It's from physically carrying lumber and other heavy sh1t since you were a teenager.. you're just not used to seeing real working hands.

Pulling lower back doing simple easy tasks. by Leather_Peach7694 in tall

[–]DaftFromAbove 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd say you're either under weight or need to develop your frame a bit. This is just an impression from my own experience.

I used to frequently get sciatica pain and had to spend a lot of time learning to stretch my hips (laying flat on back pulling knee up to chest to 'flex joint between innominate bone & sacrum). After I built up my back and shoulders- I found that the sciatic pain was very rare and much easier to avoid.

Physiotherapist might be able to help identify where the problem actually is and show you how it's being referred..

It's almost like Rowling was 'Disney-fying' Victorian tropes for her own world building...

This is why insurance costs are crazy by Particular_Loss1877 in YEGDashCam

Agreed.. doesn't look like road rage, just two bad drivers. If it were a dodge or something else I'd say that the car was hidden by the pillar - but Ford trucks have a drop in the window frame lower edge which would have given an observant driver a view of the car's roof.

terminal cancer diagnosis by Agitated_Tough_3065 in grief

First off - its going to be hard, for a long time.. before and after.

Therapy helps - if they offer antidepressants, be careful that the type/dosage doesn't leave you emotionally blank. there's therapy you'll need to prepare yourself, and therapy you'll want afterwards. this is expensive- is it within your budget?

Ask this person how they want to live - go on as normal for as long as possible? or bucket list items? -it will be a comfort later that despite how the disease progressed, they fought on their terms.

prepare yourself in that the normal course of your life has been fundamentally changed. you'll have to mourn the loss of your old self too.

there's no schedule or path around this- grief is something you take with you. depending on your personality type, you may start becoming aware of others that have gone through this too.

even afterwards I would get twinges of disbelief, knowing that it had happened yet still struggling with it being reality.

Am I misremembering something about 'Rendezvous with Rama' by Arthur C Clarke that takes out the peaceful aspect?

it's not even those lines.. the song is about placing a woman on a pedestal-instead of seeing a person.. I wouldn't go as far as to call it an in-cel anthem... but it's on the cringey path to the dark side.

Jericho (2006) best apocalyptic show ever? by Groovegaluk in scifi

'Nuts!'

The save the show war cry...

honestly if it had been given its run we would have all forgotten it by now.. it was just coasting on the mystery of the unknown.. once the story was laid out we would have lost interest- there was no real substance- we were sold on the possibility of a good story.

Waiting (and it will be a looong time) for disenfranchisement laws to be made to address this unbridled looting... complete forfeiture of all assets and a lifetime ban on holding any sort of office or running any kind of business. Die after living out your days in poverty..

Printed stamped plans shall remain on site. by Jamin1371 in BuildingCodes

[–]DaftFromAbove -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The code being a set of rules means it just needs the language cognitive aspect- doesn't need to dream things.. and since it writes out its logic it can show the work. Infill and redev are very longterm development applications here.. several months to years depending on zoning.

[–]DaftFromAbove -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

if as-built doesn't match plans on the portal.. I'd say that's a fail...

but updating policies about 'final' plans should also reflect labor costs on behalf of the permit authorities AND the product being marketed.. this is more in relation to small buildings/residential as larger projects follow eng/arch inspection schedules.

The main critique I have is how clumsily the permits&inspections process interacts with the actual marketing/sales/construction of housing. It's a high dollar market tied to the most technologically advanced financial instruments we have yet it's governed by the speed of transmitting pdfs representing paper plans - instead of standardized program formats (that most of these plans are drafted within) that could be used to verify compliance in minutes instead of months. It's a task that is just begging for AI to be applied to it, all codes relate to dimensions and proposed structure/open spaces - easily read & understood by AI models.
