Gawd, I know it happens more often in women but my husband had a nasty recurring UTI for a few months - they absolutely took it seriously and treated him! WTF, I hope you manage to get treated. ETA: UK

Preying on young women and young men. Probably being enslaved and trafficked is worse for the women than it was for the young men dragged into his sphere of influence. Thoroughly evil man.

To me it feels like discovering rn in the 1980s. I hope it stays that way!

I'm a little older than you and share your opinions.

I recently tested out our system for reporting problems anonymously. It was utter crap. Raised to my boss who is C-level, I don't know, I think it's intended to be utter crap. Sometimes I just feel like I'm trying to nail jelly to a tree.

Thanks, nice to be here!

I like this place, and could willingly waste my time in it! --William Shakespeare, As You Like It

Thanks for this, I just read that scene yesterday evening. Clamavi de Profundis gets it just right - give me chills.

Appreciate that, I'm sure it will help!

Thanks for setting up this nethack community! I play nethack and variants, currently trying not to splat an orc ranger in grunthack.

Play on a public server - someone else gets to deal with that! :D

You are so right! Nethack is an unforgiving master, and it will have you in the end no matter how smart you think you are.

If you're going to splat on astral, make it spectacular!

I've had so many, it's hard to choose. Probably my most stupid, self-inflicted, I-totally-deserved-it-too YASD was when I hatched a couple of baby silver dragons, lovingly raised them to adulthood, then decided to callously kill them for their scales. Except I used a wand of death. I didn't have reflection. They did.

Yes, I know I'm a horrible person for even attempting to do that. I have paid.

This is not scientific but cranberry juice - lots of it. Make sure it's got decent actual cranberry content (Ocean Spray is good and iirc in the US you can get some pretty decent frozen concentrate which is cheaper.) If you have a mild infection it might even make it go away, but as you are seeking treatment it's probably not mild. It may make you feel a bit better though, UTIs are bloody uncomfortable so whilst the system mucks about with your health, you can try to treat yourself as best you can. All the best.

Nice video. The instrument has a sweet tone.

Another brilliant effort from Clamavi de Profundis (meaning of their name: A Cry from the Deep) The Song of Beren and Luthien: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11_aneHVaz8

So the guy gets no care because the system is not fit for purpose?
