While I don't disagree with it, I'm afraid I can't co-sign that Delphic Maxim.

Well what did they think was important?

I should try and answer. So I don’t sound like a black hole…

The last one sounded the least common sensical today and therefore surely most interesting.
I then began reading about surety bonds and got bored quickly.
Hence, surety then ruin.

Sure.

Glad there is still something else out there in addition to the greatly honored Wikipedia computer site.

Surely, you didn't get my joke. It wasn't funny, just true is all. I checked the dictionary too, to be sure. It's ruined now, nvm 🙃

You just reminded me. You're fine. Spank and Masque obviously didn't survive the pandemic. And Veedz, the baby-faced good looking kid from down under is also dead.
Which is a pity. Australia have gone collectively insane for a fairly predicatable seasonal resurgence. Granted, new variant thrown on top, but still. Would like to hear his opinion on it.

I'm confident that my liquor cabinet is full stocked, a surety for sure.

More than likely they decided, incorrectly, that they ought be doing something useful with their time.

In other news my doctor's office called to tell me a few things about my pre annual physical blood tests. I have zero Covid anti-bodies despite being double vaxxed. I have managed to dodge all of the bullets and now have to wait for the boosters to get going.

Good news, tho: Despite the enormous amount of sweets that I eat (can't help it) my blood sugar level is ok.

How a protest looks like in Amsterdam.
https://youtu.be/bQVTyBPJbN4
No joke.


Isn't it interesting. The netherlands are missing festivals (and night clubs) only.


Bars close at midnight instead of all hours (although the sex workers can work til 4am). Masks must be worn on public transport. But that is it, more or less.

No vax passport, no mask needed in the service sector. It felt free. Despite the fact i booked time of work was to go to a amsterdam festival first and foremost. As i missed the ones in 2020.

Compare that to the nightmare that is macron's france going on simultaneoulsly. However, never will i bag on the French again. The solildarity between the people in choosing to not to support any establishment that asks for papers is beautiful.

Didn't have that in my shithole of a country but we eventually figure it out, and sure it will be grand. Still a shithole.

New york? Fogeddaboudit.

You don't have to like this music. As a matter of fact, i'm not so sure Joris Voorn even does. His productions and track selection are worlds apart from this slighltly painful techno which i think is the reason he selected it.

What's that? You won't allow festivals to take place in the desingnated areas such as forrests miles on the outskirts, so we'll create a makeshift one in the heart of the capital. Which interestingly had zero negative effects on society. They intentionally have no traffic there, by design.

I wouldn't argue i knew better not to take it. But my intuition was pretty on point.
There's a timing element to it though. Just when it was my time, things began to really not make sense. Just like Israel's decision to give a booster of an already outdated vaccine, of sorts.

The antibodies are meant to wane. Apoarently there are other parts to the immune system such as memory T cells. It was interesting hearing Vincent Racianello being totally disappointed about Israel and the CDC's flip flop. But then he goes on to argue things that are unlikely. And that is the theme of this entire pandemic. Experts not knowing what is going on.

If you want diabetes, you should get some fat stores around your pancreas and liver. Some people are born with more skill in this than others, but I'm sure that you could manage if you put some real effort into it.

Having reached the ripe old age of 71 I have resolved to not put much effort into anything, health (and even the destruction of Earth by a comet) be damned.

But thanks for the advice.
