Here we are again, by now I have no idea how many tidbits articles I have written as I have lost the counts although I do know that I have written more than ten tidbits by now and that is a decent numbers for tidbits articles considering that I have started writing the tidbits late in last year. Maybe if you look at the number, ten that it seems a very small number and somewhat it is but it is pretty a lot to me because I have written over three hundred articles on here. If I am to combine my other blogs or on a few local news media I have written over a thousand articles and that is exhausting. When it comes to blogging or write a piece, it somewhat mess with your head a bit because it tends to exhaust your thinking and gives you a bit of headache because for any bloggers who is passionate in blogging does more than just writing whatever that comes to their mind. Every day I have to keep up with news, check with some of the people everyday and the likes then do a research to make sure that whatever I am to share my opinion on certain topics is valid because I don’t want to not knowing the depth on some issues then blog them. That wouldn’t be right for all of readers who reads bloggers blogs everyday as there is a lot of blogs out there, I mean who would want to give out an information that is not even true and or share some opinion on something that they don’t know what they are all about before doing any research? So everyday I would check up some news whether it be online or on television, check up with some of the things such as some products that I would like to get my hands on so that I can share my opinion or review on some of the products because I never will share my thoughts or my review on some products that I never even have tried before which that would make no sense and write any topics or notes that I think would be interesting for me to do some research to see if it is something that would worth my time to blog my opinions about whatever it is that I have found.
Nonetheless, I apologize that I kept you waiting for the tidbits to start so I am going to start writing some tidbits and I hope that you will enjoy reading today’s tidbits. I hope that this tidbits article won’t get long but again some of us know that it depends on some of the topics or issues that I want to talk about in the tidbits article.
Tidbits 9-10-’16
Can somebody play a drumroll and a riff on an electric guitar before I begin the tidbits article? I am kidding.
Wal-Mart’s Problem
I don’t know if you saw it or not in a couple of days ago where I had a beef with both Wal-Mart headquarter and the local Wal-Mart here. If you follows me on Twitter or on JoshiesWorld’s Facebook page then you know what happened with Wal-Mart and myself but if you aren’t following me on Twitter or like JoshiesWorld Facebook page then you probably have no idea what happened. Luckily I wrote an article about the Wal-Mart situation on here which you can read it here. Wal-Mart Today Pickup Sucks.
That did not stop there, as the situation arises and continued. As I said at the end of the article that it was two hours past the estimated time for a pick-up, the next day in the evening which that was yesterday I decided to check the Wal-Mart online to see if their estimate date with time have changed as it said it would be ready to be picked up two or three days ago but the status of the order still said processing and that it wasn’t ready for a pickup. On that night we called, they said that it should be ready to be pickup in at least two hours past the estimated date so we took their words which that would means around 11 o’clock and that is the time that I am usually in bed but before I went to bed at about 10:45 I checked the Wal-Mart online to see if anything changed but nothing have changed so I decided that I would just give it another day. Then in the next day, which was yesterday in the evening at about 6 o’clock which is almost 24 hours past the estimated and I decided to check the Wal-Mart online again expecting that it should be saying that it is ready for a pickup. So I went on checking, the estimated date never changed and it still said that it was processing?! We decided to call the Wal-Mart headquarter’s customer service about that, their customer service weren’t so friendly as they started arguing and I calmly said “the bottom line, the question is why is it saying it’s not ready when it should have been ready last night?” and they responded “you are cancelled” in angry voice then they hang up the phone.
That shocked us, I was baffled and pondered to myself on why did Wal-Mart customer service acted that way when I was probably being the nicest I have ever been in my life to that person in their customer service? I checked the Wal-Mart online and it said “cancellation requested”. The thing is that I have never requested cancellation, all I asked was why am I not getting The Flash season 2 DVD on the estimated date and that they are taking too long. Before I ordered The Flash season 2, on right side of the Wal-Mart online where you will see a few nearby Wal-Mart stores and I seen that my Wal-Mart would have The Flash season 2 DVD ready by today but that never happened. With that being said, I don’t think I ever will order anything from Wal-Mart online and I will try to reduce myself from buying anything from Wal-Mart because why in the heck would I want to shop at a store that never made me feel welcomed? Exactly.
Relocating Government
I came across a blogger’s blog which for some reason I cannot remember its name and its website address but I remember what it is about so I will share my opinion on this. If I find the article again I will leave a link underneath this topic so that you can read someone’s opinion on this. It was talking about what if we relocate the government buildings to somewhere, moves all of agencies and departments to different areas but leave the white house, house of representatives and senates in Washington, D.C. The blogger had suggested specific areas which I cannot remember them either, apparently I have a short-term memory or something but the point is relocating and the reason is so if we are to be in a war that the main target would be in Washington, D.C. obviously since in Washington, D.C. is where everybody runs this country United States of America. So his argument is that what if the enemy launched a nuclear bomb in the Washington, D.C. then all the governments building, agencies and the white house would be destroyed within’ few seconds as they are in one spot as it would all take one nuclear bomb to destroy everybody that runs this country so that is a scary thought if you ask me.
So what if we relocate some of these government and agencies buildings to different areas to clutter them around so that way if the Washington, D.C. were to be hit then we would still have the governments that is cluttered out in different places running this country to defend the country from another enemy country. I agree with that idea, I think that we should start relocating these departments and agencies in different places while at the same time it will also make the states that they relocated feel more safe as they would be closer to them and not being afar from them in Washington, D.C. If it weren’t for me being sentimental, I would want Washington, D.C. to be no longer Washington, D.C. and make Washington, D.C. a new city in the state of Maryland since it is in Maryland state anyway. While at the same time I wouldn’t want to do that because it carries a rich of history, being that Washington, D.C. is where the forefathers of the United States such as George Washington that created a great country named United States of America. What do you think? Should they relocate the government’s departments and agencies to different areas such as in other states by an upstate or downstate while the rest goes to the west like California, Washington, Colorado or somewhere. Leave a comment below!
Update! I have found the article, finally as I just realized that I have bookmarked the article because I was planning on to write about it a couple of days ago but here is the article that I was referring to.
Move the federal government out of Washington by CNN
Cigarettes
Everybody has their own preference in cigarettes brand, as we know that the top ten brands is Marlboro, Camel, Pall Mall, Parliament, Lucky Strike, Davidoff and few more. We know that Marlboro is the leading brand with Camel behind and Lucky Strike is pretty much a third or fourth with Davidoff as the search engines said. I am heavy smoker, I smoke about three to four packs of cigarettes a day and that is because I am up about 20-22 hours a day so that is several hours with several cigarette packs a day so I am a chain-smoker. Some of the people who asks their loved ones to quit smoking doesn’t understand how difficult it is to quit, especially if they have never smoked cigarettes and what they don’t understand is that cigarettes soothes the people’s nerves. So it depends on how bad nerves they have, the more nerves they have the more cigarettes they will be smoking and that is the case with me as I am mostly stressed everyday but at the same time it is bad for all of us unfortunately. It is like, they will help you calm your stress or nerves and in return it will destroy your lungs. Lungs is of course more important than stress or nerves but being overly stressed everyday is no fun. Do I encourage smoking? Absolutely not. The entire of my family generations is a smoker, apparently it is in my genes so I am a smoker but the difference is that I am heavier smoker than them all which is not a good thing. At the first time I was actually a light smoker, smoking maybe a pack a day at the first or two but a few years ago I decided that I would give it a try to quit smoking so I did. I could only get as far as four days and I pretty much broke down completely so I started back smoking immediately, while doing so I craves for them even more than ever and that increased my smoking from one or two packs to three or four packs a day.
So if you want to quit smoking then that is something that you should think about because after quitting then if you decide to go back smoking you might crave for them more than you ever have in your entire life. If you are to quit smoking, decided to back to smoking then I suggest that you don’t jump in and smoke the heck out of them to ease your craving for some smokes. Try to stay with the same amount you have smoked in the past before you decided to try to quit smoking and or better yet try to smoke less than you have in the past which that would be great. I have given a try more than once actually, that never worked well for me and I don’t think I ever will be quitting at any time in my life. Something to think about, if I hadn’t decided to give it a try, to quit smoking then I may still be smoking a pack to two packs a day instead of three to four packs a day and that is something that I regret doing so. Nonetheless I wish that I could find Lucky Strike, I loved Lucky Strike and it is unfortunate that they now limited them in some areas as there are none around here.
We Rely On Time
I don’t know if you had noticed, we rely on time every day and every night. Since we were born, the doctors are required to write in the time that we were born and when we are dead they are required to write in our time of death. So our life is pretty much based on time, a clock or a watch and alarms. Have you ever thought about what if you just unplug all the devices that have the time on them and give it a week without seeing any time to see how your week goes? I strongly rely on time for my every day and every night. I can never lives without a time, I need alarms to know when I need to wake up or to sleep and to watch something on television or to work. So imagine if time is no such a thing in our lives then how would our lives looks like? Something to ponder on.
GoPro Hero 5
GoPro company have hinted that they are coming out with something on september, 19th and that would be a good chance of releasing or announcing the GoPro Hero 5 along with a new product such as GoPro Drone named Karma to compete an undoubtedly successful drone’s company DJI with their Phantoms. I am somewhat excited about this because I am GoPro fan, as I own GoPro Hero 2, GoPro Hero 4 Black Edition and GoPro Session. Looking forward to have my hands on GoPro Hero 5 as I am positive that I probably will be buying their next camera flagship but I am worried about their new drone product, the Karma because I am curious what GoPro is planning on to price the drone Karma for. If it is to compete against DJI then it would undoubtedly be close to DJI’s prices which is around a thousand dollars for DJI’s newest flagship the Phantom 4 drone.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7
If you own Samsung Galaxy Note 7, the company Samsung says that everyone must return the Note 7 and will either be refunded or allow the Samsung to replace the faulty component inside the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. The faulty component in the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is the battery, Samsung stated that all the Note 7 has a faulty battery in them and asks that they are to be returned to the carrier for refunds or allow Samsung to replace with a different brand of battery because most of the people who owns had their Note 7 exploded when they charges them. So if you own a Samsung Galaxy Note 7, please immediately returns your Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to your cell phone carrier and decide what you want to do with it such as getting a refund for a different phone or allow Samsung to replace your Note 7’s battery. When you return yours in, you cannot get another Note 7 because all of them has a faulty battery and the only way that you can have the Note 7 is if you let Samsung to replace the battery which can take several weeks.
Samsung urges consumer globally to stop using Galaxy Note 7 by Washington Post
Hint: That is something that Apple would never do and their smartphone is the most safest phone. iPhone 7 is now waterproof and have a better camera along with better face camera. So if you want a refund then I recommend iPhone 7 plus.
