Untangling my empire

I just registered a domain name for a local club and went to hang their site off my server and discovered…I have no idea how it works any more.
Actually, not true. Considering I haven’t designed a webpage in a serious way for 20 years, it’s amazing how little the technology has changed. I can navigate my way around just fine, thank you. That’s weird.
But I’ve got thirteen websites hanging off my account, most of which have been dead for years. And somehow Uncle B’s account has been set to the master account. And it would be nice to fix the thing making this website flag as dangerous.
I have some learning to do. I hate learning.

Dead Pool 193: and now we’re all sad
Scott Adams is dead and now we’re all sad. Uncle Al takes the sad dick. Now let’s pick up our skirts and carry on…it’s what he would have wanted.
0. Rule Zero (AKA Steve’s Rule): your pick has to be living when picked. Also, nobody whose execution date is circled on the calendar. Also, please don’t kill anybody. Plus (Pupster’s Rule) no picking someone who’s only famous for being the oldest person alive.
1. Pick a celebrity. Any celebrity — though I reserve the right to nix picks I never heard of (I don’t generally follow the Dead Pool threads carefully, so if you’re unsure of your pick, call it to my attention).
2. We start from scratch every time. No matter who you had last time, or who you may have called between rounds, you have to turn up on this very thread and stake your claim.
3. Poaching and other dirty tricks positively encouraged.
4. Your first choice sticks. Don’t just blurt something out, m’kay? Also, make sure you have a correct spelling of your choice somewhere in your comment. These threads get longish and I use search to figure out if we have a winner.
5. It’s up to you to search the thread and make sure your choice is unique. I’m waayyyy too lazy to catch the dupes. Popular picks go fast.
6. The pool stays open until somebody on the list dies. Feel free to jump in any time. Noobs, strangers, drive-bys and one-comment-wonders — all are welcome.
7. If you want your fabulous prize, you have to entrust me with a mailing address. If you’ve won before, send me your address again. I don’t keep good records.
8. The new DeadPool will begin 6pm WBT (Weasel’s Blog Time) the Friday after the last round is concluded.
The winner, if the winner chooses to entrust me with a mailing address, will receive an Official Certificate of Dick Winning and a small original drawing on paper suffused with elephant shit particles. Because I’m fresh out of fairy shit particles.
Note: I am woefully behind on dick deliveries. If I owe you one, you’ll know how long. I ain’t gived up, but I haven’t drawn much since lockdown. Some day, your heirs might hear from my heirs.

Sulking

Yes, I struggled in to my toenail appointment this morning. On my bike. In the freezing rain. I arrived, soaked through and sullen, and had my claws clipped. When I got home, I planted myself on the couch and refused to budge.
God, it can be vile here in Winter.
I’ve discovered ChatGPT does a bang-up weasel, but you have to say “ermine” or you’re likely to get a ferret or pole cat. Grok, on the other hand, is hopeless.
Meet me here tomorrow for You Know What number 193!

Toenails!

I’m finally of an age that someone else cuts my toenails.
Well, I could do it myself. I can cut my toenails in sunlight! I have problems with vision more than flexibility or dexterity. But the old ladies I hang out with go to this woman podiatrist in town, so I’ve started going too.
She trims my nails, checks my feet out and anoints them with oil. Bit luxuriant, really.
But my next appointment is 9:00 in the morning. What was I thinking?

G’bye

When Dilbert first appeared in syndication, I worked for a corporate engineering company – so, worst of both worlds. Dilbert, as you might imagine, was an instant hit.
I wrote Scott Adams a fan letter. Fan email. It was obvious he wasn’t used to it and didn’t quite know what to do. He wrote back. “Thanks. My agent has the same first name as you.”
lol
Uncle Al takes the Dead Pool with Scott Adams, and we are all sad. See you Friday!

Spooky

A friend picked me up today in a newly leased Mercedes SUV (yeah, I don’t think they’re short of a few bucks). I don’t know if it was this one exactly, but it was close. Have you been in a modern car lately? It’s creepy as hell.
The whole dashboard is one big screen. The instrument cluster and everything is just an image (and, I gather, completely customizable). The center console was showing us video out front (or back, depending which way we were moving) with helpful guidelines overlaid for the position of curbs, etc.
Gosh, I ain’t even notice if it was electric.
We go around one corner, and both our seatbelts tighten. She laughed, “it saw something it didn’t like – a pedestrian or something.”
Saw something it didn’t like. Let me off this consarnit newfangled earth!

I passed!
Well, kind of. They want me back in eight weeks. But I’m cleared for the gym. Woot!
On a train headed to a party. Have an excellent weekend, everyone!

Eyeball!

This isn’t my eyeball, but this is what I had: a horseshoe retinal tear. The little white dots are where this poor bastard got whacked with a laser. That’s exactly how many times it felt like, too. Doesn’t seem to leave much of a peephole, does it? And it doesn’t actually seal the edges of the tear, either, so I dunno how it works.
Just, ew.
If it heals properly, those little white dots turn into little black dots of scar tissue. Yay, I guess.
Anyway, I was forbidden going to the gym until the follow up appointment, and they were three weeks late for the two week follow up, so I’m delighted to say they just called and said they had an opening tomorrow afternoon. Wish me happy little black dots!
On the road tomorrow, but I’ll tuck you in before bed.

Never thought of it that way…

I wonder if the satellites have any sort of sensors that might detect something moving through them.
Further to the statins discussion below, I know several people who really suffered on statins (debilitating joint pain). I also read a large meta-study recently that said statins do provably lower heart attack risk, but don’t improve overall mortality. So they’re doing something bad.
Of course, plenty of studies show clear benefit. Which is why it’s so hard to make good informed decisions – you can find a study to prove anything you like. I just know I don’t want to end up like my mother in law – carting a bag of pills around with me everywhere.

Here we go again

I have just had a call from my GP office. My cholesterol is high. My cholesterol is always high, so we have this conversation every few years. I go back in three months for another blood test, so I’m asking Grok what foods lower cholesterol. He say
Oats and barley (fine, fine)
Beans and legumes (cool beans)
Nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pistachios) (mmm mmm)
Avocados (awesome)
Fatty fish (e.g., salmon, mackerel, sardines) (good)
Fruits and vegetables high in fiber (e.g., apples, berries, Brussels sprouts, eggplant) (no problemo)
It says it takes a month for dietary changes to make level changes, but I’ve gotten results in the past leaning on oatmeal for a week. Let me be clear: I do not care about my cholesterol levels, but I don’t want to go on statins and I’m tired of having this conversation with my doctor.
I think also dark chocolate, green tea and chia seeds. All fine.
Any other ideas? I ain’t eating Benecol for nobody.
