I'm bad about this too, better than I was a year ago at this time but still bad. I started with just going for a drive then a run to some outside market or restaurant. Taking the pup to the park for a walk was a good one, I need to get back to doing that.

I did rather enjoy the news clip I saw where Albo said he liked BBQ sauce on his democracy sausage, then they cut to Scotty, and together he and the anchors scoffed at him for being un-Australian, and that Scotty likes true blue tomato sauce because he's not a commie shirt-lifter whos going to let the country be overrun by Sri Lankan boat people. Great stuff!

Weird one for those with medic/doctor experience. Had an IV a week ago (primarily for a blood draw, but also for an IV infusion). At first I felt fine after, for a couple of days. My arm has been getting progressively more and more sore (and useless). They went for that big vein on the bottom of the forearm since my veins suck, and they were going for "quick and easy". Can't straighten my arm fully, that vein is painful to the touch all the way from the IV site to my elbow and rock hard where the IV site was, painful to lift with my left hand. I called the doctor and they said it sounded like superficial thrombophlebitis, should clear up on its own after a couple of weeks, suggested ibuprofin. Not sure what gauge they used or anything, but it was in there a couple of hours.

No tingling, but it's "getting a root canal without any numbing" painful when touched, and my arm is itchy and a little red, with a tiny bruise. Ideas? I'm right handed (this is on my left arm), but I can't even use the power window switches in my car easily right now. Makes it especially hard to flip off assholes riding my bumper.

I've run into this a couple times. they ran whatever they were running in too quickly for the size of the vein. I've had it bad enough that i could neither straighten or bend my arm and could trace the hardened vein up from the IV site up past my shoudler.

If you start noticing lumps, it is blood clots and you need to talk to your doctor before they get to your brain or your lungs.

I'm fairly certain i've still got new clots forming despite my INR being close to 3. Sometimes i wake up and my ankle hurts, gets progressively worse over the next few days and a bruise forms, then just goes away. I've started sleeping higher up on the bed so my feet don't hang off and now i've got one in my neck/shoulder. I have full strength in my arm, but if i extend forward to grab something, or twist the wrong way it feels like i've been stabbed in the shoulder blade. I can't turn my neck beyond ~70 degrees either way.

No lumps, but the vein is definitely a lot harder up to my elbow. Rock hard at the original IV site, diminishing as it goes up my arm.

I can bend the arm fine, but can't lift with it. Straightening... not happening. I can get halfway there, but it huuuuurts.

No, it's a thing. There's a tier of Amazon seller account that lets you edit listings. In order to tank a competitors item, it gets edited to be wrong or straight up sex toy. Then it gets delisted and only shown to adult accounts, and is really hard to change back and recover from. It's an entire seller side scam process.

I just saw the most embarrassing car mod outside a cvs, where I had to drag myself in 90 degree heat because my left upper sinus is going full Tetsuo and I might just die from it, it’s so bad.

Anyway is there like a subculture of putting Corvette badges on Camaros? And before anybody corrects me, no these were not the original Camaro badge from the 60s, these were Corvette badges.

Yeah. There's some voodoo because technically you're not supposed to be able to edit listings that aren't your own, but some distributors or something have super user level ones because they could theoretically sell anything??? Anyway, they sell editing items as a service because of course they do. There was a story or whatever on YouTube a few years back about the pitfalls of selling on Amazon (and there's a lot!) and this came up. I recall being horrified and astounded.

It's great because it applies retroactively too, so you can be browsing your purchase history and instead of a rechargeable light for camping you have a camo sex swing or whatever. People get really angry about it and contact customer service. Not sure if edited listings show up that you purchased a light or a sex swing for suggestions. Good times!

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


Because their e commerce platform was designed for themselves originally and it has over 20 years of tech debt at this point.

I'm sure having existing customer/seller service fix it along the way is cheaper than architecting, coding, and implementing a real solution! And I'm sure it was cheaper to have people do their own listings instead of in house.

It's dumb.

I think it's the case that one product can be sold by many companies through Amazon. If Company X sells Kawasaki Footpegs, Company Y can come along and say "oh, I actually sell those too, here's a better image and an accurate product description!" Or in this case, here's a jump rope vibrator.

Amazon intentionally does not moderate their dropshippers in any meaningful way. They also still, in 2022, bin multiple vendors' products of the same SKU together, so you never really know if your 'shipped by Amazon' thing is going to be genuine or a knockoff.
