On occasion, we’ve had minute or so segments repeat themselves; which, at first I thought I was losing my mind, but it’s now happened several times where, for some reason-for a couple of days, commercials would repeat themselves or a segment of a show would repeat itself without prompting. Hasn’t happend in awhile though

Just because your TV buffers and replays autonomously doesn’t mean your not losing your mind.
Just trying to be helpful.
Muah!
EDIT - I tried to enter this reply a few minutes before, but my browser within UFN went into a perpetual “saving” screen. LOL. Maybe it’s a rerun of the Mayan Apocalypse. Or maybe / likely I’m bonkers.

Between Summer’s Eve O’Leary - rolls off the tongue, eh, Kevin? - and Musk trying to buy the Warriors for no other reason than “because he can”… we need to revive a classic Python Flying Circus skit:
“The Upper Class Twit of the Year Award”
Candidates:
Larry Ellison - founder and former CEO of Oracle.
-
Previously petitioned the San Jose Airport & City to be allowed to maintain & fly a defanged MiG-29 fighter jet out of SJC. Denied, because the idea of a MiG-29, or any fighter jet, flying out of noise abatement central is like a teenager sawing off the mufflers on his car to drive past the HS to attract the young hotties “because it sounds cool”
-
Either unaware or completely disinterested in indigenous Hawai’ian grievances on the islands being taken over by people with money, Larry purchases the entire Island of Lanai, not to continue growing pineapples, but to turn it into a playground for the wealthy. "Nice job, Larry. Are you the new King Kamehameha?"
S.E. O’Leary - needs no elaboration, just look at the news the past month.
Musk - not enough magnesium on Planet Earth to keep my forearms from cramping up on this one from the typing, need some help, guys.
Who else? Seems like they’re coming out of the woodwork, these days.

Scanners in the self check lines that seem to have an error on every other item, requiring an attendant to reset. This is efficiency?

I only use self checkout if I absolutely have to. I always go to the humans first.
Get off my lawn.

you mean some grumpy teenager that slowly walks over, scans their badge, types a few numbers, then grumbles something that may resemble resentment for having to actually work?

I think that’s kind of understood with every post in this entire thread.

I only use self-checkout. It is glorious to go to the grocery store and not speak to a single person. My pet peeve are places that still don’t accept Apple Pay. I won’t shop there if they don’t.

Maybe it’s just the scanners at my Harmons. It yells at me and tells me I haven’t put my item in the bagging area, Then I have to wait while the attendant helps 4 people ahead of me with the same problem. Can’t blame it on teens, we only seem to have sweet, albeit slow,. old ladies.

In Costco with Mrs Ma’ake, who decided to buy 10+ pair of house lounging attire, along with our regular stuff. Scanner problems with the scales not catching the miniscule weights, multiple burps requiring the attendant to come help - twice - with a big line behind us.
Finally, the attendant just scanned every item, took her 20 seconds. (They’re well paid, and earn it.)
At the same time, a former coworker saw me, waded through the crowd at self-checkout and came to tell me her BF was drinking again, they’re back in counseling, and have decided to split up… but both too poor for either to actually leave the condo.
“We put tape on the carpet and I’m sleeping downstairs, I took all my clothes out of our closet”, blah, blah, blah.
Me: (“Why do you have to tell me this now?”)
Death stares from the other customers… I was never so happy to be out of Costco.
It was like Christmas shopping exit relief.

It obviously drastically It’s my ability to have any real options on medical care, but the trade-off is that I don’t have to pay for anything at the veterans hospital. Ever since my disability rating rose to 80% after that last major knee infection that nearly killed me in the OR 9 years ago, I no longer even have to pay copays on prescriptions.
I actually had some flaming a****** recently remarkably g it must be nice to get all that free medical care and not have to worry about it. It took a Herculean effort of restraint to not punch him in the face. Listen you jackass use your brain for like even 5 seconds, and you’ll realize if you look at my body the price I had to pay to get this access.

Or the fact that virtually every G20 nation has free healthcare for every my citizen, from cradle to grave They can afford to do it, because it’s a priority to provide the best possible care for citizens’ so they can pursue their inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
We are currently spending about 1 billion a day for a war without proven causation (and there has been no discussion or assesment of the damage to our bases) that have been innundated with drones while reducing SNAP, Medicaid, Medicare and plans to elliminate SS. Let alone the damage to the US/world economy. Way to make Merica great

Seeing a specialist or (heaven forbid) finding a new primary care doc in the US likely has longer wait lists than any of the wait times they complain about with other countries with socialized medicine.
