Me in a previous era. A year older at 24 (1990) I discovered cough mixture, on a train.

Neolithic Journey | Eston Hills arrowhead is well-travelled! A late Neolithic arrowhead, a Ripple-flaked Oblique type more than 5000 years old and discovered in the 1980s, has always stood out amongst other finds because of the unusual quality of the flint a…

#FindsFriday #FlintFriday #Archaeology takes you back to 2019, pre-pandemic. A late Neolithic arrowhead from Teesside may have been very well traveled, itself or the flint likely from Devon, over 450km away 🏺 clevelandarchaeology.com/2019/08/11/n...

Hey, way up on a parallel brain loop: This is how SARS-CoV-2 (Covid19) invades and destroys our immune system. A co-lateral observation. #LongCovid

I'm in the hover zone of needing to go for a restorative nap for an hour 7pm, realising I may not wake up until tomorrow. I awoke at 1pm today no matter how early I go to bed. #LongCovid

Mood. We are being ignored and left to die slowly since 2019-2020 Wuhan (the viral lab, US funded). We know what the SARS2 virus does, Covid19, like HIV. Engineered then a leak accident #LongCovid. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o05f...

Me at 24 in 1990, now age 59. Our golden years at SCO Unix (Santa Cruz Operation), still like family. If only one could return. Also about the time I started pole dancing in Soho, but there's no memory or evidence. Golden years.

PS he marked my Durham undergrad flinty dissertation 1986-7 and I got a distinction, friends ever since. But I always paid for supper.

That, Gabe, has made my day and week. Blessings at you. I think the last thing he ranted at me was something like "you smoke and drink too much". As we popped a cheroot over a glass of vino outside Olivelli's, subject to Chatham House Rules.

Polycam is very very good, and especially for easy communications. We've been using it for test pits (and some large) this year. I'm housebound but have been able to explore the results, and fair amount of features, in 3D.

Had the pleasure to see it before submitted to PAS. Truly beautiful. Another from the same field is a bit more battered and different type. PS HELLO Rebecca πŸ‘‹

Hour this eve testing Microsoft Teams for a call tomorrow w/a friend. I'm still old Windows 8.1, current Firefox browser, but audio broken. Teams needs Win10/11 as an app. All vid/audio/mic SW drivers fine. But Google Chrome works with fiddling. And it's supposed to be 21st century!

Oi, why the question mark headline? Yes it's safe. No, there is zero proven medical evidence for a connection. (I understand that autism is largely hereditary, genetic, first diagnosed 1911, so pre-existing, 50yrs before paracetamol). STOP scaremongering. POTUS is wrong and infantile, or senile.

Doing enough? Government is doing NOTHING. Good article.
And UK #LongCovid is more than ~2mill I wager with confidence! POLL as of now is:
"Do you think the UK government is doing enough to support long Covid patients?"
No 88% | Yes 5% | Don't know 7%

Boogerie. I'll try avoid coming back to you from the dark side. Do EVERYTHING you can & as long as you can - no exertion - for as long as it takes to feel improvement (at least 2-3 wks). Symptoms vary by strain. The darkness is the 10% or more who hit Long Covid (can take many weeks). I'm into yr6.
