this is why I don't trust Skype to run outside of a sandbox
Office 365 throws an error every 30 seconds to a minute if I have anything running in sandboxie. It's annoying as fuck.
I go to change it so I don't get an email every time a spambot sends me a 47 second voice message

do you really want to argue about coins in sipwicket
This is like asking us how anyone could possibly think in terms of feet and inches
We just grew up with these coins so they're second nature to us

Whatever you do, don't mention oven mitts.
I just found this in my wallet which means I must have received it as change.

Certain people don't like how heavy 50 cent coins are for their value so I have 133 50 cent coins (2.1 KG) just sitting in a tray I haven't got around to doing anything with.
Really should get more up to date coin collection packages, my 50 cent one is like 13 years old and I have a bunch loose because there's no slots left and the coins all fall out of the $1 and 20 cent ones.

Don't even get me started on a printer rant.
I have seen damn near every single thing that has ever gone wrong trace back to printers in one case or another. You'd think an SQL server going offline for 4-10 minutes at a clip randomly couldn't possibly have anything to do with a network printer that just had new firmware installed because of new cartridges requiring it, wouldn't you? A printer which is on an entirely separate subnet. Couldn't possibly be related right? Well, you'd be wrong.
Right after "Have you tried turning it off and on again" comes "Have you tried unplugging all your printers and then turning it off and on again."

At my first college the only consistently working printer was one from the late 80's, we had to use the "NPRINT" command on the command line to actually print to it.
I have to admit it was a pretty solid printer.

The least problematic printer I've ever had was actually an HP laserjet over ethernet (USB on it was busted for some reason) while my Kodak requires a color cartridge to print in B+W, despite having a B+W cartridge. And I'm living in the city built by Kodak, shameful.

I will grant that the US could definitely do with embossing braille on our bills/coins to aide the blind, but it's really easy to distinguish between coins in your pocket. With the exception of Sacajawea dollar coins, which can be confused with quarters, everything has a unique texture/size combination. Even the weights are significantly different. Sacajawea coins are largely disliked in the US, so you rarely see them outside of shops deliberately stocking them for change. People prefers bills.
I legitimately hate how Euro bills aren't a uniform size. You can't stack them neatly, no matter what you do, and that really bothers me for some reason I can't quite explain.

The one I really don't get is the 2 cent coin.
The 50 cent, 1 and 2 euro coins seem largely pointless as well since at that point bills become better, but I can at least sort of see the use.

I like Canada's 5 coin system to easily sum up an amount.
You have 5 cent, 10 cent, 25 cent, $1, and $2.
Since no one uses the 1 cent coin anyways, the government got rid of it and rounds the amount to the nearest 5 or 0. Your resulting amount is always divisible by 5.
[editline]15th August 2016[/editline]
I don't really get the deal with the $2 coin either to be honest
2 dollar bills are at least useful for something besides novelty, and confusing minimum wage employees.
Strip clubs put them in the ATMs to increase revenue. The coins are just dumb.
I can tell you first hand that strippers don't like you throwing loonies and toonies at them.
[QUOTE=gman003-main;50891378]The different sizes are because they historically were made of different metals. Pennies and half-pennies were copper, nickels through dollars were silver, and another set of coins for $2.50 to $10 were in gold, with each coin of the same metal having a weight exactly proportional to its value. So a ten-cent dime was silver, 1/10th the weight of the dollar coin; a 25-cent coin was 1/4th the weight of the silver dollar. And the three metals were obviously different. So that's why the dime is small - it was the smallest denomination of silver. And then at some point, Big Nickel decided the five-cent coin should be a nickel-copper blend, and that's why the nickel is larger than the dime.
In case you haven't noticed, America is really bad at taking care of small details. We should honestly have ditched every coin but the quarter by now, but we've still got all of those nonsense coins. We still haven't figured out the metric system, we still have the Electoral College, and all of that.
We make up for it on the big-picture stuff. Want to break the trenches on the Western Front? Done. Want to put a man on the moon? No problem. We're the kind of country that can build a revolutionary, world-class highway system just in case the Soviets invade and we need to shuffle Army divisions around, and then cheap out on maintaining it for fifty years.
Nobody pays in exact change in America. Even old people - the ones who are lazy just use a credit card, the ones who deliberately try to slow everything down write checks. Almost every cash register in the country has a "take a penny, leave a penny" bowl to at least round to the nearest five cents. When people do pay cash, they just use paper money, and get change back which gets dumped in a jar and forgotten.[/QUOTE]
When I was in the states, if you don't have exact change and you're a penny or a few off, most places won't care and say it's fine.
Also I forgot how annoying cash and coins are. I was visiting the US and I am so used to tap and pay with my credit card in Canada. I ended up giving the cash and dealing with the change later.

I've had this on and off for like a year. Seeking to somewhere that's already buffered fixes it most of the time.
Use a plugin to disable dash playback. Solves 95+% of all youtube playback problems for many people.
Introduces the problem of no 60fps or > 720p.
[editline]16th August 2016[/editline]
Or 480p.

So I think I've managed to install iOS 7.1 on an iPod touch 2nd gen. It's painfully slow, send help
