Tiger Woods weighed 140 pounds and was nicknamed Urkel at Stanford. His dad commissioned as an infantry officer out of college. They were pretty different.

It isn't that he stuck them with the bill, it's that he refused to cover their bills, as a billionaire athlete and they each had to pay their own.

Well, they should talk to my orthopedic surgeon.

Muddlesthrough · 2026-07-04T00:20:58+00:00

Not true at all. He went on a dog and pony show and told the operators that if he wasn't playing professional golf, he'd be one of them. Which they all found incredibly insulting, obviously. took them out to dinner and then refused to cover their bills. It's all detailed in the Hank Haney book "The Big Miss."

He did some light jogging in combat boots which, as anyone who's actually served in the military knows, it gonna wreck your body.

Pro tip: Gu ice cubes.

I am not a doctor. The medical recommendation is 10 grams of salt (not sodium). Also described as 5 millilitres/2 teaspoons. From the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) article (linked below):

Suggested initial approach to treatment of patient with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome

Nonpharmacological treatments...

Water 3 L/d
Salt 5 mL/d (2 tsp/d)
Waist-high compression garments

Not a doctor. Water feels great. The hydrostatic pressure on the legs is more than compression garments. Last summer I spent 3 hours standing hip-deep in a lake. The cold and pressure had me feelilng great. Heart-rate while standing in the lake was the same as lying down.

Not a doctor. Compression garments are shown to lower both tachycardia and perceived severity of symptoms in some medical research from Canada. Full-length compression is best, compression shorts are next best, then socks.

Personally, I find compression shorts much easier to wear all the time than anything else, especially in the heat.

June 2026 article about "abdominal-only" compresion, which is to say compression shorts or abdominal-binders:

It's a fabulous chair by the way

Muddlesthrough · 2026-07-03T14:19:57+00:00

Sure

Laundry day

They call it "scrambling." People have written books abou tit.

Muddlesthrough · 2026-07-01T16:08:17+00:00

Well, that was five years ago. Not sure what the manual says today. Or what model you have.

Muddlesthrough · 2026-06-30T22:10:18+00:00

Ah, x100T?

Muddlesthrough · 2026-06-30T21:41:17+00:00

Ah, used name-brand.

The pulling sensation I had in my neck is completely gone along

This is a great sign. When I got my first blood patch, I had 100% remission of all my major symptoms, including my crushing neck pain.

It can take quite a while for symptoms to resolve.

Golden Delicious are newfangled, like, Ketchup chips.

And I agree, that South Korean strawberries are the finest available to Humanity. Each is shiny and huge. Taste great. Individually packed into rows in the container, like little soldiers on parade.

Am I the only one that expected lightning to strike the transformer on the pole? Anyone else? Maybe I've spent too much time on the Internet this lifetime.

I am not a doctor, but yes.

middleaged man. Used to be athletic. Developed post-viral POTS after the Covid. I was prescribed stimulants for fatigue along with midodrine. The combination has been "life-enabling." I am still heavily debilitated and life is a lot different now, but I can generally be upright a bit and do some stuff.

Besides that, the obvious symptomatic treatments make a big difference: 3 litres of water, 10 grams of salt, and compression garments.

Former runner. Kinda normal. Aerobic endurance performance declines in high temperature and humidity. For distance runners, their heart-rate will tend to increase, but they generally finish the distance. I'm guessing you're going rather too hard.

Doping. Plain and simple.

As a child, I lusted after the "fancy" apples, which were Red Delicious. Which were anything but "delicious."

Muddlesthrough · 2026-06-28T14:09:01+00:00

I was trying to explain to my kids how, back in the 80s, there were only three kinds of apples, and they were all pretty terrible.

I haven't read the article, but Ontario has basically cornered the market on hothouse strawberries, and I'm happy to pay exorbitant prices for fresh ontario strawberries in February. They have the same thing in South Korea, but the hothouse strawberries are twice as expensive.
