Do I know how? Yes. Am I proficient with one? No.

I have about 10 minutes of experience driving manual transmission vehicles spread over two vehicles, both tractors. Both were when I was visiting friends and they said "Hey, want to try it?"

So if I got put into a car with one I could probably make it work, but I wouldn't be proficient with it and wouldn't feel comfortable with it, at least not at first.

I also "know how" to shift a Super 10, but will probably never have the opportunity to actually try it.

My credit union pushed an update to its web site some months ago that caused it to no longer work with Firefox.

There's also a credit card company that won't let me sign in when they see I'm running Firefox on FreeBSD, but it's a superficial check on their end -- If I use a user agent switcher plug-in and make them think I'm using Edge on Windows it'll let me sign in with no problems.

When I run into a problem web site with Firefox I'll temporarily turn off uBlock Origin, but that almost never helps.

Water and electric companies, too. "Water plan fee", etc. Heck, my electric bill is now two pages due to all the add-on fees, and all the taxes on those fees that are also broken out to separate lines.

These are the comments I came here for. Thanks!

Try RayForge. It's relatively new but seems to be doing well. Lack of laser engraving software for Linux is what was keeping me from buying a laser engraver, but when I saw RayForge I went ahead and bought an engraver (Sculpfun S30 Pro). I bought it to burn my creator's mark, date, and serial number on to my woodworking projects. I just got it so haven't used it much yet other than burning some test grids and some sample marks, but I'm very impressed with it. I run it on Linux Mint.

If cartoons have taught me anything, it's that gravity doesn't have any effect unless I look down.

Wait, what?

Which is fine until the financial institution eff's that up. I've had checks get lost in the mail so I avoid sending them where possible and do most payments on-line. One of my utilities won't let you pay on-line unless you agree to stop printed statements, which I don't want to do (plus their web site sucks...) So I thought I'd try on-line bill pay through my credit union. A month later I received another statement that failed to show my payment. I asked my credit union for any data they had on the transaction. They sent me a receipt which showed they sent the payment to the wrong business . When I asked what they could do to help resolve it they said there was nothing they could do and that I'd have to contact the business myself. It was an business I didn't have any relationship with... I guess it's "just the way it's done" -- they can only send money, they have no way of issuing corrections. Fortunately the business in question was very helpful and was able to send me a check for the amount in question. The worst part is that this wasn't a big bank, but a local non-profit credit union which is supposed to be by the members, for the members. And they never even issued an apology.

What I learned is that apparently part of the on-line bill pay process involves a human reading your payee information and transcribing it somewhere else to make the payment -- they don't directly use the text typed by the customer. When I log in to the credit union's web site and look at the bill pay transactions, it clearly shows the correct payee, not the one they sent the funds to.

Whoa, punchcards? Lucky dog! I had to chisel my ones and zeros out of stone. In fact, we didn't even have ones and zeros. We had to use the letters 'O' and 'I'.

Cops are crooked? That's unpossible!

Smart phones aren't messing with the development of kids' brains?

I don't think so, mate.

And there's a big bucket of water right below them. About two thirds of it is water.

That didn't bother me. The word "ancient" in front of it is what made me sad. Well, it made me feel old which then made me sad.

You think the moon landing was fake? Dude, the MOON is fake. It's an optical dilution created by the Stonecutters.
