Definitely eat/drink something. Maybe a smoothie?

The producers/writers of The Circle had a chatbot as a contestant in Season 6, which made things rather interesting when the other players were finally told.

Damn. There’s definitely nasty illnesses going around and it sucks that you got Covid. Get better and do everything you can to rest. Treat your symptoms, hydrate, and don’t over exert yourself.

The illnesses going around right now are rough (going on day 7 of recovery myself). Stay safe and healthy.

Any chance you can sleep in an armchair or propped up with pillows at an angle? This is assuming the closing up is when you lay down. I knew someone who had breathing issues and only slept in a chair.

That can be a trip as you’re coming to! Glad to hear things went well. My partner had difficulty being roused after surgery, so I kept telling new stories each time they woke up and asked me what time it was.

Minnesota doesn’t tax clothing either, so if you’re considering a move, do your winter shopping once you get here. Layers are important and very useful for keeping warm. It takes some time to learn but you can be very cozy inside and out with the proper gear.

On the TSA site, the flag was last modified in October ’24, on another I checked Aug ‘24. It’s been this way for a while. The banner is on most US gov sites, likely designed to be unobtrusive. It is poor design or a UI limit that results in it being so small (64x64 pixels) they can’t have 50 stars.

Someone pointed this out on a thread about the TSA site. The flag in the banner was last updated in October 2024. The image is too small (64x64 pixels) to have enough definition for all the stars, so there is only a representation of them. Likely either poor design or a UI limit.

The image (us flag small) on that site has an Oct 2024 modified date. It’s probably been that way for some time. The backstory on why it doesn’t have more stars would be good to know.
