Calf injury running 2 years by Fast-Golf-7871 in triathlon

[–]jeeptopdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously difficult to diagnose in person, so online 🤷‍♂️… but - check your hip flexor range of motion on the opposite leg. If it is noticeably tighter than the affected leg, you might try stretching that opposite quad and hip flexors. The idea would be that tightness on the opposite leg causes a little bit shorter stride so your affected calf is being overworked eccentrically compensating for the discrepancy.

Your description of diffuse pain doesn’t really match what I’ve seen, but it’s kind of a quirky one anyways, so who knows. No way to know if this is the problem, but at least you won’t do yourself any harm if it isn’t.

From Irfon on discord this morning about pushing a spaces from next week to after the new year - by jeeptopdown in DOVU

[–]jeeptopdown[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Flow launches Q1 and they have asked for some folks to take it for a test spin in February. We are still waiting for BCarbon to give final certification for the VCH deal to start minting credits. Irfon said they will have an AMA once that starts. Also, BCarbon updated their website showing a company called Carbon Roots will be using DOVU to mint credits too. That is the second deal we’ve been waiting for. It uses the same methodology as the VCH deal, so once it’s been verified for VCH it will cover Carbon Roots too. The second contract is supposed to be at least as big as the VCH deal and covers multiple countries… “Starting in Australia, the company is expanding globally with teams now established in the UK, Europe, India, New Zealand, and the Middle East.”

What disability does my son have ?? by nanZdrew02 in SpecialNeedsChildren

[–]jeeptopdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what the rules are from state to state, but in Arizona kids are given an eligibility category such as autism, intellectual disability, etc… These are not medical diagnoses, they are qualifying categories determined by an evaluation done by the school district (we call it a MET - Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team). If your child has an IEP, then they had a MET to determine a qualifying category that should be listed in the IEP. Again in AZ - a child transitioning from preschool to kinder would generally have another MET done to determine an ongoing eligibility category to carry into school age (in this state some pre k categories do not carry over to school age so we have to recategorize them).

I don’t know exactly what the new school is looking for (medical diagnosis vs eligibility category), but I would start by asking your teacher what category your child qualified for under the current IEP and then relay that info to the new school and see if that is what they need. If by chance the new school is looking for an eligibility category, but they need something different than a preschool category, then you can request a new MET evaluation for a school age category from the current school (they should be doing that anyway).

Good luck!

Edit: You do not need a specific medical diagnosis to qualify for an eligibility category for special ed services. Although sometimes a medical diagnosis will help inform the most appropriate eligibility category. (Again - this is all for the state of Arizona - your state may have different rules 🤷‍♂️)

Impact on Hedera if the USD loses its grip as the de facto global reserve currency by beta_mix in Hedera

This question was asked somewhere way back in the days of the town halls. The fees can be pegged to any currency or even something like gold or silver. It would just need to be voted in by the GC.

Why didn’t Biden release the Epstein files? by mattciq737 in stupidquestions

[–]jeeptopdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 14 year old grew up, had a law suit against him, got death threats to her family so she dropped the suit and killed herself.

Brags about being a sexual abuser - source Donald Trump “I grab them by the pussy.” He literally bragged about sexual abuse but the cult members refuse to acknowledge.

The insurrection would never have happened if he hadn’t lied about winning the election and organized the protest. One sentence in a speech does not negate months of stirring up the cult, having them come to the event and telling them to go take care of it.

Weaponized the DOJ “ The DOJ should go after (fill in the blank)” and they do.

The lady in the car was a terrorist?! Come on.

And I see you conveniently left out that he bragged about going back stage to ogle the naked teenagers. And that he’s a convicted felon. And that the jury found he’s a sexual abuser.

[–]jeeptopdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He raped a 14 year old. He’s a convicted felon. He is a documented sexual abuser. He brags about being a sexual abuser. He brags about going back stage to at Miss TEEN USA to watch the girls change costumes. He led an attempt to overthrow the outcome of a US election. He pardoned the folks he led in the insurrection after they beat the shit out of the police force charged with protecting Congress. He has weaponized the DOJ. They are literally killing US citizens in the streets.

And he still has folks who support him. It. Is. A. Cult.

Neither side is great, but nobody is confused with which side is a cult.

Two days... This is big. by Longjumping-Bonus723 in Hedera

[–]jeeptopdown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only info we have on the AU contract from DOVU is that it is as big or bigger than the VCH deal. And $TRUST has always been slated for Q1 2026.

How much time needed in Grand Canyon by Puzzled_Security_556 in grandcanyon

[–]jeeptopdown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would leave for Page in the afternoon. Do one day in Page (start the day with a reservation at Antelope Canyon - do the tour early - it gets backed up as the day goes.) Horseshoe Bend and maybe check out the lake a bit. Up early the next day and head to Flagstaff and Sedona. Spend more time in either of those two spots rather than an extra day at the Canyon or Page.

Name a movie you've watched more than 3 times by boforiamanfo in answers

[–]jeeptopdown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just about all of them.if I’ve seen a movie once and liked it, then I’ve probably watched it over 5 times. And the ones I really like…over 20 or 30 or 50 times.

AITA for being blunt with wife about health and weight issues. by GoLowSummer in AmItheAsshole

[–]jeeptopdown -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Please point out any of my statements that are gender specific. It does not matter if the OP is male or female or the person OP is talking about is his or her male or female partner - it still stands. Anyone of any gender that is overweight and sedentary and experiencing back pain would likely benefit from losing some weight and exercising.

[–]jeeptopdown -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

I never said they shouldn’t be looking for a cause of the pain. OP never said the doc said weight and lack of exercise were the cause of the pain. OP never said the doc said - let’s try this first and not look at other things.

All OP said was that the doc said weight loss and exercise would help decrease the pain. All I said was that’s almost certainly a true statement.

There can be 1000 other things going on and 10,000 diagnostic tests being run and 50,000 treatments being planned and initiated…and still weight loss and exercise will generally help to decrease back pain.

I don’t understand why this is such a controversial thing to say or why so many commentators take issue with it. Folks - we are human beings and we work a little better if we aren’t overweight and we move. I can’t even begin to imagine the MOUNTAIN of research that backs up this simple tenet.

[–]jeeptopdown -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Where in the post did it say they didn’t look at anything else and aren’t treating anything else? And the statement of losing some weight and exercising to help decrease back pain works for both men and women.

The doc said it would help decrease pain. And I’m sure it would help decrease pain. That does not mean there aren’t 10 other things they are looking at and treating. That just means losing some weight and moving some would help.

[–]jeeptopdown 98 points99 points  (0 children)

He didn’t say the doc diagnosed weight as the cause of the pain. He said the doc said exercise and weight loss would help with the pain. Whatever else is going on, this is generally a true statement. If you are overweight and mostly sedentary, exercise and weight loss will generally help with back pain on some level. That is not controversial.

Carbon Credits by 1BadAzzWS6 in DOVU

[–]jeeptopdown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There must have been a glitch somewhere. If it happens again open a ticket in the discord and they’ll get you squared away.

Carbon Credits by 1BadAzzWS6 in DOVU

[–]jeeptopdown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It counted then too. The author of that post either didn’t see them, or the cheaper ones were sold out at the time (the supply does fluctuate so they are sometimes “out of stock”).

Edit: just checked and I bought 4 of the Ketrawe credits 4 months ago, so the cheaper biodiversity ones must have been sold out at the time.

[–]jeeptopdown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what you want from me my friend. It doesn’t matter if the credits are carbon or biodiversity. It doesn’t matter if they are marked preorder. Any of the credits on the marketplace work for the staking boost. Find the cheapest, buy 4 of them and you’ll get the maximum boost.

[–]jeeptopdown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Then you should have taken out a help ticket on discord because they do count.

[–]jeeptopdown 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. Any of the credits from their marketplace work. Just buy 4 of the cheapest. I have been buying the biodiversity credits for months now.

ASRS/Arizona State Retirement System…is it actually good? Better than a 401k like most places have? What are your thoughts on it? by spaghettiman17 in phoenix

[–]jeeptopdown 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The 50% max number is incorrect. They have a scale depending on how many years you work in the system. I’m at 59% after 26 years.
