    I’m at the ED at hospital. My mum was in a really bad car accident. Thankfully it’s just bruising but it could have been much, much worse. Her car was totalled. Driving up to the accident seeing all the police / ambulance / fire truck lights and then her totalled car was truly scary. I’m just thankful she’s OK. Waiting to do scans to make sure nothing is broken, then I’ll drive her home.

    I want so badly to draw or do something but not enough to actually be able to do it. It’s like my mind and body are fried.

    Almost a week after the iron infusion I’m aching, nauseous, have a splitting headache and going between hot and cold.

    Cutting a big old bit of concrete with an angle grinder and didn’t realise it had rebar in it… whoopsie doodle. Tried to snap it in half when half way through without realising. Whoopsie doodle x 2 :(

    I just got confirmation the car dealer has received my bank transfer. So I can now stop stressing & the pickup tomorrow is ready to go.

    Now I’ll have to get used to the blinkers being on the other side. Plus the fuel tank is on the opposite side to what I’m used to. At least it’s not as much of an adjustmant as Mr Woof will have to make, he’ll need to get used to travelling in a crate instead of having the whole back seat.

      you get used to the indicator pretty quickly, its only an issue if your driving 2 cars that have indicators on different sides to each other.

        I used to drive a Volvo, so have done the indicator switch before. I still occassionally do the wrong side for absolutely no reason. When I drove my Mum’s VW for a week I got it right about 90% of the time.

          yeah the mrs had a ford that was the oposite as well. Try driving 2 cars with different handbreak locations. The amount of times I start the manual without putting the clutch in (or go to press an imaginary clutch on the auto) is insane.

            I’m currently driving 2 cars, 1 with auto handbrake and one with manual. I’ve tried to drive with the manual handbrake still on more than once

            why isn’t the car moving?! What’s that odd noise?

              lol yep done that one too. The auto takes its handbreak off as soon as you put it in drive or reverse. The manual very much does not.

      I’ve got a harness and a clip leash that clicks into the passenger seat belt receiver, but also my dog is little.

        Mr Woof is fairly little too, but I believe the air bag can make the passenger seat unsafe for dogs (like it is for children).

        I’ve been trying to figure out if it would be unsafe for a cat in a carrier, but the info I find is all self-contradictory AI garbage and clickbait websites copying each other rather than anything that seems like it is actually trustworthy.

          I’m not sure if this is best practice. But when Melbcat goes in the car I put her carrier side-on in the back seat behind the driver and use the bottom of the seatbelt to secure it.

            That’s always been Miss Meow’s position. I believe either there or on in the footwell behind the front seats is the best place, but I won’t have any back seats in the new vehicle. If the front seat is safe for her that would work well, otherwise she will need to be strapped down in her carrier in the back. She’s going to hate it either way, although the sedatives the vet gave us should help.

      Regarding the fuel tank side…when in doubt, there should be an arrow on your fuel gauge showing you where the tank is.

        There is. But it’s on the opposite side to the car I have now (and I think every car I have ever had) so I’m sure I’ll autopilot to the wrong side at least once. I’m guessing the 3d or 4th time I fill up.

          I’ve had my car 18 months and I don’t fill up that often, maybe once every three or four weeks. I have to check which side every single time. It’s getting annoying.

    I have been very good with the limited sweets thing this lentish…until tonight when I made this creation.

    Here we have vanilla bean ice cream, hot chocolate topping, coffee topping, chocolate ice magic with a biscoff crumb and a twix. It was magnificent. 5/5 yum yums.

    Had to log in install an app and allow location (which I will be turning off) just to be able to print a test page and run the head cleaning thing… on a printer.

    I swear ten years ago this crap would have seemed like malware. Requiring a full colour cartridge to print b+w is definitely a scam.

    No black is printing despite it saying the cartridge has some. Waiting on a second level clean and next I’m going to try installing new drivers.

    Missing my hulking reliable old printer scanner and wishing I didn’t buy a HP.

        I wish they would and bring the tech here. You should be able to buy generic and refill.

        There’s libraries but not everyone can easily get there

            It sucks. It’s going to get bad when a significant chunk of customers can no longer afford to buy - they could raise the prices but at some point infinite growth is sustainable.

            I’m only hoping refurbishing places like Computerbank can salvage a lot of them. Things like Linux and Libre Office will be lifelines to older and poorer people.

            If I could just get organised enough and had the mind for it I’d be all over FOSS myself
