Fees and Flares


I don't pay a fee for my credit card, but that does not mean I never get and frees tacked on. I got a $9.00USD item (digital item) and it not only came to $12.05 in CDN but the card company charged me $0.30 for the transaction. I try hard to not use foreign companies when paying for things or services, but now and then you just have to. Normally a company that I deal with will have a branch in Canada and you can deal with them, but not this time.

In any event, I now have no money until the end of the week (5 days), and I am in a fibro flare and wish to GOD I had the ability to order in, but I am just going to have to cook something up. I also wish I still had some of the dressing I was using on my pasta, that would be quick and easy on some veggies. Oh well, this is life. I have to say, if I win the lotto, I am never going to cook again, I'll order in salads and so on every day.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
