Smoked fish may also be acceptable, in a pinch.

The caveat is that because I'm mostly bedridden right now (walking and turning on the lights are both intensely painful) these measurements are with my phone thermometer, which is not medical grade equipment. that said, as I indicated, my phone almost without exception reads 97.4 normally.

it's been around 99.5 for a few hours, which isn't necessarily fever if I understand it correctly, but is noticably higher than my usual temperature of 97.4.

whelp, thermometer has me at 100.1f. guess that makes sense.

I didn't immediately identify today's symptoms as a migraine because when I got them regularly they always had aura and today has lacked that (a serious mercy) but this is about as sick and incapacitated as I have felt at any point in the last six years, and that includes COVID.

I got incapacitating aural migraines almost daily in middle school, to the point that certain classrooms were almost a direct ticket to the nurse's office, and it's honestly unclear to me if I grew out of those or if the primary triggers (florescent lights and CRTs) just became much rarer.

pretty sure overhead florescents in the comic book shop are the reason I've been out of commission for most of the day with what I think is a novel-to-me form of migraine and this has highlighted how grateful I am that devices with 60hz flicker (CRTs, CFLs, T2-17s) have become mostly obsolete.

It's good that Joss Whedon is no longer directing these movies as it is good that his career has functionally come to a close, but there have to had been options to replace him who were at least *kind of* comparable in skill level at writing or direction.

If you treat this new version of Endgame as a discrete movie, the Russo Brothers will have the honor of directing the five worst Avengers movies instead of just four.

I mean if that's the only copy you have, even a DVD would be an upgrade. But I'm assuming tapes are serving as much as a collectible as an actual way to watch something, where a 4K Blu-ray is still "disc, but better".

there's a great reason to spend money on entertainment (upgrade your DVDs to Blu-rays)

both, but the former to a greater degree than the latter.

I'm sure others could give you more substantial suggestions but OP's five minutes statement is right, you can get the broad strokes just looking at Escriva's Wikipedia article.

The idea that Escriva could in any way be thought to have lived a life of virtue.

You can't retroactively say that someone authoritatively declared as saved wasn't, just as you can't retroactively say that a marriage declared invalid actually did occur. You're right, it's not diffirent, although the level of authority involved is of a diffirent degree.

Yeah I don't think you can discard a canonization and declare someone damned but you could certainly suppress their cult and express regret over elevating his cause.

incredibly evil canonization and an objective scandal to the faithful regardless.

yeah I think they've repeatedly established force choke (which is, effectively, what B is) as a dark side technique.

They don't need to reverse it, they can just pack it with their own guys when they're in power.
