"It's not whooping cough. Sure, you have all the symptoms of whooping cough and live in an area with an active whooping cough outbreak, doesn't matter, I don't think it's whooping cough."

multiple visits later in a single week as symptoms worsen

"Fine, here's a prescription for amoxicillin, you hypochondriac, but I don't think it will do anything for you."

whooping cough clears up completely

I do trust medical science but that experience was easily the worst of my adult life. Whooping cough is no joke, folks.

The weirdest thing about watching old sitcoms that one last saw as a kid is seeing all these characters we used to regard as "old people" looking so young.

I shave the parts of my chest within 10cm of my nipples, so that suction toys stay on properly.

I feel that way every time I start vscode. A fast, high quality, open-source, cross-platform IDE - on Electron of all things - made by Microsoft? It's so weird.

Also, Star Trek as entertainment is canon within the Star Trek universe, confirmed in the "Enterprise" TV finale.

Fuck Missouri. (hexbear.net)
 

So I just started a new job that has a lot of positives. Less stress, better wages, and some other tangibles and intangibles that put a smile on my face.

But it involves keeping up to date on sales tax rates in several American states which I've never done before.

One of those states is Missouri.

God damn it Missouri, why can you people not figure out a single goddamn statewide sales tax rate like sane people? What is this motherfucking fuckness?! I have to keep track of one hundred and sixty goddamn sales tax jurisdictions that are often separated within municipal boundaries? Fuck.

Her name (depending on translation interpretation) might well literally mean "cannabis woman".

Like they honestly feared nuclear annihilation, and had good reason to

This point cannot be overstated. Russia has been an invasion target by European powers for a millenium. And the USSR suddenly found themselves in a new antagonistic relationship with a country that (a) was the global power in terms of industrial capacity and science R&D, (b) had just integrated a whole lot of nazi scientists into their military-industrial complex via Operation Paperclip, and (c) had actually used nuclear weapons in combat. They'd have been insane not to try to develop nuclear weapons as a deterrent.

Frankly I don't blame any country for trying to develop nuclear-armed ICBMs nowadays. It's literally the only thing that's been proven to make the US government think twice about invasion plans.

Lexx re-watch continues! Now on S2E9. There's a woman imprisoned in something that looks like an oversized egg from "Alien", with just her head poking out the top. Her face and hair are slathered in viscous white fluids. Lexx's writers were freaks, but my kind of freaks.

So I had a nice and new but boring hat. (imgur.com)
 

I decided to have a new and not boring hat. And do to it my way - 5 strands to match the colours and ratio of bi-flag colours, with the 6 rainbow pride colours as beads. I applied some clear heat shrink tubing that I normally use for wire management in electronics projects, rather than end up with giant knots.

The next version with have a tighter braid, and colours to match the progress pride flag. My apologies for the oversight on this first version, trans and enby and ace friends! I love you all!

An open request to those who post official trailers about games announced at a single event (hexbear.net)
 

Rather than making dozens of posts which can fill up the "local" news tab and makes the "local" option effectively unusable for those who don't otherwise subscribe to /c/games, I'd like to make a request that they make a single megathread-style post with the multiple links in that post.

Recommendation for an Android-based TV streaming box? (hexbear.net)
 

What would you recommend for an Android-based TV streaming box? I'm looking for a few features:

  • HDMI out (but I think it's a fair bet that they all do).

  • Isn't locked in to some oddball proprietary app store, but is standard Android that allows for easy sideloading of APK app files.

  • Can use a large-capacity external USB drive for storage, say several TB.

  • Has the CPU power to decode a bunch of older video formats in addition to the hardware-decoded modern ones.

  • Is a current model that's likely to get updates for a few years or so.

  • Is priced somewhere near or below $100CAD.

  • Has reliable wifi and bluetooth.

Who topped: Brad Majors, or Dr. Frank-n-Furter? (hexbear.net)
 

This question has just come up among some friends. We're divided on the who and why. I think Brad topped, but I'm open to alternative theories.
