Tall desk jockey, heavy walker. Not trying to diagnose, but I learned from experience that weak abdominal activation caused over compensation in the lower back to an extreme degree. Went from zero back pain, to plenty during covid, back to relatively little. Yoga, walking and lifting to improve core strength helped. Could it be something like that?

I have 3 separate series going, all being cycled through. I just bought another Agatha Christie book today because I’m an addict to never completing what I’ve started

I feel it necessary to point out that the Navy does water warfare. Maybe they think these are the new boats?

I didn’t see this in the comments. You said you had a good relationship with the project lead - can you just ask about it casually from the perspective of product improvement? Not make a big deal of it but just a “hey I noticed you said sex instead of gender. That’s a thing that might raise an eyebrow (or something to that effect)”.

If you’re doing QA, there’s nothing wrong with asking a question about a choice someone made. Full disclosure: I don’t work in this industry, I don’t know anything about content vs. voiceover.

I know it doesn’t solve your “should I do this” dilemma, just a thought on an alternative approach 😊

Very much this. I know many an individual that restarts from scratch in their 30s, the fact OP is established already is a great sign of things to come

But… but… But… That’s not what the hats say!!

Looking forward to seeing you round here, eh!

Typical indicators of headlessness may include inability to think clearly, vertigo, deaf- or blindness, and in serious cases, death.

If you think you’re experiencing headlnessness, gesture wildly towards the doctor’s office to a friend. If you are also experiencing armlessness, please press #2.

+1 for natural fabrics wherever possible. In my experience, they are almost always better for day to day wear, and I live in a COLD climate

I want to bandwagon onto this comment, as I fully agree. Buy timeless and good quality clothing.

I’m not overly trendy, but I always dress well. If you’re not interested in chasing trends, make it so you can dress well without paying attention. A few high quality t-shirts, several pairs of good (maybe even expensive) jeans and/or chinos, a couple of jackets/blazers to step it up. Some dress shirts and some accessories (belts, shoes, etc). Some of the best pieces I have are old fashions: houndstooth, solid colors, plaids of various styles, and etc.

I would also advocate for supporting sustainable, or at least local, clothing companies as much as possible, but that’s a personal value.

Finally, don’t chase fashion. I had a modelling coach once who gave me the most important piece of clothing advice I’ve ever received: it’s not what you’re wearing, it’s how you feel wearing it. If you feel good, you’ll stand a little taller, smile a little more easily, and bring your best self to meet the world. I was wearing a $20 Walmart blazer. Just some food for thought. Good luck and have fun with it!

Oh dude no, it’s a headache! I wrote to them once and they said it was an issue with the balance plate/sensor.

Apparently the quick fix is to click the bottom center of the trackpad 5x, then test it (I do so by clicking top corners). I find it hit and miss haha. Going inside, you can adjust the placement of that plate, but I never found that useful.

Did you notice if it seemed to improve a bit with time?

Secret good guy MS - get everyone onto Linux and tank their stock price 😂

I can speak to longevity - I have a gen 1, batch 2 (humble brag?) - and absolutely love it. Got me to switch over to linux, and the quality is there. Minor gripe about the trackpad sticking intermittently, and had to have the hinges replaced (both known issues, resolved). 10/10 great laptop

Great, thank you I’ll go digging!

Ah, good gift! Sounds like they have some staying power haha

Can I ask where you came across such a thing? The only ones I’ve ever seen are from drop.com

I adore the wheel of time. First fantasy series I ever chewed through (and then waited about 5 or 10 years for publishing lol). Very happy for you, kudos!

The conspiracy theorists were right! There is a real deep real (e)state!

No, you-da-cots!

Not sure what it means but I presume a compliment of some kind!

Nah I think you got it. Veiling art as hostile architecture is fairly common so I think the artist lead took over and they forgot the intent of ruining someone’s ability to sleep haha
