When you download a few episodes of The X Files on Disney+ to watch during commute to the city and realise they've swapped S0609 with S0610. The descriptions are wrong. This is all wrong!

That my office computer always defaults to print to pdf no matter how many times I try change it.

Ok I use cetrix to get to my desktop but it seems to happily remember the 3 different network printers I occasionally need to send to but never sticks the one I use 99% of the time.

And why when I try to change the printer is the window listing available saved printers only two lines high so I have press the right arrow 3 or 4 times to move across column of options I never use..

People complaining about their freedoms and covid when I know once it gets in my work life is going to be extremely unpleasant and stressful for many many months judging by the personal experiences of friends and colleagues working in NHS.

Great you can go out to bars and I will watch people die.

Companies that think that Completely Blocking a Cycleway is OK! (0830 this morning!)

Wasn't even delivering on this side of the Road!

Yes I did complain to the driver (Who couldn't give a st*ff!) And had to leave a voicemail for the Company concerned!

Not to threadjack too much, but how are they to watch today?

Still like it. There's so much sex going on that I didn't notice on the first run. So many actors that appeared there first or very early in their careers, including a teenager Seth Green, Black Jack, even James Pickens Jr. (Grey's Anatomy Dr. Richard Webber) appears as Director Kersh. Also seen Joel McKinnon Miller as a deputy (he plays Detective Norm Scully in Brooklyn 99) and Silas Weir Mitchell (who plays Monroe in Grimm) - those two in the same episode.

Some stories are weak but the majority makes good watching - better than some modern series.

Kind of reminds me of spotting before they were famous types in Hill Street Blues - Tim Robbins, Cuba Gooding Jr, Linda Hamilton, Dwight Shultz (The A-Team), Forest Whitaker, Don Cheadle, Lawrence Fishburne, David Caruso, James Cromwell, Danny Glover etc

I can apparently get stuff from Amazon US in about 6 days but it takes about 6 weeks to get stuff from JB HiFi AU.

I think that says more about Australia Post than anything. They are taking ages with all the lockdowns. Same happened last year.

They took ages anyway. 2019, ten days to get something from Adelaide to Melbourne.

It's obviously a difficult situation, but Australia Post do seem to be on the erm, lethargic side.

I've looked at Amazon AU, but they never seem to have what I want or not for decent prices. Generally that would be movies (eg JB HiFi AU have buy one get one free at this very moment), or big HDDs.

Hearing that if we in Auckland go to level 2 on Monday the borders will still be closed - and there are people like the Destiny Cult planning to have anti-vax/anti-mask protests in the weekend.

Waiting and hoping all day that the Bunnings by my office that I ordered something I was hoping to use over the weekend, would be able to have my order ready before I left for the day, to find they emailed me about 3 minutes after I left work.

Now I need to make a special trip or wait a week to be able to use it next weekend.

Is there a rule in the Universe that states drains will always block after 6.30 pm on a Friday before a weekend?
