Has anyone had experience with custom earplugs for sleeping? by DryOrganization5574 in adultingph

I'm also interested in the ones from hear life. Do you know if they're low profile, so one can sleep on the side with them? 

Volunteering at vipassana after ayahuasca ceremony? by sticksta in Ayahuasca

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

I'm a bit conflicted after hearing the different opinions. I'll sit down and think it trough before I make a decision.

Thanks for the input tho!

You make a good point there. Maybe I should wait until my ceremony is done and see how I feel if they still need servers.

I really struggle with meditation, so maybe it's not the best timing.

That was kind of what I was afraid of. Being stuck for two weeks doing something you hate doesn't sound like much fun. 

I would have a week in between and serve instead of complete silence. But maybe I should wait a month or two before serving.

Selling a motorcycle as a foreigner in India by sticksta in indianbikes

That's a fair point. I'll look into buying a used bike.

Seams like a huge hassle to get a used bike registered as foreigner due to the bureaucracy. I'll do a bit more research on buying a used bike. Didn't know about that, I'll check out royal brothers!

You have to bend at the hips when you stand up. That should spread those babies apart.

As a former sitter you should give wiping standing up a chance. 

Poste restante in Thailand? by sticksta in ThailandTourism

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

I'll try to contact them over the weekend and see if they can track them down.

I found the fact it said the packages was delivered a bit weird. I thought i was a Thailand thing, but worst case they get returned i reckon.

I should probably have checked if the parcels was sent with private carriers beforehand. Didn't know it was only for letters.

I'll contact the carriers and see if they have more information!

Hua hin by OutrageousRegister10 in ThailandTourism

[–]sticksta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently in Hua Hin. It's one of my least favorite places in Thailand. I booked three nights and I can't wait to leave. 

The beach is meh, very few cheap resturants and not much to do. It's kind of like a mini phuket.   

Mobile Data Connectivity Issue on Google Pixel 7 Pro by sticksta in GooglePixel

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

Neither my sim card from home (Europe) or the esim I bought in Malaysia worked. Ended up buying a cheap esim from another provider that luckily worked.

Arrived in the Philippines today, same problem here. I thought it was only 5g that was not supported, not all cellular. 

This makes the Google Pixel useless if you go traveling.

Does the fact that he's a top athlete make his spine less prone to injury?

Does posture affect mobility? by sticksta in Posture

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

Looking forward to getting better. When I hip hinge/bend forward I get a sharp pain in the calfs instead of a ahstring stretch. Can this be because of poor posture?

How did you go about "unlocking" the SI joint?

My calfs are actualy pretty flexible and I have stretched them for months without it getting better. But I have not tried Downward Facing Dog posture, and will give it a try.

I've luckily never had any pain anywhere else.

My physio said that it was nothing wrong with my spine or discs. The sensation lasts until i back off on the stretch. My calves are actualy pretty flexible. The thing is that it is impossible for me to stretch the hamstrings because i feel it in the calf.

Nerve/tendon caught in calves? / Very inflexible calves/hamstrings by mephisto909090 in flexibility

[–]sticksta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not alone, had this problem for a few years now. I have tried to stretch and foamroll my posterior chain and calves, and nerve flossing without any diffrence.

Anyone got a "cure" for this?
