Someone near me had an entire battlefield going on.

My wallet hid under my pillow at the thought.

It was cool though!

My dogs suffered terribly, but mine was alright as long as I forgot whats going on in the world.

Little breezy and Humid, today. It's projected to be 80 F at 11pm tonight! THAT is a bit unusual. Anyway, last work day this week, and I cannot wait for it to be done! I expect Wednesday to be a recovery, lazy day. Hopefully I can still manage to do a few loads of laundry. That would help me get through Thursday, easier!

Well, it is Monday. Weather looks good, Bike is running great and my apartment is a mess. I am going to dedicate some time this week, to clean up a few places. Then maybe next week another spot, and so on. Eventually I can reclaim my space, from the clutter! One battle at a time! LOL

I got up today at 6:30 am to go to the VA. got 5 holes poke in me, 2 blood labs, a covid shot and a shingles shot then an IV for the CT scan. No Cancer, Cholesterol is down. Everything points to me being healthy. Except, no energy, difficulty breathing and dramatic weight loss, including loss of muscle.

So, good news: no malignancy. Bad news: still unsure what is causing my issues. There is a possibility that my energy may improve, some, with the new dosage of thyroid medicine. Mostly unlikely. Also I am curious how the Nicotine patches will work. Hopefully it will be enough to get over the hill AND save me a bunch of moolah! That's the big update, more to follow in the coming months.

I hope the Endocrinologist finds something that helps, a woman I know has to see one about her Hyperthyroidism.
She has the opposite issue, uncontrolled weight gain despite minimal eating, regular Doctors assumed she was just lying about how much she ate. The medication she's on now is helping.
Good luck with all the tests.

The Endocrinology Dept and my Physician, went over my file together and determined my weight loss is not related, or rather, the amount of weight lossed is not related. I do have a meeting with the Neurology dept but, because they are so busy, the appointment is in August, another Month +. It'll be a struggle, but, I should survive until then.

Had an SSD die on me yesterday. :( Served me well for 9 years, not to shabby for a budget brand DRAMless drive. As a result, I'm reinstalling Windows 7 Pro on a newer SSD and configing it to my liking. :rockout:

I put one of my old OCZ 800GB SSD's in it. The drive that died was a KingSpec 720GB that I got on sale for $65 in 2016.

I just clicked that link, wouldn't have worked. The system in question is SATA only.

I had a Crucial P5 Plus fail on me, they are actually really solid drives so I was surprised. Might have been related to the kitty pushing a NAS off the shelf, though...

It failed so catastrophically, the data recovery firm I hired gave me my money back saying "no hope of recovery" lol. All I can guess is something in the pcb routed a wrong voltage to another rail...

We had month old MDISC backups, so all good.

Off to work. yea. Gotta struggle to the parking ramp, get 25-30 minutes of freedom then, eight hours of hell, I hope it isn't as hellish today but, we'll see.

How am I meant to race against a Mazda with 263 HP when I only have 75?

2 days of training done. Worst 2 days ever. 2 days I will never get back. 9-5, so traffic sucked, the instructor is an egoistic shrimpy man that loves the sound of his own voice. The stuff we are required to do should not take 2 days. I could teach that class in half the time. It was absolutely miserable, for me.

Not to mention, I had the same effing class 7 months ago. It is a yearly requirement but, for some reason this company decided 7 months is a year? IDK. I DO know, it's effing stupid!

Just can't get comfortable with Dark mode. As a reader nearly 2 decades or better white, has just got it feeling..... abnormal?
Anyone else still using white mode, or am I the only old guy with some weird complex about it.

TPUs dark isn't pleasant. Its pitch black, more like a windows high contrast mode.

The otherwise dark UI I have everywhere in Windows and FF is different. Its shaded dark gray.

I've been a dark mode fan since it was a extension thing in 2013. Even before then I was always editing the way web pages and the OS UI looked. I've been a dark mode guy for nearly 20 years. Never going back.. To each their own though!

I tried dark mode here but it's not right, for me. Other sites seem to have implemented it better and I don't have issues. I reverted almost immediately to light mode.
