Better Call Saul is my favorite current TV show. I have watched each episode multiple times. And I have no recollection of ever seeing that guy.

Are they worse on this than the EU baseline? I would expect so, but I only follow Anglophone press, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The American right is a nightmare, but frankly stuff like that scares me way more than anything they do. GOD BLESS AMERICA

Good lord.

Find out when I talk to the hematologist later in the month. Otherwise just a little leg pain and a small cough every now and then as another clot breaks free. Great, eh.

That’s scary man. The only benefit is you caught this in time before it was something else.

I thought about you today for a related reason.

I was coughing and breathed heavily yesterday and put it down to some allergy I don’t know I have or whatever. Even my housemate said it to me. Only today I realised I was sanding wood all day and that’s why. I don’t have a mask and I only use relatively small pieces so how could they be any trouble.

Eh. Yeah. They can be. I couldn’t barely breathe last night.

Anyways keep us posted. Hope you’re in the mend soon!

[bune]

Heh. Reminds me of the time a few months ago when I was stripping a bike frame sans mask or goggles. It's biodegradable so it's fine, right?

It's 100 years today since Kaiser Wilhelm abdicated, the last emperor of Germany. On Sunday, at 11.11 am Central European Time, it will be 100 years since the end of World War 1.

Plenty of news stories about it, that are not worthy of a thread:

Peter Jackson’s WWI film is on tv on Sunday. It’s brilliant by all accounts. He restored tons of footage of the troops and their own voices playing over it. It’s very emotional apparently.
