Yeah I do this to break my inertia.
“I’m not actually going to do any work, just clear my desk, then 5 minutes youtube”
“I’m not actually going to do any work, I’m just going to get my books / laptop out, then do whatever thing for 5 minutes”
… and so on …
You need practice at concentrating on your work.
In the same way you’d work out to build muscle strength, your mind needs regular training to stay in shape.
Start with sensible, achievable goals and improve over time.
How long did you take the meds for? How long ago did you stop?
I’ve been a volunteer treasurer for several medium sized non-profits.
You should have a think about what sort of charity resonates with you. Like education support, homelessness, legal support, drug rehabilitation, et cetera.
Then call a few in your area and tell them you’re considering a bequest, and would like to understand some more about their organisation and how the money is used. 1
In places with “hard” water (lots of calcium) you tend to get a calcium plaque in the pan after several years. It will absorb any iron in the water and turn brown.
It’s pretty much a rock growing on the porcelain. A brush won’t move it.
Folded is the wrong word. Not load bearing signs be better.
That’s exactly what it is. Most people are hard wired to do this automatically.
God I feel you so hard my guy.
I’m only a few years older than you and have ischaemic cv disease (blocked arteries). It’s a common problem in people twice my age. I thought I ate well and exercised regularly but it turns out that stuff doesn’t help that much if you lost the genetic lottery like me.
I had a heart attack this year, while my partner was pregnant with our first children. Yes 2x kids. They were born a few months ago.
IDK if I have 2 years or 20 years to do my best for them… but fuck it’s a bitter pill.
I absolutely get the dread / fear / anger.
Every time I have a new blood test that shows I’m more fucked than I hoped it just… hurts.
Cardiovascular disease.
I think it’s coming with me though.
Given that the law was passed two weeks after they were married I think it has already been drafted and the whole subject was probably one of much debate. Also note three neighbouring states passed laws at the same time.
It seems likely that someone said “find a story about under-age marriage for our front page”, and these two hapless yokels (or should I say Johns the hapless yokel) were the only ones stupid enough to have their photos taken.
In summary, I think society was working up to passing a law like this, and these two had a bride that was younger than most and got married at the right time.
That said, the author has definitely tried to imply that this sort of marriage was commonplace in the 30s, when it was probably at most “unusual”.
Yeah I don’t like auto upgrades. Everyone says it’s fine but that’s not my experience.
My stuff isn’t public facing so I’m not worried about 0-days
You could take photos of the dog humping your dog and make posters & flyers warning everyone.
Better yet, you could post to your local “mother’s chat” Facebook group and let them resolve it
My goodness me.
“Talk to all the other people at the park and turn them against one other person in order to avoid an awkward conversation with said person”.
If someone at the park told me to avoid some other person because their dog is a humper I world tell them to grow up.
How do you wet the TP? 😭
Yeah I’m generally not a cat person but that’s a pretty rad cat.
