I think it's time for this once more:


This is a dangerous video for someone or lets say in this case me getting a contact high RIGHT now. That does sound amazing like FUCK. I got no poptarts but yeah i may need someone to run to the store and pick me up some now! :D Not really, not gonna make a dedicated trip for poptarts when i got tons of pizza pasta and cookies here! Maybe next time i go shopping i will pick up some!

See prior post of mine if you wish to see why its dangerous LOL.

Got a rude awakening to find out i am officially the second slowest person to start my day out of 3 now, my new roomie is one of those i like doing laundry at 5:30am kind of people i guess even if i lack a door cause the last roomie had a psychopathetic outburst and destroyed it assaulting my friend more or less when the door hit his nose when it came out the frame. I love how with the THING going around the cops laughed at the idea of pressing charges, heck they wouldn't come in for crying out loud and i was a witness to this "assault". Prob gonna fix the door today, then maybe 5:30am laundry in a mobile home with paper thin walls won't bother me as much. My friend who is the third person is more of a i like getting up when i do kinda person so shes more reasonable with a 5am tinkle and up by 9am usually. I mind my own and keep quiet, 5:30am laundry would NOT be on my agenda that early.

Was more surprised when the guy is obviously doing dishes or who else knows what at 6am, i have my morning routine with a early am shower and fresh clothes and apparently i can kiss those days good bye cause i got dosed with nice cold water. I guess my mornings are fucked, that's ok i guess i could take over the evenings. I do know this guy loves his" jogging" as he keeps non stop coming out his room, then walking to the kitchen then back and its been back and fourth NON stop. I smell nothing but coffee but unless i am mistaken coffee does not require this much god damn attention.

I hope no one else gets to deal with such pleasantries so early. FUCK i hate when my routine gets dunked on. Hoping my friend sells off this place ASAP, kinda a seat warmer with my room i pay next to nothing for but i HATE these random ass roomies and with the thing that shall not be named going around who the fuck knows what can be brought in with the roomies.

Well, it doesn't look too venomous. I tend to leave spiders alone, and just think happy thoughts. Spiders and centipedes. They hunt down bugs I like less than them, so I try to get along :^D

My new debian+kde install at work is a little rocky. Turns out the drive I was practicing on had some bad blocks. Clonezilla wouldn't clone it(errored out), so I cloned it to the new drive with dd. I probably should have just done a fresh install, but I already had a decent amount of time in it with customization. Stuff seems to work, but are the little problems I'm having a knowledge issue, or a hardware issue?

Debian doesn't include as much magic as *buntu, so I have to configure things myself. I need to sync some folders from the windows server, and I can't figure out how to access it. I can get to it with dolphin, and copy/write/erase, but I don't know how dolphin handles it to copy the method. I've tried it by ip address and fstab entries, but either get a permission error, or a silent failure. I've always been pretty weak on networking, so it isn't easy for me to figure out.

I also have issues with virtualbox losing the serial port, and I have to pause/resume the vm to get it back. I tried using virt-manger, but my converted image won't boot, and a fresh install bluescreens with a disk error.

The essentials work, so it's good enough for now, but it's all stuff I want to fix eventually. KDE has me mildly panicked while operating it. It's like flying an airplane with all the options. I've always used gtk desktops, and I'm used to how all that works. KDE is like starting all over again trying to figure out how everything works. Nifty desktop though; polished and pretty. I'd like to use it awhile to see what tricks it can do, instead of falling back on the familiar xfce.

Me too, however, my wife can't handle it - so I get sent on search and destroy missions against harmless insects.

I kinda want a colour laser printer. They've come down in price so I would pay a bit more to get a small office grade one. I don't print enough to justify it though but I could see myself print more if it was colour. Something I might splurge on at some point when I'm in less debt.

Dell E525W stands out to me. Images are far better than any other color laser I've ever seen/used. I recall seeing it for $100-$120 several times a year thanks to a SlickDeals alert.

Yesterday here was beautiful - high 60s all day. I went for one of my longest runs but now my ankles hurt.

Today will be in the 70s! I haven't mowed my lawn yet; I might do a second fertilizer application today and get my mower and weedwacker all ready.

I havent gone for a proper run in a very long time. Those walks around the neighborhood arent enough. I bet if I did something strenuous it would put me in bed for days.

We had a super warm day a while back but between my alarm company replacing my system (I had to help for indoor stuff due to covid-19) and then working on my uncle's computer I never even got a chance to enjoy it. Now it's back to rainy weather. Nice to see it warming up though and almost all the snow is gone. We had one day of pouring rain, which actually was a good thing as it cleans up everything a bit. Always so messy at this time of year. Sidewalks, streets, trails etc. The rain seems to have helped a lot at least from what I see around my area. Have not been out much in past few days.

We've had a few warm-ish days...in the 60's...but always interspersed with just enough rain that the grass doesn't dry enough to mow it. (that's my story, and I'm sticking to it...it's too wet to mow, honey!) The grass on the back is almost 6" long in spots. Fcking deer come in and eat...and fertilize...but aren't keeping up with the growth.

Sounds like my excuse Boomer, but the only one I have to convince is myself. Easy!

I mowed this morning and it went well.
Though it never did rain so the weatherman is a bastard son of a bitch.

Next time it's dryer out I want to rake, pretty much all the snow is gone now and the lawn is flattened. I should take out the lawnmower just to see if it starts so I'll be ready when I need it.

By "dryer out," do you mean a clothesline...or do you actually take your clothes dryer outside? I ask because I'm sure you COULDN'T have meant "drier." :p

This sounds funny but I hear you.
Modifying people's quotes can be funny, and it's fine for all the regulars here, but if you were standing in front of me, I'd beat your fuckin' ass. I *do not* appreciate my posts being modified by a spammer.
