A Lovely 10C Site!

@hazardwarning I thought I had a cold/cough problem. But it was pneumonia, which caused sepsis, which brought on low blood pressure, cold clammy skin, dizziness, difficulty to find a pulse and acute kidney failure.
Kidneys have recovered: treatment for sepsis was rapid IV fluids & antibiotics. this worked & blood pressure stabilised to normal levels.
I just skipped permanent kidney damage and possible death.
It really was that close, sepsis is a right bastard.

Take care, please. I didn’t & it could have cost me dearly.

@streakmachine piece or peace?
As in “I’ll give so-and-so a piece of my mind!”
or “relaxation will aid my peace of mind.”?

Sneaky indeed. Times Newer Roman is a sneaky font designed to make your essays look longer, the following link to The Verge contains a download link: https://www.theverge.com/2018/9/18/17875054/times-newer-roman-font-essay-length

Yes, I installed that font.

Unexpected phone call from the store where I bought the Samsung T5 ext SSD yesterday. Sales bloke said I was as owed a $41 refund because the item I’d bought was on sale at that lower price.
Refund collected.

In preparation for the arrival of Mojave & the death of my 32-bit apps, today I bought a 250 GB Samsung T5 ultra-portable SSD & cloned my MacBook Pro’s SSD to it. I then removed all the Setapp-related stuff from the new drive & reinstalled owned versions of the essential apps that were replaced by Setapp on the internal drive. Next I ran DiskWarrior to sort out and directory inconsistencies.
It’s such a tiny little thing, weighing in at 51 grams & is roughly 74 x 57 x 10 mm in size. It has a USB-C port & USB-C/USB-C plus USB-c/USB-3·0 (USB-A) connection cables.
It is apparently one of the fastest to read & write of all currently available small SSDs around.

@hybotics Nasty, I feel for you, I came out of hospital on Friday, having been afflicted with pneumonia, sepsis, low blood pressure and acute renal failure.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

@streakmachine I especially like they way you can drag & drop files directly onto the device’s icon in the right column and choose (if necessary) which app it’s to go with.

@sumudu That I doubt very much. The first gen iPad maxed out at iOS 5.1.1.
Perhaps you meant ist gen iPad Pro?

@matigo Even different iPhone models have different downloads.

Before medical intervention last week, sepsis had set in and acute renal failure which stemmed from low blood pressure was under way.
I managed to get the right treatment in time for a mostly full recovery.
Today my GP revealed he’d been unable to feel my pulse prior to calling for an ambulance, which arrived within three minutes.
He said the only reason my temperature was at normal levels was that my skin was cold & clammy. Later in hospital my temperature rose above 38˚C, which is Not Good.

I consider myself to be quite fortunate.
