When you Google a question, and the first response is a sarcastic "Did you try Google?"

Tangentially related:

Someone asks for help installing Flash; some asshole links to a tutorial on YouTube.

Between YouTube's html5 trial and Safari's ClicktoFlash extension, I haven't used Flash to watch a YouTube video in years.

...you know, coming in when somebody else complains about a piece of software not working to say that you don't need it yourself is a pretty good example of a pet peeve, too.

Long, filthy fingernails. This is not so much a pet peeve as a thing that inspires revulsion in me.

I was just trying to provide a scenario where the tutorial linker forgets that Youtube requires Flash.

I guess I forgot to finish the thought.

Fair enough.  More likely I think he was probably thinking "Eh, they can just go to another computer," which I suppose is probably true.  If you're trying to get Xubuntu working on a Chromebook, it is not likely that it is the only computer in your house.  Still, I found it pretty obnoxious.

And making simple step-by-step processes into YouTube videos is a pretty obnoxious practice in and of itself, as we've already discussed.

My family is full of people who absolutely believe they can't be wrong and if you say something they don't believe, you're an asshole and a liar.
(My mother has marked on the calendar a few days ago when my father said she was right about moldy hamburgers)

In addition with this, my family has a terrible time remembering things  so when they get mad I've never broken any bones, I remind them of my nose multiple times. They say it doesn't count.
I bring up when I broke my rib back when I had bronchitis and they are calling my doctor to verify.

Happy Third Decade, Kayin!

Argh, now you've gone and done it.

Unless Kayin just turned 20, he has not just entered his third decade.

First decade would be the first 10 years of life, yes?  That would be 0-9.  Second decade, then, is 10-19; third is 20-29.

Similarly, while "I am in my nth year" is typically used to mean "I am n years old", that is not what it actually means (unless you're from China or another culture that considers you to be one year old at birth).

Unless you're wishing Kayin a happy END to his third decade.  In which case, carry on.

And hey Kayin, happy birthday!  Regardless of which one it may be.  (Though if you DID just turn twenty, then I'm pretty goddamn impressed.)

I would say that Kayin's first three decades were pretty successful, yes.

The locals have taken to using the area underneath my front porch as a garbage dump. Just tonight I've had to drag out an old couch* from under there, as well as literally shovel out a pile of dirty, mismatched old dishes because hell if I was gonna crawl under there and pick that shit up with my hands. I've known for a while people use the spot as a pet bathroom, but actual random trash, that's new.

Gonna have to call my landlord and talk him into sealing that place up somehow.

*: My neighborhood is home to a ridiculous number of stray/possibly-feral cats, and there are still tons of spiders at this time of year, so that was no picnic.
