Last time I went through airport security the TSA took my cane from me and made me stand clutching the arm of a stranger while they xrayed me (or whatever that scan is). It was humiliating, and I’m lucky my knee didn’t give out during that ordeal.
On my first leg of the trip they gave me a wooden cane that was entirely too tall, but that was definitely better than not having one at all
I have no idea what this is called, since I’m still new to Apple, but iPad has a handwriting correction feature in its Notes app. I recently had surgery on my dominant arm, so that feature really came in handy for taking notes at uni. I write in cursive with some mixed symbols and it’s able to handle that.
Maybe when going for a mini laptop you can try finding a tablet that also allows for a Bluetooth keyboard, this way you get practice writing by hand but can swap to keyboard after some time.
Alternatively, you could try the Pomodoro method while writing. I find it helps when my adhd is too stronk
I’m guessing that’s a typo given he died in 2019?
My dog smells my car bumper on days I’ve been out, so I assume she thinks I’m taking the car for a walk
From personal experience knowing someone who posted that stuff just to get a reaction out of people: he was beat by his dad (who then divorced his mom because she produced “that”) and was severely bullied in high school. It’s not an excuse, he just desperately wanted the world to feel as miserable as he did.
He showed me a video of someone being shot in the head once. Mind you, I’m the kind of person that breaks down when I accidentally run over an animal or hear a bird splat on a high-rise window. He thought it was okay to show me without my consent because the guy lived, but didn’t understand that violence, pain, and disfigurement are just as traumatizing as death.
He diagnosed himself with Anti-social PD while taking a psychology class, take that however you wish
I’ve disconnected the doorbell at every place I’ve lived in the last 10 years. If I’m expecting you I’ll be waiting and opening the door for you, everyone else can leave a message or find a different way to contact me
That might be the one thing that forces congress to act on Trump tbh. They could weather tariffs because it barely affected them. Dropping the bottom out of the dollar will affect them
There’s a Native American phrase that is a morning greeting, but it means “you survived the night”
I have sometimes wondered if the shooter heard what Kirk was saying when he took the shot
It’s very easy to make with a mold, and you can add any fillings you like
Wikipedia says their minimum monthly salary is about $116, $7 is about 16% of that.
Yeah, that’s still insulting lol
Horizon: Forbidden West because the story,music, voice acting, and gameplay really pulled me in. I felt a lot of emotions that I hadn’t felt in a long time because of this game. When it ended I felt like I was losing something dear to me lol
Baldurs Gate 3 left me wishing for more, but that is entirely because the third act was so damn rushed compared to the rest of the game.
I’d rather they eat me than starve. If I died tonight it would probably be a few weeks before anyone noticed
I have some Ruffwear boots that I pair with socks for my dog. I got them six years ago, so I’m not sure how the quality holds up now but I still use the boots every year in Montana. I will say I found their sizing guide to be true to size!
I only own one Nintendo game on my Switch. I’m not going to sit here and pretend most of my games run great on it though. Slay the Spire and Stardew run well. But I’ve had quite a few crashes with Civilization and some hangs with Hades or Hollow Knight too
The other reason for the surgery was actually to look for reasons I’m in pain, like adhesions or other evidence of endometriosis. I have nexplanon and haven’t had a period in several years, yet still have cyclical intense pain
My ob ordered an mri after we learned the surgery was canceled, maybe that will give us the evidence we need to move forward with surgery again
A lot of us using VA Healthcare get disability compensation. Do you know how much more the VA pays if you go from 0 children to one on 100%? Less than $100/mo
I was scheduled to be surgically sterilized in two weeks, because I was afraid of exactly this direction after the VA secretary issued a statement saying single women could be refused treatment by VA doctors. The VA canceled my surgery 🙃
Bandcamp is what my bands like to use. They often have events (Bandcamp Fridays) where 100% of purchases go to the artists. Some bands also make decent money off merch sales from their own storefronts
This is epigenetics, changes to a genome via stress and environment that are passsed to offspring. We’ve known for a while that older men have children with autism or schizophrenia more often than young men, and investigating the cause and mechanism like they have in this study will help people have healthier children in the future.
The type of RNA that are involved in this study are regulatory, which means they can help or prevent gene activity, and are very important in the development of an embryo because the egg doesn’t have this in abundance like the sperm does
