Status: Pwned by timing
Not only did it have a price reduction after I bought it, but it's also got a discount on top of that. I paid over twice what it's going for now. Ah well.
That better be a damn big bottle of worcestershire sauce for that kinda price...
It's 568 ml, which should be enough to last me a pretty long while

They still don't know what date it's scheduled for delivery, even though it's on the delivery truck (which is in front of my house, and the FedEx driver is walking to my door).
That driver is known for taking a vacation in the middle of their route?

Converting that to Freedom Units (TM) means it's a little less than 20 ounces...
Either there's some damn high import tax on that or you got yanked. A 10oz bottle usually costs around $3.50US. The NEW, "discounted" price is about in-line with what I'd expect for a 20oz bottle, and you paid more than twice that?
-
@e4tmyl33t Looking at local grocery store prices, it was indeed a crappy deal, and in retrospect I would've been better off adding something else to bring my total above the free shipping threshold, but at the end of the day $7 isn't going to make much difference one way or the other
-
@hungrier 6.48 CAD is cheaper than a 568ml bottle costs here

Status: Called my insurance company. Waited 30 minutes on hold. Asked one question, and had to wait another 10 minutes for answer. But right when the rep was saying what I wanted to know, she hung up mid-sentence. Fucking unbelievable.
-
So I called them a few more times. First, after 30 minutes of waiting, the waiting music stopped and it sounded like someone's picking up but then silence. Waited 10 more minutes just to be sure, periodically shouting HELLOOOOO, but it didn't help. Called yet again, and after another 30 minutes same thing. So I called yet again. They supposedly close at 6, but it was 6:03 by the
2 hours of wait time just to be told that the estimate, that yesterday I was promised will be ready this morning, isn't ready yet. It will be "a couple days and we'll contact you" - which means at least one more week of picking up 10 spam calls a day.

This overpriced handmade wooden mug I acquired at a renaissance festival last year still makes drinks taste... wooden.
I'd hoped that would go away after washing it a few times.
Filed under: Bring on the QooC.
Probably not finished properly. Wood is porous unless varnished heavily. And (IIRC, I do not have woodcarvers tool proficiency) many varnishes are not food safe.
Many aren't, but butcher block oil, and probably other food safe finishes, are readily available
All varnishes are food safe once they've cured fully, a process that might take longer than a month. Butcher block oil, which isn't a varnish because it penetrates the wood, doesn't actually protect against the kind of standing liquid you'd have in a mug.

@GuyWhoKilledBear even if they have lead?

Only if it's combined with cobalt for a double whammer

Also, that's quite a lot of Worcestershire Sauce. We usually buy it in smaller bottles than that.

There aren't any varnishes made with lead. Paint, even the non-lead variety, isn't food safe.

Status: Feet are positively frozen. Starting to wonder if it's really because winter or if I have a circulation problem.

@Zenith I'm fairly certain Covid has given me circulation† problems.
Mostly because I'm even more stuck at home than usual.
†Pun unintended but welcome.
-
@Zecc My temperature keeps registering a degree below normal but then I read some possibly fake science article that said 98.6 isn't really the average anymore so who knows.
-
@Zenith mine routinely does. I've seen writings that people like myself who have high body fat levels tend to read colder.
But also those thermometers, especially the no contact ones, are also pretty junk for accuracy.

No , it kept my tabs in suspense so they could be reloaded when I came to them, saving memory. At least in theory.
I guess Chrome does the suspending itself now and doesn't need a helper extension, but still...

It maliciously suspended tabs that were trying to track your activity, preventing users from sending vital analytics and tracking data to central servers.

I read somewhere [where?] that 98.6 degrees is an example of false precision, as the original figure was in Celsius.

@dcon No, but I had thought there are temperate folks, they're just not being vocal about it. I'm not exactly a prude or staunch marinadist, I've got my own demons. In the first gaem I was playing a lesb and publicly gushing here about a threesome with two devilkins.

I switched to Firefox a while ago, and have been using Tree Style Tabs, which has its own tab (and tree) suspension plugin that works quite well.

Yeah, same. Which is amusing when the tabs essentially get suspended twice.

I'm still allocated to 3 teams at work.
Team A, my favorite, just agreed to book me for meetings I'm not actually in to free me up from meetings from Team C, which I'm not actively participating in but required to attend.

Happened to me once while I was sleeping. It was the fastest I've ever gone from asleep to full sprint. I didn't know was happening; I thought it was an explosion.
