Being screwed on exchange fees the PayPal takes for payments in euro when your account uses dollars is no fun. A quarter here, half a dollar there...

Well that is silly. can you make your purchase without using paypal?

I don't use card for internet purchases. Which wouldn't solve anything as it would involve bank exchange fee between euro and zloty anyway.
Ah, well. I don't expect support to do anything about that. I'll probably clench my teeth and suck it up, I still will get more from the sale than I'll lose on unfavorable exchange rate. If they would charge me with dollars I'd simply buy more games...

Meh. Headache since the late morning. Mild but distracting. I napped for most of the day. Now its afternoon. I'll be going to sleep within 5 hours... Another day of mostly nothing. That starts keeps to be a pattern.

My son woke me up at five this morning because his bed was wet. After I cleaned him up, got him tucked into our bed, stuffed his sheets and duvet into the washer (NOT his pillow this time, thank goodness) it was apparent that I would not be able to get back to sleep again myself, so I cleaned the kitchen, let the dogs out, made coffee, and worked for an hour on my daughter's quilt.
Bonus: when my husband woke up, he asked, "What's Teensy Valeros doing here?"
Moms and dads lead very different lives.

A cheap thing that I've had for years, much as I like to take credit for breaking it, today was clearly its day to go. Every time I see your name, the Eagles start playing in my head. Not saying it's a bad thing, but now I have an earworm. Lol, that's exactly where my name comes from. I knew it as a song before I knew it as a drink!

What sort of shenanigans can I get up to in this hotel room, I wonders?
Probably not very much, but suggestions are very welcome.

The sword & dagger seminar is over, and it was heaps of fun. We had a mini tournament at the end and I took third place, which was alright.

You know what one of the hidden benefits of a university Geography major is? Being the one American around who actually knows where things are overseas. It was so much fun when I worked in the tourist industry, because nothing impresses a Brit quite like a Yank actually knowing the difference between Yorkshire and Scotland, or where Devon is, or what Westminster actually is.
And yes, I do know the difference between Slovakia and Slovenia and where they are.

No Starfinder today, but I have a week off and we're stocked up on groceries, so I'll ambush them with it one of these afternoons.

None. Hotel rooms are not for shenanigans. Neither are hotel lobbies, hotel swimming pools, hotel hallways, hotel parking lots... In fact, just no shenanigans anywhere near a hotel. Okay? Thank you.

A couple of weeks ago my wife sent me to the store with a note that read "Buy a gallon of milk, if they have eggs get 6." So I came home with 6 gallons of milk. When she angrily demanded to know why, I said "Because they had eggs."

If we define height as "a" and radius as "z", then we get volume equal to pi*z*z*a. Math can be delicious.

A superconductor went to a bar and got really drunk. When the bartender threw it out, the superconductor offered no resistance.

What do you get when you cross a mountain climber with a mosquito? Nothing. You can't cross a scalar with a vector.

Why did the bear dissolve in water? Because it was a polar bear.
I think I've used this one before.

How do you make a polar bear? Easy. Take a Cartesian bear and perform a coordinate transformation.

A mosquito can transmit disease, so it is a vector.
In math, a scalar has only magnitude, while a vector has magnitude and direction.
A cross product is a mathematical operation that can be done on two vectors.
You cannot find the cross product of a scalar and a vector.
Understand now?

A physics student had time to kill at the end of an exam, and decided to have some fun with the extra-credit question: "You are given an accurate barometer, how would you use it to determine the height of a skyscraper?" He answered: "Go to the top floor, tie a long piece of string to the barometer, let it down 'til it touches the ground, and measure the length of the string".
The examiner wasn't satisfied, so the professor decided to interview the student:
"Can you give us another method, one that demonstrates your knowledge of physics ?"
"Sure. Go to the top floor, drop the barometer off, and measure how long before it hits the ground......"
"Not quite what we wanted. Care to try again ?"
"Make a pendulum of the barometer, measure its period at the bottom, then measure its period at the top...."
"...another try ?..."
"Measure the length of the barometer, then mount it vertically on the ground on a sunny day and measure its shadow, measure the shadow of the skyscraper...."
"...and again ?..."
"Walk up the stairs and use the barometer as a ruler to measure the height of the walls in the stairwells."
"...One more try?"
"Find where the janitor lives, knock on his door, and say 'Please, Mr. Janitor, if I give you this nice barometer, will you tell me the height of this building?"

I used to be bad at geometry, but through hard work and perseverance, I've turned that around 360 degrees.
