@Felthry @DemonISM@donphan.social I saw some of that! I know they got ridiculed all to hell for it, especially by people they SPONSORED
Sometimes it feels like I'm right on the cusp of a mindblowing breakthrough. Like I just need the tiniest of sparks, the gentlest of nudges, to reach whatever it is out there. Something BIG.
And then I space out and completely forget the last 5 seconds, wondering what the hell it was I sat down to do in the first place.
USPOL
Less than 2 weeks remaining for Americans to vote! If you haven't registered to vote and legally can vote, then make sure you register now if it's not too late! If it is, check to see if you can register same day just in case! If you have registered to vote, then vote! Vote early if you can; some places allow you to vote at your local municipal clerk's office or similar. You may still have time to request an absentee ballot as well, do that right now if so! Do whatever it takes to make sure you get your vote in for this election. I know the choices are terrible, but we absolutely cannot have 4 more years of this administration running the country and our health into the ground.
AU Kilroy stuff
In an alternate universe, Kilroy was a rather infamous jewel thief, operating under the pseudonym Houdini! He scopes out potential targets during the day, then after hours he'll cover up his body and eyes, use his unheard-of abilities to teleport into areas without surveillance or normal points of entry like a bathroom or utility closet, nab the shiny, retreat back to his point of entry, and teleport out! His telekinetic ability allows him to manipulate objects without touching them!
It took a long time for anyone to figure out how he does it. He did eventually get caught (and arrested, though it took them 3 attempts before they got smart and kept him heavily sedated to keep him from teleporting away. He still managed to escape from his cell when someone forgot to keep him sedated a few months later.) To this day though, nobody knows where he keeps his collection of jewels; they remain quite hidden deep in a section of cave with its only entry point long since buried under 15 tons of rocks. It is now only accessible via teleportation
@Felthry my guess is, as with most innovations that do more harm than good, they didn't. They just saw a solution to a problem that was costing money, and implemented it without any thought to any harmful side effects
re: Ph (-), food
Tell you what though, as much as I love Kwik Trip food, I am NEVER having another mushroom and swiss burger from there again. I ate that Monday evening, and have been plagued with this problem since Tuesday afternoon >:C Can't really tell if it's the mushrooms or just the angus patty, or both; I kind of recall having problems with their other burgers (though not quite this severe) in the past. Sadly 9PM and later the choices are incredibly slim for grab and go eatery!
Ph (-), food
Hungry. Want to eat something, but putting myself on a liquid diet for up to 24 hours because I'm tired of pooping every couple hours to the point where it hurts. Hoping if I stop eating solid food for a bit whatever the hell is causing all this gas in my guts will flush itself out. If I can go the night without having to rush to the bathroom because I have explosive poops again then I'll eat me a delicious breakfast! Otherwise it's just coffee until lunchtime at work, whenever the hell that ends up being.
re: inadvisable drink
@Felthry If you have any open sores it might sting a little? I've had mixed reactions with using it to disinfect a wound. Sometimes it just feels funny as it fizzes, sometimes it stings a bit. Guess it depends on how big/deep the injury is
re: inadvisable drink
@Felthry Apparently it has no taste, at least until it reacts to the everything in your mouth, at which point it gets a nasty aftertaste of dead bacteria (apparently it can be used as a gargle if you use small amounts of a properly diluted mix of 3% hydrogen peroxide and water)
re: nudity mentions
@RussellTheFox Absolutely a mood
The Gregorian Calendar
The 29th day of the 13th month. It falls outside the normal week, so it would be like Saturday the 28th, followed by a day of celebration to bring in the new year with street festivals and the like, and then Sunday the 1st. How awesome would that be?
The Gregorian Calendar
I honestly feel like our current calendar system is a massive missed opportunity to simplify things. 12 months a year, but 4-5 weeks in a month, and anywhere between 28-31 days in a month.
But if we had 13 months in a year, we could have exactly 4 weeks in a month. Like literally every Friday would always have the same 4 dates. Yes there would be one extra day we would need to throw somewhere, but we could just have that be like a global holiday that falls between 2 weeks.
Granted it's not like I'm going to be screwed if the furnace does give out this winter; I do have a credit card that could easily cover the cost, but I'd REALLY like to avoid doing that considering the interest rate is insane and I only just recently paid the whole damn thing off. If I can hold off at least this winter I can get a couple other things paid off and be able to get a proper low interest loan for it.
So tired. One of these days I'll stop agreeing to working late nights all week.
...one of these days I won't actually need the money from it either. Hard to say no when you've got vehicle repairs and a furnace about ready to give out either this winter or next. THAT alone is going to set me back close to $5k since the whole thing needs to be replaced (updated to chimney-free HE model with better ductless air intake)
