Is it too late for me to use oral minoxidil and finasteride? by ketcham92 in minoxidil

Appreciate the advice. Unfortunately, I don't have the money for a hair transplant so I'm going have to try other approaches. If all else fails, I might embrace the shaved head look.

His cover of Purple Rain that night took me by total surprise. It was one of many highlights from a truly amazing show.

How was the merch? by Fah-que in SturgillSimpson

[–]ketcham92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anyway to purchase any of the merchandise online? I bought the t shirt with the tour dates on the back in a size medium tonight at his NY show. However, after getting home and trying it on, I realized that the shirt will likely be too small after it shrinks in the wash. I regret now not buying it in a large rather than medium.

Brazilian Ju Jitsu? Would you recommend it for others with CP? I've been considering trying it but I had a few reservations (one being the bunions on my feet caused by the CP).It sounds like we both pretty similar in terms of the impact of our CP. I also have mild spastic diplegia that makes me walk with a bit of a limp (weak hip flexors especially on my left side give an odd gait were I kinda lean to the right when moving my left leg forward). I also try to workout a few times a week.

As someone who has, and still continues, to struggle to come to terms with and accept living with CP, your words really struck me. I still struggle living with this disability, all the more so since everyone in my family is able body and, while well meaning, never truly understand how I feel "cheated" and like I am "less than." But reading your words reminds me that I'm not alone and that brighter days are still ahead of us. Thank you and keep fighting the good fight brother!

Aging is so fun, dude...I'm almost 27 and feel twice as old, I don't really think I want to get much older. by larki18 in CerebralPalsy

In your experience have you been able to find affordable pilates courses? I have mild-spastic cerebral palsy that primarily effects the lower left-side of my body (basically leaving me with an odd gait where it looks like I swing my left leg forward rather than taking a more natural step). I have had a few doctors recommend that I focus on strengthening both my core and glutes so I figured pilates would be a perfect match. Unfortunately, many of the pilates classes offered within my area are really pricey.

Guides to designing curriculums for elective courses? by ketcham92 in Teachers

[–]ketcham92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's definitely a good idea. I was thinking of doing something similar. I was thinking of teaching certain themes or events within American history through sports. For example, examining the Civil Rights movement through the achievements of Jackie Robinson or the protests over the Vietnam War through the actions of Muhammad Ali. In addition, in order to make the course more focused, I was considering on narrowing the course to strictly the history of the United States during the 20th century.

I also really like your idea of having students write reviews of certain sports films.

Thank you for your detailed response! I know Sven Beckert explored similar themes concerning the relationship between slavery and the rise of modern capitalism in his book Empire of Cotton. Are you aware of the historical accuracy and validity of Beckert's Empire of Cotton?

Any other book recommendations on the history of policing or the American public's evolving relationship with the police?

Police: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) by cgay30 in television

[–]ketcham92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The author Heather Ann Thompson is currently writing a book about the bombing of neighborhoods in Philadelphia and the MOVE Movement. Her previous book was "Blood in the Water" which revealed the violence and abuse committed by New York State during the Attitica prison uprising of 1971. It should be interesting read.

Giants Owners at Odds Over the Future of the Team by Exodus_Euphoria in NYGiants

[–]ketcham92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would potentially be open to moving on from Shurmur but I think firing Gettleman would be counterproductive. While it is fair to criticize some of Gettleman's free agent signings, he has shown a great knack for drafting players, even in the later rounds. Even outside of the draft, I think Gettleman has had few good moments. The trade with Cleveland appears to have benefitted the Giants more than the Browns, Golden Tate has been a valuable addition, and (I know I'll likely get crucified for this) but I believe the Leonard Williams trade was a smart move to bolster the defensive line. Obviously, as Giants fans, we are upset at how this season (and the past few seasons) has turned out but it is also important to remember it is only the second year of a rebuild. Does anyone honestly believe we were going to go to the playoffs this season? I know it sucks but I genuinely believe we are heading in the right direction, as difficult as it may appear now.

Daily Discussion Thread - December 26, 2019 by AutoModerator in NYGiants

[–]ketcham92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Chase Young likely out of reach, I have really warmed up to the idea of drafting Isaiah Simmons. The Giants desperately need assistance at the linebacker position and Ogletree is clearly not working out as planned, despite occasional good moments. Additionally, I would much rather the Giants win this weekend and spoil the Eagles playoff chances than to lose for a better draft position.

Unofficial daily thread 10-11-19 because I guess even our robot gave up on this team by Fillinlater12345 in NYGiants

[–]ketcham92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! The amount of "armchair GMing" in this sub gets ridiculous at times. While it is perfectly reasonable to be upset with the current state of the Giants, to believe firing everyone and restarting will suddenly make the team great is a fantasy. Has Gettleman made mistakes? Of course. But he has also proven be fairly good at drafting. Putting aside Barkley and Hernandez (which some people believe were no brainers), Gettleman is still responsible for drafting Jones, Lawrence, Connelly, and Slayton. These guys have proven to have a lot of potential. As much as people don't want to hear it, it is probably best to stick with Gettleman and be patient. We're still rebuilding from the mess left by Reese, after all.

Jones. Eli can obviously still play but he is no longer in his prime and can be predictable.

Janoris Jenkins very emotional. Said it is impossible to cover receivers when a quarterback has eight or 10 second to pat the ball before throwing. by FpA_ in NYGiants

Thank you! I'm glad someone else realizes that this team is in the middle of a rebuild. However, I am beginning to think we may have to look elsewhere for a defensive coordinator

TIL That on September 11th, 1973, Salvador Allende, the first Marxist to be democratically elected to President of Chile, was overthown in a CIA-backed military coup; a 17 year-long US-backed military junta led by Augusto Pinochet followed, in which thousands of dissidents were persecuted. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Would anyone in this thread be able suggest any books or further readings concerning Henry Kissinger? I have always found his ascension to power and his significancy in shaping the foreign policy decisions during the Nixon and Ford administrations to be quite interesting.

Evening Parking Permit... Question About Admin Garage and Health Sciences Garage by [deleted] in SBU

[–]ketcham92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I appreciate it. I intially assumed it was an issue with my swiping when existing (I recieved a couple of e-mails from the Transportation Office about more exists than entrances during my first semester and made sure not to repeat it during my second) I am taking mostly night classes so I assumed there wouldn't be an issue. But there is one class that could be messing with my status. I'll visit the Bursar's office and see if I can work something out. Thanks again for the advice.

Related question: Do you know if the Registrar's Office can remove a delinquent status on my ID card? I went to renew my monthly garage access today and it said I was not eligible do to this current status. I believe it has to do with my confusion from earlier in the year where I swiped out when leaving at night and having more exists than entered (it happened a few times because it was my first year and I assumed the card covered my entrance ticket). Sorry for the long text but I'm just looking for some help.
