Pointless Disconnected Blabs, Ramblings and Utterances

[waffleironhead]

There's something weird going on.

I've never been a typist, always hunt and peck with a lot of errors.

But the last couple of weeks has been miserable. Even a short post like this is difficult. Just to this point I've made a dozen errors.

My hands and eyes are not co-operating. I can place my finger over the tight key, but can't press it. I study it for a minute to make sure it's the right one and then sometimes it isn't.

Then, I can't seem to place the cursor between the right characters or press the proper right or left arrows to change positions.

It isn't vision as such, it's more coordination.

Total error count is now about 30 in this post alone.

sounds kinda like stroke symptoms

People taking after me means so much to me

Almost afraid to ask this BUT

What are these bite marks from?

Spoiler: I've been bit in my sleep!

What kind of bug has one fang larger than the other? Not like it was tilting to one side. Didn't feel a thing in my sleep. No itching or any tenderness to the area. It's fully dried. What am I looking at? Could I become THE real life Spiderman?

And mobile phone cameras in 2024 still suck (Moto Edge 30).

Vampire bat. I have no idea what the scale is there.

Nah. Can't be a bat. Definitely some insect. That's on my index finger. The larger one is hardly 0.5mm in diameter.

Spider bite

Spider bite

Plausible. I do see these critters scurrying around sometimes. The small ones with the short legs that run pretty fast.

Almost got a Bambi today. I was on the brakes and slowing quickly, but probably wouldn't have fully stopped. Within 20' of it when it made the leap for safety.


Would have sucked too because a 26 year old vehicle wouldn't take much of a dent to total.

 

[lxskllr]

Dents make the car go faster. It's like a golf ball. The dents perturb the air and reduce drag. You should be trying for dents ;^)

Explain why the five gallon is two dollars less than the two gallon.

 

[lxskllr]

Looks more cheaply made. I wouldn't buy either of them. NO-SPILL® cans are peerless. They cost more, and are worth every penny. There isn't a better made can, old, or EPA new.

Ever set a timer and forget why?

I haven't been in any airport of any size since '98 and I never plan to be again.

I think 2002 was the last time I flew. It was alright, but I'd be fine never flying again.

2007 for me.

 

[nakedfrog]

I don't mind flying, especially with TSA PreCheck. A 2 hour flight beats the hell out of a 25 hour drive. If we had faster trains, I'd be cool taking the train, but trains are generally at least as expensive as flying and as slow as driving.

 

[KLin]

I'm flying next month to Wisconsin for a work visit. TSA PreCheck FTW. Don't need to take my shoes off and can leave electronics in backpack. Faster line usually too.

Is there any real difference between these two?


=AVERAGE(a1:a10)

=(a1+a2+a3+a4+a5+a6+a7+a8+a9+a10)/10

Other than the amount of typing?

 

[sdifox]

You could have written =sum(a1:a10)/10 I guess. Couldn't tell you how much it costs computationally

Yeah, that's another option.
