A Lovely 10C Site!

Visited doc 12 hours ago. Put me on a "Ladder of Pain" drug regime.
The first rung is paracetamol - up to 4000 mg daily.
The second is NSAID meds - two strong ones daily with food.
The third rung of the ladder is Tapentadol, a synthetic opioid, I'm allowed up to three per day unless I plan on a long driving stint like tomorrow. One side effect is drowsiness although it is less of a problem when compared to other opioids.

The idea is to come down the ladder slowly. Drop back to 1 or 2 Tapentadol then none as the pain level eases.
The same process applies to the strong NSAIDs.
I'll stay at the bottom rung as I use 4 to 6 x 665 mg tablets of slow-release paracetamol daily for my osteoarthritis control.
Starting to feel a bit drowsy now from the opioid drug, it's almost midnight now.

@tewha I use Chrome & Epichrome to make Cappuccino into a site-specific browser. That way I can pretend it's an app.

Seeing the doc in about 50 minutes about the sore back that's not improving very much.

@sumudu Rather. I'm glad I was able to get it when it was cheap.

@sumudu The app I use for the file transfer is Commander One Pro. Go to https://fnd.io/#/ae/mac-app/1035237815-commander-one-pro-ftpclient-rar-7zip-ext for more info. Connection is via USB cable.

@sumudu General light usage/hobby. It's narrow enough to fit into a trouser pocket so it's quite portable. Plus the display is significantly bigger than that of the iPhone SE.

TIL that Commander One Pro app can be used to mount an Android phone or tablet to a Mac for file transfer purposes. That app retails for US $30, I picked it up in a special promotion in Dec 2015 for US $2.

When used with my Lenovo Tab 7 Essential, it shows the micro SD card that's mounted in the external slot. This is a 16 GB card, it can take a 128 GB card if needed.

Q: How do you turn a duck into a soul singer?

A: Microwave it until its Bill Whithers.

@matigo Back in the late 1960s, the local Catholic priest, an Irish immigrant, congratulated himself on having driven through a few snow flurries to get to a hall in a sawmilling town that was used for church services.
And then. lurching out of the gloom appeared an apoarition. It was Mrs Rankin, driving the family "car" (really a truck with a van body on it) with seven of her nine kids on board and at least a foot of snow on the roof. She'd driven over unsealed roads for the better part of an hour to get there.
The Rankins worked a farm in a very isolated area.

I feel like I've been ripped off! (Not really). Yesterday I paid $97 for a Lenovo 7-inch widescreen Android tablet. Today I spotted exactly the same one in anotherstore for $96. A few days ago I spent too much time trying to get a 5-year-old Bauhn (ALDI) 9.7-in Android tablet going.

It was an unpleasant experience, quite frrankly. Apps either didn't work properly or failed altogether. The thing had never had an OS update, was stuck on an early iteration of Jelly Bean. This new one came with Android 7 (Nougat) ready to go.

Yes, it's a cheap unit. There's plenty of bigger, faster tablets out there. It lacks a cellular option. The screen resolution is very ordinary, 1024 x 600. But I've had my eyes fixed, so that's less of an issue.

This thing is perfectly fine for casual use, I have something like 108 apps on it. I've fished out the folding Bluetooth keyboard i bought around easter last year, works well with it.
