They want to make sure that you haven't been smokin' crack two hours ahead of the procedure.Having a non-surgical procedure done Friday morning, but since it involves general anesthesia, it's performed in (and scheduled by) the surgical department. Procedure will take the Doctor maybe 5 minutes. It's scheduled for 7:30AM, but the surgical dept wants me there at 5AM? What the deuce.
I know I'm gonna be laying on a gurney for two hours before they even wheel me to the OR.![]()

Kidding aside, they may want to observe your stability prior to anesthesia, remove problematic clothing, take your weapons away, get your vitals, review medications you're currently on, get an IV in, find out if there's someone to observe and transport you after the procedure, put the straight jacket on, do an anal probe, get your will in order, find out where you parked so they can take your car for a breakfast run while you're knocked out, etc.![]()
I'd rather do my online banking on an unsupported, obsolete device!

General anesthesia for a tattoo? That's nuts. I guess we need more education to get people to understand that general is no joke.Did anyone hear about the brazilian influencer and his first world problem? Went under general anesthesia to get a whole back tattoo done in a hospital. Died of a heart attack after going under. 45 years old.

Influencer dies at 45 from a heart attack — while getting a back tattoo: ‘Irreparable loss’
The late vehicle virtuoso updated his Instagram followers with news of the appointment just hours before the tragic event — saying he’d be back to posting shortly.nypost.com
We had a short power outage today, at least I think it was short, I got woken up by the initial surge when it dropped. Was out for no more than an hour and came back. I got up, showered did all the usual stuff, sat down at the computer, only to realize that all my server stuff dropped, including my NAS. Dropped hard. Lost everything. Only thing running is the DNS and environmental control server as it's a standalone box.
I manage to recover the raw data and the raid arrays are mounted now, but having a hell of a time getting NFS working. The last time the NAS got rebooted was in like 2019.
I really don't get what happened, the batteries should have lasted longer than this.
Uh oh, someone isn't doing regular UPS tests!
What's next? General for delivering a baby???General anesthesia for a tattoo? That's nuts. I guess we need more education to get people to understand that general is no joke.
Chinese batteries?I do regular tests but don't discharge it, I just watch the voltage to see where it stabilizes at to get a general idea then turn power back on, so it gets maybe like a 10 minute test or so. I check battery electrolyte and such every now and then too. We did get a 2+ hour outage a month ago and it was fine though.
I managed to recover the raid arrays and had a lot of trouble getting NFS going but got that going. VM server was also giving me issues, had to reset HA on each individual VM. Seems kinda pointless to have HA if you still need to manually intervene so starting to think of just disabling it.
Chinese batteries?
Suggestion:
Reduce essential data size to fit within a few terabytes.
Copy to external SSD of about 4 TB (do auto backup to an HDD over the network every night).
Connect external SSD to thin and light laptop that can survive at least 9 hours in sleep mode.
Regarding VMs, if it's something really critical that you want accessible at all times, maybe put it on Azure, AWS or some cheap VPS?
Ohman… I use 75% vinegar diluted for weed killing purposes. Stuff is crazy strong smell!I ordered two gallons of 50% vinegar and it looks like the USPS might have left that beast on a truck overnight. Once it gets above freezing, that guy's truck is going to smell amazing, kind of like my kitchen does after I opened the box.
Went to Planet Fitness to burn a few calories, the machine reported 136. And while working out I managed to munch on 120 calories worth (a dozen) of the free mini grape Tootie Rolls they give you. Since the machine's definitely not accurate, and if anything overestimated. I probably burned less than I ate.
What the hell kind of gym fills a big ass bucket with candy and encourages you to take as much as you want?
