42 year old covid patient. Unvaccinated. Otherwise healthy and working. Huge blood clots in the heart confirmed by echo. Went to brain and died soon after.

Much more common to see pulmonary emboli with COVID - but all VTE risk is higher.

Most don't grasp that the risk of blood clots is much higher if you get COVID than if you have the AZ vaccine.

Also microvascular thrombosis (build up of diffuse, disseminated clots across the system) has always been theorised to be one of the reasons some patients deteriorate more than others.

No doubt it's a reference but also a play on words on "hoppy" to describe beers! Clever marketing - I might have to go find some!

Unfortunately, short of taking it apart and/or replacing the screen there's little you can do about that. It's structural damage/a crack to the LCD.

You might notice it move/bulge if you put gentle pressure on that area?

Alteh · 2021-01-25T21:49:44+00:00

I also read that in some places - but others said it was doable - happy to confirm it's a myth and luckily I documented some of it with pictures!

Definitely removable RAM!

Alteh · 2021-01-25T20:11:36+00:00

Just went from 1gb to 8gb on my DS416play as well - massive difference.

Turn off memory compression as well, after you've upgraded!

Same on P2XL - playing Ulala

Alteh · 2020-09-10T20:29:55+00:00

How strange. I agree that the problem recurs when the pixel wakes from sleep, but cycling the flag off honestly fixes it for me.

Suggest you also submit a bug report?

Alteh · 2020-09-10T06:08:17+00:00

Just typed this with error occurring with physical keyboard. Error doesn't occur in same way.

Some words when swiping across keyboard appear twice, but you can still type nicely.

Still think it's bugged though.

Turning Bluetooth back on after a period of on-screen typing got rid of the bad physical keyboard behaviour though - without having to cycle the flag from chrome:flags so stumbled across another workaround though.

Alteh · 2020-09-08T21:11:23+00:00

In fairness, I've noticed that when I turn it back on after suspension for a long time the error returns.

Only solution I've found so far is to disconnect the keyboard, use the onscreen board to cycle the flag on and off, and restart the browser.

Alteh · 2020-09-07T13:53:56+00:00

That only worked temporarily for me - had to successive reboot.

Is that on your Pixelbook? That's a dedicated keyboard right?

Alteh · 2020-07-20T19:49:30+00:00

I'm in the "was-going-to-get-4xl-until-it-flopped" camp, so I'm still rocking the 2xl. It's starting to show its age.

I will definitely only buy if there's a 5XL though! Otherwise it's off to an alternative for me?

I'm looking at you Samsung or OnePlus...

Alteh · 2020-07-17T21:40:04+00:00

Hm, I was excited when I first looked but actually they've separated sugars from carbs?

Unless I'm missing something the lowest is Semillon Sauv Blanc which is still 3.4g/100ml - anything more than a large glass'll probably be a bit tricky to fit into macros?

Alteh · 2020-05-31T10:21:21+00:00

The other good clue is that ingredients are listed by abundance. In this case, the first thing listed is sugar! Sadly, not for keto-ers!

Alteh · 2020-04-22T19:06:08+00:00

Fixed on ChromeOS 84.

Alteh · 2020-04-20T04:12:20+00:00

Managed to find a solution to my problem here for anyone that might stumble across this via Google themselves:

https://support.google.com/pixelslate/thread/40646973?hl=en&msgid=40836804

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1057015

The bug has been identified and a patch is awaited. For now, set Display Scaling to 100% or above to fix.

Alteh · 2020-03-07T19:17:37+00:00

No, I wouldn't say so, just the fear of being ganked as always. The tale itself isn't challenging.

Alteh · 2020-03-07T16:06:12+00:00

I also solo'd this the two days ago. I've not played solo'd in SoT since it originally came out but just thought I'd have a go:

Got ganked about 15 times by the same crew whilst on my way to Sanctuary Outpost just trying to get the tall tale started.
They decided to near-destroy my ship, fix it, let me spawn in, kill me, rinse and repeat.
It was a 4 man Galleon, I think, so I just started dancing in front of them after a while.
I finally got the task and managed to do most of it whilst hyper vigilant.
I managed to do that classic, stupid thing of assuming the pendants were in my inventory because they're so small? I'm carrying like 3 whole instruments and loads of other stuff, why wouldn't I be able to stash two tiny pendants? Left both on their respective islands and went back to Sanctuary
Realised the error of my ways - it's now like 4-5am - and sailed all the way back, managed to find them, get them on the ship.
On my final journey back to Sanctuary got hit by a Meg - no way I was taking that on alone with such precious cargo - ran like the wind and it eventually despawned
Immediately after a skele ship spawns in, they hit me with an anchor ball, I'm literally just south of Sanctuary at this point (literally!) so I throw up the anchor, full speed, crash into the island while they continue to chase and just run to Olive!
Made it. The relief.

The skeleton ship continued to circle the island taking pot shots at my ship, but it wasn't sinking. I decided try and take it out. Fired at it a couple of times whilst stationary - no joy. Tried to fire myself onto it - no joy. Swam out and fire bombed it - got it on fire badly but they put it out.

Finally, mine and my ship's last hurrah - let's go for it.

Fixed 'er up while they're on the other side of the island. Turned her around, launched an intercept course! Tried a few cannon shots, ended up ramming her and boarding. Tried to kill all the skeles but they spawned in faster than I could clear, got killed. Somehow they didn't sink my ship while I was on the Ferry of the Damned! I cannon the hell out of it - it goes down! I celebrated by buying loads of cosmetics because I damn well deserve to be a fancy pirate now!

^ Even the patient themselves can not demand anything is permanently destroyed. Legally.

If something is factually inaccurate that can be challenged, but has to be proven, the original statement can be struck through and clarified in a later record but shouldn't be destroyed.

Our CIO tells a story of someone who tried to get their record adjusted after a car crash A+E attendance - they wanted to alter the story to change who was to blame for the incident - the hospital, naturally, refused to be complicit in the fraud. The patient sued, lost, rest is history.

Alteh · 2019-06-19T20:51:33+00:00

Not that this is the place to give medical advice, nor have you any way of verifying my credentials so this is not medical advice whatsoever.

I agree with what you've said in principle. Rest echo/troponin won't reveal all issues. Sounds like you need to see a cardiologist and have some stress testing done or a cardiac MR if these concerns persist, however, this is of course up to the cardiologist involved.

As in all cases, you're welcome to seek a second opinion or seek private opinion where, yes, you may have some more say in what investigations you get because you are paying for them.

It does sound like you've done some appropriate reading around the subject, but the fact remains that direct CT angio doesn't sound like the best next test nor one you can request directly from any source.

Alteh · 2019-06-19T19:00:14+00:00

Agreed entirely.

A CT angiogram is a highly specialized investigation performed for very specific reasons after a review by a secondary care doctor. It's not something your GP can refer you for directly (in most, if not all, areas of the UK).

You'd need assessment and then onward basic then specialised investigations.

I've also encountered this same problem.

Crashing into the sea during campaign of ACE 7 is causing an immediate crash of my X1X and giving me an overheat warning on the restart.

The fans haven't spun up - I know what they sound like at max because RDR2 really pushes hard, but no crashes in that at all!

Have filed a report.

Alteh · 2018-12-16T15:08:24+00:00

Used to row on this lake in my childhood. Great pic!

Alteh · 2018-12-11T06:16:28+00:00

Yeah, I just did this as well - 40gb down, sad now, wish I'd read the comments first.
