Doesn’t she look tired?

Oh, I agree, but this was one on one with someone I trusted, and I know my body pretty well.

We went through the books and talked about each excercise before trying anything. There was a pretty good percentage crossed off because they may have caused more harm than good.

I am certianly not recommending yoga in place of medical treatment, I can only speak to the results I had.

Can’t speak to all yoga, and I specifically avoided the woo woo side of things, but it really did help as far as posture, flexibility, and various chronic joint pain.

The way it was explained to me was that various muscle groups were locked up trying to protect for example, my knee injury, so now my hips, back, shoulder, neck, etc where all out of whack.

The process involved working backward through the various muscles and joints, loosening them up so that we could work on the next group, until I could finally move and strengthen around the original injury.

I haven’t gone for about eight years, but keep up with basic stretching and breathing excercises enough to maintain mobility.

In the end I’m going to require knee surgery to actually fix the root problem.

A friend of mine offered me a yoga lessons.

At the time, my body was in a real bad way from decades of skateboard and snowboard injuries. I had just accepted that this was how things were going to be.

I figured what the hell, it can’t make things worse.

Over the course of about six months, I was able to walk, move, and sleep almost like normal. While it couldn’t fix much of the actual damage, my range of motion greatly increased, I have a lot less headaches and neck pain, and the pain in my joints has greatly diminished.

Now at almost 50, I am back on the boards, though since my landing gear is fucked it’s a much more mellow style of riding.

Mine was a Tandy TRS 80 in the early 80s, which had both a cartridge slot and an audio cassette drive. Most all the programs I had were bootleg tapes though I don’t know where they came from, I’m guessing my father through work.

I can remember a few of the arcade clones, Zaxxon, Pac Man, Donkey Kong with a terrible 8 bit version of in the hall of the mountain king.

The two that stand out were a painting program I learned to glitch by fluttering the reset button while it was doing fills, and an ascii adventure game call Nahga or something similar that felt like the biggest world ever.

One day home sick I was using it and vomited an entire strawberry milk shake on it, it was an all in one unit w built in keyboard, and I messed it up good.

Taking apart and cleaning it was my first experience working on hardware and certianly left an impression in me.

I’ve only done it from the depths like twice. Master key or valley of the drakes all the way.

In a controlled environment, side by side, yes there is a noticable difference.

I work in AV, and have seen the top end stuff for sure. Maybe I’m old and my sight isn’t what it was, but for home use I just don’t care.

With HDR in a dark room w a “properly calibrated” LED I get as good an image as I could want.

If you want the best bang for your buck, in my opinion, you have two options.

One is to go cheap. For personal use I buy Visio displays, and have had nothing but success. I never connect them to the internet, and use my PS4 as my media player.

The other is to buy a commercial grade display. This usually means no media apps at all, but they are designed for 24/7 operation. Look for something advertised as a digital signage display.

As the other poster mentioned, OLED is supposed to have better contrast and black, but I’ve never noticed much of a difference.

Demons souls through Dark Souls 3 I bought, tried, and quickly ended up on my shelf.

Knew they were amazing games, but I just couldn’t figure it out. Always played with a shield, was slow and methodical, and just didn’t get anywhere.

Then I read a post about someone who was having trouble so summoned another player. The summon showed up “Naked with a katana and charged in like a Jedi”.

So I said screw it, and tried a light no shield build. Didnt care how far I got, I just started grinding the early enemies and leveling up. Then it all just sort of clicked.

Got my girlfriend into the games, and we’ve played through them all together, just now finishing on bloodborne.

My cats are the perfect balance of affection, entertainment, and low maintenance.

Dogs are great, but I can leave my cats alone for a long weekend and when I get home, the house is just as I left it.

I always have a couple sansa clip players around for skateboarding and snowboarding. My phone is just too valuable to use in those environments.

I want a small snowboard, like 121 cm, similar to the old rossignol mini, but wide enough for my big ass feet.

I rode the mini for years with my feet pointed outward over 45 degrees and ended up doing a lot of damage to my knees.

I pretty much only snowboard in the midwest US, and want something that feels more like a skateboard.

Why? Do people behave in an unrealistic manner? Like taking precautions, social distancing, wear masks, believing that its real?

We will all go together when we go

Is that for like mirrorop and such? I did not realise that.

Use windows + p to change the presentation settings on a laptop when connecting to a monitor or audio / video system. This lets you quickly change between laptop, dual display, and extended desktop.

Windows + x and then b brings up a menu where you can turn on “presention” mode, preventing the laptop from going to sleep during a presentation.

I am now the client of a company I worked at for over 15 years.

Because I handled a difficult situation leaving well, we still have a very good working relationship.

It’s a very niche industry, and I’ve worked for or with almost all the players in my region. My former employer, while small, is the best at what they do.

I need to sort which ones by me don’t have ads. It’s the jarring audio at 5:30 am when I haven’t had coffee yet that just sours my mood.

If I have legally purchased content or an application, and that content or application is no longer available for some reason, then I feel justified pirating.

A game that requires an online connection but the company took down the servers and won’t release the code for example.

There is no legitimate way for me to use the thing I already bought.

Other than that, I’m just too lazy to do it any more.

When I was young and poor, there was various software I did pirate, but now days there is nothing I need that the company won’t pay for.

Woman I liked borrowed money from me to buy a motorcycle, and in a drunk haze I told her to keep the bike as a valentine’s present.
