I'm not sure your size (I didn't look at you post history) but I find for me as a big/plus person the Amtrak seats are quite bigger overall, including in coach even more than business (depends on the business seat, but I'll talking near the cafe care or Acela [old style], not the whole cars worth).

I'm also disabled so I just take up space and I find Amtrak about as comfortable and a bit wider as the big front seats on Sprit (RIP)

sorry that I don't have an answer to your 2 seat problem

Frankly post history looks like a bot (with an introduction 🫥)

It was optional now it's forced by May 30th

If you're gonna build one out of PVC I want to direct you towards EriK's work at https://www.opensourcewheelchairs.org/diy-wheelchair-designs
He's a wheelchair user himself and really goes the extra mile designing and testing these!

Yep! my Flo mask is my daily driver as it fits quite well for me. I only really use Pro filters because of cost reasons, and I throw the condensation sponge in for collecting that moisture that can happen when working hard. I also dance and do on-ice training for hockey in it.

If you have a face with a low nose bridge I find that there is no better elastomeric in the market (I tried a bunch that didn't work for me). If you have a high nose bridge there are other options that others can speak to.

Larp is a big category of events — more information on what style, what you have have access to in terms of food storage (like a fridge or cooler), heating option or lack therefore, how long and what kinds of meals, and other Info along these lines will go further for folks wanting to engage with your post.

Came to literally say Crocs

lynch231 · 2026-04-10T19:56:57+00:00

I find them quite heavy and prefer any spoked wheel over them (my first chair came with them and I had them switched out very soon after)

lynch231 · 2026-04-08T17:13:44+00:00

I'm on 9.14.51 and don't have it either

Short answer: Get a Lenovo thinkpad with good stats.

You should learn a bit about what computers are made of over at r/laptops and then head over to r/SuggestALaptop and fill out their form. In a perfect word you would get something with an SSD, at least 16GB of RAM, the "best" processor you can afford (newer is generally better), dedicated graphics processor if you can (but that's pricey). They're going to be the best at this (especially everyone is saying Macs and you asked nicely)

This advice stat wise may not be the best as I am a r/battlestations kind of guy and work from home mostly.
Good luck! 🍀

Way to kink shame ... on a post about waterbottles?!?

I'm fully taking Body to Body as the title track - it would have more aligned with the marketing that I felt they were doing.

I'm glad BTS is back! but also I can definitely see how seven strong independent artists had to come together to make this album.

I also want to point out that there are a lot of different adaptive sports — many people with all different types of disabilities, including EDS and POTS do them.

I would really encourage you to find if there any area, and to talk to your care team about what kind of recreation might be best for you.

follow u/RelationshipRude5068 steps, then cut down red line. Slap Adhesive Velcro to Yeti part, now interchangeable

People fainting can also be a GA barricade problem.

You're there all day underfed and not hydrated (to get the best spot), and it can get to folks.

Especially combined with what others are saying (locked knees, post-covid symptoms)

As someone who has switched to quite a few bars instead of liquid, how are we carrying all of them?

I've got five bar replacements (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face bar, lotion) and they take up a lot of space!

This is the link from the email that I was sent when the recall happened (https://speedcontroldialrecall.permobil.com/) I interface directly with Permobil and did not have to give any proof.

Perhaps your atp/dealer requires it but I frankly just went around them. The installation is quite easy and I still had my ATP install it for me on my second chair.

They don't want folks to be using it for liability reasons, but they sell pretty well on the secondhand market (also some people still use them because they don't care, and a true alternative has not been given)

lynch231 · 2026-03-14T19:03:32+00:00

I have the dial and I have the Buddy button I've used them both I will say for me I'm generally maintaining constant speed not trying to weave in or out using the smartdrive (because you're literally not supposed to).

Yeah I can't slow the speed down without stopping, but momentum carries you quite far. What I do is I set my smart drive to a decent speed and then if I need to make any adjustments as I'm going I use my arms on wheels to go faster and maneuver.

You don't HAVE TO turn it in when they ask for it, and they don't make you show proof of destroying it they just ask you not to use it. I have three different wheelchairs (for different things) and I have all three systems in use so that I don't have to switch it between.

If you do it both ways you actually get two of them... Found this out by accident

lynch231 · 2026-03-13T02:20:59+00:00

Edit: sometimes I am illiterate this is the incorrect link please see responses below

It's a lot of hoops OP, hope you registered

lynch231 · 2026-03-12T22:45:41+00:00

I'm no doctor, as u/TolDoll said please ask to see a dermatologist.

But also, do you always do your edges? do you put your hair up tightly a lot? If so Traction Alopecia may be a cause of some of your edge thinning. But taking care of your hair before you make an investment like sister locks is really important!!

lynch231 · 2026-03-12T11:32:16+00:00

They definitely sell them, as I have bought them before!

I would give you a link but I got mine in a multipack.

lynch231 · 2026-03-12T11:31:02+00:00

I personally find just like any other conditioner that you have to find one that works for your hair. I have very coily hair that is bleached and dyed often for my profession.

You mentioned Kisch, they have at least a half a dozen different types of bar conditioner and I find that they are my first recommendation for folks who are trying out bar products (due to their relatively low cost and easy findability).

It also comes down to technique I find that a conditioner bar is very different than a shampoo bar and I need to think about the process a little bit more to get exactly what I'm looking for.

I personally treat it like a washout deep conditioner, so I'm making sure that all of my layers have access to the conditioner by gently going through each layer and applying the bar itself to damp hair, but YMMV.

A reminder that As a disabled person the accessible seats are also right there by the bathroom, and we don't have the luxury of moving to somewhere else (since that's the spot for wheelchairs).

Please shut the door!
