@hazardwarning Yes.
Stolen tweet. "Took the batteries out of the carbon monoxide alarm because the loud beeping was giving me a headache and making me feel sick and dizzy."
Good one, Donnie. You thick idiot.
President Trump declared protests against Tesla sites & vehicles that cause damage to be terrorism. Most insurance companies don't cover acts of terrorism. So now cars damaged in or by protests are no longer covered, where as previously they were.
I was experiencing connectivity problems with my 7-year-old Canon multifunction inkjet printer. Did a bit of research and have replaced it with another Canon one with similar features but a few extras as well. The new one does duplex printing, nice to have and uses six ink colours: photo black, black, cyan, magenta, yellow and exclusive to a limited number of Canon printers, photo blue. I’ll not set it up for a while until I determine which room is the best for it.
As I get older, I don't really sleep anymore. It's more of a doze between pee breaks.
With that hospital stay, it was unclear if I'd be discharged on the Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. If it was to be Friday, the husband of the nice Scottish lady in the next bed offered to go 40km out of his way and take me back to my car at the GP's clinic. I asked "What if they don't let me out until Saturday?"
He replied "The offer still stands. Either way, I'll be driving you back."
I was amazed and gratified by his generosity. I was discharged at the same time as his wife on the Friday.
Post-sepsis syndrome describes physical and/or long-term effects that affects up to 50% of people who survive sepsis.
Longer term effects of sepsis include:
1: Sleep disturbance including insomnia.2: Experiencing nightmares, hallucinations, flashbacks and panic attacks.3: Muscle and joint pains which can be severe and disabling.4: Extreme tiredness and fatigue.5: Inability to concentrate.6: Impaired mental (cognitive) functioning.7: Loss of confidence and self-belief.
In September of 2018 I was admitted to the ICU of a major metropolitan hospital and treated for severe sepsis, I was experiencing the early stages of organ failure with loss of kidney function. Severe sepsis is fatal in 20 to 40% of cases.
I'd visited my GP feeling rotten and light-headed. When he failed to detect any blood pressure, he called an ambulance which arrived within three minutes and I travelled 12km in that ambulance with my feet elevated and my head as low as possible. I went through triage and advanced to the head of the queue, going into the ICU almost immediately where I was given IV fluids and antibiotics. 12 hours later I was transferred to a bigger place for the next three nights and allowed home three days later.
I suffer from items 1, 3, 4 and 7 on that list with insomnia being the main issue. Maybe item 6 as well but if so affected I would have no knowledge.
Re insomnia: I'm typing this at 3:20 am because I can't get to sleep.
I bought a nice piece of rump steak on Friday and cooked it in the air fryer tonight. I used the Air Crisping setting (it has 10 other modes including grilling, steaming snd pressure cooking) at 180°C for 8 minutes per side. I let it rest for ten minutes before slicing about a third of it off for dinner. So there’s still enough for two more feeds.
I believe that the people who "designed" disposable/biodegradable cutlery never had to use the horrid objects.
