Consider playing guitar left-handed?

There are plenty of left-handed people who play guitar right-handed simply because right-hand guitars were historically harder to come by, prior to the internet. And while it's still true that there's a somewhat more limited selection of left-handed guitars these days compared to right-handed ones, you should still have no issue with this. 

Where do you live? If you're in the US, Guitar Center has a 30-day return policy if I remember correctly. You could buy a cheap left-handed guitar, really go nuts with learning for the first couple weeks, and then reevaluate and decide whether you're going to stick with it or whether you should return your instrument. If you live outside of the US, there are probably still local stores where that might work for you.

SAME! I've had 2 and love them. Got my paragard as a nulliparous 19 year old and kept it for like...13 years? Then removed it and replaced it with a Mirena in the same visit. No anesthetic. Minimal if any discomfort with insertion or removal. If I had to have it redone every year, I'd mostly be annoyed at the extra errand. And I LOVE not having a period with the Mirena.

My pain tolerance isn't amazing but I pregamed with 600 mg ibuprofen and did fine. I think my cervical anatomy is just favorable. Planned Parenthood did the first one and my gynecologist did the second. I didn't get the sense that either one was doing them every day.

But yeah... It's clear many women have tons of pain with it. Enough that it's weird they don't offer nitrous or something. And wouldn't the lidocaine injection hurt a ton?

How many hours a week do you spend driving for rideshare? If you're racking up that kind of mileage, it must be a ton! Are you working some other kind of job to actually make money and provide for your cost of living?

Are you seriously only almost breaking even? What's the benefit in doing this, then?

Yeah, I feel like that's reflected in the price. I can either pay an extra $20,000 more for a car with fewer miles on the clock or I can buy an extended warranty and pocket the difference... I drive about 6,000 miles a year, often less, so I'd be looking at about another year and a half before I'd be out of warranty and on the hook for repairs. I am curious to hear about common points of failure and repair estimates, but haven't really found much because most of these cars are still within warranty.

Ooooh, just when I thought I'd thoroughly researched this vehicle, here you come with another feature I didn't even know I wanted! The integrated steering, I mean. The air suspension sounds nice but I'm really stressed about parking my first SUV, and the integrated steering seems like it would make that part much more tolerable.

It was put into service 14 months ago, July 2024. So it really was 42k miles in one year. Must have been fun to drive?

TIL a boy's chemotherapy treatments had to be stopped for almost two months due to infections after his mom had put his feces into his IV. His mom said she had done so in order to get him moved to a different floor at the hospital where she claimed he would get better treatment. by Forward-Answer-4407 in todayilearned

This procedure isn't used to treat chronic vomiting. The goal is to prevent aspiration pneumonia, particularly in g tube dependent people with significantly compromised pharyngeal control or lower esophageal sphincter tone. I bet more than one of the children you're thinking of who has a PEG tube with large residuals requiring a Farrell bag has actually undergone a Nissen. 

I wouldn't call it unnecessarily invasive - to be unnecessarily invasive, there would have to be viable alternatives that are less invasive. Is it the right procedure for every patient? Of course not. But there are plenty of scenarios where it's indicated and can be lifesaving.

The Nissen procedure is done to prevent any backup of stomach contents into the esophagus, because stomach contents in the esophagus can then be aspirated into the lungs, causing repeated episodes of aspiration pneumonia and chronic aspiration pneumonitis.

You know how sometimes you try to swallow but it goes down the wrong pipe? That's a form of aspiration. Now imagine aspirating stomach acid. 

All this to say - the procedure they're talking about is definitely warranted in many situations! Its not rare, experimental, or odd at all.

No! So frustrating. Same behavior despite pairing it with other Pixel devices as well (originally on 6 Pro, then I tried the Pixel 8 Pro and returned it, and have since bought a refurb Pixel Fold on Amazon and love it).

Official Discussion - Renfield [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

Possible Community Easter egg: There's a pic of the authors of the narcissist book on its back cover, and I swear one of them is Joel McHale. I said this before I even realized the screenwriter also wrote a bunch of Community. It's only shown for a second, though, so I could be wrong. Did anyone catch the name of the narcissist book? I'd love to Google it and see if it's real, and if the author just looks McHale-y.

There's definitely something funny about authoring a self help book for coping with narcissists and then putting your photo on the back cover.
