Day ten of my isolation and 11 since the symptoms started. My nose feels the clearest it has so but nice i hope I finally get a clear test this afternoon.

Day 9 here, symptoms totally gone, but still pretty positive on test. The missus has no sense of taste left tho which is a bit :smith:

I have a vague memory that "beyond the pale" has some sort of specific iffy connotation but I can't remember why I think that or what the connotation is.

fe: Oh, it has gently caress all to do with anti-semitism. (Ignorance of your Culture is Considered Uncool!)
"The earliest reference ( 1547 ) to the Pale in Ireland as such draws the contrast between the English Pale and the ‘wyld Irysh’: the area beyond the pale would have been regarded as dangerous and uncivilized by the English."

Oh, I'm aware of the Irish etymology ( i.e. the one that's more generally considered the "real" etymology), but as Guav says there have been a few historical Pales and thus chin-stroking concern abounds

Any thread recommendations for streaming services? I've never subscribed to one before, thought about Netflix but there's so many flippin options nowadays and I'm definitely not doing more than one.

There's a whole bunch now. Netflix is probably the best generalist, but if you post what you like to watch you might get a different recommendation. NowTV is surprisingly good for some stuff.

E: also I think you get amazon free if you have Prime shipping? Makes sense for a lot of people and it's a decent service
