Incidentally, this started because Dolphin versions newer than 5.0-17260 break. If anyone knows whether 5.0-16264 and newer made changes that would cause Server 2016 (which is, again, based off W10 build 1607] to not play nice with it, do let me know so I can bite that bullet sooner rather than later.

So, my options are to either keep banging my head against this wall until I can confirm or deny what's going on or to just bite the bullet and switch to running Tiny10 even though having to reinstall and resetup everything would be a massive pain in the ass. Great.

Sorry, I'm running Windows 10. Why does your app not like it? It'd be nice if I knew whether technically being on build 1607 was the reason, but here we are. You won't tell me. Thanks.

I'm currently banging my head against a wall trying to figure out why some programs crash on launching. I suspect it's that I'm running Windows Server 2016 (based on the really old Windows 10 build 1607), but I'd rather not switch to Tiny10 because that's what we in the business call "a massive pain in the ass". But I can't confirm or deny that that's the reason because everyone just says the minimum requirement is "Windows 10 or higher".

Falsehoods programmers believe about Windows 10:

We don't have to list builds in our minimum requirements because surely everyone is just on the latest build of Windows 10, right?

@taminaminam Okay, yeah, I just checked the FDA's waived test database and there are not any waived tests for HRT stuff. The closest there is is for Esterone-3 glucuronide which is not (as far as I'm aware) tested for or relevant to HRT. So, yeah. Analyzing it yourself is unlikely.

@taminaminam Of course, this said, I don't know off the top of my head if any waived assays exist. (Here in the US, some tests are considered "waived" because they're easy enough to do. Generally, these are point-of-care assays (aka small) and many are easy enough for home use.) If any do, I don't know which you'd even be able to get your hands on and which would use the much easier capillary blood sample. That would be your only hope, though, AFAIK

@taminaminam Good luck getting the supplies. In particular, good luck getting needles. Once you've got those, have fun learning how to do venipuncture on yourself! (Assuming you don't already know venipuncture, of course.) Also, make sure you use the right tubes, lest whichever lab actually accepts it reject it for being in the wrong tube. All this to say, you're probably not going to do your own bloodwork. Not easily, anyways.

@taminaminam Are you ready to try to get your hands on a number of things that are either prescription only or otherwise generally only sold to medical professionals? Granted, this is only as far as I'm aware, but analyzing it yourself isn't gonna happen. (Not without somehow getting a massive overkill chemistry analyzer anyways.) It's questionable whether a lab would accept something you've drawn yourself. As for drawing it yourself...

I just got this old Macbook Pro running and what's the first thing I do? Install and play Bejeweled 2.

Something keeps thumping against my window. I think the moth wants back in.

I was going to ask if any of y'all knew how to get a giant moth out of a house without killing it, but I got it. The moth landed on a thing I was holding and allowed me to carry it outside. It is free.

So, anyways, how's your evening going?
