    Still positive for COVID-19. Bah. Oh well, I will be working from home for the first half of this week. Looks like it is going to be a couple more days at least before I get a real negative test. It’s certainly less strongly positive than the test I took 5 days ago. But positive is positive. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/b9483675d44e9803afdf969b13733ee2c25e7c141865462e0e8c58d0ddbb1f1f/view

    Time for a COVID-19 test! Let’s hope for a negative. Still would have to have another negative in 48 hours to be fairly sure I am beyond the “contagious” stage (still gonna wear a mask, regardless, if I go out in public, untill all symptoms are gone).

                  This is the first 24 hour period that my COVID infection symptoms have begun to wane. As with all respiratory infections, it feels good to be on this side of the symptom set. It is like breathing normally through your nose for the first time, every time … like some kind of oxygen revelation.

                      Finally won the COVID lottery, and it only took 3 years. Tested positive for the first time last night, and it was a strong and fast positive. I was negative just three days prior, but not a surprise with these antigen tests. Need a certain viral load to trigger a response. So, I continue staying home and working from home. Statistically, I credit the steady stream of vaccines for the mildness of these symptoms. Until that test, I would have sworn this was just a mild flu. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/8f136c330073c96204f972fc0d8e824b5c6ede7e6e60689df863ad1eefd31737/view

                          Oh, Apple. Got bit by this bug. Upon reinstalling Catalina, it won’t let you accept the license agreement after logging in with an Apple ID. https:// mrmacintosh.com/cant-accept-ic loud-terms-after-macos-install-agree-button-greyed-out/ The fact that you are unable to install and OS because it won’t let you accept a license agreement is, in the immortal words of the coach in Letterkenney, “F**kin’ embarrassing!”

                            Still dealing with this troublesome Mac in our house where the upgrade to Ventura went sideways. There was no recovering that. Machine is wiped and getting a fresh install of Catalina. We'll try stepping it up to Ventura, then recover the data ... if that is allowed by Apple.

Throw a starfleet uniform on Jack Quaid, dip his head in some purple dye, kick him into the background of a scene on the USS Titan, and give me live action transporter clone William Boimler!

AND states have sold the information to various entities—Texas sold theirs to the Pentagon, for some reason. So, it's a hellscape herre.

                                  @brianstorms @clacke @countcol the pornographers are always at the forefront of any viable new technology. Which is why their lack of interest in crypto currency is telling.

                                  @eliasr det var en händelse som fördes på Twitter när KD tog upp ämnet
                                  om SD:s rasistiska & nazistiska "förflutna".
                                  Åkesson blev rasande & påminde Busch att "självgoda finborgare" i KD styr landet under hans nåder. Buschs uttryckte att: "De [SD] har den bakgrund de har. Kom över det nu. Vi har uppenbarligen kunnat göra det. Hon erkände att hon & KD inte har några problem att ge inflytande åt SD & deras uppenbart levande rötter.
