Random thing you loathe right now.

I thought when Edge first came out it was Microsoft proprietary code and then they converted to a chromium based version. Not that it lessens in any shape or way the loathe about constant updates, just curious.

I want to re-watch Wonderfalls, Suburgatory and Grounded for Life. Not streaming anywhere.

Having more than you can ever watch is not the same as having everything you want to watch.

I do have two of the three on DVD, but I would need to 1) unhook my Switch from the TV and hook up an old DVD player and 2) find the DVDs in the boxes of stuff stored in my closets.

Random story but I bought the UK versions of the Blu rays several years back during an Amazon sale, and they included codes to redeem streaming copies on Vudu. I redeemed them all successfully... except for the first one, because the US Vudu doesn't offer the Philosopher's Stone.

I tried twice to get them to fix the issue and both times they left me hanging.

That's not physical media's fault.

pandemic time dilation in effect, they're actually early

God dammit. The Be My Eyes app, which lets people help vision impaired people see, is changing their terms of service, now requiring users to agree to being recorded.

So they can feed AI.

Last month I'd been working for my current employer for 5 years. First time I've actually managed that but whatever.

I had an email telling me to check the company awards portal.

It's just a message. "Congratulations!". Nothing else. No points to spend in the awards portal.

You know how the grocery store has those bags of irregular vegetables on sale for cheap? I bought a bag of those cute little miniature sweet bell peppers for snacking. They weren't labeled of course-- the bags just have a generic "irregular vegetables" tag-- but I took a little bite from the corner of one to make sure they weren't spicy before chopping them up.

I was on the verge of throwing them in a pot of odds-and-ends vegetable soup before thinking, you know what, measure twice cut once. I popped another piece in my mouth. Must not have bitten deep enough to get to where the spice lives the first time, because this was, not overwhelmingly spicy from just the one little piece, but too spicy to comfortably be eating raw, let alone throwing the whole bag that I'd just chopped up into the soup.

Right around then, I felt a little spot on my face start to burn. Oops! Must have touched my face while chopping!

Okay, no problem. Stripped my gloves, washed my hands, washed my hands again, washed my hands a third time, plenty of soap, okay, this should be fine, now I'll just splash some water on my face to get rid of whatever I got on there and oh god oh god this was a mistake oh god oh god

The sunburn feeling all over my face passed after about an hour. Next week I will have homemade hot sauce that I have purchased with pain.

Man, I got surprise spicy in my EYES last week. Was terrible, do not recommend.

I feel your pain. A lot.

I worked at Subway 3 decades ago and got a bunch of jalapeno juice on my hands. Must not have washed it off because soon after when I went to take a piss...

Mistakes were made. Regrets were had.

-BEP

Gahhhh that sounds terrible.

I heard thirdhand about how that happened to my niece's boyfriend, but it happened when he was trying the "one chip challenge". He was not having a good day that day. His mom was called to his dorm room and all modesty was tossed out the window

According to the guy who invented Carolina Reapers, milk is not the best choice for fretting rid of capsaicin. Instead, use citric acid, which apparently breaks the capsaicin down quickly.

I think that's part of why the manufacturer pulled it off the market.
