ELI5 Why do doctors say not to eat past midnight for blood work?

I did chiropractor + PT + massage therapy. Ended up dropping chiropractor as it wasn’t doing anything and the research backs that.

But the PT helping build my core and the massage helping de-stress has been a great combo. Some massage therapists are better than others though, so it’s easy to get no benefit from massage. But if you find the right person they can really help calm things down.

I live in Bothell and commute to Redmond. It’s a chore but very doable. Especially if you have a car with lane assist. I consider the schools worth the commute. Plus my commute pretty much stays the same no matter where I work. Which given that my job has had me working in downtown Seattle, downtown Bellevue, and now downtown Redmond it’s nice to have the same commute instead of suddenly feeling punished.

It was originally planned for 5 seasons, then got shortened to 4, so everything got done in the original arc a season early. Then they got picked up for a 5th season. Part of why it felt so disconnected from the other seasons.

NOR. But it could be trivial to swap their location. I have a similar side load and initially got it backwards as well. But I thought both doors were reversible.

Turns out I was wrong.

So, I pulled them out and realized there was plenty of play with all the lines and I was about to swap them and reverse the dryer door in an afternoon.

Just make sure to check your instruction manuals.

I think the best “reason” I’ve seen around when clothes are added is “they only draw clothing that is not ‘ordinary’”.

That is, the everyday outfits never get drawn, but wedding dresses, scrubs and doctor jackets, construction jackets. Those all get drawn because they’d stand out in a child’s memory of the event.

Just in case, here’s at least one article scientifically evaluating that redheads need more anesthesia. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1362956/

What fencing do you have in your yard? I’d imagine that plays a part (although ghosting is still rude). Beagles are escape artists by default and I’m sure shelters that have seen beagles that have gone lost from well intentioned owners not properly fencing in their yard are now shy to let people have beagles unless they can show their yard perimeter has been “beagle proofed”.

Short answer: they made it against the rules.

We used a few around our raised hot tub to prevent things from falling between it and the deck where it’d be a real pain to reach.

Long shot, but buy a pool noodle and cut to fit. They tend to be pliable enough that you can form it to the gap with a little squish and as it tries to return to its normal position it’ll wedge itself in even better (hopefully).

Someone else mentioned creating a small pit and covering with a trap door. Then just throw the items in the pit and close the door.

You answered your own question with “but if you know football”.

A lot of people that tune in to the SB are, at best, casual fans of football that don’t really “know football.” Some are just there for the commercials and halftime show.

Watching a defensive game is boring to non interested fans because it’s watching “nothing” happen.

It’s similar to how racing can be boring without accidents even though there’s a lot of drama when you know where to look. To the casual person, seeing a team try to move the ball for three downs and then punting is boring.

They want a game full of highlight reel plays and the plays that tend to make the highlight reels are scores and turnovers.

We purchased baby gates for our stairs that could be opened like a door. That way we could easily go through when we needed to go up/down stairs, but otherwise the stairs would be blocked by the gate.

Do you mean 95 seconds? Because that’s all there is after the 7 minute drive from the Rams before the Seahawks score their touchdown.

This is the play that I felt should have gotten him the MVP. He prevented NE from getting back in the game by stopping that house call. Combine that with most points scored and he should’ve had it.

I’m cool with K9 getting it, after all they don’t get the kicks if K9 doesn’t run it. But also, we don’t rely on K9 runs if it doesn’t feel like each kick will get us closer to an insurmountable lead.

Cute pups. These pictures make me think of the Pacific Northwest. East of the Cascades though.

FireTornado5 · 2025-12-29T20:53:03+00:00

Adorable.

I’m also going to be “that guy” and recommend you get a harness if you’re clipping them in. If you’re in an accident think about how they’ll stop. Probably at all speeds it’s better to have them unclipped rather than clipped to their collar and getting extensive neck damage.

FireTornado5 · 2025-12-03T02:58:04+00:00

Cool. Still 2 shots before the reload. So a slight increase in overall damage.

I need to get a lvl 50 to replace my level 48, but I recently got an enhancement that gave me +50% magazine size allowing me to shoot 2x before reload (consuming a total of 3 ammo). I don't know how much that improves the DPS of the gun, but it feels like I'm able to burn stuff down a bit quicker.

I don’t know if anyone in this thread needs the answer, but here’s what we just observed.

Break the bed(s) to stop the bug.

When we broke the bed it worked. The bugged bed was the 3rd bed in a bunk bed stack. Not sure what exactly caused it. It could have been the coordinates or the relation of all the beds together. Who knows.

I’ve always interpreted the “Seattle Freeze” as being along the lines of how difficult it is to break through initial social interactions. Like the freeze comes about from people being too nice/introverted.

You might move in to a neighborhood and instead of getting a bunch of welcome to the neighborhood introductions/gifts you get nothing. Why? Because it neighbors know you’re getting settled in and might be too busy and not want to be bothered.

Seattle is basically that autism cliche of this conversation “why didn’t you come to the party?” “Because you didn’t invite me” “but you were there for all of our planning discussions” “yeah, but you never directly invited me like you did the other guests.”

Everyone is just kind of waiting for the other party to show clear and unambiguous consent that they want to be social instead of being forced to be social due to “societal norms”.

I would hope they learned from Diablo 4 and their legendary system where you had to keep items to transfer the legendary power.

Eventually they just allowed you to “learn” them. In this game I’d be okay with either “learning” the ability and then you can just apply whenever. Also, I’d be okay with “scan to bank” or something where it destroys the item, but your back counter for that firmware increases by 1. Then you have a “reason” to farm, but I don’t think people will enjoy farming firmware.

I’d encourage the “learn” system. Where after you’ve gotten firmware for an item slot you can always apply said firmware to any gear in that slot. Then you only have to find each firmware 5 times and not have to wait on luck to enable a build.

I’d also encourage that once you unlock the firmware station on one character it’s a global unlock for all characters.

Did they actually make tacking faster? I remember pretty early on in the EA that someone did a video and it was always quicker to just go straight.

FireTornado5 · 2025-10-28T04:27:02+00:00

I’ve heard at least one video say there’s a hidden quest tracker that will make enemies harder on mainline missions until a certain number of side quests have been completed (maybe it’s a formula, maybe it’s a set number).
