"Man rests from one labor by doing another." That also works for managing chronic pain, as I've discovered...

  • The issue is these brand new accounts posting one or two comics about how men suck, or women suck, or whatever, and then leaving.

    @&^#, and I just fell for it, as above. Putin and foreign actors, once again.

    Deleting now...

  • Thingvellir, Iceland, 1930

    One thing maybe I've learned from Thorgal is that "the Thing" is pretty important indeed, in terms of major cultural meetings / discussions.

    Totally different in today's loose terminology, but "the Thing"... had some typically HUGE implications upon how a peoples should pursue their needs. Kind like an Nordic Supreme Court, maybe?

  • ...dark red kidney beans. I use those and pinto beans. I’m torn on which is better for chili and I’ve found that both together is best.

    Huh! As someone who loves beans and chili, I'll have to try that.

  • what do I need to look for when buying running and pull up gloves?

    Jump

  • I'm no kind of expert, but I love my Bontrager (or other brand) fingerless riding gloves. I originally got them for cycling, but they're so light and effective that I wear them year-round, pretty much. Unlike cotton (etc), they wick up moisture nicely.

    That said, yeah-- when it gets much below 0°F, I'd say ditch the dang'ol riding gloves, lol.

  • Admiral, you know I love you, but I'm already running one community over here, and trying to get another off the ground, soon. I suspect such a thing will fall to the Lower Decks, provided it happens..

  • Have you ever made friends with a wild animal?

    Jump

  • Back in Philly in the late 90's, around Olde City, I would often spend my lunch-breaks feeding the squirrels. Across multiple encounters I would call out to them to 'come and get your nuts!' (like the classic NA song)

    Not much later, the whole thing pretty quickly turned in to public, hilarious squirrel-congregations when I was in their territory, speaking in even a normal voice, from that point on. They would just descend en masse, and heaven help me if I'd not brought a bag of nuts along.

    Eh, I really like this gal on YT, what with her little feasts:https://www.youtube.com/@Squirrels_at_the_window/videos?view=0&sort=p&shelf_id=1

  • I love deer on every level, and am generally happy to see them where I live. Except for this-- that they can carry deer ticks.

    Which for a person already disabled, would pretty much be curtains. But even for the completely healthy, getting Lyme Disease is generally a complete disaster.

  • Weekly thread - how is everyone doing with their communities?

  • Actually, yeah.. that does sound pretty realistic, just speaking as a layperson. I wonder if the number of groupies kinda makes up for all that, though? lol

    Eh, see what you started, Blaze?! 😅

  • Hmm. 5-10yrs fewer in a nation with long life expectancy is pretty impressive to me, really. The obvious one I used to assume was super bad news is the weight issue, with belly fat tending to be particularly terrible for nearby organs. But apparently with sumotori, it's surprisingly not commonly a major issue due to their training methods and cardiovascular health. IIRC the fat tends to float on top of a dense layer of muscle, unlike ye olde coach potato physique.

    Btw, I would guess that head slaps in sumo aren't quite as bad as they might seem, due to them being somewhat of an incidental thing not meant so much to cause damage, but to disorganize an opponent for the purposes of bettering one's position. Compare that for example to the slap-fighting leagues, in which one person has to stand in position while the opponent gets to wind up and deliver the equivalent of a perfect, badass hook shot. I mean, holy shoot, you can be boxing and fighting MMA, struggling for many rounds to get off a shot like that, and yet in slap-fighting, it seems like that's more of an 'every shot,' thing. oO

    But yeah, no real surprises about the knee issues. That sucks.
