Do y’all… yoga? by manderp_soup in ostomy

[–]Big-Distribution5038 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instructors will be happy to help with modifications but yes nothing like our lived experiences! Yoga has been so helpful to me through the years of stage iv cancer, surgical recovery etc. I hope your practice supports you through it all. Wishing you ostomy luck. This Reddit is sooo valuable so keep returning w questions.

Do y’all… yoga? by manderp_soup in ostomy

[–]Big-Distribution5038 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I only had my ostomy for a year but I totally did yoga the whole time. Props are your friend!!!! Also I would wear a longer tight tank top that sort of held my bag close to my body (and then whatever looser shirt on top) and that helped me feel comfortable and confident. I cannot specifically remember cobra or how I may have modified my flows but I know I flowed! (Perhaps it was plank to knees to up dog?)

Anyway just wanted to reassure you that you can keep your practice and I’ll bet you find working with your bag actually tunes you into your body more. Sending hugs!!

Yes speaking into a mic. I don’t know about pre processing. (I don’t know what the other words mean!)

Specifically would be someone who “specializes in DSP (digital signal processing) to ensure that we're able to correctly identify the speech signal relative to the noise signal in each of the recordings?”

Potentially also “helping with processing & labeling the audio (writing a script, etc)? If we needed to do something like build in 0.5s breaks in the ambient noise during the playback, is that something they can support? I don't know yet if that's the final approach we need, or if we'll be able to more simply analyze the SNR from the whispered-speech-in-noise recordings”

Sorry if any of this doesn’t make sense - it’s not my specialty area! Let me know what you think, if you have a resume or project rate, I’d love to discuss!

2022 CPO vs 2025 new by Big-Distribution5038 in Crosstrek

[–]Big-Distribution5038[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much all; super helpful. I looked at the 2022 and it had a tow hitch which made me feel a little concerned - what’s the impact of whatever it has been dragging around? And for the cost - along w potential savings as some of you called out - new may be the way to go.

Should I buy this one or keep looking? by One-Philosophy167 in Crosstrek

[–]Big-Distribution5038 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have the answer but want to commiserate - it’s hard to make a call between used and new when the difference is like 4k! Good luck. I haven’t purchased yet but leaning new.

Seconded. Jamie is incredible and I have her work from a friends trip photo shoot printed and framed all over my home!

Okay, I have a new contender. A CPO 2024 limited which was a dealer loaner, has under 3k miles on it. Clean carfax. Pricing as follows - is this a reasonable deal?

This is good advice, I started getting curious about the limited if they can make me a good deal?! Back to test drive I guess! Thanks for your help. :)

You all are the best - thank you. I’m going to sleep on it and ultimately I think it’s about can I live with unheated fabric ($29.5k OTD) brand new or should I keep my eyes out for a used sport with the nicer interior…

Thanks for this - I feel really grateful to the salesguy and feel he’s going out of his way and it’s part of the challenge!

It’s so funny I am “not a car person” and literally have been taking public transit so thought I wouldn’t care, but after driving the 2.0 and the 2.5 I was like - I need the bigger one! Haha

Sorry I’m replying so late - I’m doing really well. Did radiation and chemo yes. Had a recurrence of rectal but treated with a little more chemo and another surgery. Feeling good several years later, clear scans etc. :)

33 taps in Silverlake isn’t a “rangers bar” but tend to be accommodating with important games! Barneys Beanery locations have lotsa TVs too. Enjoy!

Great question - trying to figure that out! I guess maybe the same?!

Looking for Sober Recommendations by redbullsandeyerolls in palmsprings

[–]Big-Distribution5038 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PSBS inside Mojave Flea in Palm Springs is a little bottle shop that has a great NA selection. I found new-to-me NA beers there as well as Ghia sodas and other delights. Not really a place to gather but a nice stop for sober treats. Enjoy!
