Same.

"The big print giveth.  The fine print taketh away."

So, on the show I'm watching (hit pause to come here and bitch about it)  3 ppl got in a car, two in front, one in back,  two scenes later when they've gotten where they're going, two ppl get out of the back seat.  No explanation.

Then the girl falls off a cliff, complete with a long drawn out tapering off Wilhelm-type scream.  When the scene returns to her, she's landed about ten feet below the edge of the cliff.  I mean you know she ain't dying, she's the star of the show, but, are we supposed to think she fell for less than a second and then continued to scream for another five seconds, c'mon.

Oh, and when the episode comes on, it opens with the continuation of the same conversation that the last episode ended with, only it's changed from obviously night (noticeable due to the large window in the middle of the room) to bright as noon (also noticeable due to the large window in the middle of the room).

Continuity, ppl, damn.

QFFT.

Two days without power so far, one more to go

I ticks me off that every car maker with an SUV has increased the use of advertising film showing their wonderful quasi-off-roader blasting down a nice road somewhere covering the landscape with dust and other crap.
To finish of every one of these, they find a brook or stream to gouge out and dewater with their oversize rubber.
And you have think that for usable shots and great fun they did it over and over, maybe in multiple days.
It is a kind of a plague.

The bell's rung, class dismissed for the day and by day I mean yesterday, Tuesday.  Too tired to even finish this post then. Trying to wrap up now during break.  Go!

My poor, poor brane.

jk

I'm learning, so some of you lost that bet.  It's a lot of content.  And a *lot* of it is way outside of my area of expertise, like law, federal regulations, etc.  One nice thing that happened today--definitely not pissing me off, but posted here for continuity. This class is sponsored by my employer, all my classmates are also my co-workers.  Albeit, spread across the CONUS (heh, acronym dropping there... srsly, some from as far east as Virginia and Maryland, "just ten minutes from DC".  There are a couple people from San Diego, so West Coast Represennnnnt!).

I'm enjoying learning, I'm enjoying meeting other people that work for the firm, I'm especially enjoying this break after successfully surviving a medium large crisis this morning.  Not averted, just... resolved.  I am also enjoying seeing things come up in the study and review questions that I already know, that I recognize from previous training and certification.  There's SO much going on in "IT" that I don't know about... seeing some that I do know about is kinda satisfying.

Aaaanyhow, continuity, not pissed off.  See y'all after class.

Maybe this is more mildly annoying... I tire of Pennsylvania Slob Hunter™


 

Somebody decided to shoot up a healthy cherry tree which is 16 to 18 inches through.

Can we rule out George Washington?

I'm guessing this is a more chaotic personality, although the view may differ from your side of the Atlantic.

That's a cherry tree?

The bark on that one (disregarding the slobber) is entirely different from the cherries in this area.  Here, we have fairly smooth to very smooth bark with frequent horizontal splits in the bark.  I'll look for a picture.  We have a very big, but dying one in the front yard and a couple younger spindly ones in the back yard.  Completely different bark structure.

Yeah, this is the Wild or Black. I think that's two names for the same tree.
