It's not just Covid - we're in the middle of a nasty flu epidemic as well! Are people determined to have a week or two of feeling sick and miserable over Christmas?*
* okay, I appreciate that the prospect of spending days with screaming kids & drunken relatives can do that, even without a virus

Obviously "Have you switched it off and on again" has been tried
Have you tried "wiggle everything about a bit?"
I had an odd problem on a desktop I built. Boot up, fails with various beeps. Immediately press on/off button again & hold it in, worked on 2nd attempt. Carried on like that for years!

Old story
John Wayne, playing the role of the centurion at the cross in The Greatest Story Ever Told, delivers the line "Truly, this was the Son of God," only to be told by director George Stevens, "Say it with awe, John!" He responds, "Awww, truly this was the son of God!".

My Tadcu, Taliesin Mordecai (the one in the middle). He was an instructor at the Central Flying School 1917-18. I assume this was a landing by a pupil (but probably not the future George VI, who he is believed to have taught)

Last year when I had 17 days in the cardiac unit was my first experience in nigh on 70 years. Much better than I was expecting. Amazingly kind, professional and considerate staff, ace treatment. The food though... 5/10

Is it in Finland where they're tried the radical experiment of giving homeless people a home? Seems to work. They then get jobs etc.
And giving young people a Basic Income seems to work as well. They get homes, jobs, lives...

Thankfully I'm unlikely to hear it. I've instructed "Santa's Sentimental Serfs" (the current resident 'popular beat combo' in ÞNCB) to strictly stick to Hildegard's Hip-hop hits for the rest of the month. Also I stick a couple of small radishes in my ears until the New Year begins.
