@peemee You don’t want that lingering. I hope you get prompt treatment.
The route I took on my walk today turned out to be the worst of several options. It was like a Burmese, muddy jungle. I'm now tired and a bit dirty and I think some of the insects transferred from the bushes to my scalp judging by the itching.
The U.S.A. has been downgraded by Fitch from AAA to AA+. That's another stone off the crumbling wall.
@peemee I wish I could see my photos at 5K. My screen's native res is a bit less than 4K. It's amazing how many more pixels you get by jumping from 4K to 5K (8MP vs 14.5MP if I'm not mistaken). My MacBook Pro's screen is equivalent to 7MP.
“He did not see in the outcome of that war the least proof of the incorrectness of his theory. On the contrary, to his mind, the departures from his theory were the only cause of the whole failure…Pfuel was one of those theorists who so love their theory that they forget the purpose of the theory—its application in practice; in his love for theory, he hated everything practical and did not want to know about it. He was even glad of failure, because failure, proceeding from departures from theory in practice, only proved to him the correctness of his theory.”
- Leo Tolstoy [War and Peace, III.1.X]
Gaelic football is on T.V.. It’s obvious where Aussie rules football comes from, ball shape notwithstanding. At one point, a player headbutted another and the commentator said 'for those in Britain watching for the first time, yes it’s permitted'.
Quite happy with my phone service provider. I joined it two years ago with 2GB for £5. About a year later they upgraded it to 3GB for free. Now they’ve upgraded it to 5GB and still just £5 a month.
