so what should I change next time to avoid the blinding headache the next morning
right now I'm assuming the answer is "don't watch the Vikings"
― Bitch Fantastic (DJP), Tuesday, 22 October 2013 14:17 (ten years ago) link
That plus drink more water.
But yeah, I actively advise patients to not get involved with the Vikings but NO ONE ever listens to this advice for some reason.

I thought I was disoriented today already (for some reason I can't get "The Search is Over" out of my head and it is really starting to piss me off. THAT is what happens when I have to get up at 0430, people!).

FYI Apple computers are really fucking annoying when something goes wrong with them
My 2009 iMac's DVD drive began to refuse to eject CDs the other day. I took it into the Genius Bar to have them get the CD out, which they were able to do. However, the drive now thinks it has a blank DVD in it even though it's empty. Furthermore, the drive makes horrible grinding noises every time the computer wakes up. I can replace the internal drive for over $150 or I could buy an external drive for cheaper; I can't get a Super Drive though because the firmware EXPRESSLY FORBIDS them from working together. Finally, the support for the machine is about to be end-of-life'd anyway due to its age.
Oh, and also the display is starting to show discoloration and will cost something like $500 to replace if I decide to do so.
If this had happened with a PC, I could have opened the DVD drive myself and replaced it myself, resolving this whole fucking thing in maybe 90 minutes. Speaking of which, I may be getting a PC this weekend because this fucking machine irks me.

Ugh, I hate computer problems.
But I cannot divorce Macs unless I break up with Austin.
Also, the PCs we use at work are a nightmare (although that is related to the twenty five billion different programs they have to contain).
Sorry you are having these issues, tho. :(

I just had brunch with someone Fluffy Bear once went to prom with (L1s4) - yesterday morning.
She told me about some batshit HSTNGS thing; an execution style murder in the parking lot of the Beirstube (my Mom claimed a different place in town but...)
I haven't seen a newspaper for weeks (too much working - our floor had 6 nurses quit in 6 weeks, so it's insane all the time) - but - anyone else hear about this?
― Sara R-C, Monday, 30 June 2014 19:10 (ten years ago) link
Yup. I was talking with M3l1ss4 about it on Facebook: http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/story/25860884/hastings-man-34-fatally-shot-after-ice-cream-run
(that story places it behind Emily's)
― Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Monday, 30 June 2014 19:20 (ten years ago) link
Ok, so Midtown then... that's sort of consistent-ish with what L1s4 said.
Nothing ever surprises me about that place anymore but I kind of wish I wasn't that cynical.
― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 06:50 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, T0m K said something about how HSTNGS had changed since he left and I was thinking "do you not remember the kid who got pushed in front of a train after trying to rip off some drug dealers circa 1990"
― Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 11:09 (ten years ago) link
Well, he kind of lives with his head up his own ass, tho (mostly I think that bc his politics are so batshit and juvenile)

Oh look, more good Hstngs in the news - guess who one of the 8 MN companies involved in the hobby lobby case was:
"Plaintiffs: Hastings Automotive, Inc., Hastings Chrysler Center, Inc., and Douglas W. EricksonLocation: HastingsIndustry: Retail Auto SalesExcerpt from the complaint: As part of their Christian faith, Plaintiffs believe that life begins at conception, and it is therefore a grave moral wrong to destroy a human embryo. Consequently, Plaintiffs believe that the use of what are labeled contraceptive, but have an abortifacient effect, is immoral and sinful because they destroy a human life by chemically inducing an abortion."
