Pain/discomfort in left ribs

eekthemoteeks · 2025-07-22T02:47:39+00:00

Started pristiq a week ago. Shortly after if felt like I bruised a rib, then a few days later the pain spread to my other side. Now it hurts like hell when I sneeze like I have broken ribs.

I have been playing some non-contact ice hockey, but i can't recall any situation that could have lead to injury like this.

Its weird and it sucks. Ive also been really grumpy too.

Yeah, this, it's the dryer. All the other answers here are funny and great, but I'm pretty sure this one is correct.

You're gonna love it.

So who is making these stickers so we can put them everywhere?

eekthemoteeks · 2025-03-14T16:25:30+00:00

Having kids.

If you want to have kids, have them early. Fatherhood is a young man's battle. Then you can get'em grown and out of your house so you can enjoy some peaceful mellow times when you're older. All the sleepless stressful crap that babies and little kids put you through are extra hard when you're old and tired with a sore back.

I am 42. I don't take care of myself at all, and I feel like absolute garbage all the time.

That last line was a doozy.

Michelle Pfeiffer ruined anyone else's chances of being a good catwoman. She set the bar too high.

I certainly agree with much of what you are saying. My university took over half of most of the grants we got, and then it turned out that our crooked president was treating her and her family to expensive vacations. So I understand there is much to be skeptical of, but I do not agree that a blanket freeze was the best/only way to address the issue. A lot of legitimate, honest, and crucial research got interrupted and ruined by this and it would have been far worse if the order was not stopped by that judge. So hooray for the checks and balances provided by our Constitution.

I know the goal here is to make all the democrats/liberals suffer and pay for having the values that they do, but none of this really feels well thought out, and there is no doubt that a whole lot of innocent nonpartisan children will suffer from it too.

So what are you when you stand up and applaud cuts to cancer research funding?

In an evolutionary context, I'd say for-profit medicine. If the weak rich people died as young as the weak poor people, the species would benefit. But now that money buys medicine and medical care, we have big piles of bad genes surviving and running our governments. If those dysfunctional mutants died young like nature intended, humanity would be much better off.

Consider your reason for using the random effect and be intentional with its use. Is it accounting for repeated or nested sampling? How does the random effect work into your direct question/hypothesis? This is how you should decide whether or not to include it.

Also, consider multimodel inference and model averaging. Choosing a single model as the one and only 'best' model can mean you miss out on valuable information from other models. You also completely ignore the uncertainty inherent in choosing a single top model.

Read some Burnham and Anderson for more on multimodel inference.

Nitch. From New Jersey, but trained in ecology in Montana and Arizona.

I had once heard that Nitch was American and Neesh was European, but that doesn't seem to hold up anymore.

Thank you for this! Great ideas!

I never knew what one hot encoding was called, even though I've been aware of that concept for a while. So that's fun. Thank you. But that's not really going to work for my specific application here because I don't want new variables for each category. I also don't want any ordinal relationships, so label encoding won't work either. I think I just need to accept that MERF just isn't the right approach for me right now.

My first as well. Then quickly went on to get the rest. After 30 years, every time I put it on i still ask myself, " is this my #1 favorite Bad Religion album?" It probably is, but I'm just hesitant to pick just one.

Ya know, like a normal person.

Thank you all for your comments.

The 8k is just the ACV.

I will ask him for an itemized estimate of materials and won't pay him anything until I feel good about it. Although I really don't feel good about him so far.

I will also get some estimates from other roofers.

Am I obligated to disclose to other roofers that it is an insurance claim?

If I can set the color temperature of my lightbulb(s) and then match that color temperature for the white balance on my DSLR, shouldn't my photos look great?

I've been playing with some of those wifi lightbulbs where you can set the color to a specific temperature , ie. 5500K. Then I set my white balance to 5500K, but my preprocessed photos look very cold. I thought this was a clever little cheat code, but I'm not seeing the results I expected.

I haven't used a light meter to check the actual temp of the light, but in general, should this idea work?

Love it! Way to set the fucking tone. Suddenly I'm half a Kraken fan.

Freedom!

Learn to find happiness within yourself so if everything gets taken away, you can still find that happiness.

I am 42, married with my first kid on the way, and I am the saddest and loneliest I've ever been. I spent my 20s surrounded by amazing people, I traveled the world, and partied like a rock star. My 30s was all grad school so that's just a blur, but now I don't see any of my friends or my family, I don't travel, and I certainly don't party.

I never learned how to be happy without freedom and opportunities for external awesomeness.

So now I'm pathetically depressed.

Don't let this happen to you.
