This is a common theme across all medications on occasion. Maintaining a global supply chain is tricky. I’ve never seen a shortage of sertraline before, but it wouldn’t surprise me. They’re usually short-term, but you may want to talk to your doctor about an alternative to bridge the gap.

I feel like making that comment earlier broke my run of bad luck and I “completed” the game. (There’s obviously a tonne of additional puzzles to work out, but I think I might take a break from this for now!)

What have you been playing?

Blue Prince! I’ve been trucking away with this for a while because it’s very possible to play using the controller while holding a baby - no quick reflexes required! I’ve hit a bit of a wall with progress in it though and have reached a point where it feels more like luck than skill/puzzle-solving is needed to tackle my current objective.

So many hours sunk into this game…

The auto-complete in VSCode is one of the few AI use cases that I actually find useful. Passing a whole bunch of args in a python class function call to set instance variables just becomes that little bit less tedious. Lots of little things like that add up to nice time savings.

The “ask copilot” features are absolutely terrible though.

Don’t forget 🇮🇪 🇨🇮

Ctrl+Shift+ESC opens the Task Manager directly. It saves you whole seconds!

Edit: task manager obviously, not team manager.

“Here are your tablets and here is a box to piss into for the next week while you’re on antibiotics.”

I’m not disagreeing with your point as such, but implementing an entirely separate sewage system is probably impossible and the alternative is kinda gross.

As I said in another comment, the real solution is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic usage.

All medications should be disposed of separately to other waste. I’m not sure how it’s handled worldwide, but my country allows disposal in community pharmacies.

Many antibiotics (e.g. pretty much all penicillins) don’t get broken down significantly on passing through the body, so a major source of contamination is coming from human waste and inducing bacterial resistance in the bacteria in the wastewater system.

The real solution here is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic usage.

Thanks for the link! Now I’ll never miss one of these very well put together posts!

How do you access an RSS feed of a user’s posts? I’d love to do this.

No. See the recent example of Meta blocking Careless People from being publicised and the book’s subsequent position on the bestseller list for reference.

Right up there with you! This sounds great.

Unlike the others here, I would argue that this is supposed to be this way - it’s a mind bending puzzle after all.

It’s like he doesn’t know what to do with his face in order to smile - “Let all the muscles go completely loose? No, that didn’t work - constrict everything! Hmm, perhaps I just need to tense my teeth and let everything hang loose while opening my eyes reeeeeally wide…”

Stranger still to make the headline about one small paragraph in the middle of the piece that was clearly an aside.

The sequels expand on the premise in pretty interesting ways too.

You should read Semiosis, a sci-fi book about a planet with a lot of bamboo.

C’mon Matrim - EXPLODE!

Great post. The personal touch reminded me of the articles on Rock Paper Shotgun.
