OK the levofloxacin seems 10x better than azithromycin
So it was:
- not COVID, but rather bacterial
- something that is responding to treatment.
That's very good. May your recovery continue.

@kazitor I admire your skills (or, probably, knowing the right tools). That would have taken me 8 hours.

@kazitor said in The Official Status Thread:

What software do you use?
-
@topspin
Affinity Photo to erase the text and crop, then Affinity Designer to add the text because the former won’t let you put text along paths D:<And while we’re at it, Krita for “painting” now because, despite recognising what the tablet eraser mode is in a settings menu yet refusing to have anything to do with it, it has a number of other features that make it nicer to use.

@Gąska I'm a firm believer in solving the "Prussian Problem" early...
-
@GOG okay, you solved the "Prussian" problem... but I see a much bigger issue on your map.
The Mongols, of course.
-
@Gąska The Mongols, qua Mongols, won't be showing up for a while yet ('s only 893, after all).
The Khazars, on the other hand, are getting a solid butt-kicking, right after I kick Bulgaria out of Galicia (and maybe Moldavia). Come to think about it, Bohemia is looking a wee bit weak and exposed. I'm disappointed by my cousins up in Lithuania: they got a whole kingdom's worth of land and proceeded to lose most of it.
Also, we iz totally progressiv - the reigning King Małowuj is gay (still managed to beget a son, though).

You can be more efficient and prolific by combining slight experience with MS Paint and indifference to what anyone ever uses

Also, apparently my computer has been unlocked on the same screen, I guess I'm going to discover whether burn-in is a thing with this monitor.

Status: Walmart no longer sells Red Rose tea in their stores, but they still sell it online (shipped to home only; no store pickup). They sell it in quantities of four boxes of 100 tea bags each — or 40 tea bags each — for the same price. One unit of four boxes is not enough to qualify for free shipping, so I am now the proud owner of 800 bags of Red Rose tea (arriving Monday, allegedly). At about 4 bags/day (plus whatever my son drinks), that should last me about 6 months.

Aren’t you moving from UTC+1 to UTC-5?

@topspin nope. UTC-6. Because we're still mortally afraid of the virus, I'll be working remotely until further notice.

Status: Desperately trying not to accomplish anything.
Multiple checkout screens open and not checking out? Check.
Washing machine filled with water but no clothes yet? Check.
Paperwork nearby but scattered just enough to be out of order? Check.
Visual Studio project loaded with all classes commented out? Check.Edit: Add to that a sink full of dishes, half the cats' litter box scooped out, and ready to clean the toilet only to discover I'm out of whatever gets marks off bathroom fixtures (and I can't go get any until the laundry's done - at least the grocery store still carries that, unlike soap to wash a car, fuck you for closing KMart).
-
@Zenith you... manually fill water into the washing machine?
-
@topspin No? Once you set the cycle, it fills up on its own. It doesn't start washing until you close the lid.

@Zenith said in The Official Status Thread:

In the front-loading washing-machine world, it won't start anything (including filling with water) until the door is closed and the mechanism has locked it.

I think I'm going to start saying "A.T. machine" and "P.I. number" just because that sounds somehow even more grating

Yeah, unless you have sensitive paint or something it's so much cheaper and works just fine.
I use perhaps three tablespoons per gallon of water of Dawn.

Charging them is easy. Doing so safely is a little more tricky, but even if you have a cheapo trickle charger it should be fine so long as you get the polarity right.
