OnMyPhone··on Apple Plans to Use Its Own Chips in Macs from 2020, Replacing Intel
I've been through the PPC to Intel migrations so many times for so many school districts that I'm still fairly amazed at how well it usually went as long as the apps weren't trash.

The biggest issues I ran into was always with the low quality edu based applications. So many of the issues we had with those apps were because they were created in Windows and ported half way to OS X, an old PPC version that did something special that the Intel version couldn't do, or the worst one using a special baked in version of Adobe Flash..

OnMyPhone··on If You’ve Met Aliens While on DMT, These Scientists Would Like to Hear from You
That's what my buddy said about them too. He only saw them when he blasted off, but could feel them around for a while after.

Definitely on my todo list.

OnMyPhone··on Blocklist Facebook domains
That's mostly what I use at home too. It works very well.

It doesn't quite work well while on the road sometimes. For those cases, I have a docker running diginc/pi-hole (with some additional hosts file blocking going on), then I point my laptops DNS towards that and am good to go.

OnMyPhone··on How to Know When a Child’s Flu Turns Serious
Almost that same exact thing happened to me when i was 11. The Dr's all said it was the flu, but I couldn't eat and my chest hurt so bad that i could barely breath.

The old Dr's refused to send me anywhere, and immediately got their lawyers when my parents asked questions. The asshats also gave me milk of magnesia at 10pm because "I didn't eat anything for a few days." So that was a great night...

My dad made the call to the other hospital and they arranged an ambulance. I spent a week at the first hospital, and after 3 hours at the new one, I was already under the knife. That was the first time I saw people at a hospital run because of what they were seeing on scans.

The new Dr told my parents (after i was OK) that the only thing he could think about once he initially saw me was that he was "operating on a dead boy."

Scary stuff.

I can't remember exactly what I had, but it was different than what your child had. Very similar experiences though.
