Monday 15th 55F/12.8C [7.15] Two days of gales and heavy rain are forecast!
Up at 6.45 after a quiet night. Very dark this morning. Misty drizzle on the greenhouse.
8.45 Back from a short walk. Looping around the neighbours' drives. To get away from the traffic. Blowing a gale already. Peaking at around 20m/s later. I was nearly taken out on the blind corner where our drive starts. None of them was driving within their braking distance. All of them relying on some delusion of having commuter autopilot. All of them too close to the vehicle in front. Despite 5km/3miles of solid, double white lines.
How many lives would they risk? To gain one place in the endless queue to nowhere? How many microseconds would they save on their journey? Before wasting their entire day away. Staring at their phone. For life's true meaning to be revealed.
I brought the two, recycling wheely bins back with me. From the junction of the drive where they are emptied. The ponies weren't impressed by the racket I made. No containers or workers now.
11.45 The heaviest rain I remember seeing. It soon stopped and now the sun has come out.
A new Logitech "Silent Touch" K295 "Wireless" keyboard has arrived. Guess what? No wireless! The crooks at Logitech [and their sales outlets] are selling a keyboard without wireless capacity. Bluetooth only and that doesn't work. I have wasted hours on it now. The receivers were well proven. Yes, I know Bluetooth is a form of near-field wireless.
Their dummy chatbot keeps demanding the serial number. I keep entering the serial number. The idiot keeps asking for the serial number. I keep entering the serial number. Until the universe grows cold?
I checked the new batteries. 1.6V each.
If this is what AI customer Support is going to be like. Then it is lucky nobody will be able to afford food. Let alone technology.
