    I was at Warped Tour many years ago, talking with randos in the campground. I mentioned which bands I was there to see, and this guy gave me a huge smile and yelled ‘You’re old’ in my face.

      IMO fuck everyone who doesn’t care about good quality appliances. They are to blame for how common shitty ones are these days. Especially developers who just get something that looks nice but actually sucks when you use it.

      Glares at oven that takes forever to preheat, doesn’t keep the temperature even once it does, and has a drawer oven that takes even longer to preheat than the shitty main oven takes to preheat and COOK things

        I sell appliances and the number of times I hear “It’s for a rental”, as a reason to get the cheapest thing, is depressing.

          As someone that is on the marketing side of individuals renting condos for vacations, the ones that buy the quality stuff, are able to get more revenue per booking, and a better retention. It not only applies to the kitchen, but to things you wouldn’t expect, like sheets, towels, and toilet paper. Go cheap on any of those, and you’ll read about it in a 2 star review.

        I’ve been quite poor my whole life. For me simply having the appliance, in my own apartment, is amazing. One year I lived in a little place with a little washer and dryer in the closet. It was incredible. The washer didn’t drain right, and the dryer would go for hours without drying the clothes, but it was still amazing because it was the first time ever I’d had a washer and dryer of my own that I didn’t have to go outside to use.

      I was at a cocktail party a couple of weeks ago, and had an engaging conversation with 4 other dads about our choices and regrets in kitchen appliances…and lawnmowers.

    Well, throwing out my lower back bending over a table a couple weeks ago sure didn’t help…

        Yep. It hit me at 32. I literally wasn’t even bending over. I walked about 30 feet in my house and by the time I got to the couch I was in terrible pain

        Could be a nutrient deficiency, too. I’ve gotten myself out of that exhausted state with b-complex and magnesium supplements. It’s quick, too, if that’s the real problem. I felt normal and alert again within 15 minutes of taking the supplements.

      I hesitate to nap on a day off because if I’m not careful I’ll just wake up the next morning and my day off will be gone.

    I was speaking to someone at a party recently and realised they where both in their 20s and born after 9/11. Was quite a moment.

    Within the past few years, once my neck problems started getting worse and I finally went for an MRI and was diagnosed with arthritis.

    0/10, do not recommend.

      My MIL has had really good luck with non-thc CBD creams for arthritis. Done it daily for the the last couple of years and she swears by it. Don’t have personal experience with it, but she recently opened a jar of pasta sauce in front of me and didn’t blink. Hope you get some relief.

    When I honestly felt that what my homemade juice/blended smoothie thingy needed more of was celery and that without enough celery it was too sweet and lacked body. That was the day there was no more pretending. Only a year before had I suffered through my first back injury, so they can go together.

    Otherwise, the beginnings of it for me were when I noticed warming up for physical exercise took longer. 10-15 minute bicycle commutes used to require no warm up at all. Then I’d feel warmed up only by the end of them. That’s when I knew I was turning the corner.
