2 Rants in One

 

So it took Shaw Help 36 hours to get back to me in a PM and I was just passed on to the chat thing. Well I could have just done chat if that's what I wanted. I'm paying for the 600Mbps internet and seem to only be getting 200Mbps. My PC is wired and it was clocking in at 580Mbps and now it won't go over 200Mbps. Kind of pissy about that. I have done all the things it says to do and don't really want to spend 2 hours on chat on my phone with them trying to get it fixed. I'd obviously have to use my phone as if I used the PC they would drop me when they went to reset the modem or what not.


Samsung pushed out an update to my A50 and now it does not know the word "form" and several other words it used to know. The stupid thing is, in the suggestions the word comes up just as you see it above and yet it's underlined in red as misspelled. It also seems to have erased my learned words. Speaking of learned words, it used to be you long tapped the word then selected add to dictionary, now it just ads them even if you have messed up the word 20 times in a row, it just thinks it's correct and ads it after a while - to predictive text that is, not spelling. Sigh. There is literally no way to add words for spelling to the dictionary. I tried to use Gboard (Google keyboard) and it will NOT let me have the dictionary for Gboard set to the default for the life of me. Every time I plug in the phone to charge, it sets it back to the Samsung dictionary and it will NOT work with Gboard. So I'm literally forced to use their broken keyboard and dictionary (with no user dictionary).

    It was getting a lot faster so I got no idea. The thing is my phone was getting 300 and now only 200. So its got to be the modem.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
