It's the soft cushy throw rugs on top of padded surfaces that does it.

Thank you for finding this apparently triustworthy info. I saved the image for future use.

The are pre-Covid trends here for sure, but Covid supercharged them.

Does the left hand side of this diagram resonate for this person? My son thinks it does for him. And that it does for me. I can see that. If so I'd guess that constant practice to overcome the intrinsic tendencies would really be the only way.

Nice! Central Texas has wimped out on snow. Pathetic!

That was a widespread problem in Texas in the grid meltdown of Feb 2021. No battery backup and the power cos didn't even know which circuits had water plants on them. A large fraction of the state lost water for several days. Here's my granddaughter shoveling snow to use for flushing toilets ...

And check out how they define "more positive" LOL

fyi, on Bluesky you need to post screenshots.

Only way that works reliably: go to telehealth, tell them you have a +ve Covid test using a screenshot from the web, fill the Rx and stockpile it. There is NO other reliable way to ensure you hit that small time window. That won't work for you right now, but maybe it will be useful for somebody.

I-35, built along the Austin / East Austin boundary, to this day cuts the city like a knife.

👍👍 Right now I'm taking our cats from CA to TX one at a time, then 3rd trip with wife, because she can't handle fighting the cats to sedate and then traveling all in one day. The things we do for love, right? That pic is of our forlorn baby boy in TX today, abandoned by everyone except my loyal son

Thinking about that myself. Wife has cut my hair for years but now her ME/CFS has gone to mod/sev, we'd have to do a haircut in like 3 x 10-minute episodes. We're trying it this time but in general doesn't seem worth the spoons. I'd much rather she spends her energy petting cats.

Thank you for this. LC seems to be an area particularly suited to your approach. I don't see in your thread any discussion of the use of poorly studied and possibly dangerous off-label medications which is occurring. (I have an axe to grind there.) Maybe there are wise words in the paper.

I don't get it. You're an interesting writer, some of your stuff I agree with, some I disagree. But why do you elicit all these extreme and obviously irrational reactions from people?

Congratulations! A post by you early in the Covid pandemic changed my whole thinking. I don't know if your views are still the same, and the focus has shifted to post-acute morbidity. But I continue to live my life with this perspective in mind. My wife has severe ME/CFS and I try to protect her.

2) in the US, a v small margin of victory is translating into huge consequences. It could swing back in a couple of years, then we'll be talking about a move to the left.

Yeah I also find it a bit weird not seeing family in England for 5 years. I'd probably chance the flight (I'm confident with my masking game now), but wife's ME/CFS has become an issue. Fortunately between Texas and Cali there are lots of fun things to do near home.
