  • Out last house had two street names and numbers assigned to it.

    The first set of info came from the original planning of the suburb, and all the utilities connect to that. All mail comes to the second info because some dumbass put the mailbox on the wrong side of the lot. (Which caused the postal service to assign a mailing address that made sense to them.) The house had big numbers matching the mailing address when we moved in.

    Google refused to change to the mailing address since it didn’t match the suburb lot plan.

    We thought it was hilarious so we just rolled with it, and explained when friends inevitably got lost while using Google or Apple maps not to trust them too much.





  • I’ve had tinnitus for decades, and it SUCKS. I’ve always been careful for my hearing, but after a concussion it arrived and never went away.

    I play games with most sounds off. I can’t use headphones, wearing them gives me a migraine no matter the volume.

    I’ve had hearing tests, seen a specialist. I have no hearing loss, but I do have misaphonia and tinnitus. The combination is pure hell, there is no respite.

    I can’t distinguish voices in chats well enough to follow what’s being said if more than one person is talking. It’s even worse online when I can’t lip read to decode what’s being said.

    Project your earholes.


  • I have noticed this. I have a few searches that I do regularly, and over time I’ve watched the results get less and less relevant for the same keywords.

    One of the more recent searches was for a set of data I had been building. I had the keywords from my notes, and when I went to search for it again, using the same keywords that found it the previous times, it was no longer a result. I knew the dates of one event in particular, so I narrowed to that, and still google served me results for ten years before the specified date range. A bit more fine tuning, and Google continued to serve the same results, all not even remotely close to what I was after, and results that were found even as recently as last week are not longer there.
