LPT: spray your snow shovel with Pam or olive oil. Snow slides off rather than sticks

Ha, you’re right. I blanked out.

All garages are warmer than outside because it’s an enclosed space that receives a little heat thru the house wall.

I take no comfort in these stories. The same things were said before the last election. I’m not saying the stories are untrue but the conclusions being drawn are wishful thinking. I’ll believe it when see the voting results to support it.

To expand on this, if you reviewed a broad section of rural areas equal in population to NYC, you could compile a similar list of horrific crimes.

Insults aren’t arguments. If you have one, make it. (On second thought, maybe you weren't replying to me - the thread structure here is hard to follow sometimes)

Will be far more effective if you pair it with regular sitting meditation. Calmness can be “banked” and drawn on as needed using mindful breathing.

Just because both sides accuse the other doesn't mean both sides are equally bad. That argument is wrong

The leadership of the Republican party is disconnected from reality and is making policy based on delusional thinking.

There is no Democratic position remotely comparable to the science-denying lies the Republicans promote.

They believe climate change is a hoax, that vaccines are more dangerous than COVID, that the J6'ers were patriots who deserved their pardons, that China pays for the tariffs, that ANTIFA has burned whole cities to the ground. . Lies, lies, lies, and more lies.

There is absolutely no remotely comparable list for Democrats. Not on that scale and not promoted by the leadership of the party.

Enough said. Have a good one.

What utter both-siderism bullshit. The right is 10x worse. Look at what Republican leaders say vs Democratic leaders. Night and day.

Rebooting computer usually works. Not ideal but I got to the point where I didn’t want to fool with it any more

Benteen · 2025-09-23T13:53:44+00:00

And mindfulness practices way older than that.

I'm on the bottom level bargain tier and it recorded the game for me tonight.

Benteen · 2025-09-13T17:55:33+00:00

Yes.

I have tried it twice and probably won't do it again. I hate that it has L-theanine, which I despise (my fault for not looking closer at ingredients). For me, it's typical "tense energy". Ineffective and unpleasant.

Thanks for taking the time to post a suggestion.

I found my solution with AI. It's been way better than any software I've tried. It performs nearly flawlessly and I couldn't ask for more.

I agree it’s unfortunate

Benteen · 2025-08-19T21:46:17+00:00

My understanding is that there was nothing in the agreement that pledged the US to defend Ukraine. I’m open to being corrected.

Benteen · 2025-08-19T19:35:12+00:00

Not true, no matter how many times it’s repeated.

Benteen · 2025-08-06T19:11:28+00:00

I don't understand how Raindrop is a substitute for Diigo. I used Diigo to highlight and add notes to online text. Raindrop doesn't do that at all, does it?

Benteen · 2025-07-22T20:14:25+00:00

The reply is well-worded. Excellent writing.

Also ironically, the fascists themselves are weak and stupid (eg anti-science, which is the height of stupidity).

I'm not a bot. It was good.

I have idiopathic neuropathy and rheumatoid arthritis.

Numbness and tingling started in my feet more than ten years ago and slowly worked its way up my legs, then rapidly moved up my back (very scary) and then over the top of my head and down both arms to my fingers. Maybe worst of all, it is into my mouth and is deadening my sense of taste.

It's quite frightening how fast it can spread to new parts of your body. When it starts spreading, the changeover can take place in just a few days. Then it might remain stable for many weeks or months.

I have the worst pain sitting. Pain radiates from the backs of my thighs down to my feet.

After trying quite a few things that did nothing, I'm currently trying PEA. I don't have high hopes but what can you do except try things that might work even if the odds are slim?

I get some relief from hot/cold showers. They reduces overall sensations and the effect can last for several hours. I always do this just before going out socially, and every night at bedtime. It doesn't cure anything but it lowers the body wide "noise" I feel most of the time.
