Accidentally have a package mailed to your old address? At least it's not heart surgery. At least they’re not doing open heart! What heart surgery is truly non-invasive?

Apparently they're going in through one of the leg veins? I have no idea what heart surgery can be done that way, unless it's injecting something, and then it wouldn't be a surgery. Yay playing twenty questions with family until I figure all this out. And of course, it's just an overnight hospital stay, no need to come visit, etc.

They finally finished putting my new door up, and the whole thing only took about six hours! Oh, and they have to come back later to patch some holes in the trim and whatever else, because they just tacked that poo poo on with a loving nail gun. I ordered pizza earlier and when the delivery guy knocked I realized the new door doesn't even have a goddamn peephole, which may not seem like a big deal but I'd like to know if the person at my door is a delivery person, a neighbor, or a creepy stalker before I open it. And before you ask, yes, that last bit is a somewhat legitimate concern.  E: Oh yeah, and the new doors have electronic locks with a 4-digit pin. There is no deadbolt or secondary locking mechanism. God help you if someone discovers your code, or worse yet, the master code for all the doors. Like one of my neighbors already did. I don't know how he did it, but he told at least one other person, who demonstrated on someone's door a few nights ago (with their consent) and honestly I'm kinda creeped out by the whole affair. Can't wait til this lease is up so I can loving get out of here. Bees on Wheat has a new favorite as of 07:09 on Jul 16, 2019 |

I used to treat the patients that had these procedures done. It’s really cool to watch. Recovery is usually quick, although when they pull the sheath from your groin, the nurse has to stand grabbing your groin really hard for 20 minutes, so that’ll be fun.

WithoutTheFezOn posted:Could be installing a stent. Not sure if that’s the same as catheterization, or if the cath is part of the stent procedure, or what. They can put stents in during a catheterization. It’s really cool to watch. My favorite were watching fem-pops where they go in the groin, stick a flexible catheter up your femoral artery and over where the abdominal aorta splits, back down your femoral artery in the other leg and use what they called the “roto-rooter”, which was a high speed rotating blade that blasted through arterial blockages in the artery in the knee (femoral-popliteal artery) area that was blocking blood flow to the feet.

Two days in a row driving home I get stopped by a train that moves one direction very slowly, stops, slowly reverses, and repeats a few times. And my dumb sunk cost fallacy-committing rear end is sitting here waiting rather than making a u-turn and taking a long way around.

Watching Netflix through the BR is extremely laggy but watching it through the TV app means I can't use the sound system. Or maybe there's a way and I'm too dumb to figure it out.

My relief is an hour early because their car broke down and this is the only time they could get a ride for. So I can't listen to music for the last hour of my shift and have to sit in awkward silence because I'm bad at conversation. Also this is in fact the person who was supposed to relieve me those two days I was four hours late being relieved so that's probably not helping

It is 112-114F degrees outside. My ac is pumping out air about 75*F. My house is chilling at 87*F. My friend doesn't understand this because he has three window ac units, lives in a double-wide and his house is always 77 degrees max. I have a two bedroom house that is over 30 years old and the fucker has vaulted ceilings in the living room, and the air ducts have been cleaned....never. I should probably do that but what if the ducts are being held together by the dust alone?

Cowslips Warren posted:It is 112-114F degrees outside. Have you at least changed your filters? Those need to be done much more frequently than you may think. Do you have a large open floor plan or what? A large house without central air is rough but if you have a little finesse (and blackout curtains) you can drop the temp but quite a lot.

There’s some upcoming Total War: Warhammer 2 DLC. All the races in it have the same number of lords now, so I’m curious what they’ll add. They’ve only announced that more info is coming. I wanna know what they are noooow! Got an upgrade for my old iPhone for my birthday. No more headphone jack so I gotta have a big awkward dongle hanging from it if I want to listen to watch videos and keep it charged at work.

Do you guys not habitually plug all of your stuff in before you go to bed? A related first world problem is the beach house I’m staying at only has double pronged outlets in my room so I can’t do stuff and charge my computer at the same time unless I’m in the common room.

My Pixel XL 2 will not hold on to anything I plug into it. I clean the poo poo out of the port all the time and it's just not enough. My $20 Sony headset is a perfectly fine pair of headphones. I'm not buying a $100 headset just because phone manufacturers don't want to include 3.5 mm ports anymore.
