So, I've had this recent medical condition that we're trying to get a handle on. Of course, my doctor is pointing to the #ADHD meds I've been on for years without issue as the culprit. I saw that coming from a mile away.

He was unable to suggest an alternative.

So, I think I figured out why my glucose levels (which had been improving) are spiking again. I got these protein bars to snack on that say they have 3g of sugar. Looking more closely at the label, they actually have a bunch of other stuff that breaks down into sugar as well.

That's unfortunate. They were tasty.

Okay, I'll bite.

What's with all the ../ memes for the past few weeks or so? I get that not sanitizing input for this is a serious security vulnerability, but it's such an elementary exploit that I don't understand why it suddenly seems to be all the rage. What's next? SQL injections? Buffer overflows?

I assume some big company made this mistake recently and I just wasn't paying attention?

Because I have a habit of misplacing things, I have a rule where my glasses are concerned: on my face or in the case.*

This rule does not help me so much when I misplace the case itself.

* This also serves to prevent me from leaving my glasses somewhere that they might be damaged.

#ADHD

So, we've had a problem with players being unable to respawn after dying in some circumstances. While I'm still not 100% certain what is causing this, I've written a mod to fix it if it happens.

If you find yourself stuck dead without the respawn option, you can now manually respawn by typing the /respawn command.

So the doctor has me on a heart monitor. I'm supposed to wear it for 72 hours and go about my life as normal. First night in, I woke up to two of the leads having detached.

When I was there, they showed me how to replace them and gave me spares so I was able to do that, but this doesn't bode well for the next two nights. I can't control what I do while unconscious.

Got back hone from an appointment with a form that specifically says it's to be filled out with blue or black ink.

Why do people have to be so boring?

#FountainPens

So it seems that to get the full effect of these new #FountainPen #inks, we need to get our hands on a wetter pen than the ones we've been using.

I have a TWSBI Diamond 580 that should fit the bill, but I'm waiting on a replacement cap that's stuck in the mail strike.

In the meantime, can anyone recommend a reasonably priced (ideally in the sub $100 range) that lays down a good amount of ink?

How old does a #FountainPen have to be before it's considered #vintage? The very first one I ever bought back in 2012 (a Parker GT Urban) doesn't seem to be available any more, though it is still available in ballpoint. Still, maybe I'm just getting old but 2012 doesn't feel very "vintage" to me.

I mean, it's kinda scuffed up because I was a newbie who had no idea how to take care of it, but I'm not looking to sell it or anything. It's more of a curiosity, really.
