Feeling a lot better now. The court case I was involved in is over, I was facing a charge of careless driving following an incident in January this year involving my next door neighbour and his 17-month-old daughter. She was uninjured but very distressed, actually went under the back of my car while I was slowly reversing.
I had a lot of trouble getting the recommended legal advice, eventually found a great barrister through a website. Essentially, I paid him to do all the worrying. The case was scheduled for 11am today, it was all over 20 minutes before that time.
No conviction was recorded, I had to make a small donation to a road trauma charity and am on a 6-month good behaviour order. That should not be too difficult, my driving record for the last 5 years is completely clear.
I was told I could expect some side effects of yesterday's COVID number 6 injection. One such problem encountered was upper arm pain late last night and today. What I didn't expect was to encounter similar pain in the other arm.
I was given a small pack (20) of Tapentadol painkillers when I left the rehab hospital 7.5 weeks ago. Until tonight I had used nine of them, 5 in the first 6 days. What's really neat about this medication is it's less addictive than Oxycondone while offering near-identical pain relief within 25 minutes of ingestion. I'm feeling a whole lot better now.
@matigo It's a precaution: I bought a pair of the originals, one died after two years and was replaced by a refurbished one because it was $150 cheaper. Then, a couple of months ago while I was in hospital the other original failed in the same way. The aforementioned replacement is still going strong but can't be made into a stereo pair with one of the new ones.
I have just added the two Apple Refurbished 2nd generation apple HomePods to AppleCare+, giving me two years of coverage on these devices. The complimentary 7 days of appleCare+ coverage expired yesterday, 16 days after their purchase and 15 days after their first use.
AppleCare+ for two HomePods plus the refurbished purchase price was still less than the new price of the two HomePods.
Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius died in 1744 aged 43 though his rival Fahrenheit was convinced he was 109.
@variablepulserate Substantial and with two separated sources of sound, they can replicate the surround sound effect much more faithfully. Each one has five tweeters around the base, a single 4" woofer and four sound-sampling microphones. They sense the shape of the room, making allowance for obstacles before emitting a well-structured soundscape.
More music that comes over the HomePods really well is Vangelis’ 1992 album which formed the soundtrack for Ridley Scott’s 1492: Conquest of Paradise movie.
