Below are the songs YouTube music tells me I played the most in the order of most played to least played. There are 93 instead of 100 and I have not one clue why it did that. In any event, I have YouTube premium and think it well worth the money. I don't get ads on music or video. I listen to on average of 28 hours of music a week it seems, so it's well worth the money to me to have no ads in-between songs. As well it seems a 10 minute video these days will have 10 or 11 freaking ads in it. Why the shit that happens I don't know - greed I guess. In any event, here is the list.

So put in an order for delivery the other day. I've noticed that the delivery prices for items are slightly higher than if I order for pickup. As well the price for delivery was all over the place until they settled for $7.99. You may think that's a LOT for delivery, but to be honest most of the orders from this store are quite large, so the person needs to do a lot of work getting them to you. I also always tip 5% as I can afford it most of the time and the person is doing a lot of heavy lifting when I get a big order. This was hotdogs for the day after the delivery and pickles for the Christmas holiday. It's a family tradition to nibble on prickled things for a week leading up to Christmas day. The total was actually a couple bucks less when it came as one item had to be substituted for a lesser priced one. For people like me, it's a blessing to get it to the door and not have to go out there and try and get it all to my apartment. With a big order if there are no car...

I have a Samsung A50. I was running Nova Launcher, but I stopped using it as it keeps going back to the Samsung launcher every single time I open any app, so I uninstalled Nova. I tried all the tricks in the book to get it to run stable, but NOPE. So back to the crappy UI from Samsung. I'm so not paying for Apex to replace it. The customization on the native launcher is extremely limited. Most icon packs do NOT support this launcher and there is no place to install icon packs except the Samsung store, so all my icon packs are now of no use. This is the default theme you are seeing with my own background on it, I made it with a program on my PC called Bryce 7.1 Pro. The worst part of this UI, is you cannot hide the apps you will literally never use, so I tossed them in a folder and named it "Shit Apps" LOL. There is no way to have infinite scrolling turned on so you have to go back and forth with no ability to wrap around to the start from the last screen. As well the home...

Mixed veggies, Turkey, Mashed and Stuffing . Bean Salad, Coleslaw, Bacon Pasta Salad, and Wheat Salad. Pickled Beets, Pickle Chips, Pickled Onions, and Garlic Stuffed Olives. Mild Cheddar Cheese.   The "free meal" came with Christian literature that I did not read. I very much enjoyed the meal and appreciate that it was provided to me by caring people. I have an issue with turkey as it gives me a headache, but I enjoyed the heck out of it anyway and just quietly suffered after. It's been a long time since I had turkey. Mom would have loved this (God rest her soul). The people in my building are poor and can't often afford very much. Being that this year we are cut off from being with others due to the pandemic, it was important to have some form of celebration of the season.

The common arias are supposed to be closed to the public in my building. The main floor where some tables and chairs are, is roped off with caution tape. However in the basement where the laundry is, there is also a recreation room with a TV and a few exercise machines. The rec room is not taped off and people are ignoring the sines saying not to enter and going in there anyway. This is one of the reasons I think I'm doomed. As for laundry, it sucked. I have to wear a mask to be in the public arias of the building (out of my apartment). I also have had stuff go missing in other buildings when I left my laundry. So I have gotten into the habit of staying with my stuff as it washes and dries. Wearing the mask the entire time is a bother to say the least. This was my last disposable one and the cloth mask was in the wash. The dang thing kept popping off my chin and going into my eyes. Folding the laundry was the worst part and it must have popped into my eyes 8 or 9 times. I really ne...

  I ordered about $110 worth of stuff on Amazon. It was 8 days later and still not shipped, so I canceled the order completely. I figured when you did that they would send out a cancelation to your credit card and the hold would vanish. NOPE. So I used the card for a number of things locally. Then I look at the web page for my card and DANG if I'm not $88 over my limit. This is not the end of the world, I only get interest tacked on if I go over the 7th of the next month, but it's going to trigger a letter from the bank bitching that I need to give them money to make the balance under the limit. Well I don't have $88 and only have $30. I have already set up a payment of the $30 because I wanted to use the card some more. Well NOPE, won't be using it, as the massive hold may end up on there for weeks. Now I'm wondering what happens if it's still on when I get paid and pay off the card, then the hold comes off. Then do I magically get my money put back in the bank...

First thing in the morning, I put the kettle on and go do my thing cleaning up in the bathroom. By the time I shave and brush my teeth, the kettle is boiling. I put some coffee in the French Press and pour in the boiling water and put the lid on but not press it down. I check Facebook and Twitter, then by the time, ten minutes has lapsed and I press down the plunger on the coffee press and pour a cup. I sit quietly looking out the window and sip away at the coffee. I do let it cool first, as my mouth cannot handle very hot drinks. Mom drank it right out of the pot and I have no idea how as I'd be in terrible pain. This time before I fire up YouTube or watch some streaming service or get at my tasks for the day is a great way to wake up and gently start the day. Coffee is a great pleasure to me and to be honest some people think there is decaf that is as good, but it's a lie. I've tried and it's always sucked very badly to drink decaf. The strange thing is, if I miss my ...

This is my intestines coming out threw the stomach muscles. I have an incisional hernia. It started out as scar tissue on the muscle after my gallbladder was removed. Years later I woke up to an incredible pain and ended up passing out on the kitchen floor then calling 911. That was the start of it and was small at the time. I needed surgery that same day, as a small hernia can kill you (not a big one). The fix lasted a year more or less then let go and I had to get it fixed again. This time it was bigger but not this size. It was a short operation and but I was left in the worse pain of my life. It was level 10 for 3 days. The gave me the strongest pain meds you can get. It did nothing at all, besides plug up my pooper. It was a horror show all the way. First I could not pee, and had to get my friend to take me to the ER to get drained. The nurse was unable to get the catheter in my bladder. It was not my prostate being at issue, but her inability to do it for some reason. Another nur...

Love this fake Christmas card. Inside it tries to get you to sign up for a $10,000 loan. I make like $13,000 a year, what a great idea to give me a 10K loan LOL. My dentist used to send out a Christmas card, but has not in several years.  

New keyboard. I thought it was lost in the mail and ordered another one. Sure enough after I got the refund and the 2nd one was on the way, this one showed up in the mail. So I have an extra in the closet. It's has large letters and lights up white - so it's easy to see at all times. This is the mouse that came with the 2nd light up keyboard I ordered. It obviously lights up as well, and cycles threw colors. You will notice the car cartoon mouse pad as well. I freaking love it. It was in my wish list and someone got it for me. I smile every time I fire up the PC and see the mouse pad.  

I just got an email from YouTube music. Evidently I've listened to 1492 hours of music in the last year. Most of it is widely ranging music. The top 3 artists are Skrillex (14 hours) Slipknot (9 hours) Disturbed (8 hours). Top 4 songs are "Sound of Silence by Disturbed" 34 plays, "Carry on Wayward Son by Kansas" 32 plays, "Psychosocial by Slipknot" 32 plays, "The Devil in I by Slipknot" 32 plays. Top 4 playlists " Heavy ", " Smack Up (NSFW) ", High Times ", " Trans Am Rock ". Top 4 albums "Cold War Nightlife by Rational Youth", "Recess by Skrillex", "Three for the New Cold War by Rational Youth", "Good Company by The Dead South".

Sometimes Windows 10 will mess up the thumbnail database. You can do one of two things to fix it, the first is quicker, but does not always work. The second almost always works and you can clean up your drive while you are at it - drive cleaning is recommended every 6 months anyway under average use (don't waste time on programs that clean the drive, use the windows drive cleaner).   Click "This Computer". Open "Local Disk (C)". Click "View". Click "Options". Click "Change folder and search options". Click "View". Click on "Always show icons, never thumbnails". Click "Apply" Unclick "Always show icons, never thumbnails". Click "Apply". If this does not work, try: Click "This Computer". Right Click "Local Disk (C)". Click "Properties". Click "Disk Cleanup". Click on "Thumbnails". Click "OK". This will take a while as it is de...

I sort by date. I go, fill the kettle, put it on the stove (cooker) and go to the bathroom. Come back, make me tea and sit down - it's NOT done. I screencap, crop the image and get this far into posting this and it's still not done. WTF Windows 10? It's been 15 minutes now and it's literally still doing it. I'll just wait until it's done and tell you the total time. OK this is getting stupid. It just hit 20 minutes. 27 minutes or about in total. 6341 images in the folder but DANG what the actual hell?  

This is a beet, pineapple and goat cheese salad from Boston Pizza in Moose Jaw (the one on the top of Main St). There are also almond slices, red onion and spinach in it. The taste was simply amazing and it was a large portion. I'm going to get this a 9/10.

 The following is a test of the difference in renders between JWildfire Mini and JWildfire 6.05 for the PC with the same flame file. The pro version of JWildfire Mini will export flames, however they are saved in the root directory on your Android device in a folder called "JWildfireMini" and then in "flames". Most newer Android devices file managers will "share" files to other apps including your cloud app or email. You can also port the phone to your PC and navigate the folders easily enough to copy the files. Below is the example of the 2 renders from the same flame then below that the flame in text format. <flame name="DSN JWildfire Mini Test" version="JWildfire 1.61 (01.05.2014)" size="1920 1080" center="0.0 0.0" scale="420.0" rotate="0.0" filter="0.0" filter_kernel="GAUSSIAN" quality="100.0" background="0.0 0.0 0.0" bg_transparency="0" bri...

It's digital clean up day. I'm sorting my new photos and some text documents out on the PC right now - well I'll finish when I'm done this. I was sparked to look at the 5300 posts on Deviant art. There where several with religious connotations and being I'm far from religious these days, they are gone now. There where also a bunch of NSFW images I removed. Also getting the axe where a bunch of selfies and a pile of "digital paintings" that kind of sucked. I went through a second time and deleted several Bryce 3D renders that I just no longer like. In all I remover a couple hundred posts I think. I made a journal entry on DA today saying I blocked someone for the first time. Well I looked in my settings and NOPE, this one was the 2nd. I remember now the other guy was rather aggressive in going on like a mad man "you are copying my style". If I remember correctly he had very little work posted and was not very related to what I was doing, so who th...

So another bug in the Android version of OneDrive app. I got stuck saying 1 left to upload in the notifications. Once again as all the other bugs, I had to clear the user data and set it all back up again. I swear if I could get cloud service that is as simple and such a low price, I'd switch. Thing is I don't tend to trust a lot of the upstarts and there are many trustworthy clouds that are just expensive in comparison. On a side note, it did the same thing on the PC version yesterday. That's an easy fix, just pause sync then start it up again .  

Just had an interesting thing happen on Devient art. A fellow claimed I was copying his JWildfire fractals. I tend to randomly generate them in the PC app and save the ones I like to play with later. Here's the ticket, there is an app for Android called JWildfire Mini - the screenshot above it from the app and shows "Example016" from the app. This is 100% the same as one of "his" works. He did not even bother to mutate it or change the colors. I looked threw the app and it seems not one of "his works" is actually his. To be fair I've seen people say the app only mutates the samples and does not actually randomly generate the flames. People who use the app tend to send the flame file to the PC to render in way better quality, as the app is highly limited in resolution and quality. There are a number of "scripts" one can use in the PC application to make an image as well as just the random feature. The making of a fractal in the PC app is ...

Well a number of sites have popped up to take the place of Tumblr after it decided to drop most of it's content and bad millions of blogs. I personally like BDSMLR - I used to have a naked blog on there but no longer do, I closed it and opened a new account to just follow things. In the day Tumblr was the go to place for porn blogs, nude blogs, kink blogs and adult story blogs. Now it's a wasteland to the most part. I can see a photo blog anyplace and if I have to deal with the Tumblr interface, I better get content I find worthy. Yes I realize there is a need for family friendly sites, but they exist now. I'm posting on Blogger at this very second. There are tens of millions of family safe blogs on here. However if you want to post adult content, it's doable with a warning screen. I do however realize a 12 year old is not going to see "must be 18 or over to view" and just leave. The reality is, the content is all over the place and if they want to see it, the...

This is just not service. We are used to getting things fast. Don't stamp "2 days delivery" on it if it's going to take over a week. I ordered a keyboard to replace the crappy one I'm typing on right now. I have Prime of course, so ya know. So Wednesday comes and goes then all the sudden on Saturday it finally ships. This this is a very long ways away. I don't know if the Canada Post delivery estimate of Monday is realistic. It has to come her threw Winnipeg and Regina. Then has to be sorted here and sent out. Unless it hits Regina today (Sunday) that is not going to happen I don't think. But we will see. It's as I say a great distance and in a truck, so I seriously doubt it. I am however looking forward to using it. I need a new one, and this one lights up white and has big letters on it. It will be very nice to have.  

This is a Domino's Taco Pizza. I had it a couple weeks ago. It does not originally have Jalapenos on it, I had that added. It was nice and I'm glad I added the peppers. I also hit it with some Sriracha after the first slice - that was even better. On it's own I think I'd give it a 5/10. With peppers 7/10. With Sriracha and peppers 8/10. I think it needs more cheese and I think it should come with the Jalapenos and some hot sauce in the base. Or at least that should be an option and sell 2, calling one the "Spicy Taco Pizza".

Watched a video of 10 movies that should not work but do. Well I have seen every last one of them so here they are with the IMDB links, the IMDB rating and my rating. Primer (2004) IMDB Rating 6.9 - My Rating: 8 As the video states this is slow and I'm sure a modern audience (young people) will click off after 10 minutes. But for those who like to sit and think while the movie is on, it's awesome. Mandy (2018)   IMDB Rating 6.5 - My Rating: 7 All I need to say to make this worth watching is "demonic drug fueled bikers". The ultra-violent revenge is a bonus. Donnie Darko (2001)   IMDB Rating 8.0 - My Rating: 9 When you are left thinking "is this a demon or magic or just his brain injury making him crazy", it just has the right feel to it all the way threw. On a side note, there is an urban legend of a bunny suit killer that is related to a photo that was supposedly "found film" and when developed there was the bunny suit man dragging the dead body ...

Well I had rather low expectations when I get this. I was however surprised that it was actually quite tasty. Sure I've had better, but they set me back $6 or $8 for a jar of sauce. Yes you do get a hint of metallic taste when you use a can with sauce (it's acidic), but it was still quite good. I paid $1.08 for this and it was well worth it. It's enough sauce to feed a family of 4 easily for an evening meal of pasta. I also ordered their pasta but it was out and they substituted something else. I ended up eating it for 2 days 2 meals a day however as I'm single. But it was good heated up as well (not as good as fresh, but good). I'm doing this well after I tossed the can, so I'm not certain, but I do NOT think it's vegan. For price VS quality I'm going to give it a 7 / 10.
