Serious question, do you snore?
If so it might be worth getting checked for apnea, it can give you very low sleep quality even if the quantity is OK.
-
do you snore?
Yes, but no. It's what happens when you can't snore.TBH, the best sleep I ever experienced was in a kneeling massage chair, but it wasn't mine.
-

Ah I see, well ahead of me then.
kneeling massage chair
Kneeling chairs look very interesting. I have serious lower back pain, wonder if they'd be good for that.

Status: Why is an action that removes items and currency from my inventory rate limited? And why is the rate limit something that I repeatedly reach during normal use of the system?
-
Because they're using a timestamp with a max resolution of one second as the order's primary key.
;)
-
they'd be good for that.
Maybe, depends on the direction of stress I suppose. Also potential avenue of research: Inversion tables.

There was a recent study that suggested that standing desks may not have any health benefits
I had a regular desk. Work raised it. I dropped 20lbs just because I was standing all day (I stuffed the chair in storage) and had no barrier to my pacing around and wearing out the carpet (I am basically a living ball of nervous tics). Then we moved offices and I haven't yet gotten around to raising my desk (work refused to do it despite the fucking cubicles actually being made for it this time around, so we've just been doing it ourselves, plus we brought the legs from the old desks and the tall chairs along on the move). Weight came right back on and I fidget with my tape dispenser instead.
There, that's one anecdata.

Interesting, thanks. I've had a lot of physio but it seems to be getting worse again.
Of course after spending a fortune on physio I tried to support 250 kilos as it attempted to fall off a loading ramp, that didn't do anything any favours...

Even so, it's pretty much impossible to place 1 sell order per second, with how slow the game's trading post runs, and that error doesn't pop up until you place like fifteen sell orders in rapid succession anyway. I'm fairly certain it is an attempt to cut down on botting, but, again, with how slowly the damn thing runs, a person is as fast as a bot anyway.

never start a venture unless there is a manager above 40 in your team, success is rare is why it gets media attention.

Implying sell order == item was sold

That only means you don't have to pee in the reservoir as often. No worries.

I didn't have any weapons or armor left to list, so I baked a few pies. Here they are in the "sell" panel. As you can see, they're in the same order as they are in my inventory.
Clicking on the glazed pumpkin pie brings me to this panel. The top half shows the quantity I want to sell, along with the price I'm asking for it, the total price for all of them, and on the right, the listing fee (charged immediately) and exchange fee (deducted from the sale price).
At the bottom are two lists: the current listings from people who want to buy the item on the left, and the current listings from people who want to sell the item on the right.
Let's say I decide that the current price of 1 silver 83 copper per pie is enough for me. I click to sell, and the listing fee is taken out of my wallet and the total price (minus the exchange fee) is put into the delivery box.
Also, there's an explosion for some reason.
Let's move on to the blueberry pie. Let's say I don't want to sell it for the current going price of 16 copper, but I'm willing to wait until someone wants to pay 38 copper for it. I could also have entered my own price either higher or lower than 38 copper.
I select the price from the right. Notice how the listing fee and exchange fee are twice as high now, since the price went up by a little more than two times. It also warns me that nobody is buying a blueberry pie for that much right now, so I'll have to wait.
And finally, the strawberry pie. Nobody is currently buying a strawberry pie, so I have to list it as a "want to sell" order or eat it myself.
Let's say I don't want to sell it for three measly coppers. How about three plus three? Just type a 6 in the field or scroll up with the mouse over the field or click on the 6 copper count. Then list it for sale.
And finally, go to your friendly neighborhood trading post agent and ask him or her for your money.

I sold three pies but six were removed from my inventory.

Lawl.
Filed under: FUCKING HELL WHY DOES IT REMOVE SIX PIES FROM MY INVENTORY WHEN I SELL THREE
Because the other 3 are put up for sale in the Trading Post, and thus removed from inventory and kept in the Trading Post until such time as someone buys them.

Why was that a reply to me?

Because I was explaining why it appeared, to you, that I was "arguing about the hue" when in fact I was not, by using @ben_lubar's sarcastic Filed Under to help explain.
Also, I think this may be a whoosh.

Status: just left my first and most extensive rant about an app on Google Play.
The receiver? Rovio.
The cause? Angry Birds 2
Translated for your delight:
Rovio converted the best casual game into a little machine to make money out of nowhere. The idea about "lifes" is so stupid that the person responsible for it should be fired. And while you were at it, why you didn't include a BitCoin miner? Because that's what this game feels like.
My advice for this game is that you turn on airplane mode, because playing this game with WiFi is stupidly slow. You can spend more time on the loading screen than playing, and waiting for I don't know why. Analytics? Whatever it is, I'm sure there are better ways to do it so the user doesn't have to be there waiting like a fool for minutes sometimes.
Well, playing you won't be doing much because you need to wait for 30 minutes for a single life. If at least that time in the loading screen accounted for that.
Of course you can buy "lifes", but at 0.99€ each 3.
Well, at least this game has proved useful for one thing: make sure I have activated the payment block for Google Play so I don't give you a single cent by mistake.

Status: Have successfully conviced my parents to let me move their documents and photo collection to the OneDrive documents and pictures folders so that they won't lose anything if their hard drive fails.
It's about 40 GB worth of data, though, and they only have a 300 Kb/s upstream. At least they're on holiday currently so the PC can run uninterrupted. And with 1 TB of storage to their account they'll run out of HD space before the online storage becomes full. :)

Status: The wife woke up in a mood, so I got out of the house for the day. Went and picked up some checks, went out to lunch with some friends and then spent an hour at the gun range. Then I went and bought some new toys.
Thankfully, she was in less of a mood when I got home.
