(9.5) [SPAM] How a Clorox Wipe Made my Herpes Disappear

Spam email titles sometimes amuse me.

I don't think you're suppose to use Clorox Wipes the way I think this person was using them. :eek:

Freaking brutal cold here. Had to stand outside Home Hardware to wait for my order. It feels like Antarctica out there right now. It's only -6 but it feels more like -60. I've felt -50 before, and it was not as bad as this.

I find once March hits I just get fed up of winter, and this is peak storm season so it does not help.

You must have a damp cold. You guys just had rain and then plummeting temps with sleet/snow, correct?

Yeah was very warm/humid for a bit. Snow has been melting fairly steadily. We had about a week of really hot weather, like shorts and tshirt weather even on a few days. But it's back to winter now. We tend to get several false springs around this time.

Hmmm my package arrived in North Bay yesterday at 4am, that's 4 hours south of here. Has not moved since. Hope the truck did not get in an accident on the way lol. It's my video card, once that comes in I'll be able to have dual 4k on my main machine. :D

My cat was trying to squeeze into the stereo cabinet. His head didn't quite fit so he reached in with both front paws and pulled himself forward vigorously, slamming his face into the stereo. :p

You are easily amused. I washed both my cats today. Pedey was not too amused with his annual spring day scrubbing.

It requires careful preparation and lots of iodine.

1. Make sure to clip the cats nails BEFORE you begin. My boy does not want to hurt me, but he did nick my left forearm with one of his talons as he tried to twist free.

2. Have your shampoo, cups and towels ready to go. You don't want to have get anything after you have begun. The cat will leave the tub and will most likely be escape your control being wet and soapy.

3. Resist the urge to yell at your cat. Trust me. This will make things worse.

4. After they had dried some, I brushed them with my furminator to remove a lot of their undercoat.

By this evening, they both look really good. Do you guys never wash your kitties? I pretty much do it if I want to. I do have to outsmart them. If they figure out your intentions they will hide and make it difficult for you.

Damn, another day gone and my package has not arrived. Can't complain too much given what's going on in the world, guess they might be backlogged or something. It's just odd since it's actually in my region the last time it was scanned so it's not like if it's still stuck in Toronto area or something.

Heard Starlink will be in beta soon. That should be interesting for those who get to partake.

I already have good internet but I would definitely try it out if I was given the chance to do it for free or cheap.

I got my used cpu that I bought off of eBay. It was just a drop-in upgrade. I went from a Pentium G4400 to an i7 6700. The G4400 was always struggling with the Plex Server. I figure this was the cheapest way to throw a bunch of cores until I can afford to finish my Xeon build. So, from 3.3GHz 2C/2T to 3.4GHz (max 4.0Ghz boost) 4C/8T. Even the graphics has a slight upgrade. It was still pricey for such an old CPU.
