    When I went to the doctor because of an ear infection, she told me my ears are too clean (that is, that she can tell I regularly use q-tips to clean my ears). I've been trying not to do so as often, but I can feel the wax and dirt accumulating and it drives me nuts.

    I also remember the concerns that it was easier to make money by being a financier than by making and selling things ... which is not a good thing by any means.

      https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/01/america-supply-chain-shortages [www theguardian com] Seen in the trees. This is all stuff that we knew could happen since at least the 1990s. I remember when industry leaders were praising "lean manufacturing", in which their supplies would be delivered just in time and their production would modulate to fit demand, so that inventories would be a thing of the past. Others were pointing out that if your supplier is halfway across the country, there's always going to be some risk of delayed shipments ... and that therefore, it would always be necessary to hold inventory. Some were pointing out that large companies tend to be inflexible and unresponsive, and that the existence of smaller, more nimble (and more local) competitors was essential to US competitiveness, even if that meant that products and services cost a little more.

    K sent me some expensive looking fragrance in a tiny bottle.

    I don't know if he's trying to tell me something about my aroma.

    Did a speed test.

    * 1800kbps down, 25Mbps up
    * with VPN, about 750kbps down, 24Mbps up.

    I may just hotspot on my phone for a while.
