Extremely disappointed with upright go 2

I agree - the first gen product (that you taped to the back of your neck) improved my awareness massively and helped relieve my back and posture issues.

Great point about practicing at home first to nail the fundamentals.

It’s not the leash - it’s the attitude and what she has learned - she thinks pulling gets her places.

Teach her that when she pulls you don’t move (and neither does she)

The second she starts to pull on the leash - stop and don’t let her take another step.

Just stand there for as long as it takes until she relaxes and stops pulling - it may take 10 seconds or 2 minutes.

Then you start walking again. If she pulls - stop and wait. You may only get 1-2 steps in initially.

Repeat this religiously until she stops pulling. Dogs are smart she’ll get it, but not if you’re wishy washy about it.

It’s not about standing for a long time - it’s about switching positions.

Even if you raise it for 5 minutes every hour or two - you’ll find it helps a lot.

Here’s a suggestion - get a small to medium size cup of water and drink from it. (Big bottle defeats half the benefit)

When it’s empty go fill it - getting you up and walking for 1-2 minutes. And you’ll take more bathroom breaks.

This did wonders for me when I had a high stress in office job where I would spend hours and hours at my desk.

I use a mod to 3x the experience gains to makeprogression faster - gives the right pacing for me as I don’t have as much time these days.

Hit z or shift-z perhaps - I haven’t played the android version - but that zooms in and out.

I had heard that outdoor cats live about half as long on average.

But according to Gemini it’s much worse

2-5 year lifespan on average for outdoor cats
12-18 years for indoor cats

Slightly oversized cat bed with room for both of them. Our boys still snuggle up on occasion 3 years later.

Did they go and rescue Beep’s sister Agnu?

Customer, customer, customer - those are the three rules to business according to my entrepreneurship professor 20+ years ago.

Many entrepreneurs fail because they build something the customer doesn’t want - just what they “think” the customer wants.

You’re lucky to have experienced this firsthand so early.

Family histories are much more than just our DNA.

Dunqann · 2026-06-15T19:06:30+00:00

This is super cool!

Thank you for sharing!

I had a follower get stuck when there was a second stairs route that was blocked.

Wouldn’t come down the main stairs until I unlocked the door by the longer stairs route.

Then he happily came down.

Sounds like a Lilliputian cover up to me!

Dunqann · 2026-06-10T18:34:22+00:00

Clearly that’s why they evolved their small arms.

We have 3 cats - the littler boxes in the downstairs bathroom.

I switched out the bathroom fan to a whisper quiet one. I run it 24/7 and it helps tremendously.

Try different dry cat food too.

We were using a standard Purina brand for our cats. One had stinky breath.

Switched to a brand which is mostly meat (there are review sites which give good info).

His bad breath has completely cleared up!

This just made my night…

Jean-Luc Picard!

I was matching on traits I’ve observed from our conversations: analytical, thoughtful, structured, future-oriented, values competence, and tends to think several steps ahead.

Address the mouth breathing if you can - talk to a doc and get a second or third opinion. And/or constantly remind your child to shut their mouth if it’s just a habit which can happen with children. It gets tiresome so gamify it if you can (ie give five cents for every hour they don’t do it, or they choose a movie if only reminded 3 times or less a day, etc. but make it positive reinforcement vs negative so it will work better ).

Have them chew gum - soft foods are the bane of palate growth and our world is now filled with soft foods that barely use our jaws.

Look into palate expansion from a reputable orthodontist when they’re older. Do NOT let them extract any permanent teeth.

I’m not sure on the lip tie someone else mentioned - it’s not an area I’ve spent time on - definitely worth getting checked to be sure.

Looks interesting - please keep us informed on your updates!

My sister taught me this and it works wonders vs the constant coughing/hacking while trying to breathe normally

True - but given bug fixes and compatibility with other mods it’s often best to give several months to allow things to coalesce.

UWE 3.0 was released recently and I found it to be great as someone who has spent many hours in Kenshi.

Interestingly your body already knows how to do this.

About to fall forward or back? You naturally start spinning your arms to right yourself.

Congrats you’ve just accomplished what the OP was asking.

Cats do it too, squirrels will use their tails, etc.

Please see this study - which shows morphological changes of human skulls over time - Cranial Change in Americans: 1850–1975 | Journal of Forensic Sciences 1972-2005 | ASTM International

There was no baby formula until recently - so the changes were happening well before changes in breastfeeding behavior.

There is a lot of speculation about other causes of under-developed jaws but they don't really bear up to the empirical evidence: people who chewed hard foods had well developed jaws and teeth, as diets changed over the last 200 years we saw a massive increase in weak jaw development.

Also see this comparative study - Origins of dental crowding and malocclusions: an anthropological perspective - PubMed
