JR regrets buying the electric Metro, but is still trying to milk it for views.

He thought there would be vastly more interest and then he could sell it for a profit: Random videos that I want to share, but don't want to start a thread for each of them: We need subtitles because movies are designed for the best theater sound systems, not your phone or television, so a great deal gets lost, and some actors just mumble. I mentioned to a client the old bit where a cowboy shoots at the feet of someone and tells them to dance.

My client wanted to see that.

I didn't think that I could find it easily, but I searched for "Dance, mailman, dance!" and immediately found this: However, that line was only in the comments, not the video, which completely missed the scene with Al using the remote to Cliff's electric underwear.

I have closed dozens of YouTube tabs again, but still have hundreds!

The Sound Effects and Music of McCabe and Mrs. Miller
In the film McCabe and Mrs Miller it used both "natural diegetic which are sounds such as dialogue and sound effects, using complementary non-diegetic sounds such as background music or enhanced sound effects to intensify the moods, or using unrealistic sounds for dramatic or comic counterpoint to the image."

I keep starting to go through the rest of my tabs, but I have too many things to do.

Mom came up and asked where we were going to live, so I showed her the closest house I found to my school and she told me to apply.

It is weird, though, the picture doesn't match Google's streetview from a year ago.

It wants proof of income, so I went to get my GI bill certificate, and it said "We usually decide on applications within 30 days."

That doesn't help.

So, I am putting in my pay for the last year, even though I don't expect to work, although I would prefer to.

It asks for contact information.

I don't have any idea who the office manager is for either agency. Google didn't turn up anything and even though I work for a huge company, the only e-mail address I found was hiring@.

I called and got voice mail. I called back and just wanted a name, but the lady said "Let me transfer you to [mumble] in HR."

I think that we have a hundred speech therapists that could help her with that.

I just got voice mail again--without a name announcement.
When I searched for the name of my company and HR, Google gave me a name, and when I searched our directory I found her.

I can finally proceed with that one step!

Of course, Zillow logged me out while I tracked down the contact information.

I needed to look up my tax information and the site I used kept logging me out.

When I logged back in it said "You were logged into two locations, so we logged you out of both."

No, I was logged into one location, you logged me out, I logged back in, and then I needed to log back in immediately!

I always wish that I could go back in time and do world-saving things, like preventing war, providing everyone with clean water, or preventing Volkswagens from ever being built, but sometimes, just sometimes, I wish that things worked the way they were supposed to.

Oh, I wish that I could make people do what they are supposed to, but it really does not sound like too much to expect inanimate objects to cooperate.

Fighting words

fighting words | Wex | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute
Fighting words are words meant to incite violence such that they may not be protected free speech under the First Amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court first defined them in Chaplinsky v New Hampshire (1942) as words which "by their very utterance, inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace.
My fee-fees take offense.
