I'm still recovering from my thyroidectomy from last week. Painwise I'm good, but I'm still hoarse from the intubation. I'm also experiencing some of the symptoms of an underfunctioning thyroid: feeling extra cold, low energy, dry skin and a loss of appetite.

Hätte ich nicht gedacht, dass es 997 Müngers gibt. Und am meisten im eingetragenen Heimatort (Wohlen b. Bern).

FYI, googled something and Google now shows completly wrong AI slop in their picture search. Dreamstime seems to be the source. Really hate Enshittification.

We live in the stupidest timeline. I went to my thyroid specialist today, who is located in a hospital. I got asked about my mask & was told it was good that I was protecting myself, but the KN95 was "too much" & I should wear a surgical instead 🤦‍♀️.

My wife is in Vogue shitting on your AI-generated "art" 💜 www.vogue.com/article/matt...

Well, everything. The death of art. [Laughs.] A thing that I’ve been struck by in the last year of tech development around art is that what makes us human is making art, even if you’re not a professional artist. This is kind of corny, but I think about cavemen, right? One of the first things we ever did as a species was put our handprints on a wall, and it’s just this drive that has always been there. It’ll always be there. And I think it’s preposterous that these people are suggesting that they develop this technology, and the first thing they want to eliminate is art, so you have more time to…what, email? I don’t know what they think I’m going to do with my fucking day. Most of the population is not artists, but a lot of the population has artistic hobbies, and if you replace that with a computer doing it for you or whatever, it’s just pointless. I think there’s a death drive in these people, almost, and an actual hatred of artists; they are jealous of people with imagination because they don’t have one, and they almost consciously want to eliminate it.

"Guten Tag, ich bin interessiert an Ihrer Religion."

Das Bild zeigt den Eingang zu einem Geschäft mit dem Namen „Cheese Cathedral“. Über den Glastüren befindet sich ein großes schwarzes Schild mit weißer und gelber Aufschrift: „CHEESE“ in Weiß und „CATHEDRAL“ in Gelb. Im Inneren des Geschäfts sind zahlreiche Käsesorten in Regalen und Vitrinen zu sehen. Rechts und links der Eingangstür hängen Informationsplakate. Vor dem Eingang steht ein gelbes Warnschild für einen nassen Boden. Die Decke des Gebäudes besteht aus offenen, industriellen Deckenstrukturen mit sichtbaren Rohren und Beleuchtung. Im Vordergrund links sind Flaschen mit Getränken oder Soßen zu erkennen.

It's hot. On one side of the apartment they are redoing the pavement directly in front of my building and on the other side my neighbours are playing music and smoking directly beneath my window. I can't win (or open any windows).

Ich habe mich im Dez. bei der SUSO Apotheke in Konstanz mit Novovax impfen lassen, da könntest du anfragen.
