I’ve just made my first UberEats order in years: Cold and flu tablets should be here shortly. Expensive, but the chances of me getting myself to the chemist are pretty much nil at this point.
It is frustrating trying to wade through all of the different products and figure out what anything is, you have to look at the ingredients for everything. It would be nice if that information was at least more prominent, instead of an afterthought behind branding. At the very least real drugs and herbal remadies should be easy to pick apart.
Edit: disaster! order arrived with my cough syrup & lozenges but no cold and flu tabs. Apparently they were out of stock and did not substitute. Another order made for a different type of tablet. At least the delivery fee is only a few dollars.
Other problem is that you can’t get pseudoephedrine without picking up in person.
Phenylephedrine tablets were recently classed as a Placebo by the FDA, so it is a waste of time. Phenylephedrine nasal treatments are reported to work.
I thought that was the case too, but there must be some sort of loophole because I have pseudoephedrine.
I was surprised to be able to get it, and also relieved because going to the chemist in person is both beyond my current capabilities and also not great for the community given I probably have Flu and it would be better not to spread it around.
The perils of living alone that those who live with others easily forget…
Yep. The other one I always loved was being expected to get a medical certificate for sick leave. When you are actually sick that can be extremely difficult and often counterproductive. Fortunately I only need a stat dec these days, but I do have a written warning on file for taking sick leave without a certificate before. Because obviously if I’m too sick to work I’m perfectly capable of getting myself to the doctor’s to the doctors to fill out some paperwork.
It’s utterly ridiculous. And when you’re particularly sick maybe exposing everyone in the clinic to your illness isn’t a great idea if it’s the contagious kind. Thank heavens for telehealth. I hope you recover fully soon - surely bound to happen with the expert purrfessionalism of Dr Meow.

It was so over the moment I realised I could cheat with the DVD bounces.

I love how you’ve set up the mirror so she can admire herself
She always knew her reflection was her.
The wall, it speaks to me.
Hopefully not an angry ghost lol
Have to admit it is cheaper than a cat toy.
I’m happy she’s using the cat tree lol.

I found my Nella Last books. Nella was an Englishwoman who wrote diaries and filled out questionnaires for Mass Observation during WW2 and continued for years afterwards. Somebody then compiled several books out of her 12 million words. A fascinating read written by a housewife and volunteer at the time.
Lenovo hand held running steam OS? HECK yes!
What’s the price?
499 USD. I think TBC here.
The handheld space is getting very interesting. I look forward to what happens when SteamOS officially makes the jump to desktops
I need it to run games pass before its a serious consideration for me.
I love steam, most of my games are in steam. But I cant justify ~1k on a steam OS handheld then 100 bucks on a new AAA title if its on gamespass for free.
I don’t play a wide enough variety of games to get games pass. If it ever becomes available on a SteamOS handheld you know Microsoft have given up
I don’t think I’ve ever noticed Lemmy do this before, but:
Happy Cake Day!
Thank you. I haven’t seen it come up either, it could be the app I’m using to browse Lemmy.
Being on Aussie.zone has been one of the more pleasant parts of the past year
I was explaining this to the mrs the other day. Now that they have this “everything is an xbox” campaign I guess the question is does that extend to devices they compete with? iPhone/Android they dont have a horse in that race. Neither TVs or tablets. But Linux they directly compete with. So is EVERYTHING an xbox? Or just stuff they dont compete with.
It goes deeper that Valve also released a gaming device. Gaming was over thing keeping people on Windows on their personal PCs, and not only did valve release and Xbox competitor, but with a different OS.
Although, I did hear Microsoft would rather sell an Office 365 subscription rather than a one off copy of Windows. Games pass fits that business model as well so they might just get out of OSes and hardware and just become another subscription service provider
I’m working my butt off but it feels like anything I do backfires or needs to be redone. I’m so tired.
its that time of the year for sure. 1 step forward 2 steps back.
Wait, you guys are getting steps FORWARD?!?
I was just in the kitchen and I saw something at the back door. I walked to the door and a cat was there, just staring. How strange.
I think Miss Meow got sent to you by accident.
good night everyone , sweet dreams 😘
Just helping the young Seagoons pack. 😭 not having a good time

big hugs
I’m going bowling today! Haven’t been bowling for probably 5 years and I never was any good. Then probably a pub lunch afterwards. Beautiful day outside too. 😊
What kind of bowling? Lawn or the indoor kind?
Ten pin bowling, but I wouldn’t say no to lawn bowls
I always use the kiddie ramp thing at least once. Still goes in the gutter though :(
Maybe you and Force need bumper bowling.
I have a plan on how to get a full night’s sleep. Let’s see how it plays out.
Goodnight all ❤️
Do share how it goes!
Has anyone heard from StudSpud lately? Haven’t seen them around like usual.
