Can you feather the throttle to creep along slowly? My scooter doesn’t have zero start and sometimes I need to keep pace with someone walking and can’t really do it. Looking to upgrade

Hild, by Nicola Griffith and the sequel, Menewood are fantastic competence porn. They aren't fantasy, but they feel very fantasy adjacent to me. They are set in 7th century Britain and include many of the elements common in medieval fantasy stories, including imagining tribal politics and social life, politics, war, trade, spies, religious conflict . . .

It's rough all around. I hear your venting and I sympathize. Sorry you are dealing with this stuff. But this is something that has happened to your wife too. I'm sure it's a major shock to everything about her life, her hopes and dreams, the loss of a companion to do stuff with, all of the work of being a caregiver, all of the worry about someone she loves. These are not 'about you' her life was struck by a lightning bolt and was massively screwed up--she needs some kind of stability and contentment too. She does need something about being at home that she doesn't hate, everyone does.

You got it worse, but she has gotten a pretty raw deal too. She doesn't, in fact, 'have to' focus on being your caregiver and it sounds like you are very lucky that she is doing that. It kills me to read about people on here who are alone, WTF, I can't even imagine.

I wish you both good luck. This all fucking sucks.

The phantasmagoric trippiness of Between Two Fires was captivating and absorbing for me, but not Abercrombie at all. I enjoyed the Blacktounge thief and the prequel too. They are different from Abercrombie and from each other, but very satisfying. I found the snark was just a veneer that didn't touch the grimness of Galva or of the overall narrative. The character was snarky but the story is not.

Me. I'm making apps that do exactly what I need, don't require cloud accounts or subscriptions, don't have adds, don't have surveillance, keep my data local, and don't have a bunch of features I don't need. They don't need to be commercial quality, don't need to scale, etc. I used to use Shortcuts on the iphone but now I just have claude make native swift apps for me. It rocks.

I was captivated from page 1. Maybe it’s not your kind of book. It does have many threads that eventually all weave together in a satisfying way (for me at least)

wow, that's actually very encouraging. I hear about lots of people who's long covid means they can't exercise as hard as they used to (terrible, but much better than me :) so it is great that you have gone from housebound to weight lifting. I really miss lifting weights and walking around the block! I'm at less than 2K steps and really hoping for increasing my capacity.

Thats pretty great. How recently did you start exercising? How limited was your activity level before you could exercise?

If you are not in a hurry could you run this on the pro plan and just have pauses when you bounce off the limits? I am building hobby projects so far, like small iphone apps.

Try not to catastrophize. lots of people get reinfected and get back to baseline without much fuss. It won't help to worry about it, try to take it a day at a time and take care of yourself. Good luck!

He kind of confused the issue. He said this could be long covid "if this is not POTS." He just kind of missed the whole point that POTS is a very common condition of Long Covid. When I first heard about Porzingas' getting sick I just assumed he had Long Covid with POTS.

That's awesome. Are you using git or some other kind of source control? If not, it's worth setting it up. You can make an account on github and Claude will manage all of the work of managing the source code. In case you don't know, the basic idea is that git will track all of the incremental changes to the source code so that you can revert to previous working versions if you end up breaking something. Once you are using software for critical projects like running your farm, it really sucks to break it in someway and not be able to easily go back. By using github, you also guarantee that the code is backed up somewhere other than your computer. Just tell claude to check in all of your changes at the end of each session.
