Wow, Patty Hadju getting shouted down with "SHAME!" for her speech forcing Canada Post workers to resume work from a legal strike position is good stuff.

LRT: I miss google reader so much

Sure there are other things, but it was... just really good.

Q: how much icy hot can you use before you die of transdermal icy hot poisoning?

Because I'm literally trying to just burn out my pain receptors now, sift through the wreckage later.

Everyone on the road is such a dickass today, wow.

My shoulder feels like someone drove a railroad spike through it.

Soooo... that's probably not good, right?

sometimes I wonder what it's like to be a functional person

I'm having a hard time coming up with the willpower to make even really easy, terrible food

That's super futuristic stuff.

I'm also lucky to have work dental insurance that covers it

It's 11pm and I weirdly want to make and eat an entire box of KD, but I don't have any :(

Case should be grounded, so hoping that was just the voltage spike messing with the signals along the cables, not any actual hardware

Wow, I just touched my computer case and got a nice loud, visible arc of static electricity that turned my screens off for half a second

The good news: they upgraded my broken tooth with a new one they manufactured on-site with 3D scans of my mouth. I have a CYBER TOOTH.

The bad news: the anaesthetic wore off, oof.
