The PCR-test measures the existence of virus RNA. Not when you were infected, if you are sick of that virus and also not if you are contagious.

Because the symptoms are now similar to almost all other virus infections there is no way of knowing if you are sick of Omicron after a positive PCR-test.

Edit: For some confused people an example. You came in contact with Omicron but didn't get sick of it. 2 weeks later you came in contact with the RS virus and this time you got a runny nose so you get a PCR-test. The result is positive from the Omicron contact 2 weeks earlier. So they say you are sick of Omicron. But in fact you are sick of RS.

But from my own experience: it might have to do with lack of energy.

It sounds like you are responsible for the decisions you make. If you don't have a lot of energy you don't have energy to deal with possible bad outcomes. That's when you start to overthink your decisions to protect you from energy loss in case you made the wrong choice.

So check your energy levels.

And if the responsibility is too much for you be honest about it. Involve others to make the decision.

As a matter of fact the internet did not change that much as most people think. Ofcourse CSS changed and made things easier, Javascript is making application development more easy but in the end we are still transferring text and media.

Maybe the biggest change came when browser plugins started listening to http traffic. The change to https was one of the fastest on the internet and right now almost all our interactions on the web are 'secure'.

While I think blockchain tech is in some sense a new idea, I don't think it will change the internet very soon. I think it will come as soon as ipv6.

And after 6 months the effect of the vaccines starts declining and after 9 months they don't work anymore. That's why booster campaigns are starting now.

If a thousand healthy people come in contact with the virus it is possible they all will have a positive PCR test while not being contagious at the same time.

Outside it measures around 400ppm so the base point is good. Inside it measures 480ppm with good ventilation. When someone farts it goes to 2000ppm for a while. So I think it measures 'alright'.

There have been a lot of sudden snow lately. In the UK 50 people were stuck in a bar and I believe in Denmark people had to stay the night in IKEA.

When I started using Blender I came from 3DsMax. Max took almost half aminute to start, Blender maybe 2 seconds. And now, years later, Blender is still fast. The architecture is just very good. And maybe it's one of the best in the wold.

A lot of people hated the UI, but I always loved it. I love that you can arrange the panels the way you like. I wish programs like Photoshop could do this as well. And yes, since v2.8 everything became even better and the learning curve was lowered.

I also love all shortcuts and user interactions. This was really made for users. And maybe that's because Blender is mostly made by users.

And now v3.0! I am excited about two things: Cycles X (very fast rendering) and the overhauled Geometry Nodes.

I believe Geometry Nodes are the next big thing because this is Blender's answer to Houdini.

Edit: if you are interested in Geometry Nodes you should check out Erindale @ YT https://youtube.com/c/Erindale

He creates complete scenes without modeling a thing. The models are all procedurally built.

What I really like about this is that the base grid is not straight. Therefore the buildings are arranged in a very European style.

Absolutely!

I think we are very 'unlucky' (stupid) that we are accelerating a natural climate change that causes global warming.

“Climate simulations generally do not reproduce this kind of warming in the Arctic Ocean, meaning there’s an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms driving Atlantification,”

My takeaway: because we still know so little about the mechanisms we should be more careful about our environment. It's very naive to pump tons of CO2 into the atmosphere without knowing what will happen.

For example, after decades of sea level doom scenario's people are saying it is "slower than expected".

Another way to get rid of it is to go into a global 100% lockdown for two weeks at the same time. Again animals that can transmit it included.

I can imagine if this becomes a succes they will update all their IDEs or use Fleet as the new platform.

By the way, sometimes a corrupted cache can be a problem. You can fix this via File -> Invalidate Caches.

The moment you create something that can be used to upload any type of content, some people will exploit it.

PHP always wins when it comes to deployment and productivity. In my opinion that's the power of PHP.

It's also versatile. I used it for small projects, multi-million € projects, COM-port communication, API communication, prototyping and what not.

The syntax is not great, but to me PHP is this multi-tool that just gets the job done and will run reliable for years.

So we already have thousands of mutations. But changes we call variants happen much slower.

Still, the vaccins are based on the 2019 variant.

And the real pros used dithered transparend gifs.

You can say that the melting of glaciers is an anomaly but when an ancient forest appears below the melted glacier how can we agree on what an anomaly is?

I don't want to deny global warming but I agree with the parent that it's difficult to state what an anomaly is.

But this was a long time ago. I think somewhere around Metz. The road was something like a primary road which turned into a highway. A paper map indeed confirmed the road changed into a highway.
