i found that google was at least able to get the point across. as much as i am loathe to use google, it seems to be better for me in that case.

eh. i stopped using it once i realized that it was doing weird shit to my translation. The person i was communicating with had no idea what i was trying to say. I ended up writing the message myself in the target language, but if I didn't speak the language, I would have been screwed.

true, but i'm still surprised that he didn't order it.

I honestly thought it was about PPE.

It's not more efficient, but it does feel better on the hands, in my opinion.

If anyone here is active duty/reservist/national guard, remember:

Disobey illegal orders. If you obey an illegal order, you will be held responsible in a court martial when the day comes. The officers who ordered it will not be held responsible, if history is to be a guide. Punishment will only fall directly on the shoulders of the lower enlisted ranks and their NCOs.

In Annecy, Frnace, there's a plaque on one of the elementary schools where Jewish kids were forcibly removed from class by the ss and taken away. Same shit's starting to happen in America now.

Kill the fascists, disrupt their plans. Fuck them.

It's all fun and games then, too.

How the mighty have fallen. I recall that you once killed and consumed your prime minister.

I don't like my car doing anything I didn't explicitly tell it to, or not doing what I do he'll it to, like not downshifting when it's time to downshift.

I agree, that's why we need to violently harm those who would violently harm us, our loved ones and others like us and our loved ones.

I'm really into the scifi works by Ann Leckie, ancillary justice is the first book in the series, I highly recommend if you like space operas.

 

For the past few days I've been having pain in my chest and neck. It feels tight and like a bunch of pressure on my chest. I was worried enough to go to the ER for it yesterday. My resting HR was 104 and blood pressure was 130/95 when i got into the hospital. It lowered while waiting for the doctor to see me. They did an ECG and a blood test.

Doc says my ECG looked normal, but they had to redo my blood test because my troponin levels were at "7". They said that I didn't have a heart attack, but when I'm researching troponin levels, anything above a 4 is indicative of damage to the heart.

I also told the doc that i have depression and anxiety. he chalked it up as anxiety attacks.

At this point, does it sound like I should go see a cardiologist?
