Those notifications shouldn't piss me off?

They always do. Always!

I'm like, "No, I don't need you to tell me how to turn it off. I turned it on without your instruction. And I turned it on because I don't want you trying to sell me stuff. Excuse me, I have other things to do."

Doesn't really piss me off, but seeing ads for ad blockers just seems strange to me.

Lol, it’s the worst. That’s a big part of why it shouldn’t piss me off.

I had to do a lot of monitoring at work today, and one of our networks was playing a marathon of the show.

lol wasn't mean as a personal dig, just remember it being constantly promoted and I was always wondering "who are they trying to appeal to with this show?"

That I couldn't possibly care any less about the eclipse. I wish I was at least 10% as excited as a lot of people seem to be for it.

To be fair, unless you get to see it at 100%, the effect is just "oh hey it's kinda a little bit dark-ish out during the day, and if I look up with special glasses I can see that the sun's a crescent". I keep going outside to check it out as it gets closer to max by me, but it's not something to go apeshit over.

We had a 90% eclipse this year and I thought it was pretty cool. Even took a couple decent pictures.

Obviously not as spectacular as 2017 when we were in the center of the path.

I was present for a full solar eclipse in the UK in 99.

Went probably 80% dark for several minutes at about 10am. Can’t say it was a glorious experience but I can now say that I’ve seen one I guess, for whatever that’s worth. And I got drunk at a camp site for a week before and after so that was cool

I was in Germany for that one, in the path of totality. Still remember the city was full of visitors from other parts of the country and they had all kinds of concerts/events in the days leading up to the eclipse. Was pretty cool to watch it with >10k people.

yep, in the UK the full eclipse was only in Cornwall which is at the most south westerly tip of the UK. All the campsites were booked a year in advance and it was great fun. 8 hour drive back to London though, for a trip that should take 3 hours

Adding on to this - the European way of doing dates. My wife works for an international organization. She uses the European way most of the time. But only most of the time. So if she writes 5/8/24 I have no idea if she means next month or next summer. Why can't everyone just be like USA#1?

Definitely *shouldn't* piss you off because comma is obviously the correct decimal separator.

Doing month/day/year instead of day/month/year or year/month/day is among the few things that are even more stupid than using the imperial system.

Until recently I didn't even know that the "ton" in truck payload capacity was actually 2000lb and not 1000kg.

The Umlaut is a stupid, boring, pretentious, sycophantic symbol, of genuine idiocy and all people using it should be hacked up for fish food. And their families sold to sex slave dealers in China.
