  • In the middle of getting my wisdom teeth pulled. They had to like, take me off the laughing gas, but then feed me air or o2 or something for a bit to make sure it was cleared out of my system enough that I could EXIT the dentist’s office and proceed down the hall of the office tower to the shared washroom … while still doped up on the other pain stuff and whatever else was going on (I think they had to shove some gauze in there to keep me from bleeding all over myself or something) … fun times!




  • I’ve been very happy with my Monoprice “Blackbird 4K DisplayPort 1.4 USB 3.0 4x1 KVM Switch, 4K@60Hz, HDR, YCbCr 4:4:4, HDCP 2.2”. I run an ultrawide at 3840x1600 @ 144 Hz, or HDR at 120 Hz, G-Sync both, and it works wonderfully. It took some effort to get all the required devices using the same connections - went through quite a few “USB-C to DP” cables from Amazon that had to be returned because they couldn’t do the high refresh like they claimed … but once I got everything set up, it’s worked like a dream, 3+ years and counting now I think.







  • Same, same, same, same, same. For years I thought it was just totally normal to remember next to nothing prior to about 11 or so. Over the years a few other things came together than made me really go “hrrrmmm”. I’ve never really done anything to pick at it though … it is what it is, and it’s already played out in my life in the worst ways it will (alcoholism, extremely unhealthy relationships, rampant adultery, etc.) … doesn’t even seem worth the effort for me at this point.

    If I could have stopped those things before they started by addressing and dealing with this stuff when I was younger though, that would have been worth it for sure! If it’s bugging you, get to the bottom of it, safely, with a qualified professional! Best of luck, and I really admire your courage to post this.



  • One of the first times I used it I ended up 30 minutes away from my destination while it INSISTED I was AT my destination.

    I’ve been looking for alternatives ever since, but it seems with Android Auto no matter what you install and use, Maps still gets your data, so I’m kinda ready to just throw in the towel, or get an iPhone just for nav or something … not sure, I’ve put a pin in it for now.

    Seems getting away from it will be the right move for me though based on your experience!
