        Yeah, partner is watching The Rookie on 7, and I bought Astroneer on sale (~$14 down from $40, #winning) and have been playing that a lot. I didn’t buy any DLC so I had to laugh when the Devs had to apologise for breaking the game with their new Megatech DLC and have been pumping out patches and hotfixes 😂😂 none of this affected me in the slightest so I’m having an absolute blast with the base game 😂😂😂

    Dad: I can’t work anymore, my arm’s gonna fall off (he does a trade as a weekend job)

    Me: what’s wrong with it?

    Dad: tennis elbow

    Me: what did the Dr say?

    Dad: they’ve done all they could

    Me: what about a physio?

    Dad: they’re going to make me do exercises

      He should get the forearm strap and watch a few youtubes on it. Massage the extensor compartment (hairy side muscle) of the arm with the elbow tip of the other arm. And do the exercises or it’ll get worse.

        Word. I hurt my superior and inferior extensor retinaculum in my left ankle and had to do some physio to strengthen them again. All because I wore bad shoes and was very stationary during COVID lockdowns.

        Had to get one of those exercise strap loop things and do exercises with it, and I still do the tips toe exercises for both ankles (one hand on wall, stand on one leg and move from flat foot to tip toe and back, for each leg, a few times a day).

          You can increase that a little by standing toes on a step, heels free hanging, then going up and down. It’ll give your ankle a larger range of motion working the calf muscles more. If you’re ready for the next stage.

          The pathology is the muscles are pulling on the bone and the bone is getting pissed off about it. The strap means the muscles pull on the strap. The massages relaxes the muscles - he’ll be able to find the sore spots easy enough, they reveal themselves.

              There is a perfect position but its mostly a smidge closer to the elbow than the widest/muscliest part of the forearm. He needs to give his elbow a break or it wont heal good.

    I’ve saturated all the mould with a spray bottle of neat cleaning vinegar and left it to soak. But I’m out of energy and my head hurts. Guess I leave it to sit until I get the energy to respray and wipe down.

    Friend from high school was one of the loveliest people I’ve ever met. Haven’t spoken to her in ages and from our mutual friends, it seems like she’s joined some church called City on a Hill. It seems culty. I hope she’s okay.

      The name references the Pilgrim Fathers of america - they openly and publicly wanted to build a ‘city on a hill’ to be ‘shining example of holiness’ to the rest of the world. They both started and ended up as religious extremists of very nearly the worst possible description. Check out the Salem witch trials. Yeeesssss, the cultishness risk is present and def should be guarded against imo. I hope she’s OK too. She might see through the jargon to the very present risk of woman control/subjugation in the name of holiness.

      Still, as Terry Pratchett puts it, slavery is a wonderful refuge from uncertainty. Maybe she’s feeling in need of some certainty in her life. Or maybe anxiety relief. Which is reasonable given the chaotic nature of modern times. I do think that joining a church with a history of very prescriptive behaviour for women is is NOT the best possible way to relieve anxiety about her life choices though. Best you can do imo is to be present but not judgmental about her choices. As stated before, she may well see through the bullshit and make better choices in the future.

    old fart rant:

    back in the day you could be trying to work out how to do something on an obsolete OS and post a question and if people didn’t know they’d just walk the fuck past the post and leave it there for people who knew what they were talking about. If you got no answers, you kept plugging away yourself.

    nowadays you get straight up headshotted by some uppity fuckwit mod “this software is EOL” aye no fucking shit sherlock has it occurred to you that we are aware of this and there is a specific reason we persist?
