150 shows, 4000 movies. 25k songs. Tightly curated, playlists, mostly 1080p with truly important stuff 4k.

Other than some odd specialized surfactants, most cleaning stuff is soap, alcohol, ammonia, bleach, vinegar, or water. You just have to know what not to mix together (don’t mix bleach and ammonia) and not care that it doesn’t smell like robotic lemons.

I also use sodium hydroxide in certain cases to get grease out of filters and such, turns oil into soap.

It’s not all the time… But, for example, last week, my wife had one sent to a CVS, apparently 10 minutes after they had closed. They didn’t fill the script, but they did bill the insurance and were unable to transfer the script to a location that was open later.

About six months ago, I tried to transfer my script from our local target to another target nearby that actually had the item in stock. They said they’d transfer it. I drove over. They didn’t have it. They tried to call the originating target CVS but they wouldn’t pick up the phone.

Between the two, we decided to look into a mom and pop shop (of which there are precious few around us) the one close enough to make sense told us that our doctor was too far away. They were about a 20 minute drive back to there we used to live and we liked them. They were a #$%^ Johns Hopkins practice.

Walgreens f’d me over once because they couldn’t scan my license. I had just renewed it for realID so my plastic license had expired. I had the paper DMV your license is valid and will come in the mail, use this paper in conjunction with your existing license until your new license arrives. I was trying to pick up a non-narcotic muscle relaxer because I fucked up my back.

I really really really hate pharmacies anymore. I should probably just order my shit online.

They also used specific medical names for things and scribbled them horribly so they’d be hard to read if you didn’t know what you were looking for.

Yeah, occasionally, we’ll request a paper one if we think we’ll need to fill it at a random pharmacy, like when we’re on vacation or it’s for something that’s likely out of stock.

Most US pharmacies seem to have problems transferring a script between locations, even within the same company.

It’s in my cart. waiting to get a few more things before I push send.

I’m hopeful from this: https://www.consumerreports.org/environment-sustainability/is-fryaway-oil-solidifier-best-way-to-dispose-of-cooking-oil-a1273485273/

I am starting to see professional people in professional companies using Blender, It’s not everyone, it’s not everywhere, But I’m definitely getting requests for Blender plugins in a professional environment.

I considered a wifi toothbrush for my kids. Teaching them dental hygiene gets harder with age. At some point the youngest started ignoring brush your teeth, I had to hang out near the bathroom to make sure he brushed. I was pondering… you know it home assistant can read the site, I could just have it shit out an alarm if he hasn’t brushed by x hour…

but then he gave in and started brushing

Yup, the convenience if throwing grease down the drain is absolutely nullified by taking a half day to deal with a plumber/landlord/handyman because you can’t flush a turd. Let it cool, pour it into a soda bottle.

I wish they carried it in the markets here. I just looked it up, looks like it’s just Steric Acid. You can buy a whole pound for $15… gonna five that a try.

They brought an iHeartradio station to Baltimore. The mix was fun, lots of famous 80’s and 90’s.

I wrote some code to scrape their “now playing”. The entire catalog was just over 600 hundred songs. 600 Unique songs in a year.

The top rock station plays more unique songs than that in a week

I did not expect to put a musical in my ARR client today.

Pay me? Fuck yes, I’ll rip that crap out and replace it with a couple of relays or maybe get fancy and arduino -> home assistant.

I’m betting that someone pay a LOT extra to get that garbage though.

The resources required are themselves cheap.

Well water is nearly free, food can be cheap for a farmer it’s corn and grass which they can grow, or a corn / molassas mix which is pretty cheap to buy. If they birth the cow, there’s special costs and then there’s vet/medicine bills. A farmer’s time is the ultimate cheap thing because they more or less ignore it in pricing. The butcher’s price/time isn’t inconsequential.

The environmental issues don’t cost them anything unless we tax it.

Some forms of beef are pretty cheap but not all.

Hamburger is cheap. filet is $15-$25/lb. 4 decent 1.5 inch-thick steaks come to about $100 wholesale.

The meat from the cow is about $3000 after processing.

i carried a velcro cable tie once and used it between my belt loops, I’ve never remembered since.

I mean just let me wear my fucking belt. I can deal with a lot of indignity, but holding my fucking pants up in line is just insult to injury when you’re passing me through mothingfucking millimeter wave.

None of us doubt there are ties, but honestly, so many rich and powerful people are on that list, probably the vast majority of governing power in the world are on that list.

I mean, back then, a complete Achilles rupture likely meant you were permanently disabled.

JFC, you know, I can see some problems arising from games/companies changing hands and shit going dark here and there on a game for a bit… but bullshit like this… this is the reason we can’t have nice things.
