Me playing #NetHack: Why am I doing so poorly with this bow and arrow?

Turns out I'm not holding the bow and am just throwing the arrows.

I guess that explains it. 🙃

Seriously!?

Who sets off fireworks in a thunderstorm?

Almost just fell for a spearphishing attack. These things can be scarily convincing if you're not paying attention. It was an email purporting to be from my VPS provider saying there was a problem with my payment information.

Apart from the fact that the email address it was sent from and the site it linked to were random domains obviously not associated with my provider, the fact that when I looked at the source of the message, the image of their logo was <img src="https://en.wikipedia.org/..."> was a bit of a tip off as well.

I'm so mad at myself right now.

I went to a routine blood work appointment. I do this every three months, so I should know the drill. I forgot the appointment card. No problem. I booked it online, so they'll have it on file. Problem is, When I reached for my wallet to get my health card, it wasn't there. They need one or the other. I had to reschedule the appointment.

Worst part? When I got home, I found my wallet in my messenger bag. I had it the whole time. 🤬

I laid down "for a quick nap" this afternoon. Just woke up. It's almost midnight.

I guess the sleep deprevation of the past week has finally caught up with me.

Just heard a kid address his group of friends he was physically seated with as "chat". Is this a thing?

Maybe I'm just old.

For reasons I shan't get into, Katy had to adjust her diet for 24 hours, and I decided to do likewise so as to not make the experience any more unpleasant for her than it had to be. After reading the label, I have come to the conclusion that Ensure meal replacement shakes are not designed with diabetics in mind. They have about 75% of the sugar content of a can of Coke.

Oops...

At the hospital again for nearly two hours. Still waiting to see the one after-hours doctor they have on staff...

It's going to be a long night. I can already tell.

Time to go inside for some fresh air.

...weird that that's now the world that we live in.

Just found doilies at the local No Frills™.

I'm not going to tell them what to stock, but I feel I should point out that this is the literal definition of a frill.

Kitchener Public Library has discontinued their 3D printer program, but Waterloo Public Library hasn't.

In other news, I now have a custom phone holder for the car.

TIL my local grocer uses network connected e-ink displays for price tags. I just watched all the prices in a whole aisle change before my eyes.

That was... creepy.

A thing that's always bothered me about Star Trek:

They always talk about the Alpha quadrant, Delta quadrant, etc. Space is three-dimensional. Shouldn't they be octants?

Went to the emergency room today (everyone's fine) to discover that the two main hospitals in town have merged.

Me: Hmm... I wonder what the implications of this are going to be.

First words out of the doctor's mouth when he sees us: Are you okay with us using AI to record and transcribe this conversation?

Me: ಠ_ಠ

So, I've recently learned that solo RPGs... exist.

This is going to be bad for my bank account.

I wonder if there's a market for someone who can convert a schematic drawing (or rough sketch) to an STL file for #3DPrinting on a freelance basis. I'm getting to be pretty decent at it, and it's kinda fun.

I'm pretty sure there's probably already some AI garbage that purports to do so.
