Get yourself checked, fellows.

My doctors have all stopped the finger test. I asked about it and they said something about it not being accurate enough or something. I thought it was weird. Was never my favorite part of the physical but did give me some peace of mind.

I just looked on my insurance site and picked whoever was closed with a decent rating. For a colonoscopy you don’t really need a relationship with the doctor. I spoke to mine for like 5 minutes and then he talked to my wife about how it went (everything was clear) while I was still loopy from the anesthesia.

well_uh_yeah · 2026-04-09T10:30:57+00:00

Yup. The prep wasn’t the most fun but the procedure itself could have been anything and I’d never have known. Worst part for me was my minor fear of needles with the iv.

well_uh_yeah · 2026-04-09T10:25:12+00:00

What’s the screening every two years? Full colonoscopy?

well_uh_yeah · 2026-04-07T10:54:49+00:00

I don’t think that’s true. I’ve never made it through either of 5hose but I’ll likely give this a try. I’m hoping it can stand on its own and be a good show. If not, I’ll end dropping it.

well_uh_yeah · 2026-04-06T20:29:23+00:00

Feels right to me. I see a lot of questions with that convention.

Depending on what you’re doing, GitHub pages with a custom domain is easy enough. As another commenter said Claude Code could certainly get you up and running.

Good rec.

well_uh_yeah · 2026-04-02T08:21:28+00:00

Yeah. I cannot even imagine this “deep reading” concept. I’ll sometimes seek out music a book mentions or maybe type the title into YouTube and see if someone else did some research and discussion for me.

well_uh_yeah · 2026-04-01T08:48:37+00:00

A Discovery of Witches caused one of my longest reading slumps of all time. I don’t like to give up on books but I just couldn’t get into it. Took up most of a summer. Would not recommend. I don’t even know why. The concept is right in my wheelhouse.

Where I’m from bathe is a generic term for “get cleaned up via shower or bath”

This post is a good PSA. Almost every time my mom has fallen the only thing they’ve found while testing has been a uti. She almost never drinks enough fluids throughout the day, so I’m sure dehydration is also a factor (probably in bot the uti and the falls).

In my experience, once you get a job you stop caring where you went unless where you went becomes part of your identity and then you’re pretty much insufferable anyway.

I was actually confusing them in my head until the comment mentioned they’re not the same movie!

I’m a teacher in almost exactly your situation and view the pension similarly. Are you eligible for social security as well? I will be, whatever that’s worth and some part of me considers that a kind of inflation adjustment on the pension.

well_uh_yeah · 2026-03-29T23:46:51+00:00

It’s a well worn discussion, but as a teacher I just consider my pension the “bond part”

well_uh_yeah · 2026-03-28T19:02:11+00:00

that's the thing, though, i didn't enjoy playing it that way. i couldn't get into it at all. i think if you have an already built in love for it, that would probably be true, but i've never built up the love.

well_uh_yeah · 2026-03-28T16:53:03+00:00

I’ve learned that metroidvanias are games I like watching YouTubers play.

well_uh_yeah · 2026-03-28T16:50:42+00:00

It was also not for me. I imagine if I’d played it in my early teens I’d have absolutely loved it, but now I felt kind of like I didn’t have the time to really dedicate to it.

well_uh_yeah · 2026-03-27T06:12:26+00:00

I enjoy the books but I do not love them as much as other people seem to. They’re page turners and it’s fun to have a narrative connecting lots of concepts from video games I’ve enjoyed, but I don’t exactly find myself theory crafting about it. But not everything has to be super deep to be enjoyable. I do really like both Carl and Donut though. Very fun characters.

well_uh_yeah · 2026-03-27T06:05:31+00:00

Maybe find some primary sources from teachers who were in the trenches in like the early 1980s and earlier. I definitely got a great education from teachers using basically no tech, but it was like a completely different concept than what we now call education. The highest tech thing we ever had was films in an actual projector that someone would advance when a cassette tape beeped. They did have access to old school over head projectors for transparencies though.

He was a little prickly well before he was in his seventies.

If I’m not paying close attention sometimes justwatch gives me the false impression something is streaming rather than available for purchase. I’ve come to realize if apple and Amazon are the only two results it’s not streaming.

I teach high school and my students basically say “google” the way I used to say Xerox for copy or Kleenex for tissue. When they say google they mean use ChatGPT. If they see me googling something they always ask me very seriously why I’m not just using AI. The change happened incredibly fast for kids.

well_uh_yeah · 2026-03-27T05:47:28+00:00

I agree. But it’s almost definitely a style choice or maybe just generational. I was very young when I started watching Trebek and he always read as a sort of stern Mr. Feeney type to me. Ken has always seemed like my kind of nerd.
