My pet peeve is the current epidemic of keyboard virologists, internet epidemiologists and amateur statisticians we're enduring.
You've got to be kidding me.the planet is doing just fine.
Ed can also make most of them go away. Here are some instructions from Google.

I'd normally suggest watching Youtube in incognito/private mode, but since Ed has to sign on for premium, that won't work.
I agree. I love to read my newspaper sitting on the front porch rocking chair with my coffee and my cat on my lap. My screen is glared out from too much ambient light. Everything about handling real newspaper appeals to me over a screen. A screen feels like I'm looking through binoculars and that I'm missing stuff. I know for a fact I don't miss anything or mislead with click bait with printed newspaper. I can easily toss the ads and glance at headlines. Photos make more sense on the glance than screen too.
I know the days are numbered, but I'll keep getting the newspaper delivered long as I can.
Oh, have a subscription for my dad who has Alzheimers. He can't work a screen device. I gave him an iPad and next thing I know, he's got it so hosed up, takes me time to figure out what he did. Very frustrating for him.
Exactly what percentage of the virologists are also statisticians?
I have all of this mandatory time off of work (Thanks Covid19), and the weather will not cooperate to allow me to do anything outside. Today was 43* and very overcast with 15 mph winds, yesterday was 50*, spitting rain, and 50 mph winds...I just want a couple sunny/calm days ( I don't really care what temperature).
Darn right. It is not like we are in the middle of a once in a lifetime pandemic. And I'm getting low on my BudLime 3.2% beer and Red Vines.My pet peeve of the day is how completely messed up online shopping and ordering is these days. Sure, there are good reasons for it! But I don't have to like it.
I'd love to once again order something for a nice low price and have it delivered the day after tomorrow, like in the old days.
Scientists who publish papers have to present statistics About their results all the time. Scientists are generally trained in statistics, especially the biological/medical sciences.Exactly what percentage of the virologists are also statisticians?

I can't speak for all scientists but it is usually a required course at the college level and fundamental for working in any life science.Exactly what percentage of the virologists are also statisticians?

I got it "free" with my new car for a few months in 2017. Those bustards hounded me for a whole year to renew. A plague on them - oh wait.........Pet Peeve of The Day - Canceling my SiriusXM subscription. What a pain in the butt. After waiting in the queue had to decline six offers from "Steve". No thank you, please cancel my subscription . . . It was down to about $5.00 / month and even that was not worth it. I rarely use the car or the service. Canceled Netflix DVD system with a click of the button. That is the way to do it.

Actually you could lie and tell them you just traded your car in, and they won't try as hard. When I traded my 2011 cruze in for a 2016 malibu, it was easy to cancel the subscription. I just ignored the emails etc for the new car since I put the music I like on a flash drive and plugged it in to the slot.I got it "free" with my new car for a few months in 2017.

My peeve today is online retailers who don't deliver as promised.
A week ago I ordered face masks from an online retailer with the statement they were currently in stock and ready for shipment. I even ponied up an extra $4.95 for expedited delivery. The next day after placing the order the charge appeared on my CC.
Since it has been a week with no notification of shipment I emailed the company today for shipment details. I was advised they were out of stock and expecting delivery soon but the shipment is currently held up in customs.
Totally misled as they were obviously not in stock. Also the charge for expedited delivery was for naught. I would not be surprised if the masks showed only after this crisis has passed.
