    Thank god spell check was invented cause I'm dyslexic and can destroy some words. My mind works faster than my hands and I destroy some sentences. I have to reread several times to make it a single thought that makes sense. Just ask Richard and my wife how I can destroy words in Discord, lol

    For some reason I used to be randomly dyslexic with numbers... less now than in the past, and only in writing... but I used to have double check every time I wrote any numbers, because if I didn't, guaranteed 6,487 was actually 7,846... My real problem with writing used to be that I'd skip letters... it's hard to describe, but I'd start writing part of one word before I completed the last... did it typing and more commonly with script, sometimes with regular writing... it's like if my brain is watching my hands they wander off and try to catch up but leave stuff out...

    By the time I was in my early twenties I figured out little tricks to stop myself from doing that, but every now and then if I'm really rushed or super tired, I see it happen and need to focus more.

    So yeah, I really like spellcheck to some extent, but predictive text can be super annoying.

    Trying to download a product from my library, hitting manual download leads to a blank page that says

    Auth expired

    Anyone know what dat might mean?

    all i can say is that I had the same problem during the past few days.  I had better luck downloading files using Mozilla Firefox browser.  Unfortunately the zip files were corrupted somehow.  Sorry I couldn't help out more.

    I need to do something useful right now.

    ...same here,  Texting is even worse as with my arthritis I don't have the agility with the thumbs like others do. If I tried  to text that way, I'd come up with codes even the CIA or MI6 would find impossible to break.

    Through I probably would be great at developing strong passwords.

    ROFL. I have to 1 figure text cause my thumbs are too big and I end up hitting 2 keys at once and cell spell checkers are worse. They say they are smart phone which don't respond very smartly and put the absolutely worst words in. The funniest one I ever heard happened to my youngest. We was talking in text to a girl he liked and were talking about things they like to eat and wanted to text "I like eating pudding" but it didn't put pudding in. Use a dirty mind to figure out the replacement for pudding. I laughed so hard I couldn't stop. She laughed her butt off.

    What really sucks with being dyslexic is you can write something wrong and look at it 5 times of and even though your copying it from something it still looks correct to you. The same with reversing letters. Coundn't tell you how many times I got points taken off in English class because of backwards letters. Math and English were my two classes that were hard on me. I'm very good at math. I can do very complicated formulas in my head and get the right answer but they want to see the work so when I do the work showing them there are always mixed up numbers and I get it marked wrong. Kinda sucked. Another bad thing about dyslexia people is it is very hard to comprehend something and you have to reread something numerous times to let it sink in because you can read words out of order and the paragraph makes no sense to you. My wife will read a 400 page book in a day and if I read the same book it would take me 4 days because I had to read the book 3 times to be able to picture the story and sink it into memory. For the longest time the teacher's in school thought I was just goofing off. Even once they figured it out they did nothing to help. It was real fun when I became a police officer. I'd be calling in plate number and reading them all mixed up and they'd come back on the radio and say that plate number doesn't exist. Luckly they were all good humored about it. I was never happier when we got the computers in the car that we can run the plates ourselves.

    The conversation here made me think of a YouTube creator I've been watching,  says sometimes that he has dyslexia  (The number of typos he makes when typing Signs/Books in Minecraft, I'd buy it)  but he does have plenty of health related issues... He's still a really popular guy.  Goes to show you don't need to be perfectly fit and healthy to do the things you love :)

    Also I love his voice and his laugh, it's so calming~

    This kind has a toy on one side and maybe chocolate on the other?

    The old ones used to be hollow with a small choking hazard size toy in the middle. 
    I suppose that new kind is safer, but what lesson about self control and not choking are you going to learn?... 

    So, not so funny side story... I don't know if you ever heard of Yowies, but they are a similar idea... sort of... when one of my daughters was about 7 or so, we were on line at Target and she saw a Yowie display and I guess it said something about it being hollow with a toy inside... so I told my daughter about my long lost pal Oinky... I got figured once I said that she would avoid doing what I did, unfortunately for her, she is exactly like me in certain ways, but I got her it anyway figuring she would not repeat my mistake.

    So true to form, she decided to jokingly take a huge bite out of it as soon as we got in the car... only problem is a Yowie, unlike the German chocolate eggs, is a skin of chocolate over a plastic shell, with the toy inside of it... Luckily the tooth that popped out was loose already.

    The one Sfariah's got is the summer version, for when it's too hot the original kinder egg gets melty real fast. So in the summer version, there's the toy in one side and something like pre-melted kinder chocolate in the other, which you eat with a weird kind of spoon. Go figure ...

    ...you' probably would be better off doing that as this game makes watching paint dry look exciting.  314 yards of offence for GB and so far only a field goal to show for it (Crosby missed another again earlier) 

    Oy, they finally got a touchdown.  so now 10 - 0 Green Bay..

    Meanwhile Carolina is ahead of League leading Arizona, 31 - 10 with about five minutes to go in the game.

    Also something sea lions tend to do... is there something you are not telling us?

    Complaint:  Stupid stuff shortages and outrageous price hikes...

    (Disclaimer: I am aware of how bad it is for those in the EU and UK, but I'm going to complain anyway as I'm in a fairly disgruntled way at the moment)

    I'm trying to put together a nice(ish) looking light post for a pair of solar motion sensor lights, but like anything I want to use is either insanely overpriced (like 3x what it was a few months ago) or it's not available anywhere...

    Originally I was going to use a 3" steel pole, but none of the stuff I intended to use to mount the light to the pole is available and the pole is stupidly expensive too... last year I could have bought a fancy cast aluminum post for what that method will end up costing.

    I'll probably end up cobbling together some sort of fancy(ish) vinyl post with either a wooden or aluminum post insert, but that's more involved than I wanted it to be... the initial idea was going to be a simple 9 ft tall solar coach light mounted to a (very) heavy paver base which could be moved if needed... But of course none of the solar coach lights that have motion detectors have replaceable LED bulbs and no way I'm spending $200 on a fixture that's basically disposable because the LED array is hardwired to the unit.

    The lights I'm going to use are not that pretty, basically they look like security lights with separate notebook sized solar panels, but at least they were reasonably priced... so now I'm going have to figure out how to make it look less industrial looking without going overboard on effort and price.

    Nothing is ever simple.

    Ever.

    Also, while I'm complaining... among all the stupid things to indefinitely disappear from store shelves (not the least of which is spray paint, which I constantly use... I hate having to mix up lacquers and use a spray gun for little jobs), now it seems onion powder has gone extinct... fer real?

    Like the stores don't even have a shelf space or shelf tag for it anymore... well, one fancy store in the rich part of town has Hand Ground Organic Sumatran White Onion ethically roasted by spice monks in the volcanic caldera of Mount Cinabung... or some nonsense like that, whatever the backstory on that, it's like twenty frickin' dollars for a little bottle of the stuff... I'll leave it for the rich folks who probably need fancy onion powder more than me, as I'm more of a Costco institutional sized onion powder user.

    Besides GPUs what are you folks finding super annoyingly scarce?

    Feel free to share.

    I don't remember the memes, but I definitely remember that part from The Meaning of Life... that and "Can we have your Liver?"..."It's a large, ehh, glandular organ in your abdomen..."
