Took ten tries to get the video small enough, but here ya go. The shitty wafer lock on my desk.

Reminds me of that thing about opening a car door with a popsicle stick. (Yes, those are also wafer locks.)

On meds and trademarks 

I'm looking through a textbook for EMTs and, uh, I'd just like to call attention to the fact it refers to the Auvi-Q epinephrine autoinjector as "An Auvi-Q EpiPen". Yes, a textbook for EMTs uses "EpiPen" as a generic term for an epinephrine autoinjector. Just sayin'

(From "Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured")

Covid, selfie, ec 

The one upside to covid is that it's made wearing a respirator in public socially acceptable. Now if only we could make collars socially acceptable...

So, for a discussion on visualizing earths history in my geo class, I mocked up my idea of using a 4K television. Does, uh, this look familiar to anyone else?

(Spoiler alert: I accidentally created an upside down—and a bit distorted—polya pride flag.)

Oh, goodie goodie. I'm *required* to use LockDown Browser to take quizzes for my chem class. Now, this would be bad enough on its own (it's a horribly invasive and perfectly useless piece of software), but I can't even install the damn thing! No matter how many times I try redownloading, I always get the same error. And this is before the issues I've heard others have had with getting it to work under Wine. If anyone has suggestions, let me know before midnight, would ya?

No, my dear Jeremiah, I've been transitioning!

Yes, after a long while, I've spent time hacking my 3DS to change my mayor's name and gender! I may not be able to join y'all in the newest Animal Crossing, but at least I can now comfortably play acnl!

So, I wanted to know what the eagle referenced in Citation Needed 6x03 was (I couldn't quite make out what Tom said it was), so I searched "new Zealand big fucking eagle" and, uh...what the fuck duckduckgo?!

So, I'm flipping through a small notebook of mine when I stumble across this. I have no clue what it is. It might be an autograph I got at some point, but *whose* and *when*? The other possibility I can think of is maybe I was trying to do a Wynter autograph, but that doesn't look like anything I did, I don't think. It's weird. What is this mysterious autograph?

Did you know that MS Money 2005 plays very Sims-esque music while it installs?

Did you know I own cuvettes? I do! For some reason, Fisher Scientific sent them to me when I bought my lab coat and goggles. 500 of them. Did you know these normally sell for $175 for that many? My lab coat and goggles were less than half that! So far, I've only used 25! I should get to use more soon, but not much more. And I can't even use them as fancy shot glasses because they only hold 1.5 ml of liquid. Sad.

Want a chrom amiibo? Well, Arlington Walmart has you covered!

Incineroar looks so pissed with Mario here, and honestly, I can't say I blame him

For further proof of what I'm saying, here's the checkout screen. $30.95 for standard shipping, which they say is ~18-24 days. Note, same zip code as I put for the ship to on the USPS website. 76010. So, where are you and what service are you using? Because it would seem you're not in Seattle using USPS.

And, in case you're curious about my $21 two-day shipping claim, here's the rates from the USPS website. 30 lbs package shipped from Seattle, WA to Arlington, TX is $21.10 for Priority Mail 2-Day Large Flat Rate. So, yeah. I'm pretty sure three flags wouldn't need that much. So, probably not using USPS, I would guess. I'm not sure where they're based, so USPS mightn't be an option for them.
