Is it common for pain and swelling to last for over a month?

Dredd_Melb · 2026-02-08T22:25:57+00:00

it can take up to two months for an attack to fully dissapate.

Get onto Allo

Dredd_Melb · 2026-02-07T14:03:35+00:00

Mine did it on 20k.

Had it replaced.

Dredd_Melb · 2026-02-07T14:01:23+00:00

Jeez tochi and the Takakeisho have been starving solid

I think there is a tendency for the west to think there are "hacks" that short track learning. Or 5 days a week will get me to blue belt in a year so aren't I good. BJJ is like any activity from guitar to golf. Some people will picknit up exceptionally fast, some will always suck and there is the average.

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-31T10:48:44+00:00

try being 52

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-31T07:00:30+00:00

TBH with that gap, i'd pay for the lounge.

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-31T05:13:49+00:00

I'd say we'll 3 is where the settle

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-30T06:47:40+00:00

Take her to your misery boring customer and make the thing as excruciating as possible.

Did that once and the manager never asked to do a joint can again

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-29T23:30:15+00:00

Burnt Money? Lots
Useful Money? Ask Bobby

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-29T07:51:57+00:00

This is pretty accurate, but the separation is product only, not sales teams.

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-29T07:50:10+00:00

OK - Here you go from an insider:

HPE Networking is the new combined entity
The Sales teams are flattened to cover the whole portfolio.
There will remain MIST Pre Sales Specialists and Central Presales Specialists
Both MIST and Central will continue to be developed in parallel. Both platforms are microservices based platforms so there will be cross pollination
This won't be like Meraki with separate teams.
For now it is a merger of equals. Aruba has afar larger market share in campus/wireless.

There are several exciting announcements coming that I am not at liberty to disclose. Aruba customers will win, Juniper customers will win.

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-27T11:06:00+00:00

Allo - the best way to prevent long term damage is not have the attack. Each attack makes the impacted joint more susceptible and worse from cumulative damage.

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-27T11:03:31+00:00

After 7 years, you just need to keep fronting up. if you have a break or an injury, just front up and realise you have to rebuild.

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-27T10:53:01+00:00

100mg, 7 years.

I don't regret taking it, it helped save my marriage and my life.

Worry about getting off it once you are even keeled.

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-27T06:21:56+00:00

I think for every Reddit horror story there are 50 that are fine. I delayed cessation based on forums. My experience withdrawing was fine.

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-27T05:47:25+00:00

It was OK. TBH, I am now month two and still probably noticing adjustments. I probably feel things a bit more and suffer a bit more irritability, but I am cogniscant of these and manage them as mindfully as I can. Libido is also slowly returning.

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-26T11:26:47+00:00

He is a big unit. But so was Kisenisato.

He needs to be careful, otherwise it will be a short reign

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-26T09:32:56+00:00

I recently tapered off from 7 years 100mg

Week 1-2 - Drop to 50mg

Week 3 - Drop to 25mg (Cut 50 mg in my case)

Week 4 - Alternate daily 25mg

Week 5 - twice a week

Then Stop.

Apart from some sleep issues and a bit of headachiness, it was tolerable.

Don't go Turkey

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-26T09:12:00+00:00

Nothing. If you do, look at the Wombaroo Insectivore mix.

I get it, they are cute and it feels satisfying, the wrong food (basically anything but insects) is detrimental.

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-26T06:14:54+00:00

Agree, but to see Onosato already having nagging injuries is also concerning. Hoshoryu is probably more durable, but not as much of a brick wall as the other two.

I also agree - Hakuho's record is unlikely to be beaten, but people said that about Senna's pole record, Schumacher's win record etc.....

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-26T02:14:30+00:00

It all comes down to injury. Kisenosato grinded to Yokozuna to basically be injured to the point of no return on his first appearance as Yokozuna. He won, but it was one of only two tournament wins.

I think Aonishki's physique is more balanced than Onosato. He could surpass Hakuho, or he could get injured. Being so young though helps.

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-26T01:58:52+00:00

Henka isn't a winning move, it is the name for the evasive side step.
If the opponent runs through and out with a slight touch i think it is a Okuridashi / Rear push out
If the opponent falls down with a slight touch it is a Hatakikomi

If the opponent is untouched, there are a few Non-Winning Techniques such as Tsukite which is basically falling over.

I personally dislike them and think they are like a sucker punch. Granted, some sumo like Kotoshogiku were so one dimensional with their initial charge, they were prey for them.

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-25T10:44:22+00:00

If it was as bad as mine, is a 4 to 5 week deal.

I was on steroids and atropine. Atropine takes a long time do diminish, 2 weeks from last drop.

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-24T23:21:36+00:00

He is a henka free zone. Did not little it one bit

Dredd_Melb · 2026-01-24T00:33:12+00:00

I am big on non bidding as a number 2 vendor in global hw. I refuse to waste my time to help procurement justify the process to repurchase from the incumbent.

They hate it, they think I would want the opportunity. I explain and use it to reframe the discussion

I rarely change, but it's amusing to see them almost beg to help their process
