People that complain about the weather. Yeah, it's hot today, it's summer what do you expect? A few months from now the same people will be bitching about the cold.

Probably just me, but I get irked when people rip on weather men. They are literally predicting the weather.

They are using advanced algorithms and historical records of data to crunch numbers and weigh different models to help form a consensus. It's incredible when you sit back and think how difficult that must be. Think about the complexity of a million different variables that must exist, and 9 out of 10 times they absolutely nail it.

Then it snows 5 inches instead of 7 and everyone bitches. Fuck you, everyone.

well, technically the computers are running 1000's of simulations by changing variables slightly as seeing the possible results. I think it's a problem with people not understanding how the predictions work. 20% chance of rain doesn't mean it'll rain 20% of the time today, it means that 20% of the simulated models show rain formations occurring.

but yeah, it's not like they're not trying their best, and it's not like national government agencies and local stations haven't invested millions in getting it as right as possible. it's also amazing how much historical data is actually out there (we've been doing observation/tracking in the US since the early 1800's).

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

BS class action lawsuits where the attorneys make all the money and the class of actual victims get pennies, literally.

I just received a class action notice against facebook if you bought their shares during their IPO, which I did.

in exchange for payment of 26.5 mil, I would get ..... 15.5 cents. The attorneys? they get 1/3 of the 26.5 mil ....

im an attorney but this is such BS.

they dont even tell you what Facebook did.

The only explanation given is this: "The lead Plaintiff's alleged that the NASDAQ defendants acted negligently in violation of the federal securities laws in connection with Facebook's IPO on May 18,2012, and that retail investors in Facebook common stock that day suffered damages as a result of that conduct."

WTF? when i got a class action notice re a B of A issue where i know i lost 2k plus in fraudulent fees, i called the number that had been given on the notice which directed you to a website ... the website was "under construction" all the way up to last day to opt out. i got a check from B of A for a few bucks.


Class actions are BS, they only enrich the attorneys.
