to be fair the title didn't promise it would be done well

I'm surprised about the 266 MB of DICOM images, I've never had an MRI but my CT results are generally between 1-2GB (zipped) and I always assumed an MRI would have more data, guess I was wrong about that!

I don't touch my display on my MacBook and it's always yucky because of the finger oils on my keyboard, so the thought of having to use a special cloth to clean it always seemed like too much of a hassle for me compared to the glossy display. I did wonder if this improved ever since they added nano texture to the ipad pro, but sounds like fingerprints are still annoying.

For me it often still is.. at least when I'm working alone on something / no collaboration needed. Every time I try something else I revert back to this, although sometimes I do save the files, eventually.

If I check on monkeytype it's around 130wpm but as others have said it really depends on what you are typing.

(for what it's worth I learned to touch type on an old typewriter decades ago, however my wpm was much slower then as the typewriter would lock up if I typed too fast)

I had a very mild pain on and off again that I assumed would go away and waited with going to the GP way too long.

Yeah if possible get screened and when in doubt about something in/on your body please get it checked. I also had to suffer through chemo this year because of metastasis – had I checked sooner I might've gotten away by just having the surgery and no chemo. Last chemo was two months ago, still have side effects, mostly neuropathy. Compared to other patients I shared rooms with I still consider myself lucky but definitely an experience you want to try and avoid (unless you need it, of course). Now hoping my next CT is clean.

I can't comment on causes as I'm not a doctor, in my case all the known causes did not apply to me.

I can't put my finger on it but I don't find this enjoyable to read at all.. so I don't know much about readability claims here. Maybe I'm an outlier.

I have never seen a 3+ month notice to quit in the country I live, curious which country this happens in? Sounds extremely ridiculous if true

I loved Palm since my first, the IIIe SE and have had many of their other later devices too. I was even invited to the launch party of the Zire 71 with it's cool slide out mechanism! Oh and the Tungsten|T when it could finally play MP3s was very neat, and another sliding mechanism making it more compact. Ah memories, well back to my non-distinctive slab of glass.

I was also interested in the Sony CLIÉ's running PalmOS but never tried one. And of course the Psion's also seemed really cool but never landed its way in my hands.

I care a lot about my privacy and this was one of the main reasons I didn't want to use dating apps. But I also didn't want to stay alone and meeting people in meat space (maybe I shouldn't have called it that) also didn't work for me, so I did end up using one of these apps. Luckily it worked and I clicked delete as soon as possible.

I never accepted the new terms in the Instagram app, it keeps asking again every now and then but you can get around it for a while and use the app. I'm very curious whether that means they are using my personal data for targeted ads or not, but I also don't remember the last time I saw an ad (maybe became blind to them)

Delta for free in the regular App Store everywhere but the EU where we have to download a paid app store to install it, so it begins.
