It's not the shot itself, it's the injection/getting stabbed. I think I fainted four or five times in my life due to injections/blood draws. I have to lay down look away and control my breathing otherwise I'm gone.

I was able to get the first five exactly with a bit of luck and think with a bit of thinking it should be possible to always land near 1% or 2%. But is there a good way to cut the cup, bird or map one without calculating it? I got lucky and

Also, Sky has horrible software/infra. If you buy it thinking you can stream their stuff, you are in for a bad time. I never had a live event without a stream connection loss or extreme quality drop, worse then youtube 360p. Oh and whe

Except, in my experience, they don't have more features. Has Slack fundamentally changed in the last years, or Zoom, Teams etc? Why haven't these apps been optimized by now? Same for web apps, why is Facebook, Gmail slow? I could
