Well I saw my first ever Total Eclipse! Pretty cool, I wasn’t able to get glasses but I’m so hardcore I looked at it with my eyes. And I didn’t even go blind!

It was only a partial eclipse where I live but it was still neat to see.

It was super cloudy, overcast today so I couldn’t even see the eclipse – the glasses didn’t even work because there wasn’t direct line if sight to the sun. 
(also I started my shift like 10 mins before the full event so I was stuck inside)
Ah well, at least it was cool to see it get really dark, the streetlamps turn on, then bright again.
And of course immediately after the sky cleared up completely and it was extremely bright outside… Ugh. Better luck in the next 100 years I guess

You should have offered up some Conservative Party members as a sacrifice to prolong it.

I did a health check up last week, the good news is that my X-Ray is better than last time, I only have a small spot left on my lung, and thankfully the infection hasn’t regressed after coming off the anti-biotics. I’m going back for another X-Ray in a month. The only bad part is that there is a possibility that if the spot is still there in my lung next time, it could mean that my lung has sustained small permanent damage. What that means exactly, I’m not sure, guess a conversation for another time. But otherwise, it looks like the current illness saga is at an end at least.
The last 2 weeks I’ve gone back to working 5 days rather than just 3, roughly 25 hours a week, close to the 30+ I used to work. Honestly, I am struggling with it, I forgot how tiring it is to do 5 days in a row. It doesn’t help that I am very bad at time management and working more means I struggle to plan out the rest of my week doing things I need to do, like clearing my house.
I have a 2 week holiday next month, I think after that I will be back on the job hunt again. Shame that job hunting is such a miserable experience, especially when you have no qualifications or skills, but I need to break out delivery driving at some point. Guess we’ll see how that goes when that comes.

I saw that! He’ll still be part of the Oxventure and he’ll still be on YouTube. I do wonder if they’ll find a replacement for him on OutsideXtra or just absorb Ellen into the main channel though.

Finally arrived!! phew
Dude took 2 weeks until he said it was shipped on the website, and even then ebay was saying it could arrive as late as April 17th.
And last night was the end of the digital version on sale for 16$.
So if this didn’t work out or the package got lost in the mail (happened last time I bought from ebay) then I’d have to wait 1.5 months for the digital sale or take another gamble online for a similar price. Thankfully it’s neither!

Iranians were frightened and sleepless for the night, with gas stations being flooded with cars (where you gonna flee with your ancient Peugeot mate?)
A direct attack on the Israeli side from Iranian soil, despite causing no critical damage, had never been done before and won’t be left unanswered.
No one under 40 can recall any memory from the last war (1980-1988 Saddam-Khomeini war) and this completes the puzzle in their abysmal life under the shadows of radical islamic oligarchs, directing the country into anarchy.

I mostly meant IDF will initiate a counter attack, but your point stands.

Reminds me of a case in which a man was wrongfully declared dead and went to court to reverse the decision. He lost the case the first time

That’s wild! I know stateside the process to no longer be legally dead can take a few weeks, but there is a process!!!

If there was a digital database then yeah but digitalization in Romania is way behind every EU state. At least we can’t get hacked though don’t bring any matches to the archive rooms

It shouldn’t be dependant on digital records. People were being declared legally dead long before computers were around. A few of those people turn up again.
Interestingly- those people who turn back up typically do not get their assets back.

A historical recreation of a similar event.
I wonder, how many clerical errors are there in the Domesday Tome?

Excited for tomorrow. I’ll be starting a new retail job. Unlike the last place I worked at I’ll be getting paid a few dollars above the minimum wage, with new benefits, and other stuff. So I’m looking forward to it.
