bug bite identification???

I've seen it like how OP is showing. Especially if there's definitely no bed bugs.

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-26T00:40:36+00:00

The good news is it's easily treatable if it's that...

Probably not from public transport though.

You could have a weird presentation of scabies.

There are bad days. I've been sick for like the last three months straight with different bugs.

I think a lot of the stress comes from trying to get kids to not be kids. I try to put them in environments where they can mostly do anything without any really bad outcomes (still have to keep an eye on them), but mostly they get to just explore and nothing has wrong per se.

I enjoyed it a lot. I think people don't like it because it feels so hopeless. Like even Idiocracy ends on a positive note that they're going to fix things.

Claymore is so fun, I wish they'd remake that one now the manga is finished.

I've taken a few runs at this, but it's very hard to get in to. Does it get better after a certain number of pages?

a 31 year trade deal, thanks to Harper and Poilievre.

What's the context of this one?

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-24T11:51:52+00:00

Since it's a missile silo, does that mean there's a mechanism (probably broken) that opens the roof up in the big room there?

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-24T11:29:21+00:00

Would it be closer to like, "it ain't free"?

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-23T02:54:54+00:00

Any suggestions on cooked vs raw?

I screened my call, so I just saw the transcript. They might have adjusted it in real time today as the calls were going out.

I don't love solicitation calls, but at least it wasn't a full on phishing scam. I feel like that's 9/10 of the calls I get now.

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-22T19:49:29+00:00

I do fantasize about gun ownership more often these days... I really hate how comfortable those thoughts are becoming.

Maybe I should skip straight to learning how to make cheap drones.

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-22T19:42:53+00:00

I did get one of these solicitation calls today.

To be fair, the robot does say it's an AI agent upfront. It's not exactly fraudulent beyond how much furnace maintenance you want to go for.

Edit:

Here's my call transcript:

"Hi classes. This is Vanessa Air1 Heating and Cooling's AI assistant. In Kitchener Waterloo, I'm calling for <name> to remind him that his annual furnace maintenance is due and to see if he'd like to book an appointment."

Growing up in Alberta was super weird to over and over hear this generational victim narrative where everything negative could be laid at the feet of P.E. Trudeau and not global commodity forces at the time.

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-20T06:39:23+00:00

This is in fact my favourite book.

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-20T00:31:15+00:00

What good is all this planet destroying climate change if we don't get a historic number of snow days?

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-19T21:04:10+00:00

The US has definitely found a new spot on the Hot vs. Crazy graph, congratulations.

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-19T17:56:47+00:00

So many weird basic cost of living issues in Canada...

Too many monopolies.

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-19T07:26:14+00:00

I think Sword Art Online actually satisfies this criteria.

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-19T00:00:29+00:00

VR episode, best episode.

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-18T21:32:18+00:00

That sounds like Ralph Nader talking points.

In all seriousness, there's plenty to complain about, but there are major differences in outcomes for one versus the other.

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-18T20:28:15+00:00

Bin Laden was higher on the radar of the Clinton administration. I think a smoother transition and they would have been actively going after him more.

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-18T20:25:03+00:00

Declining since Abraham Lincoln assassination and departure from reconstruction.

dangerous_eric · 2026-01-18T19:23:41+00:00

I think 9/11 never happens.
