Had to help my mom order a bunch of Markiplier "Unus Annus" merch for my preteen niece for Xmas :stahp

Both of us were going "It's not 'anus', right?"

Also jesus christ the store website is horrible, I guess dancing skeleton GIFs on the loading screens means you're too cool to make a well-designed and performant website. :idont

I officially don't get young people. :snoop

Either of my kids seems to need to run the hair dryer when I'm actively trying to listen to something. It never fails. The hair dryer never runs when I'm reading or writing or otherwise uninvolved with hearing.

I don't know why this set me off, but I got so pissed off last night. I've been getting unwanted magazine subscriptions (Sports Illustrated/Businessweek) to my house the past few weeks. So, I looked up the customer service #'s of both companies and called to cancel it.

Turns out some "third party" bought me a subscription and then I have to call them to outright cancel. The magazine companies can only "suspend deliveries".  And these companies have shady-ass names like Subco or International Magazine Retailers. You never get ahold of a person and it always puts you to voice mail.  So, now I've wasted an hour of my life on this bullshit I never asked for, but have to do due diligence on it, so I don't get shaken down for money down the road.

I've never written a congressperson before, but this shit makes me want to. Even though it would be a moot point.

Reading up on it, apparently unwanted magazines is some pretty common bullshit. The magazines make most of their money on ad numbers so they go to morally-questionable lengths to artificially make their subscriber base look larger than it actually is as that directly increases the value of their ad space.

Probably why they have the subscription managed by a third-party company, gives some deniability. At first I thought it was money laundering or some sort of mail fraud but no...it's just stupid ad-driven economics.

The Atlantic had a promo where it was 5 dollars for a year. I signed up for 1 year.

5 years later they keep coming, but I only ever paid the initial 5 dollars

Worst part is they send me mail about how my subscription is ending and I can renew for 20 dollars or whatever

But it never ends.

I freaking hate that IGN redirects to the Japanese version of their site just because I'm accessing it from Japan. Browsers can be surveyed for preferred language. I do not give a single, flying turd that they've got a Japanese website.

Treated myself to some carving gouges that were suppose to be of good/decent quality and made in USA.  Came from China and I got hit with customs that made them about as expensive as the truly premium gouges.  :(

So I’m just minding my own business prepping for Christmas dinner. When all of the sudden I smell something that’s just off enough to my nose. I followed the smell to a literal burning dumpster fire. I got my BBQ gloves and moved the dumpster away from the building and into the open parking lot. Tried a fire extinguisher but it wasn’t enough for it apparently.



Yes that is a bible and no it is not lost on me how funny that is.

Typing this on an AZERTY keyboard because I had a pre-Christmas party with Tokyo peeps, and spilled a full Negroni on my Apple Wireless Keyboard.  Now it really likes the shift key to stay locked, and types "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" whenever it has a chance. I think it's saying I'm boring.

Not an inconvenience or struggle for me, but JESUS CHRIST I feel bad for devs trying to keep up with MS's shit.

.NET5 + WinUI get to access all the shiny technologies Win10 has
Yes, this combination is going to be the winning formula going forward. If you had to pick a new technology to build Windows apps today, this is going to be it.

Emphasis on "today." Tomorrow it might be UWP2.0 and .NET Native2.

They've even managed to botch the WSL1->2 transition, which had been winning them a lot of dev love from the Linux crowd.

Oh, MS. :snoop

Our little guy MAX has been having some issues lately with coughing, irritation, and salivary issues. So a few weeks ago I started trying to get him an appointment to see the Vet. The main Vet we go to which is a feline only Vet was dodgy and wouldn’t get back to us. Come to find out COVID was running through their facility and two of the Vet techs came down with it so they shut down for 10 days. So I decided to look for another place and put him on their wait list. A week goes by and his condition worsens and he’s struggling so I decided to see if someone was at our normal Vet. They were able to get him in the next day and they said he was fine... But he has a heart murmur and needs to have the salivary gland removed. But to make sure they need to take blood and perform a echocardiogram on him before moving forward (Jesus it’s expensive.) I ok’d the blood work and we scheduled his echo and left.

I took him with me and got some frozen custard his favorite treat since he was such a good boy.

We get home and our other cat was by the door hissed at us and something snapped in that cat. It’s been now 3 days of walking on eggshells with this demon cat that feels trapped and is not normal at all. I tried the first night to coax him out of an area where he could feel “trapped” but he just goes to another area where he backs up to the wall and just growls like a dog. We’ve tried food, treats, toys you name it to get him to snap out of it but he just isn’t coming around. I went outside near the window where he’s trapped himself and he acts all normal like he’s got some fucking form of kitty dementia or something. Leave to the healthy cat to create more problems than the sick kitty does...

My hand is so fucked up from his outbursts. The teeth penetrations and deep nail punctures are some of the worst I’ve ever gotten from an animal. It’s so hard because I love the cat, but this is like a different cat entirely. We’ve been guarding ourselves at night while we sleep since he has just started being so hostile to us. At this point I need a damn cat exorcist or Jackson Galaxy to come and save us.

Ordered some bagels online and didn’t notice the date for the delivery is next month. On the plus side that means they’ll be here a day before the missus’ birthday. So I guess that’s a win? I wanted some bagels and to use up my gift card for me not her.

Demon cat is still not himself. Woke up last night to a huge bleeding gash in my leg running from my calf to my ankle. We’ve tried just about everything to get him to calm down and return to normal. The vet suggested he could have had a stroke... He is eating and using the litter box at least. We’ll be taking him in on Monday.

In some cases modern motherboards have a Windows 10 installation build in and you only need a serial key.
Cloning everything is not going to work though.

COVID-forced stay-at-home policy means I'm not moving as much as I'd like. This has lead to weight gain which then required exercise. Exercise caused injury, which led to sedentary behavior, which caused more weight gain.

Ya.  Start of covid, I was coming off a really rough year that I put on weight.  By summer I was pretty active doing home work outs and doing well.  Then my back gave out and haven't really gotten back to it.  I've been working on my diet though, cutting out some sugar and booze and that has helped.

After this last year I need a personal trainer and a gym membership to get back on track. I was thinking about getting a game plan going with a trainer, putting those Biden bucks to good use.

I can’t have my knee surgery till I lose enough weight. And I can’t be as active because of the knee injury. So I’ve had to get creative. Got a home lifting setup only to have it recalled by the manufacturer. So I can’t use that for my modified workouts till the boat from China gets in with my replacement. Because of that I decided to splurge and got a air bike trainer from Rogue for cardio. That’s been fantastic and well built for my fat ass.

Death to sugars, they are evil.
