Any time I create an account where the password policy forbids a certain class of character I know I might as well just hand my PII over to the data brokers directly.

Well, I've finally reached the point where I have to stop putting off getting new glasses.
Picked out new frames that are rather different from anything I've worn historically, and I can't believe how stupidly much I love them.
Sadly, it's going to take a couple weeks before they're ready, so I have to keep wearing my boring old glasses for a while.

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. π

Seriously!?
Who sets off fireworks in a thunderstorm?
Yeah, unlocking the bootloader may be challenging.
It's why I've always avoided their hardware. The hardware itself is lovely, but their OS is kinda meh, and they're usually locked down.
Motorola/Lenovo, too.
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 got one "from" a service provider.
It said I had to log in to confirm something.
My password manager didn't fill in ID and password. I was just about to do it manually when my Spidey sense wondered why.
The login address was 1 character off. Another good reason to use a pw manager.
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. π€¬

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.

Don't know yet if it's something I'll use long-term, but it is at least interesting to play with for now.
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 Frillsβ’.
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.

in reply to Shae Erisson • •@Shae Erisson It's a thing my doctor's been keeping an eye on for a while now. My heart rate will occasionally just spike for no apparent reason. I'm told it's "an electrical issue, not a plumbing issue" which is apparently far less serious.
At present, it's nothing more than a nuisance. I'm wearing the monitor for now to see of they can actually catch it happening to better diagnose, but in general, it doesn't affect my day-to-day.
