@joanna Indeed. My father might like the distraction the butterfly provides, at least it would help him to keep bad thoughts away.
His roommate was not really talkative but could provide some entertainment every now and then.
My father was in rather good spirit. He is getting to the acceptance phase fairly fast, though he is also very keen on getting forward with the recovery (he is especially looking forward to get the prostheses and being able "walk" again). It will be long road ahead, but let's hope he can get there.
@matigo There was another technical difficulty and there was already discussions about replacement service by bus for one leg, but they got that fixed just in time. In the end we were ~30 minutes late.
Traveling by train for the first time in ~5 years. It left on schedule, but rather soon it had to stop due to some technical difficulties in the railway network. Now we are running almost 20 minutes late. I don’t have to be on time, luckily.
The good part of being on holiday is that one does not need to have an alarm to wake one up. Tomorrow, however, I need to wake up at 6:30 in order to catch the train as I will be heading to see my parents.
@hazardwarning Based on the fact that the card works just fine with PayPal and Amazon it seems that the card issuer has implemented only one strong authentication method that is used by those 2 services. It is pure laziness on their end.
@hazardwarning Yeah, right… The card provider is just playing the blame game, App Store has been there for ages and it has had strong authentication for years now. 🙄
@matigo I would guess there is a runaway process somewhere that slows things down. I reboot my laptop every now and then just to ensure that those rogue processes get killed. I know, I should take a proper look at the actual cause, but oftentimes it is Slack and Chrome that the bad actors.
