What a gem. 2560x1440 resolution, 60 fps, razor sharp focus. Needs a book but it'll be several weeks before I'll be able to start serious work on it....

Responding publicly a bit late to a 2021/07/28 23:38:26 UTC PM from miguel... I still have a pulse, thanks. And hope you and our other team members are doing as well as possible.

Based upon the total crap I'd gotten from my dermatologist I'd written off the bleach treatments as just more snake oil they were using to keep me off their backs for another six months.
