People who think the 70's were a great decade. The 60's were a great decade. The 70's were the crashing hangover you have when you wake up wishing you were dead, and wonder who the hell that person next to you in the bed is.

Outlook Online's (formerly OWA's) inability to actually block junk email. Mark as Junk, Block, you name it, the same junk just appears again the following day no matter how often you tell Outlook to block it.

I wasn't there at the time but I've found I have chosen to enjoy a lot of music which I later realize has come from the 70s.
It spans quite a range - early to late 70s can cover so many different genres.

But I heard that if you can remember the 60s.....




Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

Meanwhile desktop Outlook gives you an alert when you receive junk mail and there doesn't seem to be any way to stop it from doing so.

It used to be that GMail was good at blocking junk mail. But in one of my gmail accounts I get 20-30 a day of mostly Skandinavian Bitcoin spam. Admittedly it all goes straight into the Spam folder, but I'd rather not see it at all.

So it has blocked it then? I mainly seem to get ones about parcels, enlargements, boner pills, ladies wanting to share photos, casino payouts, tracking my parcel needing payment, rewards from random brand names that arent even in NZ, becoming a weed millionare, there is an odd bitcoin one in there but none of them ever make it to the inbox. I really only look in the spam folder when a password reset or validation link has not arrived. Never anything else legit in there.

My cat, the most destructive creature ever to walk the earth, has found a new way to make my life miserable. It has learned to unplug and hide the difficult to reach power cable behind my desktop and it has also discovered how to disable the HDMI cable, which plugs into a displayport adaptor. Tomorrow I will have to try to design something to protect it.

If it's using its mouth to do it, try bitter apple spray...

Teeth, claws, whole body, all the weapons in its armoury. This is one determined little cat!

There are various recipes for homebrew Bitter Apple you can try, usually with apple cider vinegar as a base...

Aw, I wouldn't want to spoil his fun. He is so cute when disassembling the motherboard. A bit like that gremlin in Twilight Zone.

The number (Over 80% of those seen!) of Uber Eats drivers around here:

 

That park (And leave) their vehicle on a Fire Hydrant, even in an empty Street! Do they think the yellow circle is a parking bullseye?

 

Never seen one stop at the Stop Sign unless there is oncoming traffic!

 

When leaving it's 50:50 whether they will turn their lights on! (When it's dark)

Every decade is a great decade if you want it to be. They are just different.
