Ok thanks for that! I think I may try out a firmer mattress sometime.

Can I ask why that mattress was especially good for sex? Like, more than a typical mattress? Asking cause I like sex and have FOMO.

Out of context "When I saw that WAP thing I thought “Why on earth someone will need this?” " Is like, yeah, no one is gonna want wet ass pussy.

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

Medically the gluteal fold is the buttcrack.

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

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.

Yes. Easy patch.

I mean, public transport is a fucking ton of money to start up, and anywhere outside an urban center it is not just a loss but almost a total loss due to distances.

I remember being in a meeting in grad school to discuss the school bus system as part of the student review of finances. We had a bus route that went to another town a good distance away, and it was nearly always empty or with like 2 people on it, so they basically said once the grant money is gone we will shut down this route. We can’t afford to put good money into something expensive and isn’t getting used.

I realize there is a lot about car culture feeding that, but it remains a massive obstacle. Switching from existing structures like parking etc to public transport? How? How fast? What do we do with that space? Who pays for it? I’m frustrated by the system but we can’t just start from a blank slate, we have to work with it.

I get that, and I’m kinda trying to see how to best use my limited time in the mornings for workouts. I can’t lift weights anymore due to joint issues, so I’m trying to keep the sexy legs I earned!

thats basically what I was doing at the gym, but the bikes with present modes don’t have enough adjustability to fit me very well and my back ends up hurting afterwards. So I need to switch to using one of the dumb bikes with all the adjustments but no computer like what you see in a spin class.

That and my kids wouldn’t stand for hours of exercise, I get like 30 minutes. I was just going indefinitely and keeping my rpm around 100, but I’m trying to mix it up

Whats an ESG?

Electronically Sourced… Giganautasaurous?

What would you pick as your top 3? Top 2?

I see autonomy sorta winding through this one, any thoughts on why that’s a big deal for you?

Curious as I’ve done this exercise before but only in short lists. I think I did it in couples therapy once as well, and, yeah, autonomy probably not a good one in the setting.
