  1. TIL: RJ11 (old telephone cord) cables will plug into RJ45 (ethernet) plugs and connect the middle 4 lines. This is extremely useful in case you want to wire up old phone lines and you happen to have ethernet-oriented parts that are plentiful, cheap, and still manufactured.

    Totally unrelated: have any fellow weirdos wired up an analog (POTS) phone system in their house, to use for local* calls?

  6. CW: medical, glp1 (~ozempic) for medical reasons, pots, sibo

    I had my appointment with the specialist today, to follow up on POTS and SIBO.

    I walked out with 4 new appointments for tests etc, possible medications in the future, but nothing new for immediately.

    • new sibo test. I dread to hear that I have to do the full diet again, but I'm not eating normally and I'm bloated constantly.
    • glucose monitor. You know those thingies that people with diabetes wear on their arm? I'm also going to get one (I think). So this is not only for diabetes but also for other metabolic issues.
    • vagus nerve stimulation machine session. or something. And then if it works well I take the machine home with me.
    • blood test duh of course why not.

    We discussed the option of glp-1 medication. That's the ozempic type of shit. Apparently it also has anti-inflammatory properties so that's interesting actually. Too bad it's such a contentious topic.

  9. Happened on these cleaned pots and pans today at the "chauki" kitchen (where they prepare the offerings) in #Udupi Krishna Matha. Some of the pots, especially the copper ones, are decades old. 🍯

  18. 🆘 Een vriendin van mij heeft hoogstwaarschijnlijk ook post/long-covid met POTS en PEM. Ze wordt van het kastje naar de muur gestuurd en als er al hulp is (zoals een kliniek), dan kan ze dat bij lange na niet betalen (want armoede). Van al dat geregel is ze elke keer dagen van slag. De hittegolf van laatst voelde voor haar alsof ze aan het doodgaan was. Ze kan het huis ook niet koel krijgen, wat ze ook doet (incl. airco). Mogelijk nieuwe hittegolf kan echt fataal worden.

    Ze vraagt nu vooral iemand die met haar kan nadenken over wat te doen. Ik zelf heb er geen verstand van en kan alleen praktische dingen doen. Dus als mensen ideeën hebben, laat het me weten. Ja dit is een hulpvraag. 😢 🙏🏻

    Volkskrant: *Nergens plek voor ernstig zieke postcovidpatiënten: ‘Ik voel me een onbestelbaar postpakketje’*

    "Linda Nugteren (39) en Nicole van Keulen (45) hebben allebei al ruim vijf jaar ernstige postcovid. Ze hebben 24 uur per dag zorg nodig, maar er is nergens plek omdat hun ziekte formeel niet blijvend is."

  25. Finland’s last analogue landline phones go silent after 150 years.

    Finland’s last landline call has been made as the Nordic country becomes the latest to retire copper-wire phones in favour of fibre.

    Estonia, the Netherlands, Norway and Spain have already made the jump as countries across the world roll out fibre optic cable that can handle both internet services and voice calls.

  28. The 17 minutes refers to a passive standing test. The former elite athlete was diagnosed with POTS, with treatment resulting in a return to full function.

    Unfortunately treatment for orthostatic intolerance is often less successful.
