      honestly not a fan of performative acts to demonstrate humanity…be it captchas, or otherwise

      i've never been convinced that a machine wasnt capable of picking out the buses or the crosswalks and it just requires the actual humans to take more time to complete whatever it is they were trying to do

        Why on earth do people think it is acceptable to have a phone conversation in a restaurant on speaker?

        Next time it happens, Paula will have to do all she can to restrain me from going over to the ignorant twat and saying to the person at the other end.  "I'm Giles. On the basis that you wanted the whole fucking restaurant to listen to your meaningless twaddle, I thought I ought to introduce myself"…..

          That is appalling. I noticed when I was over that there is a lot more talking on cell phones with or without speaker, in a normal or even loud voice level around normal people. On the train from Gatwick I was entertained by the hopes and dreams of an ignorant little twat from Havant. I can only hope it was his mother he was speaking to. Or the Samaritans.

                              About to recover from Covid-19… I have had four jabs and haven't thought it would hit me that bad.... but it really kicked my ass. Spend almost the past week in bed or laying around... going up the stairs to the second floor is still a challenge and zero smell or tase... FUCK!

                              God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson

                                @Chap Sorry to hear that Jens.  My strength/cardio took forever to return (1.5-2 months), but my symptoms were not as severe.  Laura’s symptoms worried the hell out of me and I thought I would have to take her to the hospital.  She slept for 20 hours on two separate days and didn’t get out of bed except once.  I don’t think she would have eaten or drank anything unless I brought it to her and made sure she consumed it.

                                She recovered much more quickly and was back to normal in about 3 weeks.

                                  I had a really rough time with Covid and I took the Paxlovid as soon as I tested positive. I had a rough time with the shots,so it kind of makes sense that I would have a rough time if I ever got Covid. Took about 3 months to get back to where I was before I had it.

                                      Feel better soon. Maybe a good time for some cooking experiments, not much risk of something being inedible.

                                          It took me two weeks to get over it, and months to fully recover.
