the road south from town to go check up on repairs to my favorite monitor.  After 4 weeks, she still was unable to get parts at a reasonable price, I said euthanize it and give it an honorable burial. sad

    Complaint: The road south from town is in terrible condition, I thought my car was going to rattle apart.  Won't go that way again until it's resurfaced, (hopefully this summer).

    Non-complaint:  The road west from town (toward the city) is in excellent condition from its resurfacing last fall.  EXCEPT, today they've blocked off about a quarter mile of one lane and are drilling big holes in it for some purpose.  Perhaps fixing subsurface draining channels?  So much for perfect driving surface from town to city.frown

    Hybridding happened!  Not just roses, a lot of flowers that used to smell sweet or pleasant.  Now they have no aroma, or a bad one.

    online medical website will not allow me to login with the correct password!  I wonder if they invalidate passwords every two weeks or every month?  But I would have seen the notice about the website chaning passwords perodically.  ugg.  Now I ask the website to to reset my password.

     

    edit: it looks like they did update their password policy without telling me.  I need to create a new password that has special characters.

    Why must you convert it?  Everything isn't a spreadsheet, don't use a hammer on a screw!  PDF format is universally accessible, for free.

    But what about a pneumatic impact driver?... or the Ronco Screwammer 2000?

    I created this Super-Multitool prototype a while ago... 

    The hammer is a little big, but the tool felt too light as it was...

  • Sfariah DSfariah D Posts: 25,831

    I want a sonic screwdriver!  Wait does it come with a manual?

    On a whim, I went to the last page (out of 1137 pages) of the Commons to see what people were complaining about back then, in this case it ends up being in 2012.  It's funny how different things are now while being pretty much the same. I wonder if anyone remembers now what they were complaining about back then?  Is complaining merely a way to vent something and move past it after getting it out of our systems?

    Three different buses were displaying the wrong sign today.  I almost took the wrong bus three times.  Ugg.

    If you could access the old forums you'd be going back several years farther and things would still be the combination of same and different. ;)

    Ugh... I remember that... The “new” forums were still new... most of it was complaints about the forums not working properly or the store being wonky...

    I still miss a lot of the features of the old forums... like the dark theme or whatever it was called... not needing to post a thumbnail before inserting an image... lots of little things.

    I know some people weren’t effected much by the new forum change, only maybe a few weeks, but for me (maybe because back then I was exclusively a Mac user) the problems made the site virtually unusable to me (I still won’t join PC club because of that), and those problems persisted for well over a year... (like logging me out every few minutes)...  I basically just gave up using the site or participating in any discussions for about a year or so when I noticed the site sorta stabilized.

    yeesh  1st time glad i too vision poor to drive

    Automakers track you down to your weight, collect up to 25 GBs per hour

     

    Modern automobiles collect copious amounts of data ranging from driving habits to the weight of its occupants but this leaves the gray area of ownership and how the data is used. 

    In addition, vehicles also track how much weight we gain, how many children we have and even financial information. The consulting firm McKinsey estimates modern vehicles collect as much as 25 gigabytes of data per hour with much of that data not involving performance and maintenance.

    To make matters worse, drivers often sign away their rights to this information in the small print buried in ownership and lease agreements.

    It’s unclear what auto manufacturers are doing with this personal information, but Ford’s chief executive, Jim Hackett, has already expressed plans to monetize car data. 

    This raises privacy concerns as location data can allow companies to advertise based on where you live, work, and frequently travel to while voice-command technology could prove similarly useful. 

    Even data collection on vehicle operations raises concerns as manufactures can decide which diagnostics information is made available to independent garages  verses what information is available to manufacturer affiliated garages which may charge more for repairs.

    Drivers can’t inadvertently opt out of data collection by not paying as these systems often collect and send user information regardless. In some cases, the only way to completely disable this technology is by pulling the fuse or completely removing the unit as with GM’s OnStar.  

    Until automakers relinquish control of customer data or policy makers step in, drivers are at the mercy of auto manufacturers concerning customer data collection.

    not owning a car makes those spam calls over car warranty particularly annoying.

    don't understand why spam calls aren't illegal.

     new NASA experiment called Veg-PONDS 02, which astronauts just ran on the International Space Station, offers a chance to attain that variety. While the experiment used a food already grown in space — romaine lettuce — future crops could include tomatoes or other plants, NASA officials said in a statement.

     

    Not how i imagined it.  I imagined space farms as smaller death stars

    I don't like the big train station in Washington, D.C.  Signage is poor.  I couldn't find the ticket counter to buy a train ticket nor the entrance to the subway station.  Apparently the renovations on fixed the outside of the building and the food court.  I couldn't find the other platforms for trains that go southbound.  Lighting in the waiting room is a bit dark too.  Fix the train section now!  No more shops and restaurants.  I'm going to take the train out of a smaller station next time if I can.
