I got both Shingles shots this year. I felt awful after each one, like I had a bad cold or flu for about 24 hours. Fever, shivers, sore joints.

Worth it.

Software on Windows Vs macOS Vs Linux

Found on Facebook.
A colorful three-panel meme comparing Mac OS, Windows, and Linux compatibility with old software. Panel 1 (Mac OS): A bearded man asks, “Can you install this 5-year-old program?” A panicked cartoon character with glasses screams, “Noooo, I can’t! This program is too old!” Panel 2 (Windows): The same bearded man asks, “Can you install this 25-year-old program?” Another calm version of the bearded man replies, “Yes, I can! Installing… done!” Panel 3 (Linux): Two bearded men face each other. One asks, “Can you install this 25-year-old program?” The other answers, “It’s already installed.” The background is bright and neon throughout.

* 5GHz WiFi doesn't work despite my […]
