I feel like the unloved sect is really the unitarian universalists. They're basically a doctrine free "church" of social justice. Like, I love going sometimes and just getting more advice on how to be an excellent human to others. And then we have snacks.

Emu? Ostrich? Homunculus?

Pardon my ignorance. I'm not in an area that needs to dedicate mental labor to possible fights with birds.

In pole dancing terms that's the gluteal crease or gluteal fold.

Medically the gluteal fold is the buttcrack.

I'm here laughing at it, so maybe not being a dick but being funny

I'll also add that I hated the average hours of use thing cause whenever I would mail them in to get repaired it seemed like that time was being counted as well, so Id go in and get told I'm averaging something like 5 hours a day when I'm wearing them more like 16-18 hours a day.

Thanks for that! I never knew the back end, I kinda inferred some of it but it's nice to hear the process

Neat!

In my other comment I address the specific issue that's more common with hearing aids, which is overwhelming your brain with noice it's not used to.

This. A good audiologist will usually start the gain pretty low, like 30% otherwise it overwhelms your brain in a way that's hard to describe but will mean you don't like it. After a few months you can have the gain turned up.

But if you can't get the settings tweaked you can just turn volume down as soon as they are turned on.

Yo, compensation doesn't matter.

Outcome per dollar matters.

Hiring people at starvation wages may work, or hiring more expensive cream of the crop may work. What I care about when I'm donating is "did my dollars accomplish what I wanted?" And "could my dollars have done more for the cause elsewhere?"

If people are making the world better and have nice office furniture I don't really begrudge them that.

There are definitely plenty of women who have no trouble with producing enough lubrication. However "not making enough lubrication" becomes more common with menopause and perimenopause.

Probably. They're likely original to the house, so circa 1948

I kept pushing it off. I'm getting a new roof this year so I'll have those installed with the new gutters.

 

Gotta break out the ol' rain bibbs, jacket, galoshes, and gloves to get up on a ladder and clean them out. Because I am worried about the foundation getting more damaged by the water runoff not being directed at least a few feet away from the house.

 

Basically do people use timers? An app that prompts you when to shift to a different speed or exercise/resistance? Watch the clock?

As title says, no idea how this might work. I found workout plans, but they are like "so many minutes doing this thing, then switch to the next thing" and I really suck at watching the clock when working out.

I like the classes locally but I'm not able to get to them with my schedule.
