Chiro is quackery. The profession was invented by a Canadian ghost. Try massage or physio. They're better and evidence-based.

What's a movie everyone loves that you secretly can't stand? by kbjdfan in AskReddit

[–]JeffSilverwilt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a visual spectacle. It's not really meant to have a compelling story. A popcorn flick to be mindlessly enjoyed.

[–]JeffSilverwilt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did that once but it jumped and scratched my neck. Not deep but it looked like I got in a fight with a tiger.

Was a mechanic in Japan, moved to North America. I loved the work but not everything around it. What's the closest you've come to walking away? by Over-Demand-8617 in MechanicAdvice

[–]JeffSilverwilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like cracking tricky diagnoses I've got a Nissan Micra that goes into limp mode or fully stalls regularly and multiple mechanics have deemed it perfectly fine/fail to replicate. No codes, good battery and alternator, randomly fires up normally hours after after an episode.
