The thing I've given up on is getting recipes via my wifes ipad. Slow as hell, hard to key, and then the recipes are 40 pages of frickin click-bait. I use a PC to get anything off the web I need. Likewise, reading the paper online is a PITA. I get the paper to avoid that, and to allow me to select instantly what I want to look at. And the comics. And the crossword.

So my pet peeve is off-topic dissembling (unlike the on-topic dissembling I do) . I think spending 30 seconds with the guy that made that video would drive me bananas. Not only that, but in a video that folks can stop watching at any time, d'ya think it might help to get to an interesting point within 3 seconds? This video was made without any consideration of someone watching it, completely negating any value it has.
