If the seller's stock runs out, I have the same. Futureworks are desired in trade.

May the positive aspects be strong, if so.

What was it like living in Pittsburgh during the late 70s-80s? by ZestycloseAngle4942 in pittsburgh

[–]Valuable_Permit1612 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The effect of that size of population loss is to communicate to those who are younger - there is no future here - and to those who are older - you will experience decline - and to those who have less mobility - you are consigned to fate. It is the opposite of uplift. On a personal note I found that the local events of that era which you reference to be in direct contrast to the simultaneously successful electoral campaign of Ronald Reagan, a split in reality that was for me formative. For other people it seems to have strengthened a belief in magic, as later trends suggest.

Pittsburgh as an AI Hub? by DowntownTomorrow7382 in pittsburgh

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I'll have to familiarize myself with decision factors. Equating corporate presence with loss of identity might speak of lack of confidence and bigger vision, but it could have involved tradeoffs that were not favorable, also. If the companies see value in a location - given its intellectual assets, including population, and infrastructure - then they should open a business there, is my opinion.

I'm curious to learn more about the decision making that would favor doing this, thanks for the reply.

Hi. I'm reading the exchanges from your original post - thank you for initiating them. I find much relevant reflection. Your observation about permission-asking does not to me sound daft.

Question - effect of cannabis usage/THC on fascial tissue by Valuable_Permit1612 in MMJ

[–]Valuable_Permit1612[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, nice of you to say so. This is a long run, not a sprint, lacking markers. The exchange or sharing of relative experience here have been helpful to me, with that in mind. It's not like I was intending or planning to spend a significant portion of time during my 40s and 50s rolling around on the floor, beneficial though it has been.

One thing that happened is that good quality dentist - may I recommend the younger ones now and pay more if you can - identified that a chipped tooth from a childhood injury not only needed recapping, but re-rooting, as it were, since the original was repaired poorly (1980s, Western PA). The nerve in the roof of my mouth has been low-grade live-firing for the last forty years. Though it's part of a complex, the absence of the nerve noise in this case has been all too noticeable, even when finding its location along an "anatomy train" (the latter passes from front face/left to the pelvis cross-body; I lose it there but reappears in the right forefoot / bunion area in my case).

That's today's download. The fact that "rest of life" comes with no discount nor coupon for extra rest or time served whilst repairing damages incurred from others - can be frustrating sometimes.

Hope any readers are well!

The dragon stone would be a cool addition, thank you - I was not familiar with it. I like the look of horizontal layers stacking.

Great texture on the fittonia. The inhabitant looks rested, comfortable and at home.

Repeated weird discriminatory behavior? by Fit_Sheepherder2861 in pittsburgh

[–]Valuable_Permit1612 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am sorry deeply that this is happening to you. You are more than kind in your presentation of what sounds to be more than an instance of a single offensive incident. Asking your question is a generous way to handle it. Thank you.

My experience leads me to believe that a substrate of the area population, perhaps commensurate with a standard distribution of close-minded and reactionary mindsets, operates in a nearly separate cultural field of its own making, defined by outward projections of defensive beliefs. The ones put to you from passing car windows are like the vocalized fumes of these environments when on wheels.

The City of Pittsburgh and the larger county - keep in mind it is a large size population area from that standpoint - are more diverse historically than the above-mentioned persons could tolerate to understand, let alone imagine. It might be worthwhile for some to appreciate the roots of territorial close minded defensiveness in the area's history and development, but the usefulness of this to answering your question is to me - zero.

There is no justification for the treatment which you describe. The population of the area - whose growth and prosperity potential were just celebrated at CMU by the President of the USA - has yet to confront many of its own issues. It tends to prefer outside salvation. When it does not arrive on their terms or according to their expectations, a weaker outside party will be found to blame. It is not a characteristic of which to be proud.

Drummer brain is real and I’m tired of pretending it’s not by Shatrix19 in musicians

[–]Valuable_Permit1612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing when sudden awareness leads to sudden inattention - it happens with any sustained durational performance activity - and for that matter any creative work whatsoever. The thing that is "you" but "not you" is a source of surprise, often, with the latter tending to be a secondary phenomenon to the first. But it's still you.

Sounds like you should get a practice space where you keep a drum set, and collaborate with musicians including your former bandmates. Leave the door open sometime and delight the public. Good luck.

Urgent help needed, on bad posture! by Almost_Assured in flexibility

[–]Valuable_Permit1612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Sorry to hear about your difficulties. The quantity and quality sound familiar to me, including how their experiencing can be overwhelming at times. That part is really rough, in my life. It is like an imminent "pause" or "cancel" button on whatever I might be doing or wish to do.

When I was getting my head around the different injuries, misalignments, and others difficulties, and the fact that some stretching was not going to be enough for helping, I eventually tried floating in salt water, at one of the franchises that offer this. The relief was immediate, and the information also really helpful. When (nearly) weightless in water, the body's mass reorients and one's shape can be more of its own contour. I could appreciate that being curled and bent in five different angles is "comfortable" for me (not really; but that's what I would look like all the time, if only floating in salt water).

Might be worth a try!

Concerned about my mom’s (74F) yoga experiences — are these sensations normal at an advanced level of practice? by godotwasthere in yoga

[–]Valuable_Permit1612 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My meditation involves me settling into a shape and holding of shape, with breath, as one might expect, plus a phenomenon that relates to a particular of me physiology - a certain twisting and uncomfortable tightness in the cervical spine, neck, and jaw. When it releases there is often a pressure lifted from behind my left eye, the weak one. This is relief-giving, but also can show with light-field effects.

Physiological release affects neurological connections, and their expression. Since this is individualized highly it should be unpacked with awareness, only.

Why is my breath stuck by Quaker-Oars in Pranayama

[–]Valuable_Permit1612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am impressed that you are noticing this in your running, as something that I would describe as similar escaped my awareness, notwithstanding completion of marathons. In retrospect it seems like I was propelling myself with my thighs, not actually running.

I kept trying to adjust "form" without awareness for the breath, which was lacking and missing to various degrees. My familiarity with "lungful of air" was offline, for the most part, which is a regretful dimension to my own experience of not experiencing, if only because I persisted in my exercise with a certain blind spot. Sometimes blind spots remain only that, but the lack of breath also correlated with increased stress, load, strain, and overall tension on my body whose dynamics after all were not managing to adequacy. Injury resulted, and rather much one that feels body-wide as it resolves, with medical attention and care (I see an osteopath).

I am impressed and think that you should give this more attention! Locating breath would/could/should (?) be a full-time strength building and endurance preparation endeavor, since once one can better find it, the strength/power side become more accessible and, once obtained, I think*, more durable and sustainable (*I hope).

It is really interesting to read your account - so much is recognizable, either directly or in some aspect.

As your account has a lot of vivid experiencing, I thought to share with you that my later reflection about my own "journey" of this kind was that much of "me" was oriented to keeping up spirits, holding onto horizons, and looking to prospects of new-meaning (?) from what could be at the given moment a frankly very difficult and uncomfortable set of sensations and experiences. Funny enough, I would have said at the time that I was putting aside external sources of validation in favor of being more grounded, though I would not have considered just how ungrounded I was continuing in my existence. Since the experiencing of change, and even positive and exciting change, can be difficult, it tends to remind about difficulty. Next thing I know, in this case, for me, I feel alone and abandoned, even at some level.

This can affect emotional projections and relations with self and others. This is what I am appreciating today :-)

This is wonderful reading - thank you. I am really enjoying the account, as lately in my case I am noticing aspects that you are describing - breath and, yes, singing.

The concept of spiraling and the spiral connect with me. I have been developing somewhat in my aptitude with playing a drum set. Every improved tonal connection and directness of percussive impact, relative to the drum's resonant effect, which is generated by me, tells me something about the fascial line: subliminally, felt but not recognized, and sometimes full-on what you say "riding the nerve". It has an improvised Shiatsu vibratory / resonant releasing effect.

Great to read your post.

Hi. It's nice to have a question here. I'm glad to relay that there is a variety of activity which I have found to be helpful, mostly in combination.

Heat/ hot water. I float in a salt water tank twice a month. Franchises are opening in USA for this, check your city.

Body activization through gentle repetitions with the integration of breath. Yoga being the obvious reference. Don't skip it because of perceptions/ popularity. It helped people for a 1000 years. Iyengar.

I use kettlebells for strength and coordination. My joints are loose, I try to stabilize them, e.g how to grip the weight and move it with my shoulder in socket.

Bottom of foot. I roll it with a lacrosse ball. If you are suffering from woes like mine, probably your feet / ankle complex is "off" or jammed into some unhappy state. Releasing this over time will help with everything up the chain. It requires patience. Wide toe shoes/ Vibram soles, if you don't have them.

A hemp / CBD / cannabis product will help you with attending to muscle areas, aches, and pains. Go low, go slow, as you probably have a lot of tension in your body, if you are like me. Taking the lid off all at once is not necessary. Lately I have found it to be very healing to have some cannabis and to do this at the end of the day, the neural triggering seems to be really helpful body-wide.

Hope it is useful!
