I used to work with a Doctor who could after a 30s to two minutes conversation and maybe placing hands on a pulse or abdomen give an accurate diagnosis and management plan. Just decades of clinical experience and staying up to date with everything shining through. Seriously impressive to watch. Never doubted a diagnosis either unlike some other times I’ve seen that done.

Needs tomatoes, mushrooms, black pudding and toast. Maybe some form of potatoes. This is like discount full English breakfast.

Psychiatric diagnoses are made with time and extensive interviewing. Usually you need symptoms to be present, persistent and having a negative effect on the patient’s life for a diagnosis.

You do raise a very good point though because there is so much more subjectivity diagnosis can take a long time, a part of it is trying to rule out what you describe.

Apparently you really offended all the people who do get chips and curry sauce from the Chinese. Which always felt a bit sacrilegious to me, like these places are known for amazing rice and noodles so let’s get fried potato which we can get at basically any other food place in the UK.

The driver is obviously at fault for using a 2 ton metal box to kill someone whilst drunk. The fact that they died as well just means justice is working quicker.

Whistle with my fingers, took a good few weeks of practice over one summer blowing spit all over my fingers but eventually I learned. Still a really useful skill today.

I enjoy both. I switch between fiction/fantasy heavy and science heavy. Sometimes I’ll do a run or a series of one and get a hankering for the other. Usually I prefer my sci-fi more science than fiction. I love the expanse and the martian for example. But I also enjoy the culture and the Polity books which are more fiction than hard sci-fi.

I’m pretty sure the anachronisms in a knights tale are deliberate to give modern audiences more appreciation for the feel of things for the locals of that time period. Great movie. Always forget it’s really long though.

Well shit, I was playing dying light 2 yesterday. It’s mildly better than the other game I’ve been playing Pathogenic which is a rogue lite where you play a pathogen trying to kill the scientist who made you in a lab.

Think I’m pretty screwed either way to be honest. At least I’m dying light 2 I get to be human and do parkour so that’s cool.

Steam OS? Or emulators? It’s not like an old laptop is going to be running modern games

Could you just put Linux on the old machine instead? I suspect that would be safer.

And party on dudes.

This looks fascinating. It also has a demo. I’ll be giving it a go. Thanks for sharing.

I can touch type pretty well. Dyslexia not withstanding. I learned during the MSN messenger years.

I can also blind swipe text on my phone with not totally atrocious accuracy. Still need to proof read them before sending though.

What system is that? That’s a lot of d10s.

Gotta love the shiny click clack rocks. Such an easy rabbit hole to fall into.

You need the algae food paste thing until you can pick up another crew member or train someone up on the learning station.

Just another chipping in on the Eufy solar. I’ve been pretty impressed so far with a few minor niggles.

Generally it works well, connects nicely to the repeater and rings ok. Solar works great no issues with battery power on our south facing front.

The main selling point for me was no subscription or remote server connection.

It’s annoying if it loses connection to the WiFi. I’ve actually turned the security mode (which makes it scream if taken off the wall without turning that off first in the app).

The automation in this one is pretty good. I think the pawns are maybe a bit smarter than Rimworld so you don’t need to manually direct them as often.

Having a bit of a story mode also helps as you’ve usually got a mission objective you can come back to.

I’m like 20 hours in now and still very much enjoying myself.

I’ve been playing space haven. It’s Rimworld in space with some more story. The basics are a little more complex but at least on normal difficulty staying stable seems easier once you’re established, it doesn’t have quite as much depth I don’t think. I’m really enjoying it. Good cool music. Fun boarding mechanics. Great little game.
