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.

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.

They're rate limiting the rate that a particular session can issue requests? That seems… too likely.

I'm sending them at a rate of 1 or 2 per hour, when they say that a given set of credentials can send them 1/second, up to 500/day.

Many aren't, but butcher block oil, and probably other food safe finishes, are readily available

Better wooden than tinny.
Caribou, for example.

Blood labwork all looked good last time, except for low hemoglobin and creatinine levels.
Blood labwork usually doesn't tell you shit (at least unless it's something really bad, I suppose). It sounds like you might have positional low blood pressure; a cardiologist diagnosed me with this like so:
- Take blood pressure lying down
- Take blood pressure sitting up
- Take blood pressure standing up
If there's about 25 points of difference (as there was with me) from #1-#3, egads, it's orthostatic hypotension.
It boggled my mind that only the specialist thought to do this extremely simple test, vice my PCP. Sounds like you might be in the same boat (unless they've already checked this way, in which case ignore me).
Edit: Oh. Just caught up and ed.

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...

Sigh. Snow is flying upwards outside the window again.
The streets are covered in powder, and I got to try my snow driving skills again. It's amazing how fast you can go even on unplowed streets if you're willing to abandon the notion that cars only travel forwards. But doing that at all means that the government failed to account for the snow falling. Again. It's not like it comes every f***ing year, right?
I wish I were living in a sane, decent country. Like, say, somewhere in South America.

I drive an anemic sports car with RWD + LSD. Because it's sweet up for lots of feedback and turning quickly, it's got a nervous disposition. This makes it wiggle forwards in the snow. I haven't driven it when there's been much snow because it's also pretty low and would get all the snow in the radiator.

"Street maintenance crews were surprised by the snow" was a meme around here long before memes were a thing.

Yeah. I've had to stop and help push taxis out of the way. For some reason, the majority of them are RWD Mercedes in these parts. And due to ongoing road work, I have to take these narrow alleyways to get to work.
I've got mixed feelings about FWD. On one hand, I can't get up steep hills if they're slippery. On the other, the thrust vectoring aspect has kept me from getting stuck surprisingly often. Especially if I have to stop in an upward incline for any reason. A little sideways movement gets the car enough speed to get moving again.

Yeah, my previous car was a Subaru Outback 3.6, so AWD and enough power to push through anything that didn't beach the car.

I wanted something more amusing to drive. The next car will probably be a Corvette C8 or a Porsche. I might get a winter car with good awd as well.

I'd just have to smear my license with lysergsyradietylamid so that it'd be absorbed through the skin and he'll be stoned out of his mind and I can claim false arrest.

Much of it depends on driver skill, too. I've seen Jeeps get stuck on roads my soccer-mom van handled with worn "all"-weather tires, because the drivers were idiots.
Pedestrians should be required a license to walk when there's snow around. Some of them are just brainless.
Of course, that applies to people at all times under all conditions, not just when walking in snow.

Status: I haven't logged into LinkedIn for about two months. The e-mail spam says I have 100+ notifications and 20+ "urgent" friend requests.
Edit: Also looks like my JCP stock evaporated. I don't really get the sequence of events that transpired here. JCP went into bankruptcy. Then it decided to rename itself Old Copper Company for some reason so I ended up with OCC stock. Then OCC gave its retail operations to New JCP which was really still Old JCP. Then the OCC stock was cancelled. But it traded on the exchange for a month until today it showed up as an invalid symbol even though it's still in my account (I wasn't going to sell it because the fees were about all it was worth - maybe I'll still be docked a cancellation fee somehow). Sure would've liked this to be more transparent.

@Jaloopa Almost every day. I was tiring of all the friend requests that read "Pleasant day my friend I see your business needs more Indians we can make very happy business together!1" though. Whoever runs the C# programmer group I tried to join is AWOL but if it's anything like the SQL DBA group I got into that's for the best. If it wasn't I'd unsubscribe from everything and lock my account.
-
@dkf Eh, I mean the first lot was a risky bet, and the second lot was just plain stupid, but you take Wall Street's musical chairs trickery as a given when you play in the market so whatever. The stock should've been cancelled, unambiguously, the day they signed the buyout with Simon Property Group though.

Why, yes. What if you're not deliverable at that exact moment? They'll have to reschedule!

What does that mean? The driver isn't able to walk to my front door, put down the package, and walk away without my even knowing he/she was here (except that I saw the truck out the window)?
