Dude do it. I dealt with chronic pain for way too long and just accepted it as hopeless. I had tried stretches and exercises on my own with no luck so I wrote physical therapy off as pointless.

Eventually I gave in and 6 weeks in to physical therapy my pain is like 80% gone. I started noticing improvements after a week.

The problem with non-generic frozen pizza is they cost like a dollar less than a real pizza. Some of the fancier ones cost even more than a pizza from the place right next to the grocery store. Maybe I’m just blessed living in the pizza sphere but even the best frozen pizza is fucking disgusting next to even mediocre real pizza.

There’s so much irony in this comment it cured my anemia

Similar age, noticing the same. It never used to matter. Although I also used to have jobs where I was on my feet all day so I’m not sure what is aging and what is living a sedentary life. I usually have a handful of almonds in the afternoon and that’s fine. Also avoiding afternoon coffee seems to help.

But I’ve started walking for a half hour before work and after a couple weeks, I feel like I have more energy in general.

This feels like an ice 9 situation

Interesting. I still use the 360 controller on my PC because that thing is a tank. Basically indestructible. But my One controllers are garbage. The plastic was so badly formed I got aftermarket grips because it was constantly pinching my hands. It also feels like I could twist it in to pieces with by hand. The Series X controller fails to live up to the 360 but it feels significantly more solid and the pieces at least fit together.

Dawn doesn’t seem to dry out my hands like Palmolive or every other dish soap. I think they all work good enough but I hate the way they make my hands feel.

This community makes more sense when you realize the majority of users are CS students.

I guess to some extent. I have a bunch of accounts across instances and sh.itjust.works is the only one that didn’t have excessive down time or other problems when I first came over so I kept using this account. I haven’t touched the other ones in a while.

So I definitely appreciate them living up to their name. I wouldn’t leave without a good reason. But if it started being down all the time I would probably leave. I guess that’s pretty soft loyalty.

So we won’t decompose or stick to things. Where’s the downside?

Exercise lowers your resting heart rate

When I first joined, I hopped around instances and tried out a bunch. But eventually I settled on this one and I haven’t logged in to any other account in a while. I probably count as like 5 inactive users. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a lot of that.

Posts are going up pretty steady, that matters more.

The company he’s synonymous with is very much not controversy free

It’s a site that sells things. Someone looked at Google analytics and saw that the term “heel counter” gets searched a lot. It’s a topic that requires like 2 sentences to explain but Google rewards lengthy articles that have the magic phrase the most times. So some SEO “expert” ends up writing a lengthy article about something mundane and easy to explain and then wedges the word “heel counter” in to it as many times as possible. Which makes it read weird as shit if you don’t know what’s going on.

If you Google heel counter, this is the first result for a reason.

Go to the hardware store and buy a metal pipe to use as a walking stick

Yeah you’re the kind of anecdote they’re warning about

We had considered moving from our high cost of living area to a cheaper state but ultimately didn’t because of our young kids. We’re squeezed pretty hard here and we could all live very comfortably on my salary in another state. But I couldn’t find a place with remotely acceptable schools. And who would our kids friends be? Very worried about the influence of their peers, raised by racist homophonic garbage.

And beyond maternal care, healthcare in most “affordable” states is just bad. We have the best healthcare system in the country where we’re at. What if we move to a state in the bottom third of the country and one of us got sick? The healthcare stories from rural America are very chilling.

And then once the kids grow up, what do they do then? No jobs, no decent higher education, lots of heroin, etc. Their options will likely be leave or fail unless something dramatically changes in the next decade. This might not really apply to Texas or the southwest but I’m on the east coast.

They’re still an absurdly huge burger at every Burger King near me in the US. The suit is alleging they’re smaller than the advertisements. Not sure what OP is talking about but one thing I’ve noticed about BK is they are wildly inconsistent from location to location so it might be even more regional.

This seems like an Amazon ad. Calibre is still the best option.
