Supposedly they are concentrating more on plasma now rather than blood. If you want to donate you have to go to Parry Sound or Sudbury. Yeah nobody is going to be driving 3 hours to go donate lol.

I bet in a year from now they bring it back though. They're always talking about how they are in short supply. I always wondered why they can't just do it at the hospital though, the mobile clinic does look like quite a hassle to move around each time.

My Amazon shipment arrived within 24 hours of me ordering it, and I'm not a Prime member. Nor did I pay for shipping. This never happens.
They're supposed to dilly dally for 4-5 days FIRST, then ship. Must be seasonal noobs in fulfillment centers this time of year.

(4 items - one box)

Ordered 20 barrel connector. Got two...

Instructions unclear at the shipping centre, turns out you ordered 20 barrels full of connectors, that shipment is just a sample, the freight truck is on the way.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Truck is in the shop so I'm stuck at home. Hot my coffee, bought wine, got groceries I'd say I'm all set for the night.

Think I will put my Christmas tree up. Did the outside lights yesterday.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Ok time to do something productive.

Putting up the Christmas tree. I have a new tree this year that was given to me last year, will see how this goes. It's a tall one, like 6'+ Definitely going to need a stool. lol.

Who knew in 2019 it would be this hard to get music from an NFS folder to play in random on my TV. There used to be a "shuffle" button in kodi but they replaced it with "party mode" but rather than shuffling all the songs in a given folder it shuffles *ALL* songs that it can find on my entire network and not the folder I'm actually in. GAH why is something this simple so hard? I give up. I'll figure out something later. Literally the only time I want to play music on my TV is when I put up my Christmas tree so I can play Christmas music at same time. I'll just play it loud on my computer I guess.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Feeling pretty good right now lmao.

I realized taking a pic of my Christmas tree through a wine glass looked pretty skookum, but I needed more wine in the glass to really make a good picture and I had already downed a glass before that.

I have the worst farts right now

If the dog were here he'd be leaving

 

[Red Squirrel]

I sometimes fart near my cat and I'm surprised she stays around.

Android 10 is slow and buggy

I want a friend with a VR setup. I want to try it out but I'm 99% positive that if I bought a setup that it would be in the closet within a month.

I don't think vr home is going anywhere

 

[Red Squirrel]

Snowing nef. Does not seem all that bad... but they did cancel the school buses. I think there's more on the way though, this is probably just the start.

Only way it will is if they standardize it but from what I gather every company is doing their own thing. Or is it actually standardized? Have not really read all that much on it tbh. It think it's a neat thing, but it's so niche and has limited games/applications now so not worth investing in it. It's kind of a chicken and egg game as devs won't code for it if nobody is using it but nobody is going to buy into it if there's no games.

About twenty minutes ago, HR sent a new employee's (hasn't even started work yet) personal information to seven hundred other employees. I'm not sure which mailbox the HR person was aiming for but all_employees wasn't it. The IT folks have made the email magically disappear now.

All_Staff_Inside_Solar_System should be disabled.

lmao been a while since this happened at my work. I wonder if the last few who did it got fired and people learned better. All our main mailing lists start with underscore so I really don't understand how they would accidentally send them them. The best is when you have everyone replying all asking to be removed from the list.

Speaking of sending emails by accident one trick I've been using for the longest time is to type the email first and only put the recipients after. I've had a few instances where I accidentally sent an email while in the middle of typing. There is a shortcut key for sending the email with zero prompt or anything, so if you happen to hit it by accident while you're typing, poof! Email sent. Stupid design.

So I got my autostarter installed now. $600+ later, yikes. I was kind of hoping for a fancier remote at that price, but either way I'm happy. I did get a 2 way so at least when I hit the button I'll know if it actually started.

The wisemen aren’t supposed to arrive until the Epiphany. At least put them on a different piece of furniture.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Santa happens to be an Uber driver and gave them a lift with his sled. Otherwise they would have had to walk through the trenches of the couch.

 

[sdifox]

I fucking hate Christmas music. They never play any new music, just the same ones on loop.
