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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Appreciate that, I'm sure it will help!

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

 

Returning to clarinet after playing in school 150 years ago. My teacher assigned me Rose Etude No 1, and I'm finding it very challenging! Particularly the fast runs, my fingers seem to have little minds of their own and the notes are not so even. Anyone have any great tips for tackling it?
