I miss doing cocaine off of tits, drinking a 750 of rum, staying up until 4:30 AM and being ready to do it all again when I woke up at 2 in the afternoon.

Any recommendations?Kory wrote: ↑09 Sep 2019, 7:05pmI've had good luck giving up the mouse and using a pen tablet instead, it's a more natural position for the wrist to be in. And then if that starts getting repetitive stress issues, you can go back and forth so you're not doing any one thing too much.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑09 Sep 2019, 4:11pmDo you get it from your arm splayed out on the desk moving a mouse around? That's what did it to me. I cured it a few ways. When I am sitting at a desk I rest my arm on a ream of paper. By raising my arm up a little it keeps me from slouching and putting too much pressure on the nerve (Ulna nerve I think). The other thing I have done which has greatly helped is to get an adjustable desk. Mine has a crank to raise and lower it. I really like standing while I do computer work.

The Wacom Intuous Pro S (https://us-store.wacom.com/product/waco ... undefined1) is a good one. I used to use the now out-of-production Bamboo, but this is a great alternative. It's just the right size for mouse replacement, doesn't take up much desk space. The larger ones are for artists, mostly.Mimi wrote: ↑10 Sep 2019, 8:01amAny recommendations?Kory wrote: ↑09 Sep 2019, 7:05pmI've had good luck giving up the mouse and using a pen tablet instead, it's a more natural position for the wrist to be in.

Yeah I have a nice insulated water bottle that will be filled with rum and hot cider. I have some nice maple breakfast stouts too.

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
Last month I bought a rowing machine to use on my non-biking days. Quite like it except for the fact that the seat is poorly padded. I bought an additional gel seat, but that's also not doing it. The only reason I have to take breaks is because my ass gets sore. So I've finally made the jump to asshole cyclist fashion (even tho I don't ride outside anymore) and ordered some padded shorts to supplement the gel seat. They haven't arrived yet, but I love this inside-out photo of them:
We've been calling them the baboon shorts.

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
So we lost... I had 3 hits, 2 runs 2 beers and a rather costly error (so did everyone). The ground was frozen with patches of ice on the basepaths and more than a dusting of snow in the outfield. The ball was bouncing off the infield dirt very unpredictably. We started getting it together in the latter innings but by then it was too little too late.
Another game tomorrow to stay out of last place...

Yes, and I played during summer too but this is fucking Vermont so you make adjustments.101Walterton wrote: ↑09 Nov 2019, 4:49pmIs baseball usually a summer sport?revbob wrote: ↑09 Nov 2019, 12:14pmSo we lost...

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
They arrived today and, um, they feel like I'm wearing a full diaper. I'll give 'em a shot when I ride the bike tomorrow morning and see if they have much effect.Marky Dread wrote: ↑09 Nov 2019, 6:11pmThanks for putting me off my lunch!Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑09 Nov 2019, 10:12amLast month I bought a rowing machine to use on my non-biking days.
