I have a oneplus 8 pro running the oxygen 11. In most ways it meets my needs but there are a few shortcomings.
The worst and most annoying, which I deal with daily, could be resolved quite easily. What is it? Do a search for ‘am’ or ‘pm’ in settings. Did you find it? No? Keep searching. It has to be there somewhere.
Why does it matter? It’s 8:14, 46 minutes to rx time. maybe. If it’s 8:14 pm it is, 8:14 am is a different matter. Hard to tell the difference this time of year.
Why do hot dogs come 10 to a package when hot dog buns only have 8 to a package?
That’s annoying.
Why is it that Duracell claims 10 year shelf life for its batteries that will likely leak after two years. That’s annoying.
Why is it that a 2 x 4 is really 1.5 x 3.5 inches. That’s annoying.
I’ve stopped watching TV, commercials chased me off. It’s not just the amount but especially the volume as they are so much louder as the program: I simply refuse to be shouted at this way any longer!
There are 24 hours in a day. Most of the world works with a 24-hour clock for good reason. Military, hospitals, laboratories, probably all critical infrastructure, all for good reason work with a 24-hour clock. You likely do have that option in settings. I’m not sure but I suspect if you install the Google clock app you’ll get a.m. and p.m. unless you turn on the 24-hour clock.
Lingering, persistent annoyances:
Led Zeppelin did not release an album in 1972. A whole entire year almost totally gone to waste.
The names of the days of the week and the names of the months have zero current cultural significance. Why can't they be named after classic rock stars or small, friendly, furry animals, or birds or flowers or the worlds tallest mountains or famous nuclear physicists?
Healthy food has insufficient binding to the dopamine transporter.
The earths' axis is tilted too much. 15 degrees would probably suffice. 23.5 degrees is way out of line.
Carbon is too boring of an element for life to be based on. Fluorine or phosphorous based life would have been more exciting.
The ability for people to have empathy is way too low. If this sense were as well developed as the visual sense, that would have been great.
The speed of light is too low. It would be nice if we could travel fast enough to get to the edge of the universe in 46 hours, instead of 46 billion years.
Traffic and the Idiots that are on your bumper only to get around you to be on someone else’s bumper
- People who come to an almost complete stop half a block before the red stoplight forcing me to apply my breaks earlier and harder. (under good road conditions, not in snow or something)
- People who tailgate at highway speeds virtually guaranteeing a pileup if the car ahead of them has to suddenly apply their brakes.
- Companies discontinuing their best products because some bean-counter told them the profit margin on it wasn’t high enough
- Film trailers that advertise a significantly different experience than what is on offer
- Film trailers that spoil every good action scene and/or joke in the movie
- Films that are escapist in nature (fantasy, sci-fi etc) where I keep getting jerked back to reality by overt references to real life sociopolitical controversies. Just let me be immersed! There’s a huge difference between subtle allegory and beating people across the face with it like a 1/4lb hotdog.
Haha that’s almost exactly the same as one of mine and I didn’t see yours before I started writing.
Bumper sticker: Sorry I am driving so close in front of you.
Bike riders
Let me start with this;
I do realize there are 2 kinds of riders, “Guy on a Bike” and a “True Bicyclist”
The True Bicyclist you can pretty much trust to hold his/her line and have situational awareness, so that is much appreciated.
However riders that ride 3 wide then at the Red light they fly onto the sidewalk and cut the corner turning right and then jump back onto the roadway. Not cool.
I am very considerate passing bikes, give them 5 feet and don’t cut them off as I remember the horror when I rode as a Kid.
What gets me is they say they have the same right to the road (Which is very true) however they do not want to obey the same laws of the road. I.E Stop signs, Red lights, One way streets, etc.
If you dare question them on this you will be called a bike hater, azzhole or worse.
My point is if they are truly riding to be healthier, would it not make sense that they burn more calories and have stronger legs if they stopped at the stop sign and had to resume cruising speed?
I respect their rights right up until they become a road hazard.
Next Peeve is the aggressive 4WD jacked up pickup trucks (Most that never even go off road) driving like Jackalopes and the worst ones always seem to be Rams for whatever reason. Your area may vary on that.
How they get away with wide tires sticking way out beyond the fenders without Johnny Law citing them is beyond me.
Not even going to get into the “Rolling Coal” crap, whatever, if it makes your schwantz feel bigger then do what you have to do.
Later
I absolutely HATE Duracell. I’ve had numerous remotes damaged by leakage. And I even made the terrible mistake of having a Duracell AA battery in a Master Replicas collectible prop… which leaked and then made a mess of the finish. I sent photos to Duracell and documentation around my experiences. This happened for Duracell batteries (AA and AAA) over a good 10 year period. I’d had only 1 leakage with Energizer batteries. So I switched. Duracell responded to my inquiry with “Gosh, we’ve never heard of this before. So sorry. Here’s a coupon…” WTF? Amazon reviews are littered with complaints. They just don’t give a damn. Never again.
Just avoided disaster last week with 2 Duracell AA’s leaking into my TV remote. Got them before they trashed the springs/board.
Replaced them with Eneloops even though it feels like a stupid use for them I know they won’t barf acid like those junk Duracells.
Had one AA explode the end cap off sitting in a box one time, sounded like a 22 short round and at the time. I did not know where the sound came from, found the culprit about a month later.
Never again.
smelling weed all day long - on public roads - is everyone driving around vaping stinkweek juice!?
dental (un)insurance
traffic (atlanta)
of course the guy who complained FAKE NEWS the loudest, is the biggest purveyor
it;s always that way, the preacher that rails against adultery, is caught with the drag queen naked - ‘’projection’’
I want a Bumper sticker that says — Yeah I already know I suck at driving
and one that says: Caution: Sometimes I drive like you do.
It’s funny you mention Preachers — I passed by Jimmy Swaggerts former church complex this morning — He had the world by the horns
