  • Is moderately severe back pain really normal at 30?

  • It also annoys me that my insurance groups chiro together with physio so people might think that they’re alternatives to each other. I had a colleague who said “physio just gives you exercises/homework while chiro fixes you on the spot”

  • What was the strangest reason you got in trouble in school?

  • Went to a pretty strict school with uniform/dresscode in Asia. One of the rules is we’re not allowed to dye our hair. One of my high school teachers was convinced that all Asians have black hair, so my hair that’s very slightly brown under sunlight cannot be natural. It’s so subtly brown that most people would say I have black hair. It’s just that he saw me under the sun with my friends who had blacker hair than me that he assumed I died my hair.

    At first he gave me a written warning. I thought it was stupid so I ignored it. The next time I had his class, he pulled me aside and told me he was gonna send me home cos I still hadn’t dyed my hair back to black. I’d never really been in trouble at school so I didn’t even know what I was supposed to do. Since he was teaching a class, he sent me to the teachers lounge and find someone there and tell them I’m supposed to be sent home. Luckily the teacher I found there was someone who liked me and when I told her about the issue she just laughed and said that’s stupid. She let me hang out with her until the end of the period so I didn’t have to deal with the other teacher until she got a chance to talk to him.

  • How long do I need to exercise for before I start seeing a difference?

    Jump

  • I believe it’s true too that other people might notice first. I think it might be because we look at the mirror often, especially when working out, and don’t notice the small changes our body has gone through during the process. But when you see someone you haven’t seen in weeks, the difference is much more noticeable

  • What's the dumbest weed related thing that's happened to you or someone you know did?

    Jump

  • In college, guy went to the bathroom, found a lighter in his pocket and started lighting toilet paper on fire while on the toilet. No idea how long he was in there but it was bad enough that the fire sprinklers went off and flooded the basement and first floor. The guy got kicked out of the dorm, but don’t know what else happened or how much it cost.

  • Yes, this breaks community rule (off-topic) but I'm gonna leave it up because it's funny. And judging by the upvotes/replies, seems like people are ok with it.

  • Big pharma’s plea to Trump to punish Australia for cheaper medicines

    Jump

  • Yeah that’s what I was thinking. Insulin costs $7 in Australia vs $98 in the US. I’m guessing US drug companies want the cost in Australia to go up so US doesn’t look as bad in comparison

  • Turkmenistan Tells Its Pensioners To Prove They Are Not Dead.

    Jump

  • I misread pensioners as prisoners. Was really worried about what they do in prisons over there. Then got to the comments saying “this is common” and I reread the title a couple times before it clicked. Wow I need sleep.

  • I guess I should stop interacting with Reels

  • I might be wrong but I think 28x28 is 16x(7x7) instead of 4x. It should be 7x7x4 instead of (7x4)x(7x4)

  • What's with the 1m value and why are all tech companies doing it?

  • Programmers: Stop Calling Yourselves Engineers

    Jump

  • I live in Australia, which I guess is not a civilized country.

    In any case, what does that even mean for software engineers to be certified? Do we get certifications for specific programming language? Or a stack? Or is it specific to what industry your tech is based on? Cos I don’t think it makes sense for someone working on a social media platform to have the same certification as someone who’s working on health tech for example. Why does it need to be a protected title? Does the general public even care or is it just other certified engineers who care?

  • Programmers: Stop Calling Yourselves Engineers

    Jump

  • Yeah I was gonna ask, whether certification/government regulations are required for all engineering disciplines. I graduated with a CS degree and work as a software engineer now. I have family members who studied different engineering disciplines (industrial, civil, mechanical, etc), and only 1 of them ever needed certification (civil engineer). What makes one more "engineering" than others?

  • I’ve only visited Colorado once, during my cross country road trip maybe 10 years ago (I’ve since left the US) and loved it there. I did notice how much healthier/thinner everyone was. I was in Boulder for 2-3 days and did a couple day hikes. Everyone was very friendly. I would love to live there. As someone who’s on the higher side of normal weight, I’ve never felt so unfit.

  • Loose iPhone 15 series USB-C port?

    Jump

  • I have a 15 Pro as well and mine is still ok. Although I rarely use the port because I use wireless charging most of the time.

    I did have an issue with CarPlay disconnecting sometimes, even though the cable itself doesn't pop out. But it also happens on my husband's Pixel, and we've tried other cables, so we think it's just the car's connection rather than the cable/phone.

  • TIL when applying for a British passport online, your identity has to be confirmed by someone who is not a relative, knows you for two years, and has to be from a specific (weird) list of professions.

  • Had the same requirement to get Australian citizenship. It wasn't easy since most of the people I knew were mostly temporary residents/non-citizens too, and my occupation isn't on the list so coworkers are out the running.
