Feels like the mild form of some viral thing. Runny nose, coughing, sore throat, chills. May have been under the radar for a few days, but I noticed it today, something like six hours ago.

I'm going to isolate myself in my bedroom for a few days so that I don't pass this to the baby. Son_2 is going to watch Grandson_3 for symptoms, since we were looking at missions to Jupiter's moons Europa and Io on YouTube together when I first noticed it.

Expecting significant snow on Tuesday, very cold [1] temperatures the next two days.

@gnu2 There's a reason people call them "conspiratards". Once you swallow one such story, you're much more likely to accept others.

Is Tesla's self-driving software "ready" ? I don't know. I don't have a car at all, let alone a Tesla. It is probably best thought of as "cruise control++".

@inscius They've been trying to audit the Pentagon for years. Between trying to fire everyone who understands government accounting and doing a rush job, I don't see this working at all.

I missed this because Grandson_3 isn't waking me at 06:00 every morning to check the weather reports like he used to. Something about being in school now, I guess.

@clacke @sun All I know is that around 85 minutes I start wishing the movie would end. I don't watch many movies, but when I do, they're almost always painfully long.

For the first time in a long time, I've recently had itching so intense it was painful. I'm not talking about my scratching being painful, because a few days ago when it started, I hadn't scratched yet.

Lotion with salicylic acid helped temporarily where the regular super-powered lotions did not help at all. I've been applying this medicated lotion to knock it down, then taking some ibuprofen to keep it down.

I hadn't been taking my nutritional supplements (Centrum Silver + additional B-complex, C, D3, E, calcium, magnesium, etc) as I'm starting to run out and the household budget is tight enough already.

Not everyone feels the violent part, of course, but I'm sure everyone who ever deals with banks wishes they could go around them and let them starve to death.

The food I took out of the freezer this morning is still frozen solid, so Son_2 is going to pick up burgers. He promises that this time there will be a no-pickles burger for me.

So far, Grandson_6 seems to be much easier than Grandson_5 was. GS5 screamed loudly when anyone except Mommy held him (something that continued until shortly before his 2nd birthday), while GS6 is calm.

@clacke Many nations are running trade deficits, even nations that don't control the world's reserve currency. The currency thing is more involved with the government's budget deficit than with the trade deficit.

I've long been in favor of raising taxes (especially on the wealthy [high level of assets but not necessarily high current income] & high income) as part of ending the budget deficit and repaying the national debt. IMO, those currently under 30 and their kids are going to be stuck paying all those funds back.

The trade deficit is partly caused by shifting production to countries without costly environmental protections that also have low labor costs. As those advantages evaporate, certain countries that have been booming for the past few decades will find themselves struggling.

I don't know who Adrian Vermeule is, but in a properly functioning government department, the cabinet secretary in charge of the department has no access to most of their critical systems. Their job is to give policy direction that gets implemented by the people authorized to touch those systems.

Son_2 is on the phone with the ISP. (I hope!)

Apparently, someone attempted to log into the account yesterday and the ISP reacted by starting the account closure process when they couldn't get someone on the phone.

So if I disappear for a little while, that's why.
