I had to explain to someone, twice, how while I'm a doctor, I'm not a medical doctor, and therefore I cannot recommend treatment or prescribe medicine. I'm still not sure if they got it or not.

I just found out there's going to be a solar eclipse in two days time, very much visible from where I live. Too bad I'm stuck about 8600 km from home and I won't be back until the day AFTER the eclipse

Alitalia's website is a huge streaming turd. Doing anything on it that's not a reservation or an online check-in is a chore, and even those don't always work.

I looked for a precision electronic scale on Amazon. I found one with a precision of 0,01 grams rather cheap, but all the "people who bought this also bought" suggestions were about hundred-packs of little ziploc plastic baggies, and now I'm worried I'm on some kind of list.

The postal service here in Italy is a loving joke. I placed an order for something from the UK last Monday. It was shipped on Tuesday, and it arrived in Italy on Wednesday. Despite Saturday being a working day for the postal service, it's not here yet. One day order-shipping. One day shipping-arrival in Italy (about 1000 km). Four days (and counting) arrival in Italy-my house (about 200 km). Get hosed

I am so amazingly out of shape. This was me, one month ago. Everything will always be sore for the first few weeks. If you're not sore you're doing something wrong. (As long as it's just sore and not actually painful. If it's painful you're also doing something wrong.)

I broke my phone. It still works somewhat, but I'll have to get it fixed since it's a pain in the rear end to use it like this, and the guy I asked for a quote to fix it still hasn't gotten back to me yet.

The phone I broke and posted about in this thread? Apparently it can't be fixed, since there are no parts available for it. According to the guy I asked (who finally got back to me), "It's not worth it for a phone that's a two-year-old model that cost 180€ on release, so they don't sell the parts anymore." So I had to drop 200€ on a new phone. I can totally afford it, but I wanted to spend those 200€ on something else

My parents believe in homeopathy  They are reasonable people who simply don't know about the difference between that and actual medicine, but the "painkiller" they're taking works perfectly because of the placebo effect, and it's either that or actual painkillers daily which in the long term are bad for you, so I'm torn on whether to tell them or not.

I don't know if it's different where I live (Italy), but my credit card expenses are automatically paid back at the end of each month directly from my bank account at zero percent interest rate, I only pay like ten bucks a year for the card itself. It's a proper credit card too, not a debit card (it's a MasterCard).

I'm away from home on a business trip, and I forgot to bring toothpaste. It's only a two nights' trip so it's not worth the time to locate a store to buy some (especially since I'm super busy with work), but this means I'll have to brush my teeth four times using just water like a loving caveman.

This morning I took advantage of my country's free healthcare to have some blood work done. I don't know if the nurse hosed up in sticking the needle in or I hosed up in not putting pressure on the spot afterwards, but now my arm looks like as if I'd shot up some serious drugs. Time to wear long sleeves even though it's still short-sleeve weather

A contestant on the new italian Masterchef series is a twenty-nine years old girl who dresses in gothic lolita fashion and whom, when asked "what do you want to do in life" answered "I want to open a maid cafe here in Italy" (and then proceeded to elaborate on what a maid cafe is)  And here I was thinking my country was safe from these kind of things

I really want to play The Phantom Pain but I don't have a gaming PC powerful enough or a current-gen console to play it. I could easily afford one, but it's too  to build a new PC and I would only use the console for that one game and it would be a waste of money.

Excel (at least excel 2003, the one I use) only allows for a maximum of 256 columns. Rows can be any number, columns are limited to 256  The client whose office I'm working at today has blocked Facebook on their network, so if I want to check my status during a coffee or lunch break I have to use my cellphone and get off their WiFi.

I really want to go for a run, but it's cold as gently caress and foggy outside, and I have a bit of a cough. Usually this wouldn't be a problem, even if I caught a cold I can get to work just fine (unless it's like a thousand-degree fever), but next week I have a really important business trip and can't risk to miss it. So I can't go for a run when it's this cold. But running!
