The flu (a family of viruses which has many strains and genetic variations) has been around a long time and will always be around. The flu shot many people get is generally geared to 3 or 4 strains expected to be the most likely for a season.
There are a lot of viruses and bacteria (germs) that are always around. We deal with them. We have regularly taken vaccines for a number of them that are taken every 1, 2, or 3 years.
So why would the Wuhan virus the CCP gave the world be any different?

Unleashed - Midgard Warriors for Life[^]
The Swedish Unleashed unleashed a new album upon the world!
They're one of the founding fathers of Swedish death metal and it's one of the few death metal bands I can get excited about.
Their 2004 album Sworn Allegiance is still one of my favorite metal albums ever (possibly because of a bit of nostalgia).
The new album is more of the same, but well executed, which is good news for fans of the band.
I've seen them live a few years ago and during their song Death Metal Victory I realized I'd seen them live before, some 12 years earlier
Anyway, a joy on album and on stage... "My warriors scream for me! Death metal victory!"

Not trying to hijack your thread... but, just curious - are you interested in classical music? If yes, what type?

I do enjoy listening to Western Classical music too...
There's a lot of (instruments only) Classical music - both Hindustani (North Indian) and Carnatic (South Indian) that you _may_ like listening to.

I'm watching The Office (USA) on Netflix and just yesterday Andy played that instrument that your nephew is playing
Your nephew is a lot better than Andy though
It reminds me a bit of the Civilization III soundtrack, I wouldn't be surprised if it featured that same guitar-thing.
Good stuff, all in all.

Orbit Culture is one that frequently shows up in my recommendations.
Listened to them a couple of times as well.
Not as good as Fallujah or Rivers of Nihil, but pretty sweet nonetheless

Here's a decent assortment of a different type of music as background to another type of artistic endeavor: Spring 3D - FlyCat

Or it could have been rouge rats...
I wonder how many took 'rogue' as the anagram indicator and tried to make something of STARPROXY.

Was browsing some messages in here just now, and suddenly the page navigated "all by itself". Not too sure what I did, but I did it again; and it navigated again all by itself.
Eventually I noticed that there was a brief blue arrow showing on screen pointing left.
Turns out that if I "swipe left" on my mouse keypad with two fingers at the edge of the Chrome window, it navigates "Back"; similarly if I "swipe right" with two fingers at the right edge, it navigates "Forward". Don't know if this is a Win10 or a Chrome thing.
I'm sure this is something everyone here uses multiple times a minute, but it's new to me. As someone who doesn't use a smartphone this is hardly intuitive. Been using Win10 for years now and only just discovered it.

It doesn't work with mousepads on my surface ...

I am not entirely sure but I think it must be supported by the hardware as a two/three finger swipe/pinch/other gesture. The hardware communicates the action to the driver in the OS. If the hardware does not support it, either nothing will happen even if the OS and drivers support it or a single click will occur.
Your surface (I suppose it is running windows 10 or 11) clearly supports gestures but your mousepad probably does not. The mousepad probably only supports single finger input.
