Those are cute. I didn’t know they made ugly otters.
Now I feel stupid.

Why? Feelings centered on the TV’s reluctance to be installed or your mother herself?

Think otters are assholes? Check out dolphins. That’s right. Lovable, brainy Flipper is a bully, a kidnapper, and a serial rapist.
And definitely a sexist.

I see your dolphin and raise you a duck. Ducks are homosexual necrophiles, and have telescopic corkscrew penises.

There is just something about a 70 year old technophobe, a smart tv and abysmally shitty tech support from a cable provider that scratches the itch.
The fact that I have to look up all informationm on her 10 year old laptop … because she cannot have the stress of a new computer right now… does not help.
“I will make it look just like it is now, I will!, I will even rearrange the new desktop so that all the “buttons” are where they are now, I swear!”
“No.”

Female weasels only get pregnant if they are raped.
Thats right, if you are a male weasel and too much of a pussy to violate a female one, you are a genetic dead end.
And then of course there is our closest cousin, the chimpanzee. Yes, we all know he’ll eat your face and bite off your fingers if he’s pissed off at you, but did you also know that Bonzo is, like Flipper, a kidnapper, a child molester, and an incestuous rapist? And according to the Jane Goodall center, Chimps have been observed carrying out a full-scale civil war, which resulted in one side totally annihilating the other. This explains where we get our more endearing qualities.

Apparently when they’re not snacking on piranhas, they haunt children’s dreams.
I took a sick day last week and went back to read earlier Let’s Process threads. It was very cool to revisit the beginning of my relationship with Hockey. Like having journaled it.

I do the same thing with training articles like this one: http://www.T-Nation.com/readArticle.do?id=1233149

That was actually a very interesting article.

I can’t understand how anyone can fail to see the wonder and appeal in evolving devices.
Speaking of which, I need to buy a Kindle Paperwhite because it’s backlit. I’m often awake first and do not want to have to choose between staying in bed with Hockey until the very last second and being able to read or mess around online. He encourages me to get my coffee and laptop and bring them back to bed, but I really need more light for that than I feel comfortable turning on while he’s sleeping. So a Paperwhite is next up here at Chez Emily.
So, I’m worried I either have mono for the 3rd time, or I have lymphoma. So that’s a thing.

Coincidentally I just woke from a dream in which I almost certainly had cancer.
When was the last time for mono? Maybe it’s just not kicked yet?

Orion,
If/when you need to update the laptop install Teamviewer, it’s free for personal use, fast and will let you do remote support for your mom when she needs help. Good luck.

I done did it, I did!
Returned their piece of shite media box, installed a CI + module which finally lets her see the programms she could not see before, installed a W-Lan repeater so the smart TV can stream data from her w-lan router, found out that outlook will not accept the .pst file from an older version if it is from a 32 bit version BECAUSE SHE HAS A NEW COMPUTER!!!
She can now also use her smartphone as a remote control, as a tv guide and watch something entirely different than what the tv is showing and now I only have to transform her ARTRAC files into MP3s which I might be able to do by running a 64 bit system in the 32 bit emulation mode.
I even managed to get her printer to run on her new system, which was not fun at all but she cannot have a new one because she just bought two new cartridges and there is no way…
I had a breakthrough too…
“Look, if we get that HDD we can record stuff and you have 500 gigabytes and the cable companies alternative is 4 EUR a month so after one year you save money!”
“Look, for the price of one of the printer cartridges you buy now you get a printer, scanner and copying machine all in one if we then use those knockoff cartridges you will save money!”
“Look, they are selling off their computers and they even give you a special discount if you buy Office 365 with it, so you will save money!”
You think people whp lived through the Great Depression knew what money was worth and held on to it.
Growing up in post war Austria apparently did the same to people.
