It's incredible they could actually think anyone would believe such juvenile horseshit nowadays.
Didn't the IDF state that Hamas were beheading babies without any actual evidence.
It's still being used as a justifiable reason for the current slaughter and being quoted as fact.

ChatGPT keeps asking if I'm a bot today. The fucking nerve.
In case anyone's wondering why sites do this, considering how easy it would be for a bot to detect and click the box, apparently the test is how the mouse pointer is moved. Bots currently find it difficult to mimic how cack-handed and slow humans are.
Wait until touch screen technology is invented.

Do not see the point. I can do everything on a normal cooker.
You'll be saying you don't have an air fryer next.

According to media reports, the Israeli airforce could be about to launch an imminent attack on Iran.
I'd hope that the US and UK will shoot them down to prevent the whole crisis from escalating.

Is this a woman thing in general or am I just ridiculously unlucky?
When I was at home my mum would do this and my Mrs does exactly the same thing - if they are making the tea they shout "Tea's ready" so I'll go through to the kitchen to collect it only to be met with her either still dishing up or the food still in the oven/air fryer. So I'm left standing there waiting because if I go in I get moaned at for getting in the way when it's getting dished up. On the flipside, if I wait for a few minutes after being told tea's ready I'm then constantly shouted until I go through
I generally do the cooking in my house and that's how I behave.
It's a hint to come through and set the table, pour the wine/open a beer for the chef.

If the case is strong enough why have the condescending images and dreadful music to try and back up the claims. Cringeworthy effort.

I’ve been off work for a year (back soon) and it has been absolute bliss. Really made me determined to get out of work as soon as possible. The escape plan starts now.
Major problem when maths doesn't work, I would have thought.

My wife's chronic sinusitis is now possibly chronic facial pain syndrome according to a retired ENT specialist.
Basically no cure, no proper pain relief and she'll just have to live with it.

Nice. I Googled it and you were right. I'd been conned by some fakery.
Here's what a Penguin mouth really looks like.

I had sinusitis and took antibiotics for it a few weeks ago but am still having pressure in my sinuses, vertigo, migraine, nausea etc. Not a nice feeling and a proper pain in the ass.

My other half is about to go into her eighth week of sinusitis and being off work, she works in Dundee.
I've also had far less severe symptoms since before Christmas. Fortunately not debilitating in my case.

My memory of it is that "long covid" was being pointed out as being Post Viral Fatigue from the get go.
The only reason PVF after Covid was (and still is) being given a specific name was because Covid was framed as something new and unlike anything else, long after it became clear it was just another in the long line of respiratory viruses.
Which, tbf, the article appears to highlight.
Not disagreeing with any of that.

Ah, my error in how that was written.
It's an opinion, I should have stated "I get the feeling that plenty of poster..."
Apologies for not making that clearer.

Are you querying whether post-viral fatigue exists, Covid doesn't lead to some people having it or posters on here don't believe that Covid can cause it?

Apparently today is “Long COVID awareness day”, which makes this article perfectly timed.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/mar/15/long-covid-symptoms-flu-cold
tl;dr - “long COVID” does exist, but it’s essentially no different to any other post-viral fatigue. So it should stop being called “long COVID” because it suggests there’s something different or special about it, when there’s currently no medical evidence this is the case.
It’s a very fair and balanced take, I think. I doubt anyone (sensible) would deny that post-viral fatigue exists, and given the prevalence of COVID it’s not surprising if more people than before have/had it. But if the symptoms are no different to any other post-viral fatigue, it doesn’t make sense to give it its own name. Indeed, doing so has the effect of trivialising the long-term effects of other viruses.
Spot on on post-viral fatigue existing, plenty posters on here don't believe it happens with Covid though.

I'm pretty slow a car maintenance but I'd be able to do front pads in an hour with shite tools, double checking my work and having to jack up a corner at a time.
Correct tools and know-how and £96 sounds about right in the non-ripoff market. Guessing that's £37.50p/h plus vat and 2 hours work. That's what my garage charges anyway.
In the ripoff market you're possibly well north of £150 per hour plus VAT.
