Well it seems that we have our first hurricane threat of the season. Hopefully we will dodge a bullet but we will have to wait and see.
As far as me, I got my Covid-19 Bivalent booster shot and thought it would explode my heart. I went into A-Fib the first time that has happened in several years. I think I will be skipping any further Covid-19 shots.
I also wanted to say my TV habits have changed with the different streaming services and I think it has gotten better.
I have been wanting to type this post for a while. I am just frustrated with how things are right now as in society at large. Inflation and what will likely be a recession next year and where have all the people gone. I know we lost about a million people that died directly or indirectly from the Pandemic but were is everyone else. Eating out right now is not a great option whether it is a fast food place or a causal dining experience. I know a lot of people left those jobs either voluntarily or involuntarily (because of shut downs and such) and went elsewhere. But the elsewheres are also having problems getting people. It just feels like people evaporated. Yet traffic has increased. Everywhere you look it looks like business are needing people but you also feel this uneasy feeling that huge layoffs are coming. I am not sure what is going on.
But to the employees in fast food. I know some of you probably hate the job because it is all you could get or you just don’t care. Remember food is something we all like to eat and just imagine if you gave your family some of the food you all are pushing off on people and then people get irate. I know fast food is supposed to be fast and not a 5 star meal but it should be decent where when you bite into you go what in the world is the garbage.
Happy New Year and let’s hope 2022 is better. 2021 was a terrible year for me compared to 2020 believe it or not. Even though 2020 was the start of Pandemic it was a better year for me personally. As far as New Year’s resolutions I don’t do that but would like to read more this year. Well that is it for now. Hope everyone stays safe.
Merry Christmas Eve to everyone!
I hope everyone has a great day and remember the real celebration is tomorrow. It is a birthday celebration of OUR LORD and Savior Jesus. Without him everlasting life would be impossible.
May everyone have a great, Merry and Blessed Christmas tomorrow.
Well, it finally happened. I had to get a new computer. My old computer an Alienware Aurora R5 was on it’s last leg. It had several problems and I was really worried it was going to give out. Now, I wanted a new computer with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with a NVIDIA RTX 3080 with all the trimmings. But with the supply issues and the outrageous cost with everything blown out of proportion I decided to get a low end but respectable computer. I ended up with a Levono Legion AMD desktop. It has a Ryzen 7 5700G and an NVIDIA RTX 3060. It is all propriety and I wanted to stay away from it, but the case can actually hold off the shelf components and most all the reviews were positive. So I bit the bullet and had Bestbuy send me one, even though I believe this computer would be about 500 dollars cheaper if this was a couple of years ago. I have to say so far I am impressed and hope it gets me through the next 3 years if not more as I think as I believe it will take that long for prices to come back to normal and supply to return to normal or better.
This is the first time in my 52 years alive that I can remember everything and anything you want being on shortage. I am not just talking the latest tech, but yea I haven’t been able to buy a new computer as there are shortages of components and the prices are way out of whack. I am talking food shortages and what not. I see on forums people all over the Country saying no shortages here and there. But, I can tell you where I live I see it and the shelves are bare and what you do find you buy it and it turns out that it might be bad. For example a dozen eggs where bought and we cooked half of the dozen for 3 people and we all bit into the eggs and they were off tasting and bad. By the way on that batch it say large eggs and they were almost as small as Whoopers (not kidding should have taken a picture, I joke the USDA inspector must have been off that day). The next batch bought at a different store looked like large eggs and tasted fine.
I have been in Publix quite a few times and seen either completely empty shelves or sparsely populated shelves. I hope this doesn’t continued but I fear it is here for other year with or without the pandemic continuing. Which quite frankly I think most people don’t care anymore and are acting like it doesn’t and I feel that other people feel it is over. While I will say I am fully vaccinated so I am just not worrying about dying. I don’t want to catch it but I can’t control other people.
I got the Google Pixel 6 Pro pre-launch as they were giving away free Pixel Buds and with everything in short supply now days I went ahead and got it. It arrived yesterday. So far, my biggest thing is that I wish Google would figure out a way I can say hi you know how I have the present phone set up on the home screens do the same thing.
I also have the power button screen glitch when the phone is off . Since it doesn’t seem to effect my phone otherwise I will wait and see what Google discovers about it or if it causes any problems. I do say the one biggest hardware flaw I see with the phone is the in display fingerprint sensor. It is awful performance. I wished Google would have stuck with the rear fingerprint sensor it was awesome had some hidden features like pulling down the notification area and was just in the right place for your finger.
Haven’t tried the the camera’s yet so can’t say about the quality and will update soon as I do. The screen is gorgeous and the performance seems fluid to me. The build seems balance and very top notch as far as shape and quality of the actual phone.
Well there are my first raw impressions. Will keep everyone updated on the phone as time goes on. Back to personalizing the phone. Please Google improve that experience. Takes too long to setup a new phone. It is like moving everyone hates packing and unpacking.
I have been reading and looking at the new Google Pixel 6 Pro and I like what I see. I will probably not buy on launch but probably by the end of the year. I have loved all my past Pixel’s. Can’t wait to see the Pixel 6’s.
I just realized I have been on Blogger for 20 years. I started in 2001 blogging. I am not a prolific blogger. But I try to keep typing a way. I was just amazed when I saw it has been 20 years. Blogger hasn’t really changed that much. I do keep wishing I could have a desktop app to load more. I am a app and software type person. I try to do as much as possible out side of the web browser.
Thanks Blogger and Google for 20 years.
Things never stay the same like I want. I want all my tabs and settings and extensions on all my devices look like my main system unless I opt out that machine. Same with Onedrive and other services that sync things. They never say follow this template unless item or machine is opted out.
