I’ll tell you how. My company has been moving to solutions developed and/or hosted in EU for privacy reasons, but at the same time continue to go deeper and deeper into M$ ecosystem because the management believes XYZ product sounds cool and/or works better than the alternatives we’re using. I’m just waiting for this circus to fall apart.

Yeah, I think my sense of smell in general has never returned in full capacity. I think it’s slightly weaker. Crazy stuff.

On a serious note, COVID isn’t the only virus that can cause loss of smell (permanent or temporary). I lost it before COVID for a month or so, and it took some time for it to return completely. But to this day, there are still certain chemical smells (like deodorants in spray) that smell a tiny bit off to me.

One of my family cats is currently at the end of her life due to kidney disease. It really sucks, glad they’re doing something about it. Now if only they could do the same for dogs.

Not all. Jumping spiders and wolf spiders took all the good eyes and ran away with them.
