@skematica No reflux episodes for the last two days, Headache still lingers, though. Weather is OK, wind & rain eased off, unlikely to have any days over 16°C for the rest of the week.
@skematica Reminds me of when a certain wordsmith on Twitter & myself combined our talents to come up with an unlikely cocktail almost guaranteed to kill off any nasty bug. I give you the gin'n'lemsip. AKA the ginnslip. I defy any bug to survive exposure to that.

@hazardwarning It has been established that Australian kids who grow up on dairy farms and are exposed to cow manure & hay are most unlikely to develop asthma.

@thedan84 You could consider the Opera web browser if it's downloads you're trying to get: it comes with a built-in proxy-based VPN. As long as you work within the confines of the web browser, you can get the benefits of a free & unlimited VPN. Available in Mac, Windoze & Linux flavours.
@skematicaDon't even think about defragging. This extract from http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac/how-defrag-speed-up-mac-os-x-2016-3600241/ explains why.
DO NOT defrag a Mac's SSD.
If you're using a newer Mac that comes with an SSD (Solid State Drive), there's no point in wasting your time defragging as they already have a built in maintenance process called TRIM. In fact, it's actually dangerous to attempt to defrag a SSD, which can reduce its lifespan.
In any case, SSDs operate in a different way to a traditional HDD, allowing quicker access with fewer issues making them the preferred option for modern systems.
@c An Irishman was once asked by a tourist who'd observed the "pace" of life in Ireland if they had a concept like mañana.
He replied, "We do have something similar, but ours lacks the same degree of urgency."

@kdfrawg The US Navy Communications Base Harold E Holt on Northwest Cape in Western Australia iis a VLF transmission station for US & Australian Navy submarines & ships. They transmit on 19.8 Hz so they can't use fluorescent lighting. If installed it would spontaneously start up when transmitting.

If I were to walk 500 miles and walk 500 more I'd be the man to die from cardiac arrest right at your door.
Yes, kitteh, it's nice to see you. Now bugger of and dry yourself somewhere other than on me. Wet cat fur has a certain unpleasant pong to it.
