Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

I bought an Iclever BK08 folding keyboard for my tablet and was using it here on BBS to see how that would work compared to the onscreen keyboard. It's not as fast as say a regular wired keyboard on a PC but it's not completely bad either. It will take a bit of getting used to if I use it more. Right now I'm back at my desktop PC.
 
I've been going to IGN for years, but I don't think I've read the comments of a story or video more than a handful of times. Sounds like that was probably a good choice on my part.
Is it weird that I talk to animals? I say to hi to my dogs and the horses I visit on my bike rides, thank them when they do something nice, compliment them, and things like that. I also apologize to wild birds or lizards if I scare them while I'm out on my bike. And in case anyone is concerned, no they have never spoken back to me in English, although our dog Tucker will sometimes bark back when you talk to him.
 
A lot of shows and movies have that scene where a loved one is being rushed into emergency surgery and the doctors have to keep the significant other away by force. Has there ever been a scene where the actions of this hysterical significant other actually caused the person to die?
 
What does "one stop away" mean for Amazon tracking? My order has been one stop away for over two hours now.
 
Why have two cuts for the same show? It turns out that First Wave and Forever Knight both have different cuts for screening in different countries. I don’t get it.

There is also a longer cut of Johnny Mnemonic that makes more sense than the US version despite having one scene only in Japanese.

Regional media is a bit frustrating.
 
Tipping should be based on size and complexity of the order and the tipper’s income, not based on percentage of the bill.

Waiters and waitresses who work for cheap places don’t deserve less than ones who work for expensive places.

That's usually due to content, different countries allow different levels of sex, violence, and nudity, and for a while they'd do different versions for different countries that showed more or less of whatever the country it's airing in does or doesn't allow.
 
A local transformer blew and we lost power for around 3 hours. We have lots of stuff that we got for just this occasion which we, of course, couldn't find much of when we actually needed it.
