  • At least for me I find it more valuable, I don't engage in any sports at a competitive level, so watching the Xgames or Olympics doesn't really make me a better skateboarder or snowboarder.

    My gaming however is very often improved by watching speed and challenge runs of video games I enjoy.

  • I hit a wall at trig. Far as I got in math, and I've been a programmer for over half my career.

    Have always wanted to go back and learn trig and calc, but have never had the chance. Probably at this point would do better just to sit down w a text book and teach myself.

  • A few years ago, right before the pandemic in fact, I came very close to moving to Missouri.

    At the time, turning the job down because of the incredibly low final offer was one of the hardest things I'd ever done.

    Ended up finding a much better job and moving back to my home town in a decidedly blue state, really dodged a bullet on that one.

  • Mass effect LE, first time playing as a renegade and absolutely loving it.

    Never played as a biotic before either so it really does feel new. Just started ME3 last night after one hell of a suicide mission.

  • I don't have kids, and when I was in school no one had phones, so I'm way out of the loop, but there were various electronic devices that could be a distraction. Portable music players, handheld games, even a graphing calculator in a non-math or science class, any one of these would have been confiscated if used during class.

    I can not think of a single reason a student should have access to a phone during class that can't be solved another way.

  • Oh, I agree, but this was one on one with someone I trusted, and I know my body pretty well.

    We went through the books and talked about each excercise before trying anything. There was a pretty good percentage crossed off because they may have caused more harm than good.

    I am certianly not recommending yoga in place of medical treatment, I can only speak to the results I had.

  • Can't speak to all yoga, and I specifically avoided the woo woo side of things, but it really did help as far as posture, flexibility, and various chronic joint pain.

    The way it was explained to me was that various muscle groups were locked up trying to protect for example, my knee injury, so now my hips, back, shoulder, neck, etc where all out of whack.

    The process involved working backward through the various muscles and joints, loosening them up so that we could work on the next group, until I could finally move and strengthen around the original injury.

    I haven't gone for about eight years, but keep up with basic stretching and breathing excercises enough to maintain mobility.

    In the end I'm going to require knee surgery to actually fix the root problem.
