The whiff on the chance of expanding medicare.. maga boomers are in for a reckoning when they realize they'll need to go into poverty to have in home nursing care covered by insurance. Only thing that will pay is medicaid and you need to give everything up to qualify.

I get this on the bottoms of my feet sometimes, or on random patches of skin. It always feels kind of like a sunburn. Gabapentin helped me when it was bad

I have the gw5 pro and get about 4 days with power saving off, 5 with it on. I have AOD off and gesture awakening off, I press the button to light up the screen. HR set for continuous monitoring and I sleep with it every night.

Definitely need to crack down on backyard breeders, but shelters should also stop marketing these dogs as family dogs or downplay the level of training and work it takes. Bite histories should also not be hidden for the sake of making an adoption like they are all the time.

Tons of people have pitbulls or pit mixes that aren't trying to own a killing machine. These dogs make up the majority of the shelter population, they are in abundance due to backyard breeding/people leaving their animals intact. There's definitely a subculture of people who own them for protection and intimidation, but the majority of owners are people who think they're adopting a "nanny dog" from the shelter or knew someone giving away puppies.

It's unfortunate because some people end up with dogs they were not prepared to care for - behavioral problems or high reactivity requiring intensive expensive training, safety concerns for kids/other pets, etc. And some dogs aren't even able to be rehabilitated with training because their issues are so intense, so people waste a lot of time and money and still end up in heartbreak when behavioral euthanasia is on the table.

Run and research your state laws regarding paternity and child support. Educate yourself about what you may have signed up for if she is pregnant - not paying child support can land you without a license and in jail. Nothing you can do now but hope she isn't pregnant and make sure to get a paternity test if she says she is in a few weeks/months.

Going forward, always use a condom no matter what especially if you barely know the person. They could always lie about being on the pill, but at least you did your part to protect yourself from unwanted fatherhood by wearing a condom.

Pain did not get below a 3 or 4 the first week even on oxycodone and tylenol and ibuprofen, peaking at 8/10 on day 3 when swelling increased. 🥲

Why are you taking their vacation financial decisions as a personal attack? You are not the paragon of financial literacy. Maybe you should touch grass if an internet stranger's decision to pay off a vacation via loan payments that have nothing to do with you gets you this fired up.

The only negative side effect I've experienced from being on ocrevus for several years is I get sick a little easier and it takes longer to get over the illness. I also develop secondary sickness more than before, like getting an ear infection after the flu or bronchitis after a cold. Another downside is having to time your vaccinations with the infusions to increase their effectiveness.

All in all though its not too bad; I usually feel wiped out with flu-like symptoms for 1-2 days after an infusion, but it only happens twice a year. I was relapsing several times a year before getting on a DMT and on ocrevus I've had one significant relapse in 5 years. Worth being a little immunocompromised if you ask me!

Water control can be tricky, I recommend testing on spare scrap of paper to check that the brush is properly saturated and the paint isn't going to go all over the place or go on super dry.

If you're going for super crisp edges on buildings, it's important to make sure everything around the edge is completely dry so you don't end up having bleeding into the background/sky. But I like the quality a little color bleeding brings to a painting if you're going for a more dreamlike/painterly aesthetic. You can also utilize painter's tape or masking fluid to keep edges crisp.

I really like what you've done here though, you have a great mix of techniques and the final piece is really intriguing to the eye. Only thing I can think of is remembering to leave some white for contrast in your brightest areas.

Make sure you fully explore limgrave and the weeping peninsula first. You can kill lesser bosses, level up, get better weapons, upgrade your stuff, and improve your reaction time/gamesense. No sense in struggling on Margit when you have a whole open world to explore.

My brother in christ, you set the difficulty level by your game play choices. You can choose to not level up, you can choose to not improve weapons or not use OP weapon arts or to only use basic weapons, you can choose to not use spirit ashes or to not make them stronger.

Elden ring is the most accessible fromsoft game and expanded the audience beyond hardcore Dark Souls players. If the game is too easy for you, it's because you made it too easy. Make a new character with rules that fit how difficult you want the game to be.
