  • It’s really hard to parse these sorts of things. All of these before and after shots for any of these procedures are done by the people advertising them to you. Of course they are going to pick and choose things that work out well. Would be nice if there was a less biased way to research these sorts of things tbh. Interesting technique, though.

    The point is that GPS map services factor in traffic data…

    I know roughly how long it will take for me to drive the several hour trip to my mom’s house when there aren’t any accidents or construction work. It’s those factors that affect my ETA.

    It’s not. I don’t have a stricture and the thing in the OP happens to me sometimes. It’s like very very occasionally, I swallow weird…and it’s almost like a cramp or something odd happens where I get pain from swallowing. It gives the same energy as when you accidentally inhale your own spit, but it relates to your esophagus instead of your lungs.

    Random monologue no one asked for.

    It’s weird. I’ve gone from periodically depressed and unhappy similar to the left to growing increasingly less and less relatable to memes about hating life. Now I’d say I’m toward he point where I lean more towards the right but without the overt optimistim and proselytizing. Idk if something changed in my brain or what. It’s like I have filled up my time lately with too many things nowadays so I don’t have much “downtime” to ruminate on things that make me sad. I did change psych meds for the umpteenth time about 4 months ago. Maybe it might actually be affecting me. Weird to think about? Dunno.

    Huh? What’s wrong with an Uber or taxi? I don’t get what you don’t understand about it. It will take you exactly where you want to go.

    Some examples of where this mode of transportation has a big advantage:

    • If it’s too long to reasonably travel by bike, especially in current weather conditions
    • If there are no nearby bus stops
    • If the bus line doesn’t come very often (ex: several hours for a bus to arrive at the stop you’re at)
