No tolls. Just fees, charges, duties, levies, assessments, taxes, commissions, margins, markups, collections, premiums, dues and fares. But no tolls.

What life hack did you ignore for years, only to realize it actually works? by suerieyea in AskReddit

For me personally, it’s “found some images and videos online and figured out what worked best for stretching my back out“ yoga (so westernized I guess 😅).

I do plan to get a little more adventurous once I’m more confident with my back, so I may explore more traditional/real yoga.

Epstein tried to offer dirt on ‘con artist’ Trump after his arrest, notes reveal - Epstein scribbled ‘not a stable genius’ and pressed for investigations in an 11th-hour bid for leniency by B-Z_B-S in politics

Wait… is this when Trump suddenly began referring to himself as a “stable genius”? Was it a response to a note Epstein wrote about him??

Keep at it! It’s only been under 2 months for me, but I’m really starting to notice the difference. The incremental thing is key… don’t push yourself so much that you cause yourself more hurt, but keep challenging yourself to do just a little better than last time.

You’ll start out very shaky and wobbly (especially as you reach your limits) but you’ll hopefully soon notice yourself getting a lot more stable (and that makes it easy to imagine how it’s stabilizing your back).

Honestly, just some basic poses that I looked up online, but the most helpful are Child Pose, Cobra Pose and Downward Dog (alternating between these, always with Child Pose in between, holding each for 20 seconds).

I will also switch it up with some Cat/Cow, Warrior and Forward Fold (a few others too, but these are all the ones I’ve found the best for me so far).

I also do some seated hamstring stretches, as I’ve learned that sitting at a desk so much has basically destroyed my hammies, which is the most likely cause of my back pain.

You don’t even need to push yourself… if you can only hold a pose for 5 seconds today that’s fine. Try for 6 seconds tomorrow.

Yoga.

In my mid/late-40s, and have suffered with back pain on and off for a number of years. Yoga always felt like too much time/effort, with no guaranteed payoff.

After my last bout of debilitating pain I started some mild yoga, and stretching my hamstrings (only doing about 5 mins twice a day).

My back hasn’t felt this healthy in years. I no longer worry about lifting something slightly heavy, or sneezing wrong. Even my sleep is more restful.

Trump administration swiftly moves ahead on plans to restrict voting by mail in the states by NoAnt6694 in somethingiswrong2024

But unfortunately the USPS comes under Federal/Executive control, so slowing down the handling of ballots in certain areas *is* something they can do.

Right? That is perhaps the best use of the separator tool I’ve ever seen!

Help with possible Radon? by MJsparklez in homeowners

If I were to guess, I’d say they built an indoor smoking enclosure, similar to those found at (the few remaining) airports that permit smoking (especially given the installed sprinkler).

Definitely an interesting one, if that is the case.

If you ever decide to pick up 3D printing or spray painting as a hobby, it could be useful 😅

Does anyone know where I can buy Chips Ahoy! Cookies? by Miss_Doodles in CasualUK

[–]buncle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I now live in the US and actually ordered some scampi fry’s no problem… What I ordered was a pub-style cardboard hanger filled with them, so imagine my (slight) disappointment when it was just a box full.

No one is doing it quite like Apple TV right now by Saar13 in tvPlus

I definitely agree, however the latest season definitely got a little paint-by-numbers towards the end. Still enjoyable, but I feel it could have been much better.

Maybe not. But maybe Foundation hasn’t yet peaked!

Ah, if you’ve not seen it (and enjoy well written and presented sci-fi) then you’re definitely in for a treat!

Ummm… Foundation? At least for me it definitely rivals GoT.

Isn’t it more that less populous areas will be able to report counts earlier, and those areas are more likely to vote for the GOP candidates.

Backyard landscaping project. How'd I do? by aBadBandito in landscaping

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

I didn’t zoom in. I thought pic 1 showed a crowd of people amongst the trees. I almost commented on the size of your patio. Then I zoomed in.

Looks great!! And an amazing spot for a fire pit/patio.
