If I don’t see it on Lemmy, my parents usually let me know.
No don’t worry they are progressives so it’s almost always NPR or local.
woah holy shit a bio?

Yikes. So this isn’t about me, it’s about 4 people who had lumbar or sacrum disc bulges/ruptures. Also over different points in time where medicine advanced.
First was a music conductor about 22 years ago, 35-40 y/o. He opted for the surgery at the time. Full quick recovery. At the time it was about 50/50 for full recovery, or worsening of the issues.
Second was a family member about 21 years ago, ~40 y/o he opted out of the surgery for deep steroid injections and physical therapy. It took about a year and a half, but it resolved, and no problems since.
Third was about 12 years ago. Again early 40s, opted for surgery. Surgery was a success, but didn’t resolve it nearly as quickly or as well as the first person.
Fourth was ~6 years ago, late 20s. Long history of back problems do to sports related compressions when she was younger (she was a ‘flyer’ in cheerleading). She was told she’d be an excellent candidate for the newest minimally invasive technique, but opted out of surgery and got the injections like the second person. However it did not, and has not resolved. She still refuses the surgery. It limits her ability to bend over, and get to the ground, still has pain and sciatica. She regularly sees a chiropractor (against the recommendations of everyone).
I think, nowadays, a good orthopedic doctor will be able to give you the best care. It’s not fun, but it doesn’t need to be as scary as it used to be. Plus the symptoms can always get worse. You’re doing the right thing and listening to your body.
While I understand this, are you referring to freeways only?
Or do you include any street with a > 30 mph speed limit regardless if I need to be in the left lane for the stoplight in 1.5miles?
It’s almost always safer to sit in that lane when it’s busier than changing lanes ever last minute
Man those migraines sure feel like a little extra space up there would sure fucking help though.
Doesn’t have to be deep just given enough room for the pressure to even out right?
I’ve never had that, but I have IBS-C and can see exactly how the pain could get that bad. Please tell me they corrected whatever caused it.
Testicular torsion, left untreated for a minimum of 12 hours when I started puking from the pain, that’s when I got to the ER. Some anti-nausea and morphine through an IV got me into a ultrasound when the motherfucking resident found the twist and made sure I was on an active dose of morphine and tried to untwist it without anesthesia. Jesus fucking lord Christ in hell, nothing can’t undo that pain. (Cue 17 years later I discovered it helped me develop PTSD ).
Right up there was a pneumothorax where the ketamine didn’t work and the pain meds were pretty shit when they put in the emergency chest tube. You know, scalpel through skin, muscle whatever is between ribs and plueral cavity. I was tripping balls so I felt the stabbing while I left my body and observed getting cut into (probably from the mirror light above me). Also contributed to PTSD I learned.
Not so bad as those but still almost made me puke from pain was an EMG on my hand to diagnose how bad my carpal tunnel was. The neurologist went straight for a nerve I guess and is was a lightning bolt of pain that didn’t stop until he took the needle out.
You’re probably thinking now “Jesus you’ve probably got a high pain tolerance” and no, quite the opposite actually. Prior to some intense therapy, pain in any amount always led to panic attacks, as my brain had made a leap from pain = bad to pain = literally dying.
Oooooo neat!
This is grade AA, top tier shitpost which means over analyzing is my specialty.
First I read it as “Ghost of Chris Pratt” and the answer is yes, it would be a normal ghost.
Then I read it correctly as Ghost of Christmas Past, and my answer is - maybe, but the ghost is able to bring the victim into events of their past lives, I think he could take Pac-Man back to a time where he ate a ghost that he didn’t realize what he had done, make him regret eating ghosts and prevent the ghost of Christmas past from being eaten at all.

I’ll be honest, a lot of the explanations here sound like bullshit marketing talk when what it probably is the cooking chemicals they use.
I start cleaning my guns
I was discussing this with a friend. We came to the conclusion that “entrepreneur” means “unskilled, uneducated and unable to work” and that the harder a product is marketed, the more worthless it is.
Which probably means a lot of corporations that have Intel inside their everyday computers may be less than enthusiastic about what they spent money on.
As the OP said, get a job outside of tech.
The biggest research hospitals employ electronic engineers, software engineers, chemical engineers, physicists, statisticians, network engineers, sysdamins, etc.
Insurance companies? Auto industry? Power companies, pharmaceuticals, local governments etc. The best part about being a STEM is that you have a place everywhere. You just gotta be willing to bend your expectations until you find something that fits you.
And here’s where I say - what does an executive actually do? And someone will inevitably say something asinine about “risk” and “game changing decisions” and “meeting with investors.”
What is it with accountants being chosen as CEO? Like if you were a competent accountant, you should be CFO, and the CEO is someone who knows what the fuck the company sells and how it profits, which I can guarantee you has never been a competent accountant.
I think this vote proves that the easy flow of information is what those in power want to prevent. Can’t make money with people being too well informed.
How do you people sit with anything in a back pocket
Also how do you people keep shit in the same pocket? Hell usually everything ends up in the opposite pocket I first put it in anyway
