His signature that looks like a death-metal band logo?

I have nasty cough for weeks after cold itself passes. The throat is irritated by cough, which leads to more cough. Sometimes can’t sleep because of this, and usually have to get codeine pills to stop the cycle.

Oddly, this has become a problem only in recent years — possibly because when I’m among people or occupied by physical work, I’m paying little attention to the irritation, but I’m working from home all day lately, so no such diversions anymore.

The best way to eat banana is as dry chips, sprinkled with Indian spices. Raw bananas are trash compared to that, though I do tolerate them as quick snacks.

Try kefir, it’s magical for upset stomach.

One doctor informed me that I have a chronic inflammation of the throat, which half of our large northern city also have, and best I can do is protect the throat from cold air by breathing through the nose.

I’m also rather non-muscular, particularly in regard to the neck, and thus get cold easily in the parts that aren’t layered with fat. Namely, if I have the window cracked open for fresh air in the autumn or spring while I sleep, the throat gets sore and I can develop a full-blown cold.

I’ve also been drinking lots of cold beverages this summer, and now I really seem to have a nasty inflammation in the throat, that leads to annoying irritation and cough. This is while I’m asocial, stay inside a lot and have little contact with people.

In theory laptops and assembled PCs should lag behind the parts market, so there might still be time.

I mean, memory manufacturers are like shovel sellers in a gold rush. They should be fine and dandy.

I’d try seeing if the second-hand market is still behind on the pricing.

In my experience, YouTube without history is the garbage. It looks like cheap Jerry Springer-style tv that apparently people in my country watch.

I taught YouTube for years what I watch, and thankfully recommendations mostly reflect that. I even open links from social media in incognito tabs to avoid polluting the recommendations. Although I’d still watch maybe one out of ten of them.

Stories like that circulated on Reddit before AI. The latest one was about a lion or a tiger being friends with the goat brought for them to eat. Iirc the animals had to be separated after a while, because they started squabbling.

Recommendations are actually great if you skim through them on a video you liked and save promising videos to ‘watch later’. Personally I have a dozen ‘watch later’ playlists by topic, with dozens videos in each — so I could live off these playlists for a year.

Fun fact: ‘The Harder They Come’ was (most probably) the first English-language film shown in the US with subtitles, due to the thick patois used in it.

So how did that work, did every fuel company have a patent for lead additives? Then this means the patents didn’t stop any one of them from having these additives, which is the supposed function of patents.

And if any one of them got the exclusive patent, the others could just use ethanol, which didn’t happen.

Well, the game uses portable bytecode for the ‘Z-machine’ interpreter, and there are dozens of third-party interpreters for it. You can run these games on your phone, no need to compile them.

Most albums by Mamaleek. They change up the sound on each record, and still stay unlike anyone else. Check out ‘Diner Coffee’ and ‘Vida Blue’.

Lovage is actually quite similar to instrumental hiphop/breaks that was released on Ninja Tune in the nineties. DJ Food, The Cinematic Orchestra, Wagon Christ, Coldcut, that kind of stuff.

Not to be mistaken with ‘The Beach Sounds’ by Pet Shop Boys.

‘Rockit’ was pretty much entirely made by the production team of Bill Laswell and Michael Beinhorn, from the band Material, with GrandMixer DXT and three other dudes doing the scratching. Hancock basically came in at the end to play some synth lines.

Kinda sounds like businessfunk that would play during classified ads on tv in the nineties.

TBF that’s the more incongruous part of the garb, by today’s standards. Regular ties look better, even if the whole thing feels like a wet dream of the Aryan Brotherhood:
