Almost 1 year after a big layoff, in that in between time for fiscal stuff, and suddenly I can't access parts of the work network.
Likely a coincidence.

In a rare event, Molly has decided to join me on the couch.
Does it have to do with Hector's food bowl being here and she hopes I can refill it for her?
Probably.
The crossing of the killers, reporter, police, and famiy is interesting. What do you do when someone you know is doing something they shouldn't? What do you do when someone you know is a danger to what you are doing? How can you keep disparate worlds close but not colliding? Lots of plot potential here.
Middle aged men with glasses committing violence amongst dad jokes and intrigue.
Well worth the watch.
Called it on the coma!
A really good looking 6 foot-something tall guy passes out within 10 feet of an emergency room door in Korea...
And no one notices??
Calling bullshit on this. 🤭
I bought a wrist blood pressure monitor. Because injured hand and ease of use if I need to use it 2x a day.
I didn't realise it was a yelling blood pressure monitor though. I didn't realise there were yelling blood pressure monitors at all. Apparently this is a thing for seniors?
Maybe I really am an 80-year old woman now. 👵
(Also, omg, a volume button is needed on this! Please! Getting yelled at is not good for blood pressure, and I am sure not all seniors want to get yelled at.)
At the team dinner with President Kang, bomb shots are made by one of the employees.
Whenever I see a scene like this my primary thought is always that the restaurant staff cannot be paid enough to clean up after people showing off to their bosses this way if it happens with the regularity you see it in #kdrama. Because wow does that make a mess.

The 3 country ahjummas successfully interrogating a gangster with threats of violence.... howling! 🤣🤣🤣
I love telling people about the time there was a show called Mrs. Columbo, because almost no one knows about it, but I loved it so much as a kid. Seriously early Kate Mulgrew work, and she was pretty fierce even then.
Tonight's movie night pick is #UnexpectedFamily , with unexpected #JackieChan as an old man with Alzheimer's. Supposed to be a comedy with that start. So, um, yeah. Here we go.
I have had almost a year to deal with the fact that my left hand is various levels of injured and I shouldn't use it to pick up stuff.
Anyway, I am in pain now because I picked up a salami at the farmers' market with my left hand.
I swear that Chrome is trying to make itself absolutely unusable. Today I can't copy and paste with my mouse which is highly problematic because using Control + X/V/C requires me to flex the injured part of my injured hand and wtaf with the lack of options here? As a tester, copy and paste is a HUGE part of my day.
(This is my work machine, I have no option to use another browser so please so not respond with how I should switch.)

@N33R@fops.cloud that is Cooking for Geeks! I have the cookbook. Used to be a website. The marshmallow recipe is the best, I have made it many times.

As we process this we realise the reason it was such a deal is it is the seconds... irregular sizes of breasts, some are bad cuts, etc.
Which is not a problem since we are slicing them.
Seconds ftw.
Partner ordered a bottle of this when he was looking at soju and maekgeolli on the LCBO site. We dubbed it jet fuel and didn't drink much. It's north of 50% so a little goes a long way. But we didn't appreciate it til tonight after we read this and tried again per the recommendation on how to drink it.
It still doesn't take much though.

Just did a 10 minute ride comfortably for the first time in months thanks to this little piece of plastic.
Thanks to physio suggestions and bike mods I just had my first decent complete workout in ages. I hurt, but in good ways. Woohoo!
To get to and from the floor safely with one hand when needed, the physiotherapist recommended a modified Turkish get up.
My gods that is a workout, especially for someone who hasn't been able to do much exercising for a while. 😟
A friend who works at a hospital messaged me to see if the referral to the hand surgeon had maybe gotten lost. I texted my dr's office, and THREE MONTHS LATER they don't know if the hand surgeon has even accepted the referral.
I have had problems with this office recently so if this has fallen through I am definitely looking for a new doctor because the NP I have been seeing has been really dismissive already and I am getting pissed off. I lost my 30s to vertigo caused by this behaviour im a practitioner, and I'll be damned if I am losing more of my life to bad healthcare if I can help it.

Sometimes sideways thinking is the better option than trying to find the perfect item for exactly what you are doing. Here's hoping it works.
My cats don't get treats often. Having had various cats with dietary issues means we tend to stick to kibble and wet only, with kibble doubling as treats. A friend brought a bag of Temptations for them, and they obviously love it. Because of Hector's IBS they only get one piece very occassionally, and afterwards they hunt EVERYWHERE to see if they can find more, for a long time. Their attention span is never this good for anything else.
Definitely Kitty Crack.

@kmmich@mas.to @N33R@fops.cloud ah yes, Cooking for Geeks is the cookbook name related to that I believe
At the point in the one handed keyboard setup where I am painstakingly adding stickers for various key layers. And ow. There is pain.
Also, I need a way to label some of the keys still. A labelmaker may be in my future.
Gu Ho is dressed as a bandit in the Joseon era, chasing after a maiden Yi Rang as part of a story being told by James to some marks.
Yi Rang's "father" begs for the bandit to not take his daughter, and in the process manages to pants Gu Ho.
Partner: don't look honey!
Me: that's an elasticised waistband, highly unlikely to have existed at all in the Joseon era, let alone in the possession of a bandit.
Partner: damn, too late.

That worked surprisingly well. It may actually do what I want as is.

My idea this morning is to take this out of the obvious #Bicycle options and look at #motorbike instead. And I find many #3dprint options for a throttle assist. I am printing one out now to try and maybe modify. It seems like basic point to start from for a support for what I need.

Warning is over, but Hec is still pacing around trying to find the source of the offensive noise.

Hector is extremely unimpressed by the sound of the alert on the cell phones. His tabby judgy face is more judgy than usual.

@DarkestKale@mastodon.social try to find one without the yelling. I don't like sudden loud noises and it is startling af every time.

@masek@infosec.exchange we kept a bunch of spare BNC cables for an embarassing number of years before donating them because "someone might have a use for them".

@fesshole@mastodon.social seems gramatically and contextually correct to me.
We left the windows open last night. It is currently 16C in here. I am freezing. I love it.
Actual outdoor temp: 9C feels like 7. ♥️

I lead one meeting at work, and it is very popular since I have been able to replace it with a Slack thread every week for months.
The work involved has actually become more efficient since I did this as well.
