Netflix price hikes. In the bin you go...

I was on the premium package for the 4K streaming but now it just seems stupid at the new price. Standard HD is almost half the price.

Heh, snap, my main NAS has died a horrible death (though is saving me a few million quid a year in leccy bills). I have an old Corsair 450w to try in it but my fucking fingers are killing me and don't want to make things worse.

Might try starting it tomorrow.......

Learn to relax Deebs, it isn't going to help running yourself into the ground.

I am trying but it is hard to adjust considering IT is also my main hobby/interest. The PSU is still on the floor in the hallway by the NAS I have racked up my other stuff today after dad put in extra shelves for me.

I got so excited after I had finished I had to take a picture and walk to Dad's to show him both of our handiwork and how much neater/better it looks, basically said to him I was chuffed to fucking bits.

Now I am chilling watching the rugby.

And now I am up after lying in bed for few hours tossing and turning.

/me cunts @BloodOmen as I am now your mini-me.

 

[Raven]

"tossing and turning"

Got it.

 

[Raven]

And yes, sleep is a pain for me at the moment. Over the summer I got used to early starts, leaping out of bed at 4am full of energy.

Dark as dicks now and wake up knackered, I reckon I need more vitamin D in my diet.

I am on a few tablets throughout the day I fucking rattle when I walk now.

Everyone in UK should take a vitamin D supplement during winter.

Well reminded.

For bone density in older age, so you really need to start supplementing whilst younger. Apparently supplementation that actually works according to clinical trials!

I take 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening, with my Crohn's it seems I always have lower Vit D then add in the fact I'm on immunosuppressants means I have to be careful in the summer sun.

 

[Deebs]

I take multi vitamins every day along with iron. There are others but I cannot be arsed to move to find out as I am busy rebuilding FH towers.

You generally need a separate Vit D as well during winter at our latitude.

Ok, will get someone to run me to the shops and get a couple of bottles of Vit D.

Receiving 2 mice as gifts, and it's not even 5:30 yet.

Technically 2.5 as the cat that can't hunt brought me one of the two his brother had already shown me.

 

[Deebs]

Where the fuck are you? Myself and @BloodOmen are the resident non-sleepers or do we need to bring you into the club as well?

Internet medical advice.

Got a sore throat. Started gargling with salt water. Throat feels so much better.

First hit on google: gargle with salt water every day. Its good for you. Great for sore throats, and promotes stronger gums.
Third hit on google: do not gargle with salt water every day. Its bad for you. Your teeth could fall out.

Brilliant.

Your teeth might fall out, but your sore throat will be better.

It gets even better, not for the squeamish:

Well with my bowl being the way it is it tends to swing from one to the other form every so often, so big the fuckers won't flush.

We need to ban fish farming.

We're weaponising sea lice through our use of chemicals - forcing them to rapidly evolve. Escapee fish are genetically devestating wild fish stocks and we're polluting whole areas.

Sea-lice outbreak on Icelandic salmon farm a ‘welfare disaster’, footage shows

Drone images of cages shot by activist reveal open sores affecting ‘up to 1m fish’. Fish producers are now culling them for animal feed

It's way worse than battery farming chicken.

Owning two cars when they both need fixed at the same time.

Civic failed it's MOT on cloudy headlights which are currently being seen to.
BMW has a hole in its radiator and has lost all coolant, also currently being seen to.

Still, means I have two courtesy cars on the drive. Now do I take the old blue one with go faster stripes, or the newer black one?

(I took the new black one as I haven't driven it yet)

Check in online with Qatar Airlines. Success! Go to manage booking. Centre seats auto selected, try to change seats. "you need to change seats at check in". Wat. Can't figure it out, and having had a horrific flight to Cape Town recently, I'm not having a centre seat again. So I phone them up, turns out you can't change seats from the manage booking page. No, you have to go to the tab where you checked in with your booking code and surname, cancel the checkin, and click "manage booking" from there.

What fucking idiot designer lets you check in, opens a new tab to manage the booking, then says you can't change seats, you have to go to the previous tab, cancel the check in, re-check in, then click the "correct" manage booking button, to change seats?

Still, they have a massive food selection though. I always choose the vegan stuff, you get served first

Probably two legacy systems that can only interact in a certain way. You as the customer, rightly don't give a shit about their terrible UX, but there's almost always a backstory to this kind of stupid shit that some poor product manager has been trying to get fixed for years. The worst one is when you're told by some developer who put the shitshow together 15 years ago, "but it's supposed to work like this" because of some ridiculous technical objective that never considered actual customers for one second.
