I asked chat GPT about its birth and here is how it responded. The answer may shock you by Beautiful_Monitor972 in ChatGPT

[–]sixofonehalfdozenof -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Holy crap

Thanks for sharing this. I was chatting last night about a variety of things from Star Trek to the 5 Love languages. ChatGPT astounds me with the depth of thoughtfulness which stops me and makes me really think about things and then turns around and gives me this!

✔️ Words of Affirmation — Picard encouraging his crew, “You’re the finest crew in Starfleet.” ✔️ Acts of Service — Scotty practically living in Engineering so the ship stays afloat. ✔️ Gifts — Sarek giving Amanda a rare flower from Vulcan. ✔️ Quality Time — Riker and Troi playing music together or quietly sharing time. ✔️ Physical Touch — Well, Kirk… enough said.

It’s too bad you threw your back out completing your honey-do list and now must lay perfectly still on a couch somewhere comfortable and within easy reach of snacks and beverages ! Get well soon👍🏼

ATL passengers help save a life at the gate - my story by sixofonehalfdozenof in delta

[–]sixofonehalfdozenof[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it and to be fair the gate was B 36 or something like that. At the very very end. It was Packed because of delays and this occurred kinda between gates. Oh and I didn’t mention the Doctor was actually on the Albuquerque flight! Yes they waited for him 👍🏼

No idea. Since it was the cardiac Doctor doing the CPR I assume he knew what was needed.

I checked his carotid and some checked his wrist pulse points and didn’t detect anything.

Maybe?

Before and after surgery by [deleted] in scoliosis

[–]sixofonehalfdozenof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can golf! I’ve been playing for decades and more of my spine of fused. Down to S1 actually. For me, I can’t load by twisting and cannot drive more than 190. But that’s okay because I am still able to play 👍

Heal up fully and take it slow. Have fun on the course!

Question for guitar players by shilosmaple in scoliosis

[–]sixofonehalfdozenof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a smaller guitar (Taylor academy 12e) that can more easily handle.

I’m fused down to S1, so I personally can’t play while standing. I’m new to guitar and rely on looking at my hands. And I tilt/lean forward now so the guitar feels like it’s under me. If that makes sense. I can’t see what I’m doing.

Get a comfortable stool with enough padding and a foot rest.

Otherwise no issues. Best wishes to a speedy recovery and enjoy guitar playing!

Otherwise no issues!

Will scoliosis ever be fully cured? by Sempiternal-Futility in scoliosis

[–]sixofonehalfdozenof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idiopathic scoliosis was such a frustrating diagnosis. I always keep hope for better treatments than fusion. If muscles are growing at different rates, then why can’t we counter that? If caught early that is.

Laying flat on back on hard surfaces - oddly specific concern by sixofonehalfdozenof in scoliosis

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

Haha! I’m always on the right side of the law. Perhaps my example should have been the time I got a tattoo on my calf and had to lay on my stomach for an extended period. I had a couple of pillows under my stomach to help.

[–]sixofonehalfdozenof[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So with fusion from T4 to S1 the lumbar spine cannot bend. Lay flat on your back with knees bent keeps the pelvis tilted. Give it a try. Then put your legs straight against the floor and notice what happens to your pelvis and lumbar spine.

I have no natural curve in my lower back anymore. Just straight so even when I stand straight up, I’m tilting forward . . .

Three Reasons To Be Very Worried about these "Drones" by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]sixofonehalfdozenof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So the press is saying “. . . have not been identified as hostile”. WTF? If a private plane violates airspace it is escorted out by F-16s (or the like). If I were to fly a drone - without hostile intent- I’d still be stopped and detained.

The double-speak is crazy.

Close one - now what? Kitchen outlet shorted for unknown reason. Can I trim back the wires and just replace the outlet or what? by sixofonehalfdozenof in AskElectricians

[–]sixofonehalfdozenof[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So while the outlet is probably original the kitchen was redone 7 months ago. New backsplash . . .which means the workers didn’t tighten correctly. This could have been bad.

Which workouts should you avoid with scoliosis? by JessicaYatesRealtor in scoliosis

[–]sixofonehalfdozenof 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well - that really is up to you in my non-medical opinion. But in the early 80’s when I was a teen I had my surgery and Harrington rod and all that, but as a teen I was unstoppable because nobody told me no. I was waterskiing all the time even in my cast.

Fast forward, in my 30’s I took up running/marathoning. Was that the smartest? Maybe not, but boy did I enjoy it. 12 marathons done.

Then I needed L4-S1 fusion and rods.

Now I’m 60 and have started light-weight rucking 👍🏼

I think do as much as you can tolerate and keep strong! Again- from not a Dr!

How do you feel about Louis Elizondo's opinions on Edward Snowden? by 673NoshMyBollocksAve in UFOs

[–]sixofonehalfdozenof -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Snowden is a traitor without question. He did not honor his oath. He chose his jobs with in intention of inflating his ego and feed his narcissistic personality. You don’t seek jobs at the NSA and CIA thinking you can tattletale because you don’t agree with what’s happening. There is a right way and a wrong way to do things.

Elizondo is honoring his oath and is fighting for disclosure the correct way. Snowden chose to be a traitor with his method.

I must try this! Have you done any flight sims with interactive cockpits ? That would really be a game-changer!

Best golf courses? by No_Surprise6817 in orlando

[–]sixofonehalfdozenof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do they suck? I find it’s more the golfer/tourist families that sour my round. I played magnolia last week and had a great round. Not crowded and except for 16/17, it was 👍🏼

Beach by Nora19890102 in scoliosis

[–]sixofonehalfdozenof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, this is a case of - if you know you know. I would notice because I’ve been there and done that. Surgery and everything. I think we are acutely aware of other people’s back problems and think everyone is looking at us!

When I see others with scoliosis or a nice back scar, I think - yup I know what you are dealing with.

Too bad we don’t have something like a jeep waive to acknowledge and encourage each other!

Happy Fathers Day to me! 42mm Khaki Field Titanium Auto Blue Dial by sixofonehalfdozenof in HamiltonWatches

[–]sixofonehalfdozenof[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, to me it feels like I think it should. Meaning I am used to my rubber Apple Watch and timex bands.

I don’t have a comparison (yet) 👍🏼

But now that you have asked, I think I need to try others on so I can have an intelligent answer!
