These robot cars are starting to kill people.
SFGate: Injured person reportedly dies after Cruise cars block first responders >>> https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/cruise-cars-reportedly-block-first-responders-18343475.php
"Two autonomous Cruise vehicles and an empty San Francisco police vehicle were blocking the only exits from the scene... forcing the ambulance to wait while first responders attempted to manually move the Cruise vehicles..."
"The pedestrian later died of their injuries... linked to the delay in getting them to the hospital."
Contacted the PDSA about how to go about putting Bellatrix to sleep. Tried calling but since I don't think it's an emergency, they are closed to non-emergency calls.
Going to try and make her last few days as enjoyable and luxurious as we can.

Not so random reminder to WASH YOUR WATER BOTTLE
Check the o ring, wash the straw, wash the little mouth piece if you have one. Don't get sick! Don't drink mold!

Tonight I got interlaced frames fully working in my NTSC/CRT emulation, as well as added timings for the SNES' 512-pixel-wide display mode, which wasn't used for many games (most notably, Secret of Mana and its sequel's menus).
These higher resolution modes weren't used very often, in part because the color resolution on NTSC was low enough that there's TONS of fringing on narrow things like text (the stuff you usually are using a higher resolution for)
#Homeworld #DesertsofKharak now free on Epic Game Store :)
So I figured I'd share them on my DeviantArt, so that others can use them if they wish... and people have actually been liking them :)
I feel good.

That's where they are if anyone is interested.
So pretty much all of Wednesday was spent colorizing 26 different half-page 'handouts'.
I didn't even think about which ones I'm likely to use, I just OCD'd into finishing the lot. Granted, around 30 mins per image on average... 13 hours... but I did them :)
Then it kinda sunk in, wondering how much time I might have 'wasted' (this is relative, since I'm disabled so stay at home a lot).

She's prescribed some Rheumocam, so it's most likely an inflammation thing.
Doesn't surprise me as we think she might be a little arthritic anyway.

Poll for folks w/Long Covid
Some studies have shown close to half of Long Covid/Post-covid cases meet ME/CFS criteria. Here's one study (there are others):
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9998690/
But many docs don't get any training on how to diagnose ME/CFS. So I wonder if patients are getting diagnosed?
For those with post COVID symptoms, what's your diagnosis, if any?
Poll options are limited, please reply with details.
Thanks❤️
Please boost!

This has mostly been reported as "trans women banned from women's chess" but it's much more sinister. (as if it weren't already.)
ALL trans people are targeted by this ruling. Trans men will be stripped of all chess titles won, which can only be returned to them by “changing the gender back to a woman” (from the ICF’s ruling). ALL transgender chess players will be marked as trans in their files.
If you play or know anyone who does take a stand on this. It's ugly.
Got woken up with cat getting worse from UTI (or similar) that she's already been treated twice for in the last month.
Another urgent visit to the PDSA.
Starting to face the fact that she might have to be released from her pain today.

I wrote up a quick thing in response to an ask on Tumblr on how I identify ICs in PCBs I'm reverse engineering:

and yes this makes OW2 the number 1 most negatively rated game on steam, even if this chart is still behind on updates somewhat
