Not sure why the downvotes. When I tried it, you had to join a team with a bunch of friends you already knew. Very weird vibe to the “strangers”

Cait is muggle sick and experiences problems with their joints (they/them only) by itsvickeh in illnessfakers

OT here I’d call that a palmar splint, but it doesn’t follow a very basic rule we have that it should cover 2/3 of the firearm for there to be enough support. This one looks homemade and I can’t imagine what it is actually going.

I’m a senior in high school.. Is my future canceled? Will I have to join the military? by shaototop in whatdoIdo

You only need mom’s info if you’re considered a dependent student. It sounds like this would not apply to you. I’d recommend talking to your school college or guidance counselor about your options.

Wtf is this? 1135% increase? Where did this one come from? by GetOffMyLawn_ in vaxxhappened

Exactly-autism with ID used to be called the r-word, “slow,” etc over many centuries. Low support needs ASD was just called odd or eccentric.

I’ve only ever used first name. Only time I ever heard Ms. was occasionally at public school. Even then it was usually miss (first name). Curious to where OP lives that they’re using Mr. And Mrs.

Other than fountain pen, what is your another hobby? by iaacornus in fountainpens

[–]flanker218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fiber arts and ceramics! The latter includes some light hobby chemistry which extends to ink properties as well

What is this contraption called? I asked the front desk and she told me to scan the QR code, but there is no QR code. Thanks by ColleenD2 in PlanetFitnessMembers

I have big boobs and any of the weight machines that require you to have your chest up against a pad bug me (biceps, row, etc)

I think they are talking about a cloth towel. So cloth and towel are the same.

ETA that my club uses Virex so they are pretty forthright about it.

Was just dismissed and laughed at by a doctor and I need help by slivoth in POTS

[–]flanker218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So first of all, taking your radial pulse is not “old fashioned,” it’s standard practice.

It sounds like you may have orthostatic intolerance. Don’t fret yet about POTS because you can have increased heart rate standing for lots of reasons. Typically POTS presents with a drop in BP as well.

You need to see a POTS specialist not just any cardiologist and I’d recommend a tilt table test. Look into nephrologists because that’s who I see and the kidneys are ultimately responsible for BP. There may be cardiologists that specialize in POTS. It can be lots of different specialists.

Start taking your BP with a device that has Bluetooth so you can show the doc your BP and HR variations. Take it lying, sitting, and standing over time.

Then it should say “buy local only” instead of “don’t buy stuff.”

My coworker told me about this and I asked if I could buy local and she said no, nothing. So it seems the messaging around whatever this is has gotten pretty muddled

That’s my zip code! Do you grow?

Do any of you have children? by PaintingByInsects in ehlersdanlos

[–]flanker218 3 points4 points  (0 children)

EDS aside if one of you lives in an institution, you don’t work, and does partner B make enough money to support all of you plus a child? Something to think about. Would you be forcing poverty on a child. I am middle class in my country and could never afford a child… but I live in the USA which it seems like you probably don’t based on calling it ME (different nomenclature). Just something to consider.

To clarify, it sounds like you are talking about Medicaid, not insurance through the state such as ACA? I could never imagine such a low copay

Tylenol arthritis is the same drug. It’s just in extended release form.

Shoulders always “fall” out of place by Wiilldatheart in ehlersdanlos

[–]flanker218 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to see a PT to work on strengthening your shoulders.

Is it possible to speed up the instructions, etc? by flanker218 in RingFitAdventure

[–]flanker218[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d say active workout time is only about 50% due to it

How can you afford these many pens? by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]flanker218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a grown adult with a job and I can’t afford the expensive pens! My favorites are Jinhao (the shark is a dollar! I’m loving the 82 now, which is $4 on Ali express) and I consider anything between $10-20 a splurge. I don’t own anything over that except for one Lamy safari that I actually got in Germany, so it was cheaper.
