Google is starting to irritate me

I've been texting Mrs RC this afternoon, she is away and can't watch the hometown football game on her local TV. So I'm texting play by play to her. my android phone keeps autocorrecting "interception" to "intervention". Damn ai thinks that the Seahawks need an intervention?
It irritates my alcoholic mind. Grrr. First world problems, huh?
I hope your day is going well, one and all.

Because he ignored the rules at Arlington, we all can

So I intend to pee on his grave no matter where it is. No matter how long it takes my prostate to cooperate. Of course, I'll wash my hands afterwards.

Apple TV - good and bad

Apple plays my home team games on most Fridays. Seattle Mariners fwiw. Over the last two seasons, they have improved.

Last year, they broadcast in interlaced 4k mode, and the picture quality was awful. The ball would streak across the screen, and when the camera would move, the picture would blur. Now, they are using non interlaced cameras and the picture quality is so much better. Yay!

However, the number of commercials I have to endure to watch these games is very onerous.

Arlington came from a Confederate soldier, will Mara Loco be next?

It would be perfect if TSF lost his golf club to the US government and it could then be turned into a cemetery for veterans.

That is something I would love to see. Bulldoze the buildings, tear out all the roads and convert it all into hallowed ground. Make it into something he will never be able to understand.

TSF's calling them "basement dwellers"

For all of you magats lurking here, you need to know that your Orange Messiah calls you "basement dwellers" once the cameras are turned off.

Robert Plant & Allison Krause

Watching them live. Just as good as their last tour. Maybe better. Some great new versions of old Zeppelin classics.
There is a storm moving in, so they started the show an hour early. Going song to song with no chatting, trying to get as many songs in as they can before the thunder and rain get here.

TSMC could be ripe for unionization

TSMC Arizona struggles to overcome vast differences between Taiwanese and US work culture

Worker treatment that's acceptable in Taiwan simply won't be tolerated by US employees

One big problem is that TSMC has been trying to do things the Taiwanese way, even in the U.S. In Taiwan, TSMC is known for extremely rigorous working conditions, including 12-hour work days that extend into the weekends and calling employees into work in the middle of the night for emergencies. TSMC managers in Taiwan are also known to use harsh treatment and threaten workers with being fired for relatively minor failures.

TSMC quickly learned that such practices won’t work in the U.S. Recent reports indicated that the company’s labor force in Arizona is leaving the new plant over these perceived abuses, and TSMC is struggling to fill those vacancies. TSMC is already heavily dependent on employees brought over from Taiwan, with almost half of its current 2,200 employees in Phoenix coming over as Taiwanese transplants.

My own opinion here- if TSMC doesn't wake up very soon and recognize the vast cultural differences between here and there, I can see unions organizing very soon.

Let's mispronounce his name - Don-OLD

The accent should be on the second syllable.

Looking for "Project 2025" stickers

I want some bright red stickers with the words "Project 2025" so that I can place them on every Republican sign. These GOP clowns all need to be held accountable for this, as they are all going to follow it. So I want to place these on all the GOP signs.

Does anyone know where I can find some?
