Omg me & my spouse are very bad people😁& we’re SO going to hell for laughing as hard as we did, but this is why I’m super grateful for zeroes.ca #information
Was telling him this wedding story & he had this very odd look on his face when I linked vomiting as a Covid symptom which I had heard about but not seen an example of
bit of back story.. his work a few months ago instated a forced “friendly” bi-monthly 1 in 1 phone chats w/managers b/c 1 person complained about not getting enough attention & now it’s company wide policy🙄
he absolutely dreads these things, 1 b/c he’s a massive introvert but also b/c his manager is not only Covid minimizing, (traveling on cruises, India,Thailand etc) she’s annoying & arrogant too who basically called him a doomer awhile back, which he is not. That would be moi!
Anyways, just today she was complaining about vomiting which is why she took a day off last Friday & thought it was food poisoning but couldn’t find a culprit. Also she was vomiting up nothing.
He didn’t think it sounded right, but to be “nice” he assured her w/what she wanted to hear, it was probs #stress#fatigue#etc but to find out it’s actually #sars2 was frankly a complete surprise to him
This is priceless info b/c unlike me, he’s not serially obsessed with Covid & half the time thinks I’m being hyperbolic but to have proof & proof😁😇
In all seriousness, it wasn’t very nice to laugh, but .. 🤷🏻♀️#kismet
Isn’t it a trip to think that everything we have online today, with the exception of real-time full-screen audio and video (streaming or otherwise), we could have had in 1998?
@eschaton While I am with you in the "conceptually a TI-83 calculator does mostly the same as your latest and greatest mobile phone" sense, computers from the 90's and 2000's are practically under equipped for many day to day tasks, including loading your favorite word processor or even to compile a mid sized C++ project using templates. Compiling #kismet on a machine with 256MB RAM already failed in 2001, at least 512MB RAM were required.
