Over on twitter I am seeing how long it takes the mods—if there are any left—to hit on me for hurting Elon Musk's feelings by renaming myself.
Currently I'm up to "Elon Musk swives goats" (having skipped "fuck" because that's low-hanging fruit for bluenose bots), having started with "Elon Musk sucks goats" and, well, you get the picture.
Am thinking of ramping up to "Elon Musk swives goat clunge" tomorrow morning.
Any suggestions for where to go next?
Further reading (thanks, @graydon@mastodon.social, for the tip) suggests that yes, Omicron cases where the main symptoms are gastrointestinal are indeed a thing, that nose/throat swabs mostly don't show anything (you need stool sampling to discover the virus), and it does indeed match what I've been experiencing. In turn, best prognosis is a change in diet is in order, at least in the short term. Which is good to know. Lots of live low fat yoghurt seemed to help, but I've run out: next on the agenda is trying porridge (which I keep forgetting I like).
@jackwilliambell@rustedneuron.com Unsure how much I'll be around, not interested in running my own server (yet)
@owenblacker@mastodon.lol It's summer; porridge really isn't a summer thing!
@flippac@types.pl @feorag@mastodon.social Flat's way too big for that, but we do have an (old, noisy) HEPA filter in Feorag's room that we really ought to be using.
@Uilebheist@mastodon.uno @feorag@mastodon.social That seems like an excellent idea! I just wish I felt well enough to drink. (I've had gut rot of doom for the past week, and it's getting old. The thought of alcohol is nearly enough to give me the dry heaves, otherwise I'd be joining you in that bottle …)
@anthracite@dragon.style How bad will you feel if you get it?
@randulo@mastodon.social I have no idea what that is.
