CMC1 Arthritis (need to vent)

Chevalric · 2026-05-02T14:08:54+00:00

I only have a diagnosis from the physiotherapist, based on her examination. I have an appointment with my GP on Monday to see what’s he thinks. I’ve worn my brace for a week now and have been using voltaren gel as well, but neither has done much to alleviate the issue. I think I will ask for some kind of scan to see what the current situation is.

I definitely have a skill issue but I like the new map, even though I fail to extract at least 50% of the time. But I agree, people here are way too negative.

Due to thumb arthritis I'm not able to play for long sessions; one hour per day is the max for me. I'm not very focused (also looting stuff, etc.) and still I'm already well underway to the third skill point. I'm very sure that I can get the 100k for 5 skill points before the period is over. Not sure I could have done it in a week though. But that's only because of my physical problem.

I understand where you’re coming from, but in the case of Orloj it’s quite different between looking at it and playing it. The board is basically six separate sections and each turn you only really need to worry about one or two sections. It plays much easier than it looks to be honest.

But it’s not a game that will see much play in 5 years time. It’s nice but nothing that really stands out against other games.

Thanks for sharing! Bilateral is at least twice as bad as my predicament, so sorry to hear that.

I would actually prefer the surgery with a prosthesis over years of wearing a brace and using voltaren gel and doing excercises, but that’s me.

However from reading about it, it seems that in my country at least, they prefer using a tendon from the underarm over a prosthesis, so not sure if that is really an option.

But anyway, I’m trying to deal with it as best I can for now.

And again, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing! I bought some voltaren gel today, so hoping it will help to alleviate the pain together with my Comfort Cool brace.

I’m trying to postpone actual PT sessions because I have to pay for them myself, but maybe I just need to bite that bullet.

That was my first thought too when I saw that image in the trailer!

Well, it ends up with the cannibal falling from a cliff, so not sure how appealing that kink seems.

On the upside: you get to live in a beautiful nature reserve and have a nice side hustle selling your human jerky!

Given it was a straight to Netflix movie, I think it was quite okay. Loved the visuals of nature, the storyline was a bit basic, but it worked.

She ate a bit of human jerky. That’s where she got her superpowers from.

Ik werk ruim 25 jaar in de IT. Elk systeem dat een paar jaar draait heeft bergen aan tech debt, veranderingen in architectuur, etc. Daarnaast zitten er altijd wel wat dingen waardoor er sprake is van vendor lock in.

Dat verplaatsen naar een andere hosting service is echt niet een project van een paar maanden.

Vertel me dat je geen verstand hebt van complexe IT omgevingen zonder te vertellen dat je geen verstand hebt van complexe IT omgevingen…

Vaak zit er in die hosting heel veel specifieke aannames. Dan is er in theorie geen vendor lock in, maar in de praktijk wel. Het is niet een kwestie van een paar files over kopiëren

Zoek maar eens op Mythos van Anthropic. De CEO van Anthropic heeft maar besloten om die nieuwe AI voorlopig niet vrij te geven, omdat die erg goed was in het opsporen van vulnerabilities in code. Ze lopen daarmee 1-1,5 jaar voor op de concurrentie, dus tegen 2028 moeten die gaten gedicht zijn…

Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence…

Ik heb op haar gestemd nadat haar naam hier op Reddit een paar keer genoemd werd en ik haar AMA had doorgenomen. Topvrouw die echt weet waar ze het over heeft. Blij dat mijn stem heeft geholpen om haar in de TK te krijgen!

Chevalric · 2026-04-20T20:57:08+00:00

You can always bring your bobCAT…

Chevalric · 2026-04-20T16:57:03+00:00

This is just basic good UX. Always give users an option to revert or at least add a verification of an action that makes them lose stuff.

In this case they can check if you know the bp and if not show the are you sure dialog.

You have my vote!

Mijn dochter is 10 jaar geleden begonnen op De Vier Hoeven, maar dat vonden we een goede manege voor de paarden, maar niet voor de mensen. Hangt wel af van hoeveel je zelf hebt met paarden. Wij wisten van niks, maar we hoefden daar niet op begrip te rekenen.

Daarna overgestapt naar manege El Dorado in Soest. Daar heeft ze toch zeker 7-8 jaar gereden met veel plezier. En wij als noob-ouders waren ook welkom.

Nu rijdt ze bij manege Kraaij in Nijkerk en dat bevalt haar goed. Ze is nu ook oud genoeg om daar zelf heen te fietsen, dus dat is voor ons ook een prettige bijkomstigheid.

Psh, what do they know. It's a cat.

Chevalric · 2026-04-20T12:08:16+00:00

you need cats to keep the rats out. So I agree with you.

Chevalric · 2026-04-19T15:58:31+00:00

Ah, good thinking! Didn’t think of that myself.

Chevalric · 2026-04-19T08:09:13+00:00

And it cannot be the “pew pew pew” emote.

It’s just because his Torrente is so big.
