    What's weird is that the skin around it isn't red or rejecting it or anything. It's just like, yeah, I guess this is in here, whatever. Time to implant some other stuff. Home surgery.

    at my last job my computer had some hardware problem and would BSOD once it'd been running for about 38 hours

    so I just rebooted it every day when I left work

    people looked at me like I was a madman

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    basically there should be some sort of better lateral processing thingy so that I can have everything I would ever want open and running all the time
    maybe also add in like those minority report screen manips with the haptic force hand waves

    I had that happen with an elbow where I wrecked and drug it along the concrete picking up a bunch of rocks under my skin. Years later I'd feel one breaching through the skin and then it would emerge. Shit was weird.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    You could run a virtual copy of windows on your pc and use save state and when your actual pc reboots you just reopen the virtual state

    luckily this is pretty much the direction CPUs are going, more cores all day every day

    its mostly limited by your RAM

    okay that does remind me that I used to have a hilariously messy desktop
    and when it got too messy I would put it all in a folder called old desktop and then start again
    it was desktops all the way down

    Yooka-Laylee looks good

    Glad I backed that project.
    I backed it and i have the same name as someone in the games industry so when it asked me what name should be listed in the credits I added a little joke that I wasn't such-and-such person

    But then it turns out they have cancer?

    So I hope they don't die before the game comes out because that would make the joke a little awkward

    There's iron in this! Some hydrocarbons in the tar I can use these. Silicon dioxide? Oh, just knock off the oxygens and tack on another proton and neutron, make it phosphorus, call up some of the fusion microbes we picked up in China, eating bok choy grown in nuclear waste.

    Some people don't want to use the term girlfriend or boyfriend because they want a shorter word or they find it problematic or whatever

    But I have heard a lot of (mostly younger than me) people try and look for other terms specifically to connote a different kind of relationship. They want to granularly express that it isn't x level of serious or committed, or that it isn't exclusive, or whatever.

    So I called my insurance today to follow up on that whole thing where some tests I had were filed incorrectly and I got that $288 collections thing

    WELLLL

    they said that the lab had refiled it, BUT, they hadn't actually changed the number that needed changing, so it was still denied

    I called the hospital

    tiny old lady voice (Rosie) on the other end of the line says that she's looking at the two claims, and, the number was DEFINITELY changed, and DEFINITELY to the thing that the insurance company wanted it changed to

    aaaaAAAAA

    this would have been infuriating except she referred to the insurance company repeatedly as "Those People" with great contempt, and to me as a "poor dear", and kept muttering "They're going to drive us all insane, goodness, in my day these people didn't give people so much trouble.. just trying to get a test done, poor dear.." etc.

    I'd make a folder named To be Sorted and dump all my shit there, eventually everything would be there so I give up and put it into a Misc folder, then it would be like Misc 2010, Misc 2011, etc.

    I had to restart my computer last week at work because I tried opening a rar file with windows explorer. That caused explorer to open a new process several times per second in an infinte loop and when it approached a few hundred processes it started chugging.
