I know it's for advertising but there's a paranoid little corner of my mind that imagines insurance companies paying for some of these, uh, "user insights."

I can't imagine it would be more than a couple hundred bucks assuming they can find an accessible point for it. Mine is in an unfinished room at the corner of the basement where the main line comes in and replacing it took the plumber life twenty minutes.

You can ask the plumber about coordinating with the city for shutoff. Maybe they'd know a guy?

But definitely don't mess with it if. In my case I couldn't find my external shutoff when I needed that internal one replaced so I had the city come locate it for me. They uncovered the plate, tested the valve and it broke immediately. Fixing it was a major excavation. The city guy told me how lucky I was that I hadn't found it and tested it myself.

In the latest Legend of Zelda games there's a regular event that takes place every in-game month called the Blood Moon. When it happens all of the enemies that the player had previously defeated come back to life. The joke here is the the dirty dishes were cleaned, but the blood moon reincarnated them.

Sometimes I wonder if the people who work at Reddit have ever heard of Reddit.

That's cool as hell. Also seems super lucky to have captured that.

Although completely reasonable, I fear that your conclusion is inaccessible for most folks.

And as a pedestrian, I'm all for a system that's capable of reducing distracted driving.

This feels like reading a language that you only kinda know.

We had the roof replaced two years ago. I believe they redid all the flashing at that point. So there's a chance this could be old? If the leak is resolved, which I'll verify, do we have to do anything to the wood or are we good?

I switched from from beer to flavored carbonated water. This was 18 years ago though and the options were pretty limited back then. Mostly it was just artificially sweetened garbage. I'd rather just have a club soda and add my own fruit or juice to taste. But these days it's just easier to buy Polar or whatever.

Oh this is timely.

I just started looking for a new therapist again. It's been a few years since I had/needed one. But here we are. After being laid off for four months with no work in sight. After not being as nice to my kids as I would like to be. After falling to make big life decisions about where to live. And mostly after just being fucking annoyed like almost all of the time, I'm ready to get help.

Now the problem is figuring out who to see.. There are a lot of options but basically no information about any of the therapists, counselors, LCSWs or whatever in my neighborhood.

Actually, account to the article you linked, "In the highest-risk group, teen boys, myocarditis occurred in 26.7 out of 100,000 cases after the second vaccine dose, while the condition occurred in 59 out of 100,000 cases after coming down with Covid, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

I did not realize, or else I forgot, that myocarditis is also a potential side effect of Covid. The fact that it's more prevalent in those cases than from the vaccine is truly convincing. I'm not going back to high alert prevention, so booster it is

Holy shit

Hejsan! Jag är amerikan men bodde jag i Sverige några år sedan. Tack så mycket för dina råd. Det kan var lättare i Sverige för sådana saker, tror jag.

Heh. Not even fixing it.

Malazan Book of the Fallen is one of the best brick walls I've ever put my head through.

I'm ready. Mildly amuse me.

My feet change. Shoes that work in one season might not work later. And since shoe companies constantly change designs, there's no point getting attached to any one brand or model. Keep experimenting, but slowly.

Also don't try to run through pain. Take a break. Use heat. Talk to a physical therapist. Whatever. Just don't assume it'll go away without me addressing it.

Lol. That one makes me strip a gear.

I mean I could just spray a hose up there, couldn't I?

This is why I avoid other sports. Or hobbies. Or relationships. Or proper meals. Can't get distracted!
