Just had to go through the process of using the product insurance on a tablet I bought a year ago. The insurance cost was $99 on a $400 tablet. It fell from a height of two feet onto a carpeted floor and the screen detonated like a hand grenage.

Multi-tasking is not always a good thing
9:24 am
rururocks

I couldn't multi-task to save my life
9:25 am
MollyL

I don't get the division of attention. Obviously, one thing is going to suffer.
9:26 am
rururocks

well .. it's only a game who cares really
9:33 am
MollyL

No, I meant about multi-tasking in general.
9:37 am
wingding

carla, phantom malt ... i'm busy w/ work, so haven;t looked here in awhile
9:50 am
swmbo

I multitask all the time. Doing laundry, making bread, knitting and listening to an audiobook. All doable. Morning all!
9:50 am
BzznBea

I have not had enough coffee yet or this grid is not an easy one.
9:51 am
swmbo

Babble though I do not multitask.

10:04 am
rbud

women are better at multi-tasking than men, I think - I used to talk on the phone, watch kids, cook dinner, do dishes, and clean all at the same time, ya know...

and hubs had to shush everyone, mute the TV, and drop everything else when his phone rang! ;p
10:05 am
swmbo

Haha so true rbud
10:29 am
crosshair

Yes, Wingding, after much back and forth on the phone and computer punching in code numbers from the recipt, they did pay up. I will have a cheque for the full purchace price in a week or so.
10:31 am
crosshair

You are 100% correct, rbud. In fact, these days I have to turn down the radio to see better while driving. :/
10:36 am
wingding

cross, that's awesome, my wife got a 'extended warranty' for her car when she bought it, was a scam and thankfully w/ the lawyer they reimbursed her, i've shied from warranties

I nirmally do as well, but the wife and I work our tablets hard. At least they s way I get seventy-five percent of the cost of the tablet back.
10:39 am
cybernan

oops -- talking about multi tasking and the wrong box...
10:39 am

10:42 am
crosshair

We use our tablets for muti-media applications mostly. I cannot write well with them. I have a 1995 H.P office slimline computer I use as a word cruncher. I do a redundency back up on floppy disk! :)
10:43 am
cybernan

my desktop is still running win 7 -- only use it for photo editing now.
10:44 am
cybernan

don't like win 11 so still using 10 on the laptop
10:44 am
crosshair

I still run 7Pro
10:45 am
crosshair

Hackers don't even bother with it anymore. :)
10:45 am
cybernan

problem with the new OS's is that you can not use your old programs on them and you can't buy new ones -- everything is leasing now, which I don't like at all.
10:47 am
crosshair

That is another reason I keep the old computer running. Sometimes I enjoy playing legacy games.
10:48 am
crosshair

Try and keep the mush between my ears sharp.
10:48 am
cybernan

yes - that becomes a job at my age :)
10:50 am
crosshair

That and reading more of my books. They are looking down at me from the bookcase in disaproval.
10:52 am
wingding

i cannot type on anything short of a full keyboard ... when home for covid, i got a 36" monitor and brought my keyboard and mouse from the office and plugged into a docking station ... issue now, i have to lug everything w/ me, they took my windows 10 desktop and trashed it, i've only got the lap-top ,, i can not see the screen nor type on the little keypad ... the mouse is a joke
10:54 am
wingding

cross, the only reading i do is at night before bed and it's old issues of new yorker .. i suspended the subsciption because the pile of unread issues was mounting
10:56 am
crosshair

My phone has the Samsung "Dex" program. I can cast it to my 60 inch LCD, use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and have all the screen real estate I could ever need. :) it is a handy thing.
11:02 am

Please d not refer to your wife as “the wife” she is not an object, she is a person. Yes I am picky about some things.
11:10 am

On a good note, I get my very first pension check this month. :). Now I can supersize my fries at the take out window. :)
11:10 am
moolingwa

11:11 am
cybernan

good point swmbo :)
11:12 am
crosshair

There was no disrespect there, swmbo. I say my wife, much in the way she says "my husband" in online conversation when we do not with to use names or an endearment.
11:13 am
swmbo

“My wife” is Ok.”the wife” is not. Picky I know.
11:13 am
crosshair

Ahh, I see. I will correct that going forward.
11:15 am
crosshair

Lol, guss I should mention that we sometimes refer to each other as "wife unit," or "husband unit." Our 32nd is this month. :)
11:16 am

Btw you weren’t the only one to use the phrase. It as the second one that triggered me actually.
11:22 am

Or "axed" instead of asked.

Don’t get me started on grammar

And all that baby daddy/baby momma stuff.

As an English nerd who loves the Oxford comma rules, I try to tread lightly when correcting others.
11:25 am

Also worth noting that english is an ever evolving language, so the rules aren't static anyway
11:26 am

Because I make some dandy mistakes as well.
11:27 am

Moolingwa so true. Many years ago PBS did a series called The Story of English. It was fascinating to see how the language evolved and adapted to the needs of the time and place.
11:28 am

I spent three years as a T.A at a local learning centre. The kids used to say how they loved how the wife and I talked "old skool."

"Axed" is an accepted word in the African American language as a historically acceptable pronunciation.
11:29 am
swmbo

That being said, atrocities such as axed, “moot point”, should have, could have, would have etc are still jarring.

11:34 am

I'm talking about "would have"
11:34 am

The English language can be an interesting thing indeed.
11:35 am
Gillie

well, people with strong opinions with it are frequently a strange and inconsistent bunch
11:35 am

I just reread the Chat. It corrected my use of “would of” etc!
11:36 am

Outta here!
11:37 am

For example, when writing, I prefer to use full words instead of contractions. It adds to to word count but lends a certain cadence to the story that would otherwise not be there.
11:42 am
BzznBea

Most college English profs will red pen contractions.
11:43 am

I hear MY wife stirring, so I shall go make her a cuppa. Back shortly.
11:46 am
Gillie

I never had that issue - how many college English profs have you sampled?
11:46 am
cybernan

I think using "the" instead of "my" in reference to one's wife originated in the middle ages -- you know, when women were considered to be chattel. Wondering if we can now add it to the list of "politically incorrect" words and expressions?
11:47 am
crosshair

I think so!

11:52 am
crosshair

Was in the weed shop, picking up some THC capsules, and niticed the I.D tag of one employee simply said "They."
11:52 am
Gillie

Well, I don't know that "the wife" implies possession any more than "my wife" (less so, grammatically), but "the wife" does sound dismissive, somehow.
11:53 am
crosshair

As I said, I shall try and not say it in that way going forward.
11:53 am
Gillie

Maybe because it implies that the speaker is trying to distance himself from his wife
11:53 am
cybernan

use of the possessive makes it personal while the article makes it objective.
11:54 am
hurshy

but it's all a matter of perception. if we didn't live in a misogynistic society, you could easily perceive a man saying "the wife" as being an indication that as far as he's concerned, she's the only wife in the world, because he only has eyes for her
11:55 am
crosshair

Exactly.
11:56 am
crosshair

Or what if we had an open marriage? I would say "The wife, not the girlfriend."
11:57 am
hurshy

you could still use "my" in that case too, but, either way
11:57 am
crosshair

:)
11:57 am
Gillie

you could still say "my wife, not my girlfriend" - that really doesn't address the question
11:58 am
Gillie

what hurshy said
11:59 am
crosshair

Well, enough of that for now. I shall do better going forward, and avod calling my beloved "the wife" in conversation.
11:59 am
hurshy

funnily enough, i've heard some animal lovers say we should NOT use "my" for talking about pets, as they feel it implies possession/ownership. i said that's crazy, i mean, when you say "my hometown" nobody thinks you mean "the hometown which i own".

Well, looks like Ford has a meeting with Trump this Thursday. Hope things can be worked out. This "tit-for-tat" tarrifing obviously will not work. Too much money being lost on both sides of the border. Sold some shares a week after the initial tarrifs were put in place, and since that time the stock in question has shed another $10/share. I am one of the lucky ones getting out with only a $2K loss. I can only see it getting worse if a deal cannot be made.

i think part of the problem is that in his companies presumably everyone just always says "yes sir, great idea sir" and built up his impression that all his ideas are great. so now he's pressing buttons as he has been used to doing and not getting the usual result. but he just keeps pressing them thinking it'll work eventually.

If we don't say no to Trump now it will be worse than making a "deal" - Trump doesn't honour his promises. I liked Ford's original plan - if Trump doubles down on the tariffs - cut off the power.
12:16 pm

In the short time he's been in power look at what he has already destroyed: the civil service, the legal system, the reliability of the media, the education system, the credibility of the armed services.

vance would continue all that. he just might be sensible enough not to try to annex canada or carry on stupid trade wars

oh and probably most important - the reputation of the USA in the world.
