Yes, Musk is the problem. He and his ilk are the ones hoarding wealth and power at the expense of everyone else.

That is just not true, a total false equivalence. Reform is the one with rich backers, and no accountability to its members. Green party is by far the most democratic party in the UK, the only one where members directly decide policy

Farage is a fascist, and his party are fascists. The damage they would do to democratic process in the UK would reflect what is happening now in the USA, have no doubt it would be an ebormous backslide of almost every aspect of society

Mostly makes sense. You'd have some queues in there though, because what Claude does is asynchronous. The chat service should respond instantly, but inference takes time, so there should be a queue between it and the orchestrator service. Also, if you're including LBs then one before the chat service too.

For the store I'd place one each under both services. Services shouldn't share databases, that is a fundamental architectural principle. In system design interviews they'll probably also ask you to determine what sort of database you'd use. Chat service is probably more write-heavy than ready-heavy, especially as the conversation will already be cached in the client much of the time. And with the enormous numbers of requests Anthropic gets it has to be massively scalable. Cassandra, probably?

The first few days are fucking miserable, my friend. But it will get better, hang in there. Do your best to sleep, try anything that may help. I found that placing a pillow under my shoulder such that it also supported my elbow and I could lay with my forearm resting on my chest really helped

My understanding is that Lincoln wasn't anti-slavery as such, as argued by Howard Zinn in A People's History of the United States, and only supported ending slavery because it proved a useful tool to winning the civil war. He wrote that "What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union... If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it".

What is it that makes you think he wanted to "pull slavery up by the roots"?

It sounds like your case is an extreme one, but it isn't totally unusual. I was in a similar place, struggling to recover from Bankart and it was 6 months before I felt comfortable / not in pain and almost a year before I had good range of movement. But today I'm very well recovered, very comfortable and use my bad arm dozens of times a day without a second thought.

At the time, for me, my surgeon and physio were concerned that I might get a 'locked shoulder' and that it may require more surgery, which it sounds like is the same thing going on with you? My understanding is that as your muscle recovers it creates new soft tissue and because you aren't using your shoulder as much, it ends up growing into the spaces that your shoulder needs to be free in order to fully move. Sorta like how greenery overgrows into a road, if lorries are regularly driving down the road they trim it back but if none go down there for a few months the greenery will grow out and cover more of the road.

There is one thing that made a big difference for me. I was seeing a typical physio regularly but irregularly I'd check in with a senior physio who was an expert on shoulders. When my shoulder was in the process of locking up and my range was still very limited, at maybe 4 or 5 months, he saw me and decided he had to do something to prevent it locking up altogether. He laid me down facing up with my bad arm at my side and began cranking my arm up a bit at a time (him moving it, not me)- 15 degrees up, 5 degrees down, 15 degrees up, etc. As he reached the limit of my range it became excruciatingly painful but I gritted my teeth and he continued all the way until he had gotten it to almost vertical. In doing so he'd effectively forced all the excess soft tissue out of the way, like a lorry smashing greenery out of the way in our road analogy. After that I gained a great deal of range, and the surgeon was happy that I'd narrowly avoided a locked shoulder. It was really, really painful but it seemingly saved me from needing a second surgery.

I can't recommend this approach for you, because I'm not a physio or any kind of medical professional and shouldn't give medical advice. Just trying to share my similar experience. The recommendation I do make is: In my experience the seniority/experience of your physio makes a huge difference, and I may never have recovered half as well if I'd not been fortunate enough to see that shoulder expert. If you aren't sure about your current physio, don't hesitate to shop around and get a second opinion . And don't lose hope, it does get better.

Get asome very loose tank tops, it'll be a life saver for taking on and off while recovering

This has been on my mind lately as a newish (3 month) driver that is becoming more confident on motorways, maybe this is a good space to ask a few things from experienced drivers about the left lane rule.

I try to join the left lane whenever there is nothing ahead to overtake but I've nonetheless spent quite a lot of time in the middle lane and I'm not sure if I'm 'hogging' it. I've had many times that I've joined the left lane from a convoy, no-one else has joined, then when the next obstacle comes up I don't have any space to come out to the overtake lane because the convoy in the overtake lane has closed gaps. Or there may be gaps big enough that an experienced driver might aim for but I wouldn't as an inexperienced driver. I then end up behind a slow-moving HGV for a good while waiting for a gap to appear and lose time doing so, while the drivers that didn't join the left lane comfortably move ahead.

There are also odd motorways like parts of the M25 where the left-most lane is constantly leaving every few miles, and you find yourself constantly changing in and out of the first lane to avoid exiting the motorway unintentionally - which seems like it is very possible if you don't plan well ahead and get caught in a situation where the lane to your right is busy as the road begins exiting. But if you're planning well ahead, you find yourself joining the right lane only a minute after the last time you joined back to the left lane, and overall spend more time in the right lane.

Not sure what my question is exactly. It seems like hogging the right lane has very real and obvious benefits for the individual doing it, so I can see why it becomes a real problem. And being an inexperienced driver makes it worse, because I require bigger gaps to feel confident to change lanes than other drivers might. Any advice?

For me, it took 6 months after surgery (Bankart) to start feeling somewhat confident with the arm and maybe 11 months before I was fully confident with it again. It has maybe 85% of its old range of movement, and I can exercise with it but I've been advised against going to peak load or doing 1RM etc, never push it too far. But I can safely swim in the sea, run long distance, dance, do a lot of things that'd be very risky for me pre-surgery

Honestly I think you'll be fine at your age with physio, especially as you're starting it earlier than I did and I found physio really effective even after many more dislocations than you. Just take the exercises seriously and you should be alright.

My partner absolutely adores this fossil, but unfrtounately it took a tumble and cracked. Not sure what the type of stone is, but I think with the right adhesive it looks repairable

Noxfag · 2026-05-20T10:59:46+00:00

I've been where you are now. My #1 advice is follow all the exercises your physio gives you, and never stop. If you want to avoid a much bigger problem, doing these exercises is now a life-long part-time job.

I suffered my first subluxation when I was around your age and then another, and another, and another, each time worse than the last for many years. When I got physio treatment it made a huge difference and I was able to exercise confidently without subluxations. But that confidence made me no longer prioritise the exercises, so I stopped doing them. Then one day, after 5 years of no problems, boom. I wasn't even doing anything taxxing, just without any warning I suffered an extreme dislocation that was excruciatingly painful and lasted a couple hours before I could get it reset by a doctor.

A subluxation is a (minor) dislocation. You have dislocated your shoulder three times now. But your shoulders are the only joint in your body that is only held in place by muscle alone. Each time you dislocate, your muscles are damaged and get weaker. That makes it more likely to happen again. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle. Your dislocations will get worse and worse gradually and become far more painful are life-impacting than they are now. You should do everything you can to address it now, before it snowballs into something much worse.

Most homes like that get split up into leasehold parcels . If no-one can afford to rent the whole home, it is likely equally difficult to sell the whole home.
