A pinched nerve is a real diagnosis, in that you generally know what happened. But unless there are other red flag symptoms you don't look for the actual cause, because it's really difficult and it only takes two to three days to recover. Usually a symbol of underdeveloped muscles in your back.

This must've been an absolute bitch to paint. All those lines. Damn. But I like it. I wouldn't want to look at it all the time, but a nice painting.

Yeah, but change it how? Maybe it'll run away with your partner.

þey

I once twisted a nerve in my shoulder by sitting down wrong in the bus.

I have a sudden desire to purchase rcu_sched

No, those are fine.

Same here. I keep hearing that Powershell is so good, but I have to look up every little thing. It's all too specific and you can't remember it all.

Damn.

I am past that. I realized, that a lot of the stuff I remember fondly only worked at the time and age when I first saw it. My kids will have their own stuff.

I also learned to not rewatch stuff I thought was good. Especially not comedies. And very especially not comedies from the 80s or 90s.

I wanted to say the same, but then I saw the avatar next to your name and realized that I do in fact see avatars. I just never noticed and still don't care.

It looks like the thread is keeping the upper part from slipping out, yes. But that still creates vertical stress on the glued part. And the thread won't hold long either, is my prediction. It will loosen over time. Repairing something sometimes means replacing parts and that's the right approach here.

Woah, you're an optimist.

For example the CDC and similar organizations in Europe. There is no clear definition of what a pandemic is or when a disease becomes endemic. Even the WHO alleges that. As we have no vaccine that would allow us to eradicate Sars-Cov-2 and because the infection numbers are somewhat seasonal I am heavily inclined to follow those experts that call it endemic. It's also important to note that endemic does not equal harmless. Of course we need to research the long-lasting effects and still find ways to deal with them. But I, and apparently most health experts, don't see a need to keep up the awful restrictions from five years ago.

Looking at the CDC numbers[1] for the week of May 10, 2025, I see 201 deaths attributed to Covid and 2465 attributed to a group consisting of Covid, pneumonia and influenza (in other words 2264 deaths attributed to pneumonia or influenza). Yes, people die of Covid every week. People will continue to die from Covid forever. Because Covid is now endemic. It will always be a part of our lives now, just like influenza has been for probably a few thousand years. Just because Covid came up during your lifetime doesn't mean it's in any way special. It's just another virus we will have to deal with now. And unlike some other viruses we actually have vaccines against Covid. Take tuberculosis for example. That fucking thing has probably killed more humans than anything else. We're talking >1 million deaths every year and that's a historic low. Just get a fucking grip on reality.

It stopped being a pandemic once it became endemic. Or do you argue that we're in a flu pandemic because it comes back every year? And sure, the vaccines did help a lot. But the virus that causes Covid also mutated into less severe strains. Just like with the flu, there can always be a more deadly mutation again. But right now the current strains and the fact that almost everybody had it and/or got vaccinated make Covid about as bad as the seasonal flu. And just like the flu it keeps being monitored, vaccines get updated and should it come back in force, we are much better equipped than in 2020.

Then you never had proper influenza. That shit took me out harder than Covid. It's a matter of luck and in the beginning Covid was more serious than most influenza strains. But they became more harmless. Which doesn't mean that you can't run out of luck and have a severe case of Covid. But over the entire population Covid is on a similar level as influenza.

Superglue sucks ass for vertical stress. If plastic like this breaks, it's best to replace the entire piece. Either buy a replacement or print a new one, if you are sufficiently equipped.

Just have your mother sit in the back.
