Something Stopped

Sometime in the past week or so has stopped working on all the browsers that I use.. The ability to take the memes that are there.. Started being that way with the UC browser that I have been using, then I checked Pale Moon, then ... Safari..  so if that has effected (or affected, take your choice) me in that way what will I use to do any blog entries.. I can't get the latest smart ass memes, i'm rather screwed then..  But not to worry, it's not going to effect me at all really.. Yes there will be no more FB memes but they all come from someplace, and I know where that is and it really is no issue to get them.. They will still be a year late and a dollar short, but that's ok..

There was no rain in the forecast last night so where did that come from??  Well it was forecast but as with everything, the weatherman can be right ten percent of the time and still have a job tomorrow..

I'm gonna plant my tomatoes.. said someone on the radio as she said they are getting gangly.. Well plant them yesterday, it was nice, what could possibly happen to them.. Yesterday (Saturday) was 80 degrees, and a sure sign it won't frost again anytime soon will it??   No, not until Thursday, or Tuesday, or Friday but not to worry they need a good spanking..

We are looking for shrubs possibly for the ally planter.. Mom asks are you planning to plant anything in there, and maybe I will but right now it is looking to be my compost finisher area this year, making the compost batches complete their making compost in the ground like I did last year.. I used a little three foot by four area next to the gas meter as the compost finishing place.. Yes it takes this little compost tumbler six weeks not four like the larger versions.  But four is close enough, it's just a little gooier.. Not quite done but close enough, when you consider the years prior I wasn't paying attention and not bothering turning the thing but once ever few days.. Gotta do that every day..

Is it me or...???   Ok I listen to Steve Czaben every day.. He has his own radio show on the satellite radio and he has his way of doing things, such as he has three tv screens he watches while watching sports of every kind.. I think of that and to me you know to each his own. But to watch three screens simultaneously is . Takes a talent, but he has gotten listeners to convert their watching habits as well.. Then there is his tv watching preference.. You know how I'm bitching about our internet being around 1Mbps.. that means I have standard video, in fact substandard, there is no way any HD video could make it through that low of internet speed.. He has what is called 4K.. what is 4K??  4K s the next step up from 720p (Or i, not sure which is which or if it matters for this rant) then there is 1080i (again or p...) and then there is 2160p and then there is 4K.. What exactly is broadcast in 4K??  Almost nothing at all.. How much internet does that take? A Google search says a speed of 25Mbps.. Wow, that's never happening here any time soon.. The best we can get is 20megs..  So here is my biggest gripe.. a friend went to a trade show a few years back and entered to win one of those big screen tvs and won the damn thing.. I was watching the tv and yeah, that is impressive if you really look hard.. I'm not impressed with HD, mostly because they said it would be like looking out a window at the stadium..   Really??  because it looks like i'm looking at a tv screen to me.. How great is 4K video??? How great is ultra HD??  Three dimension was the latest greatest thing but it died still born and this guy is pushing 4K like it is better than 3D..  Bandwidth will be the downfall of this new format.. I was just looking at the roku forum and there is a guy wanting to view the show he knows is in 4K but can't get it to show it is being streamed that way..  Wish I had three of his 30Mbps and he had a feather up his ass..  oh well.. You live in the metro and you get the perks of living there..
