Yea, it's really cold and windy. And colder than usual for probably ~60% of the US population. I'm in Central New York, and it's a little chilly for us, but the volume of snow and wind are what makes it less great. My work laptop has been off for a full week now. It's very nice.

It's not my first time with COVID and it definitely took me a bit to recover the first time. Thanks Ants posted:Oh wow I’ve only just seen the weather across most of the US, thought the minus numbers were bad and then I changed to celsius Yeah... it went from like 1c to -31c in less than a day. And the wind chill was pretty bad in places. All while people were traveling for the holidays. RIP.

Losing sense of smell and taste was the worst part of covid for me. I didn't realize how much I enjoy smelling food until it was gone.

My internet has been out for 12 hours. I don’t envy the techs having to fix this. 3000+ folks are out. Also got an email from my gas company to everyone asking to lower our stats to 60f.

It’s -4F in Pittsburgh right now with -21 windchills. It might get as low as -7F with -40 windchills. So far, we’ve broken our last record low temp (-3F) with -5F. I had to open up my closets that are on exterior walls because condensation was forming on the exterior walls. We barely got any snow (maybe like 1.5 inches) but the constant blowing and extra cold temps that are limiting the effect of deicing agents means a lot of the roads are still pretty bad. I holed up today, but i need to drive out to my parents early evening tomorrow. By then it should be a balmy 8F.

It was -40 with the wind chill here yesterday, I have never experienced the kind of cold that brought. I drove to the store (3 miles) and as someone who recently drove through a literal blizzard in the Rockies with the same vehicle it was loving intense. We only got 4 inches but the roads are freezing immediately. Stay safe goons

I've heard that it's super easy to get, pharmacists can prescribe it, etc., but I've tried a bunch of places and they l want a doctor to prescribe and all are saying it's only for high risk people. I think they started to run out so are making it harder to get again. YMMV, etc.

It's easier to get these days if you know where to go. https://hidrb.com/care/primary-care/covid-19 You can lie about when you first got symptoms. Whether you're one day in or twelve, pushing the pause button on viral replication is a boon. Well-read GPs, mine included, are slowly catching on to its utility as a way to defeat a persistent infection weeks or months after having COVID, too.

I got that drug from drb with no issues. But paxlovid really hosed me up bad. Room was spinning at a high rate of velocity for 24 hours after 3 doses. Never again.

My favorite part of this season is shutting off my work phone and laptop and getting low level sauced for 4 straight days. In-laws are here and won't leave my kid alone. I'm gonna take a couple edibles and a nap after dinner.

My (electric) snowblower died a couple days ago. I'd been been thinking of getting a new one, but was hoping to make it through one more season. Then I tried to shovel some of this poo poo and I said "gently caress this" and cleared my driveway and drove to Menards and bought the one I'd had my eye on (also electric). Big upgrade. Oh yeah this is the IT thread. We were closed Friday and at like 6 am my annoying coworker sends me a Slack message with some esoteric git command asking if it's the right way and I'm like I don't know dude, just open a pull request and I'll merge it, you don't need to make it so complicated/
