Funny thing - I've been using this software for a decade and I've never noticed that feature.
 
Another feature that I find valuable and use most of the time is the lightening bolt icon in the toolbar which takes you to the New Posts page.
 
Nothing like a check engine light coming on your 14yo car on the way to work on a Monday morning after the 4 day holiday weekend.

Sigh..it's the Honda IMA warning too..so really hoping it's not a full hybrid battery failure.

Edit..Only 147k miles on it and was really hoping to get a lot more without spending $$$$$ on a new hybrid battery.

Well the good news is that's its only the IPU module fan that's faulty. Hybrid battery still checks out.

Bad news is that we got hit from behind coming home in my wife's car, while stopped at a stop sign. So my luck is toxic right now with cars.

Also back is sore AF the next day.
 
Wife loves Domino's, but I know it's jus pragmatism. I respect that.

Easy to get a decent customized pizza on deal quick because they always have them. Attaching coupons in their website is mad easy, on the app is easier.

When she's pregnant Domino's and I are acquaintances. I go down street for carryout to save money and get a breather, no lie.

The best pizza I have ever had was from a guy in rural Illinois that put an oven in the back of a strip mall liquor store. I used to have some half-baked and frozen shipped to Florida. He has since upgraded and opened a small dine-in restaurant next door.

Strangest pizza experience I had was when we stopped for the night in Toledo after visiting family in Michigan. It was Sunday in the fall and I wanted to watch football. So the wife picked up a pizza at a sub shop in the strip mall right next to the hotel. Honestly it was one of the better pizzas I've ever had.
 
Luck worm is turning again. After the Honda dealer ordered the wrong part and kept the car an extra day, they just called me and said it ready. AND...that it was covered under the general 15 yr/150k warranty.

Was expecting to pay $700...now I owe nothing. Merry early Xmas to me and yippee ki-yay mf'ers. 😁

Wife might be hitting the Covid-trifecta today. Last 2 times we've flown somewehere she's been sick ~24 hours after we get home. Last time was Covid in August after our return from Aruba.

Only had it once, a month after getting a booster. It was October and it was an 8 day staycation consisting of bike rides in the fall colors and playing with my new puppy, hardly any symptoms.

I went about 15 years without so much as the sniffles. Then I was governmentally forced to take the vaccine. Since I have been sick 5 times. Coincidence? Maybe. But I previously had an Iron Sheik immune system. Now I have a Pee Wee Herman one.
 
I've had covid once at least but probably 4-5 times since my wife works at a rehab facility and seems to be around it a lot. The one time I know that I had covid there were no major symptoms. I've also never had a covid shot because of my medical conditions I was told that it could be dangerous but at the time I was told that they thought I was going to be dead anyway and I haven't asked about it again. Anyway I no longer have a spleen and that was one of the reasons.

The reason that I know I had it once was because I was in the hospital for my pancreatic cancer tumor removal in 2021 and since they found out that I had covid they put me in the isolation section of the hospital for 2 weeks. In isolation you are basically ignored almost all the time because they think you are going to kill them, so in return they almost killed me but apparently I am pretty strong.

They also postponed my surgery for 2 weeks even though I was down from 190 pounds to 120, failed to acknowledge an infection because the people in that hospital are actually clueless, which turned into sepsis for a month which wasn't even diagnosed until a day before I was flown by the VA to an actual real hospital. All hospitals can easily infect you but only some of them actually know how to properly deal with it once you are infected. if you think that you are and they won't even run any tests, GTFO of that hospital and find a better one. I didn't leave but the reason I stayed is because I had to be there for my cancer surgery.

I had the chills so bad where my entire body was shaking even though I had 4-5 blankets and a heating blanket, my leg was on fire hot as well but everybody said that I didn't have an infection because my temperature was normal and my white blood cell count was also normal, so I sat there trying to believe them. Until my leg exploded and infection the size of a small lake spilled out onto the floor. literally everywhere. It was unbelievable. Probably a gallon.

Then they filleted, or debrided my leg until it looked like someone ran a chainsaw up and down it for 30 minutes, covered it in some kind of acid to kill the infection and then forgot to tell the night doctor to give me serious pain meds so when I woke up I stayed awake all night screaming and crying and almost murdered a nurse because they refused to give me anything and almost went home because why voluntarily stay in a torture chamber. Seriously had to be the worst pain you could go through. It felt like my leg was inside a deep fryer for 8+ hours and i couldn't take it out. The next day they had a dozen or more doctors and administration come to my room and apologize after they doped me up on some hardcore meds.

That was when they gave me hydromorphone on demand just by clicking a button and that stuff works, apparently it's about 10x stronger than morphine.

Then on the way out, since they didn't realize that I was infected for a month the hospital tried to say that I had necrotizing fasciitis, since that can eat body parts in no time.

The 2nd hospital disagreed and said it's not necrotizing but it was apparent that I got infected soon after entering the other hospital or I was already infected so they amputated my left leg, almost amputated my other leg and right arm but the antibiotics worked so I still have those. I will be taking a maximum dose of antibiotics 2x a day until I die or until there is a way to remove this infection that is in all of my bones.

So after all that, and losing most of my pancreas and stomach from cancer and having my spleen and gallbladder removed as well, I'm not really sweating about covid shots so much right now.

I've already survived something that I had less than 1% chance of surviving. I still have the cancer and it's stage 4 on my liver now but the chemo kind of works and the radiation and Y90 worked so well the last 18 months that I haven't needed chemo again yet but I'll find out in 2 weeks if it's back or spread somewhere else.
