Thanks for answering. One more question, how about eating? Do you allow for some time before sleeping, as a rule?

How do you handle noise? Do you live in a house or apartment building?

Safari picture-in-picture is better integrated with macOS: it can be used with multiple virtual desktops, it can be pushed to the side, it both snaps to predefined positions and it can be moved wherever. Firefox is stuck to one virtual disp

I’ve had free space problems during the actual upgrade. Turned out it was because Time Machine created a bunch of snapshots and never deleted them. You can check by running: tmutil listlocalsnapshotdates You can also manually delete the sna

Heh. When I was 12, I had a Romanian Z80 based computer, that would run BASIC. Because I didn’t have a tape drive for it, I was writing entire programs and then write them down on paper, and “reload” them after the computer would reset, or

This is awesome. While listening to The History of Rome podcast, I went to Wikipedia to see whatever type of media there’s to see how the people looked like. For the old times, it’s of course statues, and sometimes only coins. For the late

At a glance, I can't spot anything by Ken MacLeod, nor Iain Banks. Both are masters of hard SF. I read most of Ken MacLeod's work, some several times (yes, I really enjoyed them that much), and I am reading Iain Bank's Cultur

I’m sorry to hear. I’m curious, have you had your blood oxygen level tested?

I had this problem with both left and right AirPods. I got a replacement, and a confirmation that it is a known issue. I currently live in Czechia, and there’re no official Apple stores here, but this hasn’t been a problem. I just had to wa

If you are interested in history, I can’t recommend enough Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History podcast. I’ve just listened recently to The Celtic Holocaust episode [0], which is pretty much Caeser vs the Celts, and I’m astonished of how well orga

I have used it many times over the years. Never abused it though. I only buy things that I plan to keep, and do my research prior to ordering. Nevertheless, I still had to use it occasionally. Currently I literally only buy electronics from

Based on your comment, you will likely enjoy "The Boat of a Million Years", by Poul Anderson [0]. Needless to say, it's science fiction. It's about a very small number of people who are immortal, in the sense they stop a

Thanks for sharing your experience. Note that I am not a doctor, but I have my own theories that I want to share: post-nasal drip results in more swallowing, which triggers more acid production, which in turn results in more of the stomach

Can you provide some data to support this? I’m genuinely interested.

Out of curiosity, what brand of mobile phone do you use?

Do you have some data or know where I can find something? I'm genuinely curious.

Healthcare workers are also overworked nearly everywhere, due to the pandemic, which means their immunity is possibly weakened too.

Can’t remember right now where I heard, it was in a podcast. Will return with the information if/when I find it. An epidemiologist said that there is correlation between the viral load and the severity of the resulting illness in studi

I think calling it selfishness is too simplistic. In my opinion, and this pandemic is a confirmation of sorts, people are just really bad at understanding dangers that are far away in physical distance or time. While Covid-19 was clearly a

Detection is delayed. Many of those people may have got infected prior to the quarantine, or from family members during the quarantine. But I agree, it’ll take more time to see how effective the measure is.

Apparently aspirin contributed to fatalities via aspirin poisoning, so it did not necessarily have a direct impact on the virus. Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu#Aspirin_poisoning

The virus spread _before_ the quarantine became serious enough. People just didn't take the quarantine seriously. I live in Czech Republic, and I read in the news that some 16.5k Czechs went on vacation to Northern Italy _after_ knowin

In my opinion, the quarantine just worked. Here's my thinking. We know the following (maybe my information is not entirely correct, but the reasoning is still valid): 1) a host is infectious for about 14d; 2) the virus survives on surf

As much as I appreciate the lengthy explanation, my concern was strictly related to the possibility that immunity gained by getting over the infection once, may be cancelled if/when the virus mutates (enough).
