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.

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

"ok yeah send my private medical info to a foreign corporation, go ahead"

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.

But the simple truth is that windows is designed to be susceptible to viruses to discourage people from using non-microsoft software.
Can you... elaborate on that one?
Cleaning and re-inking my #FountainPens and I managed to spill one of my favourite Inkvent sample bottles. Fortunately, I somehow managed to save the majority of the ink. Don't ask me how.
I guess it's gonna be one of those days...

I love marketing.
"We're committed to reduce our carbon footprint by shipping directly from the manufacturer to the consumer."
Sooo... drop shipping then? That's one way to spin it, I guess.

I'm particular about my morning coffee. I always have 170g of coffee to 15g of flavouring syrup. (I used to drink double that, but I'm trying to keep the stimulants down.) The ratio is important.
Every now and again (like this morning) I accidentally overshoot on the syrup and have to adjust the amount of coffee to compensate.
This means, I get extra coffee (yay!) but I have to do semi-complicated math before my morning coffee, which is a little annoying.

Encountered my first mask ban in Canada. I had hoped we were smarter than this, but I suppose I'm not surprised. I guess they value their bottom line over public health, but it's a vape store, so I suppose that tracks.

Edit 2: It has been pointed out to me that there is an exemption for medical masks in the tiniest font imaginable at the bottom of the sign... almost as though they don't want you to read it.

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