I'm not sure how to respond...

He is either really pissed, or didn't care...

Can't decide which.
Is this one of those word riddles? "F-ckin' construction" --> "f-ck in construction" --> "con f-ck struction"...

imgur.com is very easy to use, just go to the page and drag the image into there, it automatically uploads and gives you embed codes for forums (like this one!). If the image is too wide for the forum, you can click "large thumbnail" on imgur and it will give you a different embed code that embeds the "large thumbnail" (about the perfect size for the forum) and you can click on it to get to the full size as well.

Gyazo is even more automated, but I don't use it anymore. I think embedding was kinda weird with it.

I don't personally like Dropbox for this purpose because then I have a Dropbox public folder full of this kind of stuff, and when I clean it out, the image is gone from the thread. With imgur, they stay on there "forever". To each his own, though.

Yeah, that's about what I figured, which is why I enclosed "forever" in scare quotes. (To be honest, I thought it was a year since the last view, not that it particularly matters.) Basically, in threads that remain relevant it shouldn't usually be a problem. It's certainly more "forever" than a Dropbox public folder that I might clean out.

Haha, I do that as well. Usually I leave the first message and then leave a second message saying something like "oh it's me sketch".

**also, notice how they "don't know" where they are on the Merritt Pkwy :roll:
Likely "idk" was input into the "house number" field. Which seems fair enough..

I had an eta on a 205 mile one way trip through the mountains be accurate to 2 minutes this past Saturday. Don't know how Waze pulled that one off since there isn't much cell coverage where I went.

I had a trip from Ramona to Santa Barbara, the entire way to and from I was thinking there was no way it could be that correct. But I actually pulled into both driveways at the exact minute it said I would. Impressed to say the least. This was in San Diego and LA rush hour I should also note.

Only recalculated once! Told me time increased by 5 minutes.

Kudos on Waze for that one.
