I was on the final day of an overseas trip. I’d been there for several weeks, and my wife flew over and joined me for the last week to see the sights.

I’d eaten the hotel breakfast buffet almost every day of my stay with no issues. So, I grabbed my usual items, including some buffet line shakshuka (an eggs, feta, and tomato stew). It may have been sitting out a while…. Thankfully my wife opted for something else. Yum yum, check out, drop stuff off at my company’s HQ, off the airport, drop the rental, etc.

We were sitting in the airport inside the security check when it started - nausea, sweats, and bad cramps. Not the best look when in a foreign country with serious (and slow) airport security. Got through, beelined to the bathroom, and I thought I got it out from both ends. I boarded the plane feeling a bit better, but it ramped up again once we were onboard and continued for the entirety of the 13 hour flight home. I have seen immense torment inside the tiny bathroom of a 747 airliner, and I think I spent more time in there than my seat. When I did make it out, I sat shivering and sweaty in my seat for a few minutes before I had to go again.

I was thankful my wife was there to keep me hydrated and that the plane was empty enough that I could grab a seat row near the back for myself to lie down, instead of climbing over some poor bastard every time.

Surprisingly, I still like shakshuka.

He has a a free couch, he just needs help getting it out of the basement. Totally fine.

American here, what’s exciting in Swedish politics these days? I’d like some reprieve from the dumpster fire that is America for a minute.

Just don’t put it on your home network. I have an LG C3(?) from 2018 that is a perfectly good dumb TV without the WiFi password.

This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no foolin’ around.

AFAIK, Milwaukee makes no claim to a particular style of pizza. We just make beer that goes damn well with any style - Lakefront Brewery’s Riverwest Stein being my top pick.

I’ll line up to give you a high five on that! It’s a damn good feeling to hit that milestone. Great job!

Oh, I’d expect a British ship or two to hang out very near the Falklands for as long as he’s in power.

A heads up if you have a G-Sync monitor from that same era: it may not do variable rate with Freesync. I was ready to pull the trigger and upgrade my 1080 Ti to an AMD card when I caught that detail. So now I need to justify the cost of a new main monitor as well if I want to have smooth variable refresh. Good luck!

I took up biking about 3 years ago, and I definitely have a lot less nervous energy after a ride and can focus on mental tasks better. The post-workout endorphin high may be part of it.

BTW - not personally experienced with ADHD; just came across this in All.
