 Went over to my sister's husband's parents' place and while we did everything outside with masks on we did get some nice Korean food. My brother-in-law's dad is not doing great. Along with his leukemia & c.diff, he's been battling things like e.coli & even a fungal infection. He looks ok at a glance but soon after the meal & exchanging the presents he turned in. He's got another round of chemo tomorrow. The plan is in 2023 he's going back to Korea to visit folks & if the chemo isn't effective to stop taking it. This may be the last time I see him.

My dad got a Calicovision when they first came out and he spent an entire night into morning playing Astro Smash.  I'm also hoping Hamlin pulls through. He got immediate care within the golden hour of trauma and that can help his survivability chances significantly. The only good news is the game being postponed means I can go to bed as I got an early flight home from DC tomorrow. Here's hoping Southwest Airlines is unfucked!

My dad told me of a case when he was on shift and a guy came in to the ER after a snowmobile accident. He didn't make it. Breakfast quesadilla & a spiked egg nog before I fly home (with connecting flight to Chicago). TV's showing NFL Network so nonstop talk about Monday Night Football.

Cool challenge you got there, No Butt Stuff. I'll pass it along to my sister, who wants some way to control her diet. I was thinking of going vegan keto again for Lent but that will coincide with my trip thru California in February to visit friends & family so  to that.

Congratulations shirts and skins on being the best version of you!  Please be patient with folks as sometimes the new software update has compatibility issues with those running an older OS. I still have to mentally take a moment to make sure I use the proper pronouns for those I've known for ages before their transition.Speaking of software compatibility, I notices the Awful App is being weird where it shows bookmarked threads repeatedly on the screen, sometimes with different numbers to denote unread posts. I guess this is something to bring up in QCS? I don't venture far beyond my tried & true forums (something Jeffrey of YOSPOS mentioned in their State of the Forums post).

I know I should be asking this in SH/SC but I'm old & going to other subforums scares me, so Jeremy my issue: Got a mid-2013 MacBook Air with 8gb RAM, (upgraded to a) 1TB SSD, running Big Sur (the furthest it can update due to age). I normally run Google Chrome but lately it keeps crashing.  Uh…  I don't have that much RAM so what is going on? Running Activity Monitor & I get this:  I'll see if I can use my work iMac to see what Chrome extensions I can remove, but this is beyond my pay grade in terms of troubleshooting this. Apple/Mac needs, help?

Qwijib0 posted:setting aside that 8GB isn't really enough memory for modern chrome, when the RAM fills up, MacOS will try and push unused data to the SSD to make more room. If there's no room left on the SSD to shift that data to, you're going to get crashes-- how much space is free on the SSD? Ideally you want more than 10% free. I streamlined as much as I could for my SSD in terms of storage and I'm barely using 50% of it. That's what's confusing me. As for embracing Safari, I enjoy using my Chromecast to stream stuff to my TV. Considering my computer is now 10 years old I should consider replacing it.

I usually do keto and it was part of my long term nutrition goal in helping me cut out excess carbs. Helped me drop from 215 down to my lowest (165). I'm back up to 180-ish, but every Lent I use that as a chance to kick off a vegan keto cleanse. It's as miserable as it sounds. I also work out regularly so I could keep up with fellow younger goon idiots when playing airsoft. I keep track of my workouts and switch them up periodically to keep from becoming complacent & bored. I also intermittent fast and sometimes do OMAD. In the end caloric restriction is all that really matters, but I know if I do nothing but eat carbs in a meal then I miss on my other macros like the protein I need to keep at my weightlifting goals. Speaking of Lent, I posted this in the Saturday GDT when the Jags were about to beat the Titans as I was also watching The Passion of the Christ on watchw.me:  The Passion of the AFC South

My flight back home from Maryland with Southwest after New Year's had me fairly nervous when my layover was in Chicago. I got a flight to Missouri at the end of the month with a layover in Denver. Last time I flew to Missouri my connecting flight was cancelled while I was midair on my first leg of my journey. I did notice some travel websites are offering "green" options which are just cheaper nonstop flights with the idea that these are better than having multiple airplanes burning fuel over shorter distances.

pmchem posted:why isn't he in cuffs The police do not have a duty to protect the public. The ripples of Uvalde are vast and far reaching. Due to the timing of the event, Lift Every Voice Oregon was able to secure over $2m from Mike Bloomberg and get enough votes to put Measure 114 on the ballot, which passed. The measure was so poorly written that the licensing portion is not in place for people to purchase firearms, and if not for judges granting TRO's to the law there would be no way for any Oregonian to buy a firearm. Washington state is also drafting their AWB & Illinois is about to sign their own bill into law soon. It should be noted that in these laws that LEO is exempt from any ban, so we're ceding the safety of the public to people that are likely on the same level as the Uvalde police.

CannonFodder posted:I thought those mixers were extremely reliable. What happened to it? I think the motor burned out. It was struggling kneading bread dough the last time I used it. I tried unscrewing parts that I could then hit a barrier where I was "This is way beyond my skill set" and put things back together. My washing machine knocks when running now and my dryer doesn't dry stuff as efficiently. I know the latter should have the vent line cleaned out, but I'm lazy & I hurt my back yesterday doing front squats.
