Fire is a natural and necessary part of many ecosystemsm. It keeps parasitic insect populations down, stuff like ticks and chiggers, and some plant species rely on fire to prepare the soil for seeds and even is required for some plants to release their seeds. In dry ecosystems like the western USA it also consumes old dead plant material, reducing the fuel available for future fires and reducing fire severity overall. Many foresters and fire fighters advocate for increasing prescribed burns, essentially forest fires that we light on purpose in cooler and wetter times of the year to consume the fuel without risking a catastrophic fire that is difficult to control. I just think that’s neat.

If you make a bootable linux usb drive you can do whatever you want with all windows stupid files without even having to install linux.

Sounds like they need a publicist or something.

It’s the trusted platform module which I know almost nothing about but I’m sure is fucking stupid. My monster of a desktop from 2018 also can’t run win11, and the only reason is my cpu is missing the tpm that it requires.

At that point you teach them how to do it themselves. Isn’t there a way to give them an account that only has read access so they can’t inadvertently screw up the database?

Best we can do is a pair of robot arms. One would make you unbalanced.

And move to a cheap spacious house in the middle of nowhere, ideally somewhere absolutely beautiful. You could work anywhere you want and never need to actually live there. You could also become the first person on every planet and moon. I’d probably try to get nasa to pay me a billion dollars to be on call to teleport anything they want to anywhere in the solar system.

In my experience this most often comes from a failure to perform routine maintenance, and Windows being a bloated rotting whale, decaying on the beach, slowly expanding and spreading its horrid filth across the entire system. Give your computer a new life by cleaning out all the dust, reapplying thermal paste to the CPU, oiling fan bearings, and installing a lightweight Linux distro, or at least a fresh whale carcass (clean windows install).

For some history, the original DOTA was a custom map in Warcraft 3. It pretty much defined the moba genre. From there lots of clones were created, and eventually some were made into full games. League of Legends is one of those, and became the most popular. So yes, they’re all just Warcraft 3 with only the hero parts.

The ones I do are mostly heavy isometrics. I do weighted dead hangs for the inside forearms and isometric reverse grip barbell curls for the outside forearms. For the curls I’ll hold at about 90 degrees. For both I shoot for more than 20 second holds with as much weight as I can. The specific exercises aren’t as important as doing something that creates a lot of tension on the tendons you want to work, sustaining the tension, and being safe. The last thing you want is to exacerbate the problem.

So they’re not just going to materialize out of thin air anymore?

Hey I see you. I had some serious tennis elbow a few years ago that basically prevented me from using my dominant hand for a few weeks. I couldn’t even lift a cup of water with it. I went to PT and they gave me some exercises and stretches to do. The stretches maybe helped but the exercises were trivially easy and did nothing for me. It feels like it got better just by leaving it alone more than anything. It’s acted up every once in a while since then, mostly when I get cocky and do something stupid. Recently I decided to find out how to actually fix it, and I found out that the exercises they gave me were actually ineffective, according to the medical literature. In order to improve tendon health and heal chronic tendon injuries, you need to do resistance training. The best method to improve tendon strength and health is to do like 2 or 3 low rep sets, with as much weight as you can handle, every week. It takes high tension to grow tendons, with low tension doing basically nothing. You also want to do the exercises with slow deliberate motion to avoid sudden high loading of the tendons. I’ve been doing that for my tennis elbow for the past couple months and it has helped a lot. It was scary at first to load my elbow with a lot of weight, but I slowly worked up to it and was careful every time and haven’t had a flareup since, despite doing more lifting than I have in my life. My suggestion is to find an exercise that works the problem tendons, and slowly increase the resistance over some weeks, to as much weight as you can lift. Always be slow and deliberate. It shouldn’t cause you pain at any point, and if it does back off to where it doesn’t.

Tldr; research says to improve tendon strength do high weight low rep exercises with slow deliberate motion. Growing tendons takes longer than muscles so take your time. Should help your pain. Is working forme.y

It’s fascinating that the enshittification is taking place on both ends of Google. I would have thought that the slow bastardization of search was for the benefit of advertizers but it’s bad for everyone except Google.

That’s ok accessory fruit club is pretty cool. I always preferred drupe club though.
