TIL: Stretching probably doesn't reduce injury

static stretching is for cool down & recovery, with the goal of increasing mobility when you're already warm and loosened up.

dynamic warmups, especially in your specific problem areas (knees/shoulders), will help prevent pain and injuries.

Red, White and Blue

for everyone in this thread defending Afroman, saying that one picture with Trump was just a photo-op during his presidential run and doesn't reflect his values, I'd urge you to read this article about a song he really wanted to sing at Trump rallies.

Afroman Explains His New Song: Hunter Got High

I think the takeaway here is that while he may not be a full blown facist, he's willing to align with them to make a buck, which is kinda the main issue with the US gov right now.

Those that sleep in bed with a significant other, how do you deal with snoring?

I snore pretty loudly, have since I was a kid. doctors told me I have "overdeveloped adenoids" and pretty much always will. it doesn't bother me, but for my partner's sake, I've tried a few things.

nasal strips didn't really do anything. the mouth guards are incredibly uncomfortable and I've heard they can loosen teeth, so I finally broke down and tried mouth tape. it works pretty well. it improves my sleep a little and my wife's quite a bit. the name brand stuff is expensive, but it's basically just KT tape.

I keep plenty of that on hand for sports injuries and now I just cut a piece into little strips and it does the job. although, according to my wife, I still manage to honkshoo mimimimi a bit out the sides of my mouth.
