I do as of 4 days ago. Unfortunately, the one set of tests that my doctor ran when this all started didn't reveal the source, so it was assumed it was just a touch of stomach flu or something.

This is getting tiresome.

You haven't switched to eating foods with sugar substitutes, have you? Even something innocent like yogurt or coffee creamer with sucralose wreaks havoc on my intestines.hepcat wrote:If that doesn't turn up anything, I'm making an appoint with a gastroenterologist.
Clearly there are several possibilities as to whats causing your issues but from my own perspective its sounds a lot like a diverticulitis flare up due to intestinal infection.hepcat wrote:I do as of 4 days ago.

You'd think that would bother me. Not so much. My mother bringing over a (The?) Bible for me to read before surgery and during recovery. That freaks me out a little. One of two people in the world I don't want to disappoint for no other hidden agenda other than I don't want to disappoint them and those conversations make me really uncomfortable.MHS wrote:Isg, your sig in light of this whole conversation is freaking me out.Isgrimnur wrote:

I hate phones.

I'm not aware of how things work in the modern world, but historically you only had about 3 kHz of bandwidth on a phone line, and that more or less kills music.Paingod wrote:Why is hold music so terrible in so many places?

I'm guessing that's because it hits close to home and what I love, but it still seems irrational.
The gunman in a murder-suicide at the University of California Los Angeles was a graduate student who apparently nursed long-simmering hostility toward the victim, his former engineering professor, who he accused of stealing his computer code, according to police and local media reports.
The gunman was identified Thursday as Mainak Sarkar, an engineering graduate student, according to Officer Jenny Houser, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Police Department. The victim was identified as William S. Klug, 39, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering engineering.

The motive remained unclear although police said they would focus on Sarkar's grades and a "longer-standing" poor relationship between the two men, KABC-TV reports.
If I had to guess, I'd say it's less today. Regardless, maybe 8bit music would work better. Or someone could come up with music that sounds better at such low bandwidth. Touch tone music maybe?Fretmute wrote:I'm not aware of how things work in the modern world, but historically you only had about 3 kHz of bandwidth on a phone line, and that more or less kills music.Paingod wrote:Why is hold music so terrible in so many places?

No, a standard POTS landline is is still a nominal 4 kHz channel with a 3.1 kHz passband (300-3400 Hz). Things get can get dicier for non-speech waveforms, like music, depending on exactly how the audio traverses the telecomms infrastructure to arrive at your ear. If it stays on a POTS network, the worst that happens to it is the basic analog-to-digital sampling errors when it is encoded, but if (for example) you're using a cell phone then it will have been re-encoded with a lossy speech codec, probably using a vocoder algorithm that actually synthesizes the output iaw a human speech model rather than conveying the original waveform. It's possible for a system to accommodate non-speech signals at the interfaces where the audio is re-encoded, but I doubt that it is going to be done for something like music (as opposed to, say, dealing with an audio modem signal).LawBeefaroni wrote:If I had to guess, I'd say it's less today.

It looks like sloppy editing, perhaps a copy/paste fumble while attempting to change "mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering" into "mechanical and aerospace engineering" or something like that.Anonymous Bosch wrote:Is "aerospace engineering engineering" a thing, or just another example of slipshod journalism?
