I just got violently jeffed into a page I don't have access to (I assume it's in the garage).

@error I guess the NodeBB quantum teleporter is selective in its targeting. I didn't get jeffed this time, but have experienced this before

Don't worry, your Isekai'd self is unhappy where he is now, but I'm confident he'll work his way up in the world.

Status: 1 C this morning. This had an amusing effect where the initial condensation coalesced into large droplets which froze, and then the normal frost accumulated.
Should have taken a photo, it was very textured!

Status: Damnit, Windows!
Thought I had a nice little WMI query to check if a computer's monitor was connected via VGA or DisplayPort.
It looks like it works, but I can guarantee all of these are VGA,.....
Piece of shit...

I think I got moved in the same incident; I had access though, and just saw it as a very odd glitch. Didn't have time for pondering about it; a meeting was pending for me.

Status: Error: Muscle control failure in right-arm [triceps?].
Perhaps it's a good thing I can type with only one hand. Mouse control on the other hand...

The one that has working fingers, of course.

Status: Still hate my drop ceiling and the pipes it hides. Opened the second pack of eight panels. Handled five of them.
- Hung fine, after a fight.
- Tried to shorten, cut too small, set aside for later.
- Managed to shorten acceptably, hung after a fight.
- Tried to split the long way, ended up with two useless pieces.
- Tried again to split the long way, one fit, one was slightly off, but I couldn't pull it back down so I punched it back down.
I think I got 6 of the previous 8 up OK - broke the first and foolishly let the last soak up water - so my record is currently 8.5 of 13 with 3 left to go. At this rate, it'll cost more than I really care to pay to replace the rest. I might only buy another 8-16 to finish this end of the basement.
Garbage cans are pretty full. I missed post New Year's pickup and now I have a bunch of broken panels stuffed in there too.

Status: It's only Monday night and I've scheduled away 56% of Friday's paycheck. It would be 91% if other bills weren't stupid about scheduling. Seriously, it's 2024 and my Sears-turned-Citi card still only has today and tomorrow as scheduling options
Edit: Also not thrilled at extreme budgeting. I pulled a number out of thin air to limit discretionary spending to per month (for three months). I'm way too close for only being a week in. YouTube keeps serving up these financial doomers that make me feel awful about having debt without any retail therapy to offset it. Monsters.

I didn't "allow", I'm just not able to overcome the to segregate it after someone decided daddy needed another door camera. Because the two that are there don't make his phone go "Motion detected at your/// FRONT DOOR".

In hindsight, I wish I did. Would make a good story. My mother got a giant compost bin. To prevent it from being blown across the backyard and kickstart the worm process she decided to partially bury it.

@topspin A broken context menu entry led to this. I suppose it could have stated the real reason ("file not found" -- and which file at that) instead, but that would be unexpectedly too useful

Status: Spent some time fixing battery-powered items that had batteries left in them until the magic goop came out. I once again have a working:
- Data tracker on the treadmill.
- Mini flashlight.
- LEGO® R2-D2® Programmable Droid controller.
- Merlin®, my first electronic handheld gaming device.
Merlin had the most damage; I had to take it apart, pull out the clips that connect the batteries together, and let them sit in a bath of vinegar along with the spring from the flashlight. Meanwhile, I saw I'd accidentally broken one of the wires that connect the battery compartment to the board while taking it apart, so I cleaned up the pads and soldered in a replacement wire.
Going back to the metal bits, I brushed everything with a soft toothbrush, rinsed off the vinegar, and made sure everything was dry before putting it all back together. Portable bleeps and bloops again!
The others just needed some brushing with vinegar to clean up the contacts. Thankfully, none of them had damage to the electronics.

STATUS I think 2024 has peaked already. The extension lead I bought has three plugs. Two USB-A slots to charge my various nick-nacks and two USB-C slots that can charge two of my laptops at once. And it actually works. 2024 can only go downhill from here.
