Finally done, wow that was brutal. Basically needed to click one thing then switch to another window or go make a coffee then click again, rinse and repeat. What a terrible design.

Ironicly it was about workplace harassment and violence. Well I am feeling more violent after going through that crap and I want to harass whoever coded it! I don't think it served it's purpose.

I signed up for the walmart mobile whatever rewards plan, and I feel vaguely dirty and troubled. Reading over the terms, I didn't see any way it would obviously screw me, but I didn't study every word in the agreement. It's basically a reward system for staying with them. You get "points" for paying your bill. You can also refer friends(doubtful I'd do that), or play stupid games, fill out surveys, or post to social media. Not a snowball's chance in hell of doing any of that. I'm just looking for a rebate on the plan expense. I guess I'll see how it goes. I usually avoid "loyalty programs", but I didn't see any way they could get more data on me than they're already getting by my having service with them.

Busted spoke. My regular shop has always been sketchy and now never answers the phone. Gotta drive 30 min to the next shop.

Updated debian to bullseye today, and my conky broke. My config's pretty old, and I guess it became 'too old' with the latest version shipping in debian. I downloaded a similar config, and tweaked it til I have about what I had before, but I need to spend more time with it. Also, apparently sticky notes in xfce have been dropped. I'll have to look around some more, but I think they're gone. Otherwise, it was an easy upgrade, and all the important stuff works.

Last night I ordered a bowl of Poke from my favorite place in the area. I got the Large bowl with two big scoops of fish. It's a good portion but I always want more raw fish, so I called and asked them to add an additional scoop of spicy salmon. And boy they did. Absolutely plenty of fish for me. I got white rice and mixed greens as my base. But now with the extra fish, I didn't have enough white rice to fish ratio. It's usually the reverse. Can never find that harmonious balance.

Ate too much sushi/sashimi for dinner. Stomach is about to burst. And I ordered small. I was going to order medium or large but wife talked me out of it. So glad I listened to her.

Lol I make that mistake all the time when I'm very hungry and order too much food. No matter how hungry I am, I will never be able to finish a large poutine. I actually ordered family size once, what was I thinking.

Got back to Jersey from the city and wanted pizza. Stopped and ate a slice. Got two more to take home. Put them in my bike basket. Ate one while literally riding home. Got home and ate the other one. Now I want even more pizza but don't feel like riding back.

Power just went down in my neighborhood! :persevere: Over 3,000 without power now.

Left house. Drove through the rain.
Now posting from another neighborhood. More powerful here.

My adopted kid's 2010 crosstour's engine light was on. 2 codes. Both oil pressure switches. Makes sense since the car was 3 quarts low...🙄. I'm far from a mechanic but shouldn't the oil light have come on?

After looking online, it has an ECO feature that shuts off 2 cylinders and there is a software glitch that causes it to burn a lot of oil. Honda has an update...doubt it's free.

Make sure there is no oil leaking into coolant. My Odessey had to have Engine pulled and rebuilt at their cost thankfully. They cheaped out on piston rings for some reason...

Trying to order food from this place but for whatever reason it keeps rejecting my password even though it's the right password because I always order from there. Had to initiate a reset and now that's giving me issues too. Why do so many sites suck so much at account management systems? It's not rocket science.

Probably going to just order somewhere else at this point because I don't feel like dealing with this.
