  There's a camera app for that. (It probably comes with one of those annoying vintage filters, however.)

Standing is the bar we set for healthy now.

  To be fair, if someone was in truly poor health or undergoing radical chemotherapy, standing at length would likely be either incredibly difficult or impossible. So sure, it's not fool proof, but its also not a bad indication that reports of his impending demise are exaggerated.

    When my dad eventually succumbed to cancer (technically kidney failure), it wasn't until the last couple of weeks or so that he had energy and weakness issues. Even a month before, he was still out and about. With chemo, he was only weak for the day of, and fine the next day. I wouldn't say Job's apparent health can give any clues as to his health, aside from the fact he has at least another month left.

  Not only that, but Scoble is the bar Scoble sets for healthy. Slightly less germane, but about 6% funnier.

  Some days after having my butt in a chair for a marathon coding session, I'm happy to find that I can still stand :)

    Convore needs a room for that. Stereotypical programmer has been sitting on his butt for five hours straight. To go with: https://convore.com/early-bird-codes-before-8am/ https://convore.com/early-bird-codes-before-8am/

      Is that a feature or a bug that texts from downvoted posts are greyed down to unreadable but not the hyperlinks?
