I went to the Detroit zoo with my dad today. While there were water bottle refill stations, for the suckers like us that didn’t bring bottles, all the water they sold came in $4 Aquafina cans.

The stupid neighborhood cat got locked in my apartment building all night meowing up a storm in the stairwell and I couldn't sleep. Must be part Siamese or something. Didn't want to chuck her out in the pouring rain, but not really take her in either (no litterbox; also what for, "now you can meow to be let out in here, buddy"?).

HOLY gently caress posted:For all their contact info, services offered, hours and other crap like that. although usually you just get a few empty pages and a big “Coming Soon!” banner, last updated in 2018 Yeah, pretty much. My GI doc has a page that feels really old, but I can message the staff who are very responsive and I don’t have to call. I can also book appointments and view my lab results. They can be useful if done well, even if they look dated.

I just sign into the online healthcare hub with my electronic ID and from there I can access some of my medical records, book appointments with any sort of specialist, and contact my GP. First world problems: My medical records have only been partially digitised so there's not a lot of it online. Like it only lists about three vaccinations and none of my many operations are listed at all. Also if I want a confirmation of being vaccinated against Covid I need to enter some code from my passport which means getting my passport all the way from that cupboard over there.

- I need to buy buy some Roach Motels, because the ones I had to capture a few bugs are somehow full. How the hell are they full, for God's sake? I've had, maybe, three, and my place ain't food-messy enough to cause that many bugs. Maybe the few I found are the heralds of a colony in my apartment building, oof. - I struggled to find a specific pair of shorts that had my debit card in it. Turns out, my wallet was on my desk this whole time. So like, yay, I have my debit card, but where in this catastrophic mess of clothes/etc did I put that pair? I never had to take them off, for gently caress's sake. They ain't in the shower area! - I figured I could lighten my mood going to the zoo tomorrow. Oh, it's loving raining this whole week. Ugh. This it a mild good thing, I suppose, because holy crap I am a Poor, are the apes made of gold ooph MisterBibs has a new favorite as of 12:45 on Jun 24, 2021 |

My microwave died today, so I've spent the last couple hours going over all the major brands and what they have to offer. My first world problem is who decided that we no longer needed numbers on the front of the microwave? (this is the worst offender, with just a stop, start and a useless slider on the front)  Yes, very sleek and stylish, but why did I need to open the goddamn door to program it?  Oh wait, there are still no numbers in here. You literally have to hold + or - until you get to the time you want. Hope you weren't aiming for half an hour, because 10 second increments is all you get. Even the 'cheap' ones only give you this:  If I wanted 3:50 on my old microwave, it was three button presses. On these, it's eight. We had numbers on the front for 50 years and now that's too much trouble?

having to open the door like that and hit plus or minus repeatedly to get my weird specific time (which it looks like I wouldn't even be able to get with this?) in would drive me nuts. also it looks like it would get fingerprinty as gently caress. i feel like there's a specific term for designing poo poo like this in an attempt to simplify things but somehow making them harder to use although I don't know what it is.

I'm so glad it's not just me who sets times like 4:23 or 5:19. I was genuinely shocked how horrible microwaves are now. You can buy super cheap ones at Target/Kmart which still have the traditional displays. Everything else has gone 'trendy'. I just want simple reliable poo poo to heat my dinner

I easily found a cheap rear end microwave with numbers at Walmart. I think it was like $50 or something. For being a cheap rear end microwave, it works fine at what you want a microwave to do.

Edit: getting mad at a teen for being a teen and his parents just told him to be more responsible. There is a difference between house sitting for two dogs, and house sitting when there are two dogs, and a bored 13-year-old who is left home alone for the first time and needs supervision. Fwp that isn't about that: my "new" work van came to me from another driver who never cleaned or stocked it. Or made sure any of the lights worked. Or got the check engine light looked at. Less than a day and it's in the shop. Cowslips Warren has a new favorite as of 04:11 on Jun 25, 2021 |

It’s not just you, friend! My UC was diagnosed almost 20 years ago and after several different mediocre meds, Entyvio has helped me into remission for almost 2 years. My FWP: we live in Florida and after our AC went out a couple years ago we had the whole thing redone, including a Nest thermostat, which we programmed for different temps throughout the day. We went on vacation last week and turned the Neat to Eco, since we wouldn’t be home and it would keep the temp not too high, but not run constantly. We were wrong and instead of running ~10-12 hours a day like normal, it ran constantly for 24 hours every day we were away and we came home to broken AC in the middle of summer in Florida. I’m hoping it’s just frozen coils and not a bigger problem, or else we’ll have to wait for the repair tech in this heat. Cacafuego has a new favorite as of 14:12 on Jun 27, 2021 |

Also TMI, and sorry if I’m a broken record about it but my husband has IBS and the low FODMAP diet has been a lifesaver. Monash University has a great app that shows what foods are low in short chain sugars and which kinds of sugars they have so you can narrow down exactly what foods may be causing problems. That plus an antidepressant have made a huuuuuge difference in his/our life. (Antidepressants can lessen the pain signal from the gut to the brain, or something like that. IANAD.)

The power is out at my warehouse job since a storm yesterday afternoon. We have a generator powering the lights (which we have to listen to all day), but nothing powering the computers for logging the stuff we’ve moved or anything else powered by wall outlets. The people in the office half of the building were called and told not to come, because they don’t have air conditioning, but we weren’t, despite no wall outlets meaning no fans.

Megillah Gorilla posted:My microwave died today, so I've spent the last couple hours going over all the major brands and what they have to offer. A bit late to the MW chat but maybe check out some of the whirlpool stuff? I've had a JT oven for years now and I think it has pretty great UI.  Mine is older and somewhat different with more buttons for modes, but the important bits are the same. Hit the rectangle button on the right and it starts at full blast for 30 seconds. So a few quick taps is enough to hear most things to reasonable temp. If you need more time, just turn the wheel which increases the time in 5, 15, 30 and 60 second increments. So you can be both precise if needed, but also go to like 20 minutes pretty quickly. If you need different power, tap the wheel.

I told my spouse I would get them a concrete lantern for the garden for their birthday and we have been to no less than five gardening and hardware stores and not a single one has one. Also yeah the covid vax. The first one gave me a bad migraine for like a day, spouse felt like it wasn't poo poo and lightly teased me over it, but was also kicked to the curb on the second one. The second one had both of us on our asses for a few days.

I hate that remembering the titles of classical music pieces is so hard. Can't google the lyrics, a lot of them have titles like "Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor: Op. 18: 2. Adagio (London Symphony Orchestra 2012)" or some poo poo and even if you remember the composer you're still like ok it's the Rachmaninoff one where the piano sounds like it's falling down the stairs oh gently caress that's like all of them the best solution is to just make a bunch of playlists but ugh

I've always had a hard time shopping for boxer briefs. The ones that aren't tiny European style all seem to have tiny legs, a huuuuuuge rise, and a flat front with no consideration for external anatomy. I got to thinking about the guys they are designing for - stick-legged eunochs who hike up their underwear past their belly button - and came to the realization that they are making underwear for mickey mouse.

I’m having a similar problem buying jeans. I’m recovering from Cushing’s syndrome, so I have a big middle and skinny little noodle arms amd legs. I’m built like SpongeBob SquarePants. When I tried to buy skinny jeans, any size that accommodates my waistline look like clown pants, because the legs are so baggy. Luckily the weight is coming off pretty quickly since my surgery.
