And I'm willing to bet that a helluva lot more people show these symptoms at 6 weeks than the official long covid count of "10%" (one out of every 10 people).

Most don't report it. Most think it's just getting old, or some other reason.

COUNT!!

SIX WEEKS!!

Then get back to me.

#Covid #LongCovid

#PSA

Know someone who has #Covid or a "cold" right now or maybe it's you?

Mark the calendar for 6 (six) weeks from now.

And track the behavioral changes.

Yeah. I'm totally serious.

#LongCovid

✓ Seems confused

✓ Can't find the right words, even simpler ones like "door"

✓ Gets overwhelmed easily

✓ Can't handle two(2) of these at the same time:
• persons talking
• music playing
• tv on, even in another room

✓ Answers slowly like waiting for the words to catch up

✓ Angers quickly & suddenly... often because overwhelm hits hard & stopping the noise is literally *survival*

✓ HUNGER! Sudden & ravenous (brains use more energy than you realize)

✓ NAPS! (see above)

Ok so today is the first day of the season I've broken out the neck heater to the out my fingers.

To be fair, I've been outside mucking about making a compost tote and hiding down some pots for storage and the water is cold... and it was sunny but getting not so much now... and a slight breeze...

And I am wearing a tank top and denim capris and sandals.

It's the changeover to fall mindset that is the most difficult for me.

Costco is rationing motor oil.

So there's that.

@elfin

Yeah the priority for oil is gas and deisel (which is like $7.50/gal. Jumped a lot last week. .25 in one day.

@feld @elfin @josh

And the restaurants pay through the nose for doordash even when the customer isn't getting doordash delivery. 🤬

Gonna start chipping away at them very soon.

Training the customers is, as always, the hard part.

THAT'S why it was like that.

When I hear "flash flood" I think of massive amounts of rain. But this started as an avalanche sliding into a lake basically emptying the lake that then followed the creek/river path to obliterate everything.

When we talk about glaciers melting, it's always accompanied by a visual of a big chunk of ice falling into the ocean.

I've never seen it shown as a glacier go down as an avalanche into a lake.

So...

This is what the White House suggests to Congress:

That they should not create a regulatory agency for AI.

And that states should not regulate AI.

Cool. Cool.

Holy shit 😱

Seen by my daughter driving to an event this morning:

A car on its side + 3 other cars and a semi truck with a trailer.

Then just in the past hour coming home:

Somewhere between Lacey & Seattle:

While sitting in traffic for upcoming crash:

"Strange rigor deer" on the side of I-5 😳

"Upcoming crash":

Pickup and camper upside down in the ditch

A few hundred feet further, a car with bashed in rear end with no apparent car doing the...

Mobile popup windows should NEVER completely cover the screen. Leave 5% on all sides so it's obvious what's just happened and make the damn "x" (to close the pop-up) in the upper right corner with excellent contrast.

Can't log in to my T-Mobile account to chat with support to tell them I have no phone signal, no SMS, and only one of the two routers has WiFi but no calling with Wi-Fi available on it...

Because...

It's sending my phone an SMS.

ANYONE WANNA FIGHT OVER WHAT A BAD FUCKING IDEA 2FA IS???

Found chat on their website without logging in.

Here's how that started.

ANYONE WANNA FIGHT ABOUT HOW FUCKING STUPID AI SUPPORT IS???

I expected to hear about some new clusterfuck at the Bite of Seattle after the past 2 years of failures because of different out of town companies taking over.

I was *NOT* expecting a mass shooting! 😱

"...We have some *really profoundly scary* technology at Oracle, and we wanted to make sure that it was available for the effort. Let's just say that, OK?"

The lead-in to that:
"There's a few things that we did, that I really can't talk about, to be honest, because, to advance the agenda for the Israeli... military, but our teams did a lot..."

UGH!! This is why I won't replace my 2020 phone with anything but another 2020 phone.

I really hope phone sales plummet because of this.

Well well. I'm impressed. Haven't been impressed with Wired in a long time.

The new commemorative 250th "Patriot Passport" has some new features, according to Marco Rubio:

✓ when you flip the pages the image in the corner moves...

Uh... you mean like we drew when we were 8. Really?

✓ a "certificate of authenticity"

Uh... isn't that kinda built into the passport itself because it's a... passport?

HERE'S MY FAVORITE:

✓ QR codes

Uh... that just gives me warm fuzzies all over

(You guys do know I'm fluent in sarcasm right?)
