Might have been a combo.
Will take a while for the results from the PCR to come back, but the LFT was very positive so I don't have any doubts.

Sneaky thing snuck in before the booster had fully powered up.
Having said that, my neighbour and his entire family caught it last week. Their son had it and one by one they went down. All full vaxxed and boosted, and very mild (and in some cases no) symptoms for them.
A doctor over here said they'd had zero deaths from omicron in fully vaxxed people, and I guess that's the goal of the vaccines.

Damn right it is!
It's been clear for quite a while now that we will all get immunity. I prefer to get my immunity from a vaccine.
But even then, this weekend wasn't fun at all.

Is over here in Melbourne or Toronto?

It was somewhere in the Greater Toronto Area but I can't find a reference to the remark unfortunately.

It's the hand to face factor. If it's not too obvious I tend to keep my gloves and eye wear on (with the mask). Door handles, rails, etc. can't be avoided completely.

Jörgen,

Haven't heard from you in a few days. Hope you are feeling well.

Reasonably.
Feeling good in the mornings, but the fever keeps coming back in the evenings.
And I'm so tired still.
The brain fog is what disturbs me most though.
You get used to fever after a while, but the brain doesn't.
Getting better every day though, just to slowly for my taste.

components on pyre have explosions (10)
|

Hmmm,
Can't seem to solve this one. I see a thermopile[^] component in there but it doesn't fit. 
|
|
|
|
|
Well, now I know what a thermopile is.

Herself is a Thermophile, if that helps?
If the temperature is significantly below that required to melt lead, she complains ...

Damnit! I thought of that, but missed the anagram!
Well done!

And give them a day of my current job, for which I am rewieving trigonometry, Fourier transforms, Laplace transforms, studying Clarke's and Park's transforms and generaly banging my head against the whole mathematics syllabus I alread beaten into submission during my Engineering student days (which are long gone and the knowledge faded).

The first thing I learnt about programming, way back in 1986, was the numerical solution of an equation by the Newton-Raphson method. Later on, implemented the computation of Bessel Functions, Hankel Transforms and solution of Integral Equations, all in Fortran.
|
|
|
|
|
That was also my first program, also in Fortran, but 18 years earlier - in 1968.
It was the simple case of finding the square root.
Luckily it worked first time, which encouraged me to continue.

Yes, that was exactly my experience, same year and given the same problem (different college, and possibly a different country).
At the same time we were introduced to the programmable calculator an Olivetti P101 with 240 bytes of RAM and told this was the future so learn to use it. I never did any other exercise on it than solving a quadratic, it kept on breaking down.
After graduating we used HP65's and finally in 1975 my bosses wanted data gathered and pre-processed at the point of data collection (underwater for offshore applications) so it was "Hello" to processors like the Intel 8008 and later the Z80. The electronics module of my physics degree came into play and I had to learn to program in assembler, fortunately I was able to get away with integer arithmetic.
In my experience maths is an integral part of life, saying you don't need maths IMO is like saying you don't need to be able to write - you can get by but what a hindrance.

Mine was Euler angles in Fortran. Part of a program to test inertial guidance units for aircraft. That was nothing but math and physics.

Being not anglophone I tend to mix and match UK and US spelling and pronounciation, sometimes willfully (i.e. I pronounce sKedule instead of sCHedule because it's more intuitive coming from Italian). Add to that the fact that Maths is actually singular in italian... I have a strange writing / speaking pattern.
