Good to hear you’re better, but it seems weird that your symptoms weren’t caught earlier. Even a very simple questionnaire like the MADRS has explicit sadness as only one dimension. You would have been asked for lack of initiative/procrastination, stress/anxiety and negative self-talk. Sounds like someone didn’t do their job properly (unless you hid your symptoms from your family doctor or didn’t go, of course).

When I just looked, similarweb had the data for June and they showed a drop in visits of 3.36% and a drop in rank. So something happened - but not much. And that may only reflect the temporary blackout in some subs.

Thats sweet. I’m old school (and hoary), I met my wife on IRC.

As a resident of Scandinavia I knew it was a myth, but I had to look up a source:

Physician here. Sterilise in the strict sense you can’t without an autoclave, but that won’t be necessary. The professional method for disinfecting razors would be a bath in Barbicide, but a good scrubbing with a non abrasive bathroom cleaner and a toothbrush should already take away most bacteria and their hideouts. A few consecutive dips in 75% alcohol after that take away moisture and kill the rest. The razor still won’t be sterile, but it should be good enough.
