#3GoodThings
@3goodthings

Not excactly a good thing that I slipped on my way out of the bath tub yesterday night, but with that as the scenario:
1. We own crutches ourselves.
2. I did not hit my head, the #pcs (Post Concussion Syndrome) makes me ridicilously afraid of head setbacks.
3. I have the very best husband, who spoils me with bedside coffee. 🥰
And even 4.!
It is the left foot that hurts, so I will be back in the car in a few days. No clutch in our "new" car.

"New York Times bestselling author Cory Doctorow returns to the world of Red Team Blues to bring us the origin story of Martin Hench and the most powerful new tool for crime ever invented: the personal computer.

The year is 1986. The city is San Francisco. Here, Martin Hench will invent the forensic accountant — what a bounty hunter is to people, he is to money — but for now he’s an MIT dropout odd-jobbing his way around a city still reeling from the invention of a revolutionary new technology that will change everything about crime forever, one we now take completely for granted.

'Picks And Shovels' is a high-tech crime thriller about the “weird era of PCs” in the early 1980s, when Reaganomics, the tech industry, multilevel marketing, and the AIDS crisis all converged in San Francisco. "—Jacobin

Some may have noticed that I am quite sporadic these days with a morning timed message. They will continue on days I have something to report or say.

Health-wise, I stay the same with on-off focus periods with my brain where I am sharp or need a nap to reset. Naps / Sleep remains only a few hours at a time. #Concussion #PCS

Today starts a new work week with the #FoodBank, which shall be interesting:
Monday: Split shifts of Office and Home.
Tuesday: Work from Home. #WFH
Wednesday: Split shifts of Office and Home.
Thursday: Arianna has a medical procedure for which she is being sedated. I am taking PTO to be her driver and carer.
Friday: PTO
BTW - Saturday: Podcrawl - details here: https://tuxjam.otherside.network/podcrawl/

Over the weekend I completed a designated batch of typing up #Bible extracts from an international local people group. Sent in my completed work to my #MissionAssist supervisor, and received a new batch this morning.

I shall have my first #Coffee of the day at work.
Take care of yourself, and your neighbours.

I wonder if the #Trump despised, hated (#liberal) law firms that gave in to help his #MAGA agendas, were the ones to edfit the #tariffs to exempt #Smartphones, #PCs and #Tablets from #China and #SouthKorea⁉️

This what #EricHolder said in the video

"#Trump is getting these law firms to help him negotiate trade deals or work on this whole tariff, controversy"

"...these firms need to stand together. If we do, I think we ultimately win"

(cut) And I saw today, he was talking about getting these law firms to help him negotiate trade deals or work on this, this whole tariff, controversy. I'm not sure that they anticipated that, but that's what happens when you make deals with m, people like, uh, like like the president. You can't really tell exactly how you're going to be used. Um, and so I would hope that people, that firms would consider, their obligations, stand fast. Understand that if you sue if you sue you're likely to win and that you will not suffer any consequence as a result of your opposition. Now, it also means that other firms should not be trying to poach clients affirms that are the recipients of these executive orders. Should not be trying to approach lawyers of the firms that receive these executive orders. The profession these firms need to stand, um, together. If we do, I think we ultimately win. And for those who make these deals, what are you going to say five years from now when this is over. And when you start to talk about all the great culture that you have, the commitment that you have to the rule of law, how you're willing to take chances to take on unpopular clients. How are you going to say that with a straight face? How are you going to recruit young lawyers to come join you? (cut)

Trump administration exempts smartphones, PCs, and chips from reciprocal tariffs… for now

After announcing this week that most products shipped to the US from China would be subject to tariffs of 145 percent, the Trump Administration has rolled back tariffs on smartphones, laptop and desktop computers, chips, and other components that are not generally manufactured in the US.

That doesn’t mean there are no tariffs on those items. But products shipped from Taiwan, South Korea, […]

Hinzu kommt das Tragen von #FFP2 Masken. Es sollte selbstverständlich sein, ist aber durch Desinformation und Framing 'verpöhnt', wenn man das so diplomatisch betiteln möchte.

Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn ihr meine Petition #HygieneNeuDenken chng.it/fFZ4YcTDxW unterschreibt und natürlich teilt ♥

Die Intention ist und bleibt weiterhin, Menschen vor gesundheitlichen Beeinträchtigungen und dauerhaften Behinderungen zu bewahren.

"Post Covid Syndrome and Cognitive Dysfunction – Aetiology and Possible Treatment" - I think figure 1, the arrows going towards "cognitive dysfunction" should be bidirectional - but otherwise, yet another lay of the land paper implicitly but strongly suggesting that there is a pressing need for research focus on LC and ME/CFS treatments: cdn.fortunejournals.com/articl

The Guardian and BBC are both leading on this story this morning.
Once again we have a broad brush statement from politicians that civil service performance needs improving without any real evidence.

Performance related pay seems to be on the cards again, my experience of it was not good. Hours spent collecting and documenting personal evidence as well as reviewing staff's evidence. Then an annual series of comparison meetings to decide where people fitted on the arbitrary bell shaped curve that determined who got what. The individual bonuses involved were not much, IIRC the year I got a top award the amount was around £400.
I really hope this doesn't return as it was a waste of time, a divisive exercise for no real gain for anyone.

To improve performance they need to:
Drop competency based criteria and bring back minimal qualifications for new starters.
Improve pay conditions.

... is a marvel of nature!

It's amazing how it keeps all bodily functions under control like a well-oiled machine, despite the sheer amount of some people have with the beliefs they hold! Try doing that with a software and you'll be your office repeatedly over the weekend, hoping that it sticks somehow! If you pretend that human brains are like computers, then Thanos will be redundant.
