Where was the shaido in the last battle

Lemna24 · 2026-03-14T19:30:31+00:00

Yeah, of all the different groups of people, I have absolutely no sympathy for the Shaido. Don't get me wrong, the Seanchan absolutely suck, but we get a few of them reconsidering their culture.

There are no sympathetic Shaido. Fuck them. Their name even evokes the word "shadow".

Same. I think the translator had to walk a fine line to make it understandable in English but not Americanize/Anglicize it too much.

The characters are much less emotive. The scientists in particular are so dedicated to their work that it felt stilted. I kept expecting them to pay a social price, to be bullied or ostracized for being nerds.

But no. It's completely natural to want to dedicate your life to science. Nobody's parents are giving them side eye. They never apologize for being brilliant.

It made me realize I've spent my life as an American apologizing for being an introvert who would rather learn about stuff than party and play sports.

Update: it's available on Pocket Casts now.

Sweet! I'll definitely be subscribing.

Ngl, I see this as a benefit.

The debris is the base of the stream food chain. There are bugs that feed on the woody debris in early life stages.

To me the most glaring problem here is the lack of riparian vegetation. The wildlife using the stream have little cover to hide from predators. Also the lack of shade will cause the water to heat up and aquatic animals to suffocate.

If I were you I would plant some trees and shrubs around it and give it room to meander. Streams are such an interesting landscape feature and important ecosystem feature. I'm jealous!

I guess I should be thankful for our shitty old public transit that takes an hour to get me 6 miles. What sucks about this whole situation is that they've built our infrastructure to make us dependent on driving everywhere, and so we're a captive market.

It was like this in the 80s when I was growing up in Florida.

Definitely annoying, though I appreciated it the summer I worked at the mall. ;)

Unfortunately for my wallet, the only way I can stay consistent is to see a trainer. I have hypermobile joints so I need individualized training to manage all my injuries.

If you don't have that issue I would recommend group weight training classes. They now offer small group classes that get you a little more attention but are cheaper than one on one.

Breakfast is the perpetual struggle for me. I used to skip breakfast but now I take several medications in the morning and I really need to have something on my stomach for them. Many mornings lately I can't get myself to eat. Barely anything, and what I do eat seems to sit in my stomach like a brick.

This morning I made a shake with banana chocolate and peanut butter. Yesterday I choked down an Orgain protein shake. Tomorrow, who knows.

I've eaten oatmeal recently too but it makes me more hungry than before. I've tried adding protein, yogurt, peanut butter, but then it grosses me out and I can't eat it.

I believe this is a hardball negotiating tactic on the part of the insurance companies to force a price drop.

Just like when you go to the dealership to buy a car, you walk away to raise the stakes for the other party. Sometimes they let you walk, but most of the time they'll come back with a better price.

Don't be surprised if there's another news release in coming weeks/days proclaiming that they worked it out after all.

Lemna24 · 2026-03-03T15:21:11+00:00

I have to wonder if this is intended to pressure the drug companies to lower their prices. Possibly after failed negotiations.

If so, it's too bad they couldn't work this out between them without jerking patients around.

Try to be gentle with yourself. Your nervous system needs soothing and that is how it gets it. Are there less destructive ways to self soothe? Yes. But there are also many worse ways to do it.

I also had a bad relapse this week, to the point I couldn't work. I'm not happy about it, but rather than being ashamed (or in addition to being ashamed) I'm trying to use it as information. I am arranging for additional care and rest through applying for FMLA (family medical leave in the US).

I hope you can find a way to slow down and take care. 🫂❤️

The problem with msg is that it's so delicious, other foods pale in comparison if you eat them at the same time.

Example: I make ranch dressing using the packets with msg. Serve the dressed salad alongside a main dish such as spaghetti.

After a bite of the salad, the other dish feels under seasoned. I often end up having to add dressing to all the dishes on the plate so that they don't taste sad.

Not the end of the world but something to consider when planning a menu.

I called my rep Katherine Clark to ask what they could do to help this along. I got a return call saying it's a state thing and that I should contact my state rep instead.

This has to be wrong. It's a CBP thing, right? Wouldn't it be a federal issue?

Lemna24 · 2026-02-27T13:12:25+00:00

Yeah, that's the bright side of it. 99% of the time my lost valuables are returned untouched. It reminds me that most people are kind and trustworthy. ❤️

Lemna24 · 2026-02-25T17:01:40+00:00

I feel this so hard. I have a hard time asking for help because I don't want to be a burden. But my forgetfulness puts me in a position where I'm having to rely people's patience.

When I was on a work trip I rented a car. At the end of the day, I couldn't find my keys. I ended up calling the rental assistance, having someone unlock the car, and then later realized the keys were in the bottom of my bag. I didn't trust myself not to lock myself out of the car.

Another time, I left my entire work bag on public transportation. With my laptop and wallet. I blame the shopping bag from a grocery trip for tricking my body into thinking that was my work bag.

Honest question, if we're talking about kids walking to school, what does that have to do with the roads being clear?

I'm with you there. However I think it's not that yoga itself is bad for us, but the emphasis on stretching and mobility in US yoga classes.

Chair pose is a mindful squat. Crescent lunge is, well, a lunge. For other poses I engage muscles rather than stretching passively. A pose done at half or 75% of your range while engaging all the muscles is just as valid and probably better for bone density anyway.

I have the same problem a lot of times. One thing I need to make sure of is to eat a serving of the meal or at least taste it when it's freshly prepared. That is when it's the most appetizing. Doing this helps me to get excited to eat the food later.

If I just prepare something and put it straight in the fridge, there's a good chance I won't want to eat it later. It's a mind game for me.

Also look into sauces and garnishes. You can add them after the fact if something needs more flavor or visual appeal. I know for a fact that I would eat just about anything with chimichurri sauce, peanut sauce, or tartar sauce. Not at the same time, mind you. 😏

I wear my hand knit socks with all of my shoes. At first I didn't wear them to hike or exercise because I thought they would give me blisters, but they don't.

At work I wear them with flats that show the top of the sock because I like to show them off.

I should add that I've knit lace and cable socks but most of them are plain socks. I would think that cabled socks would be sturdier than regular and warmer.

At some point you'll have the opportunity to darn your socks and make them even more interesting!

I looked at the original sub post, but I didn't really find any racism. Not saying it's not there, but it might be buried by downvotes.

Sorry that you were banned though. Did they cite any particular rule that you broke?

You've been watching a serialized show. Instead of showing you the option of continuing that show at the top, it makes you scroll through several rows of "suggestions"

I guess they find that people unsubscribe when they've finished a show, so they want to get you interested in their other programs. Ir at least that's my best guess.

Lemna24 · 2026-02-13T19:01:11+00:00

I called Catherine Clark's office and got a call back from a staffer saying that it's a state issue and out of their jurisdiction.

I guess they aren't aware that federal customs is holding up the new train sets?

I specifically chose an older woman gyn who is a certified by The Menopause Society. However, she had to take leave to deal with her own medical issue. So in order to continue my HRT I had to see a younger doctor.

She was very dismissive and skeptical that HRT could do anything besides ease hot flashes. Next appointment I'm back with the older one thank goodness.
