I get it, they’re probably trying to avoid having a cute harvest moon/stardew valley trading vegetables for seashells game next to Crush Your Employees LLC Tycoon, which is the vibe I’m guessing they’re going for

That's probably it right there, but I also enjoyed it as a cheap shot at 'capitalists are bad' while they could.

After literally years of complaining for a new water machine at work, the hospital gave us a new water and ice dispenser. They kept giving us arrival date estimates for this machine they had “on order from the company” over the weeks. It arrived during my weekend. It has crust all over it and an inch of dust on top and is clearly not new.

I dispense water into a centrifuge tube, spin it down, and put it in one of our urine microscopy slides. Bacteria. I try the ice dispensing part. It has black spots in the ice. I make a slide of that and thaw it with the warmth of my finger. It is mold or algae or some poo poo and it is alive. Little creatures are eating each other in there. A whole thriving ecosystem of microbes I don’t even recognize, and I made 106% in microbiology. This is supposed to be water for patients.

I’m hauling up more bottled water cases today.

Thankfully smartphone cameras are great at looking through microscopes. Videos of it have been sent to every clinical employee of the unit and emailed to my boss, her boss, risk management, and the boss of the department that brought us this lovely machine.

This thing is also like a constant 90 db of noise when plugged in

I think it's 2 hours or two weeks after purchase now. We purchased a co-op game in a sale and then didn't get around to playing it for a while, then when we finally got the group together to try it the game was dogshit so we quit just before the 2 hour mark and tried to refund it. Got denied because it had been too long since the purchase date. Which is kind of fair but also buying things and not playing them for years is the Steam meta, dammit.



I've had good results with refunds, but I very, very rarely refund games. I refunded No mans sky on launch day, and recently refunded an otherwise well-reviewed game after 3.5 hours and it was pretty much instantly returned (in steam credits, perhaps they'd be more reticent about refunding creditcards?).


Steam support however, is still awful. My favorite exchange was after I got spammed with mails that someone was trying to remove 2FA from my Steam account, after somehow gaining access to my steam support account (Steam Support accounts are seperate from your Steam account). I changed the password to the account and checked for any other stuff they may have done. They didn't do any actual damage so I just closed all the "plz remove 2FA" tickets except one, and responded to it saying that someone tried to get access to this account, but I fixed it, and that in the future they are allowed to ignore any tickets from me that don't come from a Belgian IP - as the "hacker" was from a Russian IP range.

Steam Support's response to me fixing my own problem and trying to prevent it in the future was to lock down my Steam account until I sent them a copy of my ID.

I'd say he was incredibly loving stupid for stopping where he did. The bridge operator also didn't clear the bridge so didn't notice he was there (view obstructed apparently). Also Florida.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.
