whee popped hot this morning. started feeling slightly sick tuesday (mild sore throat) which turned into slightly more so wednesday (add in a mild cough!). rapid tests tuesday and thursday where negative. dropped off a PCR test i'm still waiting for. took another rapid this morning which was a big thick positive (that line was there in the time it took me to use the rest room after prepping the test). still nothing worse than a mild sore throat and cough, which is good. working on getting some paxlovid. had three shots, last was in october. i'm more upset we had to cancel our bbq this weekend. at least it means i can eat brisket and pork tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow wife is showing negative, because of course.

Enjoy your Covid three times a year for the rest of your life, because public health isn’t real.

make sure not to stress yourself, don't drink alcohol, etc. etc. treatments at this stage are much better than they were two years ago

Relying solely on vaccination to control this disease is like just steering the Titanic into every iceberg you can find because you've got internal bulkheads,, so what's the big deal

MononcQc posted:a lot of the ergonomics thread papers I post also come from Human-Computer-Interactions, Cognitive Systems Engineering, and Resilience Engineering, and not necessarily pure ergonomics because that just happens to be the sort of stuff I have at hand for the angle I like to dig into. They tend to come from life-critical areas with high expertise and high pressure situations, which isn't necessarily the same as browsing amazon to buy a USB cable (I'm not saying this pejoratively, just that the stakes are higher and weirder in the life-critical fields). I wish I had the professional time to research and find all the stuff you do, it's always great and very useful due to the high-pressure aspect of it

i keep thinking about how in "normal" times little changes in percentages of things would make the news and spawn dozens of long winded thinkpieces on what that meant and what we could do to improve. life expectancy increased by 0.1 years? great! that means we must be doing this one specific healthcare thing right. energy costs went up by 0.3%? well gosh it's because of all that climate change talk by the democrats. but now everything is swinging wildly, life expectancy dropped by like 3 years lmao. disposable income dropped by more than it ever has since they started measuring it. energy costs have exploded to higher than even the oil embargo in the 1970s. but like, everything's fine. we just have to keep on acting normal and don't need to do any big changes. we just aren't thinking positively enough. vote

I don't drive hardly at all, but even I was shocked when 85 octane was four bucks a gallon plus the other night when I had to put some in the truck. Last time I put gas in that poo poo was 2.69. I am blessed by a lifestyle that is largely petrol-as-a-fun-luxury, but i remember the late 2010s when poo poo got up to these prices and I had to do 40 miles a day and my main car was broken down so I had to drive my 7mpg old truck to and from work. I wasn't even really making any money after the gas costs.

It took like 15 minutes just to pump the gas in and i always had to go in to the gas station to pre-pay because the pumps usually capped at $100 "yeah lemme get $200 on pump 3" "what" "no for real"

yeah, the last time gas was this high i was making 20k/year and driving this beater explorer to and from work and no where else going into canada for work a lot and the federal mileage reimbursement of fifty six cents is definitely not cutting it there

we're very good about following our food and fun budget and we did a 25pp increase then another 25, and this was just doing our regular 1x week take out and regular grocery shopping. So an extra 100/m

ive been extremely bad about grubhubbing but with the new job i'm being thrown so much cash that i am going to go back into rice and veg mode and see how much i can save per month, because I want to buy my grandparents' house from its current owners cash so that I have a great lakes hideout. (it last sold in 2018 for 38k, real estate doesnt have the bubble up there. im sure i can get it for <50)
