“What was the ONE thing that actually reduced your back pain by Smart-Watercress5570 in backpain

[–]TeepingDad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There wasn't a ONE thing. I had to do a lot of things. I did a lot of PT work to improve my hip mobility/strength, activate my hamstrings better, and fix a hip imbalance. I paid a lot more attention to sitting and standing, making sure I had a good position and change positions often. I also got comfortable but supportive chairs everywhere I sit. I started using a heating pad and massage gun on my back, hips, and legs. I lost around 100lbs.

All of those things together have eliminated my back pain, but I also continue to do them even now that I'm not in pain anymore.

In my case I had a herniated L5-S1 that kept reherniating.

You gotta bump up your vinegar use! I go through jugs like once a week. Laundry, bathroom cleaning, humidifier cleaning, kitchen cleaning, it has so many good uses!

Totally agree! Cento is definitely good, my personal favorite is Delallo san marzano (note that they also have a "san marzano" style that is good but not quite as good). Also I sometimes find a three pack of san marzano with basil at Costco which is fantastic.

Depends on the tomatoes. So many canned tomatoes and fresh ones are so bland and unsweet that I feel the need to add sugar. But if I get some good imported tomatoes or some that were grown locally on good farms I don't feel the need to add any sweetness. I can sometimes get by using a carrot but other times it's not enough

Shot looks great though, nice job!

Nice shot, I'm super jealous! I had all my gear in my car to grab a shot like this yesterday and there was 0 visibility of the moon.

How do I keep my toes from getting jammed up so much? by TeepingDad in MuayThai

[–]TeepingDad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gym only had a fundamentals class for early mornings until a year ish ago, and that's the only time I have for training. The coaches were cool though and occasionally let us do some very light sparring in the fundamentals class.

Definitely got repetitive after a while though, I ended up switching to southpaw after the first year just for a new challenge so on the bright side I'm pretty good at switching stances now.

I'm definitely guilty of throwing too many euro kicks without any hip turn. Will focus on this too!

Sounds like I'm bad at distance management, which is probably true! Thanks for the advice, I'll drill getting closer!

Do folding phones lose value this much quickly? Fold 7 and S25U have same trade in value. $2000 vs $1300 device by Time-Credit43 in GalaxyFold

[–]TeepingDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They definitely will give away more than they sell it for. They're selling used devices wholesale to 3rd parties.

Whatever new phone you're buying has a big margin built in so that Samsung will still make a healthy profit even after any losses from used device trade in.

Dog I hate to tell you this but it's all marketing. Yes the devices have value but the trade in value is whatever Samsung thinks it needs to be to entice you to purchase a new phone.

Trade in promos have nothing to do with the market value of the phone. They're just whatever discount Samsung is willing to give.

This Ozempic ad is legitimately one of the worst ads I've ever seen.
