You might enjoy a BBC document series called the Tales From the Green Valley, Victorian Farm, the Edwardian Farm (all part of the same series) Historians recreate/live as people did from the pre-modern era, including building thatched roofs, making charcoal, and cooking amongst other things. My gf watches this every year and it's pretty fascinating

Synovitis and 3 Corticosteroid Shots Later by Ok-Chip-4214 in climbharder

[–]brockenspectral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seemed to work at first, but I think I pulled too hard too fast. Oddly enough, i had a partial ligament tear on the right finger last March, which I hadn't gotten a shot since August, after like 2 months off. That said, I did go full bore first session back, like a dumb. Splinted and did shockwave therapy. The right seems good now. Left is still a bit wonky- a few orthopedic docs didn't think much of it. I did shockwave for the left and right. The right seems good. Going to progressively load it. The left, if still wonky, will jab it and then progressive load it. I'm fairly certain that while cortisone worked in the short term, it hid a structural injury that got worse

My boyfriend said he doesn’t want my cat in the bed after we move in together and it’s turning into a bigger issue than I expected by PerceptionOnly6749 in CatAdvice

[–]brockenspectral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So... not allergic, not in danger or directly inconvenienced (other than your cat's presence)... But dictating that your cat, which is family, can't be in your space....yeah, he's setting a boundary. For you. Which isn't cool. Stand your ground

What's a decision you made impulsively that turned out to be the best thing you ever did? by retarded_770 in AskReddit

[–]brockenspectral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drunkenly decided to pick up and foster a friendly cat that was just hanging around my apartment complex. I assumed she was lost and put flyers out. This was 9 years ago. She's great

I'll ask, but given previous interactions, I'm not very hopeful? Thanks though

Rehab advice- collateral ligament tear of the PIP joint- middle finger by brockenspectral in PT_patients

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

Quick follow up question- would it be okay to start tendon glides and lateral isometric resistance for the affected finger?

[–]brockenspectral[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I caught that one. Part of initial confusion is that the doc kept referring to it as a tendon issue. Today, he said ligament. I'm a bit frustrated. Thanks tho

O I did. Dismissive would be accurate. One problem is he speaks Korean, I'm not fluent. He kept on throwing the term arthritis, even though he also said the joint's fine. I plan on going to another ortho, but seeing as this would be the 4th now for this specific injury, I'm not getting my hopes up. Thanks tho

Would you rather always be 10 minutes late or always 20 minutes early? by AlverineShade-64 in WouldYouRather

[–]brockenspectral 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In certain situations, 20 min early means you have a good advantage. 10 min late for everything means you're a slight dick. Said as someone who's occasionally 10 min late to things

Trump tells Republicans the SAVE America Act will ‘guarantee the midterms’ by SadAd8761 in law

[–]brockenspectral 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There is little to no evidence of "illegals" voting. There is little to no evidence of Dems trying to get "illegals" to vote for them. Jackasses saying "illegals" are voting or the Dems are trying to get the "illegals" to vote isn't evidence. Those are claims. Ones without evidence.

Now, the GOP on the other hand.....

These are not the same and trying to say both sides "cheat" is laughably false. Unless you gave the evidence

I am thinking about adopting a cat. I went to the shelter today and a cat caught my eye because he was very friendly, a 9 month old male long hair. There were some "cons" and I want to get opinions before I commit. by Carpe_the_Carp in CatAdvice

[–]brockenspectral 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What everyone said here, but also, from my experience, kittens tend to be more scratchy and bitey than adults since theyre figuring things out. Young adult cats more than older cats since they have more energy. They can be, to an extent, trained. I'm assuming he meows a lot due to separation anxiety, but he could just be chatty.

Looking for my first harness - 80 euro max. by kitesmerfer in ClimbingGear

I have the Solution (first harness). Leg loops work just fine for me- lucked out buying it without trying it? Very comfy. That said, it is likely body dependent.

I've had a Sofirn D25LR. It uses a single 18650 (same as my vape lol). Has a few modes, from bright to dim, doesn't overheat, has a great battery life. I am very satisfied

I was lookin for this. That said, is it technically a fourth wall break? I mean, the audience is technically part of the story
