OT: Thread About Nothing (TaN #...lost count)

Bad flu. Worst I've ever experienced. Fever, body aches holy shit. Just had the worst 3/4 days of my life. No covid, just a good Old fashioned flu that pretty much knocked me out for the last 4 days.

Body still hurts.

Ah that sucks, hope you feel better soon!

Had you gotten the flu shot? It seems like there's a ton of stuff going around but it's also that time of the year, every home game this season I can hear someone coughing up a lung. I'm surprised I haven't gotten sick yet myself cause of it.

Hang in there. I had the worst flu of my life at 27. Fever for about 10 days felt like crap for 2 full weeks. Just brutal. Stay hydrated and keep your temperature stable. Don’t skimp on medication if you have a bad cough or congestion. You want to avoid a secondary infection.

My worst flu knocked me out for a week when I was 17. Conveniently it was during a weeklong break from school so I got absolutely f***ed in several ways. Thankfully I haven't had an illness be that severe again aside from the first time I had covid, but that only lasted 24 hrs with the peak fever.

No flu shot.

This sucks. I've been sleeping for about 20 hours a day. I sleep, wake, piss, drink some Gatorade, have some chicken broth with saltines then go back to sleep.

It sucks mostly because this is the best part of hunting season there is. The rut is getting going and I'm in bed...I'm strongly contemplating getting up and going in the woods tomorrow morning but I still have 102.6 fever. But who cares, I won't get anyone else sick

Please don't push it. A fever of that magnitude is a sign your body is working very hard to fight the flu virus. You don't need to push yourself especially if it is cold outside. If you pass out in the woods who will know? Just take care of yourself until the worst is over.

There’s something going around here too. My wife, son and I all have something nastier than the usual daycare colds.

Not enough to knock us out for a few days like what Jim has, but definitely slowing us down.

 

[My3Sons]

So there is a new Beatles song coming out tomorrow. Now and Then, which is a reworked John demo that they rescued with modern tech to lift out John's voice and decrease the noise you get on old analog cassette recordings. Probably the last one ever unless Paul lives long enough that Yoko and Olivia are both dead and he can release Carnival of Light. I'm sure you will all be making sure to tune in for the premiere.

the 12 minute short is up...gonna watch it

Love Me Do in 1962.

Now and Then in 2023.

More than 60 years apart.



The song is meh. It's what they had to work with. John did have two other unfinished songs that I think are superior. Not sure why Yoko hung onto them. Still, it's a new Beeatles song. Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame did the music video and said that he was given hours of unseen footage to prepare it. I'd like to see this sort of footage released to the extent it is them playing.

I've had a cough since 06-Oct.

It was bronchitis. But I still can't shake the cough.

Thanks to my job for requiring everybody in the office be present the exact same 3 days of the week. Except for one bout with covid, I haven't been sick for almost 4 years. 2 weeks back in the office (with everyone else there) and i'm sick. I was going in before, but it wasn't really populated.

that's interesting. I hear it but it's more in the vocal inflection than the music to me.

Both Reed and Lennon were about as NY as it gets in the 1970s. I saw Reed open for Peter Gabriel at the Beacon Theatre. Really a wonderful show.

I'll alert the belt buckle stores, the bourbon distilleries, the food additive and chemical processing plants, the gun manufacturers, the ten gallon hat haberdasheries, and the polyester clothing makers that you are returning. I'm sure they will print the flag of Finland on all of it, even the pressed salt pork fried fatback, to entice you to buy it with your Euros.

Yes, i have an extensive US travel plan already mapped out. I need to visit a Dollar General store, eat plenty of Waffle House and drink every Anheuser-Busch product out there!

You and Nemec can indulge in all the worst of what the US has to offer. Make sure you travel to New Orleans so I can take you out for a good cajun dinner. Very spicy and fried and really unhealthy.

OK, the video for Now and Then is out. It's a bit silly in spots but the technology used to clean up old footage is fantastic so it looks great. It gives tremendous context to the song and makes it much more emotional. Really a fantastic finale as well. I know there are still a small number of things that could be released (there is allegedly a very long version of Helter Skelter and of course Carnival of Light and probably a few extra takes of some songs) but it will never be something new the way this was. Truly the end of an era. I guess it's Taylor Swift's turn now.

Who is the long haired guy playing guitar? Is that supposed to be footage of George when he was still alive? No way he looked that old before he died? That's what I'd imagine him to look like if he were living today.

Or did they pull some CGI age progression to make it look like him if he were still here today?

If you mean the guy with the long hair with some of it in a ponytail and scruffy beard playing guitar then yes that was George in 1994.

My god, he looked like he was in his 70s there. He’s not much older in 94 than I am now. Only just a few years. I’d like to think I look nowhere near that bad. And he was even the youngest Beatle.

Ringo doesn’t really age. He doesn’t look like a kid anymore like he did in the 60s, but I feel like he hasn’t aged much in 40 years. You never really see him without his glasses on though. He could have some age under there. And he’s the oldest Beatle.
