Speaking of drugs... When I opened up my last bottle of Bacardi the aroma wafted out of the bottle and it smelled delicious. That got me thinking. Uh-oh! So I made a meme. I love the smell of dark rum in the morning. If anyone wants to complete it; It smells like...
I was thinking of this picture a couple days ago when I saw a preview of Apocalypse Now, and decided to make a new version of it. The yellow background and green and black text colors are copied from the 1st Cavalry Division Shoulder Sleeve Insignia. The green text is 2-3 pixels down and left of the black text. I don't know if it looks like double-vision or shadows, but I like it. I replaced the M16 in the hand of the soldier on the right with a bottle of BACARDÍ Gold Rum. It was a pain to replace parts of the rifle and bottle images with colors from the background one pixel at a time and blend it together, but I think it turned out really well.
This is the new lock screen on my laptop. When I go up north for the 4th of July and hook my laptop up to my new projector (or my friend's TV) for movie night, everyone will get to see this on the lock screen when I turn on the laptop. Then it will fade into the background on the sign-in screen. I made it 1366x768 pixels to exactly fit the 15.6" laptop, which by the way has lower resolution than my 5.7" cell phone, which is 1512x720. That's 39,552 MORE pixels on a screen that's a fraction of the size of the laptop. 1,088,640 vs. 1,049,088, almost 4% more pixels in what looks like less than 15% of the space but I haven't figured it out. If I use the picture as a background, the taskbar will cover the text on the bottom and only show a yellow stripe. I use Bing Wallpaper to have a different image every day, but I tried it to see how much would of the bottom of the pic would show.
The laptop also uses TN-effect display and has a very limited viewing angle, but still doesn't look good at the perfect angle. That's why I only watch something on it while lying in bed, and not very long or often. It sucks. My desktop monitor looks good from any angle you can see it from, 179 degrees side to side. This is what a TN monitor looks like compares to an IPS monitor, and my laptop is even worse. The only way I can get the picture dark enough at night is to lean the screen back away from me, but can't go too far back or it blacks everything out. Anyone buying a laptop or monitor should keep this in mind and look at the screen from different angles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwDMhXUyGQ0 I can't drink any rum because I'm taking Tylenol 3s after getting the roots of my 2 broken teeth, and 1 wisdom tooth pulled Tuesday. I've only been walking around with exposed roots since April. No wonder I had to start taking antibiotics again. I'm back on my meds but my blood pressure was still dangerously high and the dentist couldn't use the regular numbing medicine, I think he said epinephrine, so he injected me with some other stuff that doesn't work nearly as well, and apparently doesn't do
anything to slow down bleeding. He had to sew up the holes to slow it down. The pain of getting the teeth pulled was excruciating, and I have to wait until next month to see if my BP is low enough for the good meds so I can get more work done. One of my font teeth split down the middle making it hard to sleep for the last week. It's not as bad after I put some super glue gel on it to seal the crack and help stabilize the 2 halves, kind of like putting a cast on a broken bone. When I texted my friend at work and told him all about it, I asked him how his day was, and he said even though he at work, it was better than mine.
That's just what I expected to hear.
