@juliewebgirl Some dumb ass walk into cafe and plugs his phone into My charger.

Explain to me the difference between these chargers.

Explain to me how some dumbass can't figure the difference.

Yes he's been chased out of the cafe for being terminally stupid and I played the "You're Completely Stupid, can you even breathe?" card, and shamed him out.

Dude, does my brick look like it's yours?

I'd have cheerfully let him use my power charger if he'd *asked*.

@juliewebgirl YAY! Gideon (Mastiff) swung by cafe and:

"Oh, I know This guy...I get pets. We're going over here now".
240lbs of Mastiff. Then he throws himself on my feets. *plop* "Hi Friend...I'll just sit here."

Cool, cool...I'll just reset all the broken bones in my feet. Nice to see you too.

Gideon's mom told me that the Other Mastiff is "Teddy" and the young lady that walks Teddy is also Gideon's walker and I should introduce myself.

Oh dear, more big-assed dogs... what evar shall I do?

Total points to the dude with a RUN DMC sticker on his laptop.

Girl walks into cafe wearing shirt, "In my defense, I was left unsupervised".

What the fuck is wrong with people that *stop* right in front of a door, and spend the next minute and a half texting?

*Boot*

FUCK Google Password Helper is annoying and I've been using Chrome five minutes.

*Uses Chrome to find out how to turn off Chrome "Helping"*

That is correct. Riding a horse while intoxicated is in fact a DUI.

Also, that it was in Merced doesn't surprise me.

Man arrested for horseback DUI

Pointed my phone at some Out Of Fucking Control children (they're off school) pretended like I'm recording.

They: What are you doing man?

Me: I'm making a TikTok of dome dumb-ass fuckiing animals, pissing all over the place and shitting on the floor, someone let in the cafe.

They left.

*** I WIN! ***

My Gods ... a woman in the coffee shop hit Buzzword Bingo in like 3min on this phone call. And I think she used some I don't know.

Ok, that was funny for a while but it's time to put some honeypot fields on my contact form now.

Oh no fucking way.

Starbucks is playing The Girl From Ipanema. That's it. I'm out.

@juliewebgirl Switching to phone.

So, get to buy a new headset to Not piss my better half off. While being grumpy with hers (which she likes and I don't
).

Spits in Dirt.

Jah, Nein.

Tomorrow we'll discuss NFC.

This is my TED Talk, thank you for attending.

#Bluetooth Consortium is literally within walking distance (for me anyway). https://www.bluetooth.com in Kirkland.

The protocol is insecure, doesn't work and has been shit since about ... 20 years.

All I want to do is call my girlfriend and say "I Wub You" but nooooo. [Literally all I wanted to do.]

Sync-ish to her phone, tunnel sounds.

Conversation should have taken five seconds, took three minutes collecting shit. And Not Our Fault!

Might go to Kirkland tomorrow.

I FUCKING DESPISE #Bluetooth.

I can't call my better half without fucking about, She has to connect her stuff to her phone, occasionally to her car,

The BT5 specification is garbage with broken security in a spectrum that's overwhelmed and under managed by the FCC.

I can't hear my better half because, headphones (her's or mine depending, they both suck) (I really hate her headset, she hates the set I just fucked up.)

@FirefighterGeek Also, Tenhnically, I "retired" from fixing The Net three times now.

It's like the Mafia. You never really get out.

(Cliff brought me back the second time, Julie the third) Speaking of...
Next post.

@juliewebgirl And well...
