Heh-heh, good on you to spin it on him. The stuffier they are, they easier they fall.

Hah no, the bot comparison was just a reminder to me to that there is often enough a human on the other side of the screen.

Anything new? I'm hoping it's just a fainting spell you had. I recall about a decade ago I admitted myself to hospital after I fainted 10 times in a row that morning. Tests founds nothing, I was discharged 2 days later. Nothing since.

So far tests have found only my bank account. <blinks>

I'm not surprised. I've seen my dad run down numerous medical rabbit holes that were as pointless as they were expensive. I've lived through what seems like dozens of health-related, allegedly medical-science-backed fads - sometimes reversals of previous fads (e.g. regarding eggs, salt, meat, carbs).

Not a whole lotta trust in this boy when medical theories come out to haunt.

And, of course, not adhering to the beliefs of others on such matters can be paramount to coming off as somewhere between careless and insane.

The main matter of focus these days is whether or not to become gainfully employed again. Being so-called "retired" just isn't working for me. I apparently need to be driven from without by someone acknowledging accomplishment with a paycheck. Decades of habit, I guess.
