I don't see it in his (downvoted) comment. It's getting unhealthy. Nowadays you need to be super careful when you write to not possibly offend anyone the tiniest bit. It's fuc*ed up.

Actually, I have long covid. The sick feeling / malaise were some sort of early PEMs I think. Soon afterward, after I pushed it a bit too much with no awareness on the issue, I had a huge crash that did not feel like being sick, more like beign drained from all energy. I used to work a bit and play a video game when I was sick previously, now I am not able to watch more than 1h of a movie without resting.

My whole life is suspended. I hope I will get to recover. I will try to rest as much as I can. I believe I got this because I was working while being sick. Who the fuck know something like this was possible. They should fucking teach about this in school... don't work while you are sick or risk ending up disabled. Instead most doctors don't even know such illness exist.

Are you back to training? Or do you still need to be careful? Could you share some tips about pacing / not triggerring PEMs?

It's been 4 weeks since I got sick and I still feel tired and unwell, but it's not anything as extreme as not being able to take a short walk, I even did some lightweight cardio-type exercise and there are days where I can be working almost all day (pushing through). I'm not sure what I should do and I will try to research it, but I feel like I have to push as much as I can while allowing more rest (i.e. 10h/day sleep, 1h nap in the mid day) until I'm well and trying do some lightweight cardio every day and a short walk. Reading the comments I have some fears that I could make worse / permanent though.

I think there's something in-between though.

I have been sick for 1.5 weeks (which is an extreme time for me by itself), afterwards I did not feel quite normal and got right back to being sick just after a few days, progressively getting worse. After another 1.5 weeks, I almost felt normal, only super-tired, I got to rest all day, only to wake up in the night feeling sick again. Another 5 days went by, to get back to the point where I feel tired but not sick and again, I went back to feeling generally unwell, although it may be better than the last time. It goes for 4 weeks now.

Most recently, I woke up, felt sick right there in the morning, feeling like I should rest rather than work but with great mental exertion I overrode it and carried a full day, with little to no rest, every minute pushing against that feeling and doing some light exercise too. At the end of the day, I felt like I did not sleep the entire night and as I went to sleep, I slept like a stone. The day after I got that tiredness feeling without feeling sick I wrote about earlier - which felt like progress.

I don't have extreme tiredness like you describe, but something is clearly wrong and it cut my weekly work capacity by half. I never had something like. I also have been hearing about friends of friends also feeling unwell for 1 month or 2 months.

What do you expect them to do, send a rocket back? If the rockets hit anything of value, it would not be plausible to say that it was an accident anymore and then it's a an entirely different situation. Also it took 9 months for something like this to happen, if it happens again within a short time frame, then it's also different. For now, maybe they could retaliate with the equipment, like providing Ukraine with those fighter jets.

I don't think that looking for shelters or martial law being imposed is a realistic concern. If Russia drops a nuke, it would most likely be in Ukraine and a tactical one on the front-line or some military infrastructure. Imposing a martial law would not go without economic costs, in already tough times. Has any country but Ukraine imposed a martial law when Russia attacked it, despite the fear of being the next target? The worst case scenario where you would need to look for shelters, I don't think it would apply to just that geographical area.

Yes, I hope so. I was very surprised to see such a theory coming from someone that once was a US general - I guess a bluff could always provide a little deterrence. Perhaps a more realistic scenario could be NATO forces entering Ukraine, but keeping out from the front-line, highlighting that there will be consequences of a strike on any of their soldiers on the territory of Ukraine. If they don't do anything, it's going to be a big win for Russia and encouragement to go further.

This worries me. They recruit over 300k but only 150k were used for the invasion. If they are recruiting much more than 300k, as the article suggests may be a possibility, they may have some plans beyond Ukraine indeed - despite their shitty equipment and lack of organization.

I'm in my late 20s, still dream about school. But it's not like in the article. I almost never stressed about exams much. I never have any nightmares about it. Just dream about being in class, hanging out with people. I attended 3 schools total (primary, mid, high) and all occur in the dreams. Sometimes the people get mixed up, i.e. the class consists of a mix of colleagues from mid and high, or more rarely, the primary pops up. That's kinda weird when I think about it.

I did a re-install last year to get rid of the clutter. I created a document that describes every step. Whenever I install a new package, that is going to be useful, I add it to pacman -S command in the document.
