  • Because if we were all somewhere else, you would be asking the same question about that place.

    “This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, ‘This is an interesting world I find myself in — an interesting hole I find myself in — fits me rather neatly, doesn’t it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!’ This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything’s going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.”


  • If you are in pain now, you will love it when they are finished with the root canal. I have had six of them over the years, and every time I went from feeling absolutely horrible to 100% in the 1 hour it took them to do the operation.

    The only thing that is not comfortable are the initial numbing shots.

    Make sure they get you good and numb. If you have any doubt as to whether you need another shot, just get another shot.

    After 3 or 4 or 5 shots of numbing agent, you won’t feel a thing.

    Once the numbing wears off you will feel totally fine.

    It’s really not that bad, much better than living with tooth pain.

    Also, ask for a big gloop of topical anesthetic where they are planning to do the injections, it helps a little bit.

    Lastly, ask for 10 milligrams of diazepam if you have someone to drive you. A little benzo to take the edge off goes a super long way and dentists have no problem prescribing it. Have the dentist prescribe it and take it 1 hour before the appointment. I am 200lbs and 10mg does the trick.

    It’s only happened twice, after updates, that windows turned one drive back on and remapped my desktops. In those cases I have just turned it back off and remapped back to normal. Then env:username works again and I think the only difference is the space in the path with one drive, though it could be something else breaking when the desktop gets remapped.

    I’m probably using powershell all wrong anyways because I am an amateur.

    I use it to grab a file from an sftp by calling on winSCP, then convert from csv to xlsx using the excel module, then run a bunch of VBA to reformat the file, then save the xlsx with a date stamp. I use task scheduler to run it daily and I have it on like 10 machines.

    Works great when one drive doesn’t mess with my desktop path.

    Even something as simple as:

    move-item “C:\Users\computername\Desktop\afiletomove.csv” (“C:\Users\computername\Desktop\destinationFolder\newFileName (0:MMddyyyy).csv” -f (get-date))

    Stops working as intended when your desktop no longer resides at that path.

    Also, I have the same functions running on multiple machines with different names so I have to dynamically resolve the path and piece it together using strings.

    I have like 10 machines at 5 different locations. In order to share my 365 subscription across multiple machines, I have to have them signed into a Microsoft account. I need excel and ms access working on all my machines.

    It’s happen twice since I implemented windows 11, both times after major windows updates.

    Not too much trouble to re disable one drive and switch everything back to normal but it breaks a bunch of stuff for me when it happens.
