My lower back has been killing me & im not sure how to relax it.. it seizes up every time I pick her up or sleep. I just don’t get enough rest to not seize it again.

awkward nerdy ~20yo guy who seems to have also started lifting at the gym around January no longer smells terrible when he walks by, is tending to his facial hair, got a better haircut, is sitting with better posture, and looks generally more comfortable in his skin

@AetiusRF @Nessakins_ I may have bribed the dog to drop one of my good wool socks by offering him one of my husband's crappy cotton socks.

in japan they sell baby formula in little pre-measured hard packed cubes that you can easily carry around with you and just toss into a bottle of water when you’re ready.

I got locked out of my apartment in Oxford England the like 2nd night of study abroad. I was out all night partying & smashed my phone on the cobblestone earlier in evening & my apartment was like a 25 minute convoluted walk down paths under a few sketchy bridges & through the woods from the main city center … but I somehow got my ass home without Google Maps while I was blacked out. I have zero memory of how I eventually got back inside without a working phone or doorbells or “RAs” anything like that in another country lmao but I figured it out cuz I’m high agency not a loser whiney bitch !!!!

Parents, I need real opinions on this because I’m genuinely torn. Imagine your daughter is away at college, living in a shared dorm. One day she steps out of her room and accidentally leaves her key inside. It happens. She’s not being reckless, just human. While she’s out, her roommate comes back, drops her things off, and then leaves again… but locks the door behind her. Now your daughter is stuck outside, locked out of her own room, probably stressed, maybe embarrassed, trying to figure out what to do next. So here’s the question, who do you even get upset with in that situation? On one hand, your daughter forgot her key. That’s on her. It’s one of those small mistakes that turns into a big inconvenience, and part of growing up is learning to double-check things like that. But on the other hand, the roommate knew it was a shared space. Would it have hurt to at least check if…

Mark Zuckerberg engineered a custom hardware device for his wife in 2019. No clock face. One faint light. A one-hour window. Priscilla had a specific problem. She'd wake up in the middle of the night, check her phone for the time, and the number itself spiked her anxiety. 4am meant worry about the kids waking soon. 5:30 meant calculating whether to just get up. The information was the trigger. Most engineers approach "can't sleep" by adding things to the bedroom. A meditation app. A Hatch alarm. A weighted blanket. A sleep coach. Mark removed the variable that was running the wake-up loop. The Sleep Box sits on Priscilla's nightstand and shows nothing for 23 hours a day. Between 6am and 7am it emits a single faint light. Faint enough not to wake her if she's still asleep. Visible enough that if she's already up, she knows it's okay to start the day. The rest of the night, dark. No clock. No time display. If she wakes at 3am she has no data to push her cortisol up with, so she goes back to sleep. He wrote the firmware and built the enclosure himself. No team, no procurement, no Meta resources. He posted the result on Instagram and said it worked better than he expected. The design move most CEOs would never run is the personal one. The instinct is to outsource a family problem to a specialist. A sleep coach. A doctor. A consumer electronics startup with a Series B and a marketing budget. Mark intervened at a specific link in the chain. Time data hitting Priscilla's brain at 3am was what broke sleep. The phone got moved off the nightstand and replaced with a box that physically cannot deliver that data. The box has no clock. That's the entire product.

@WodenWanderer @_JesseCinco @Avgolemeno They do. I was also taught to shoot "support hand supported" which made zero sense to me. The amount of body exposed is the same if I'm using both hands so why tf am I transitioning

@_JesseCinco @Avgolemeno I wonder if the trans-shouldering community also teaches to switch hands with the pistol. If they are committed to the idea we should see that gat changing hands a lot.

“Wil Willis and Garand Thumb change shoulders during CQB so it’s a good technique” And “There is plenty of live fire footage….” of guys changing shoulders during CQB Thanks for the laughs dude I needed a deep, whole-hearted laugh
L+Ratio Hornblower@l_ratio97090

@_JesseCinco Wil Willis and GarandThumb are two big names that easy to find practicing it. Plenty of courses and manuals describe it. Also, live footage is out there. Just say "I'm not as good with my off-side and ambidexterity is hard for me." You'll look like less of a cunt.

@jkjvinn Where I can am, most of our probable commercial poaching is Asians of various flavors, but just by sheer number of poachers, it's Hispanic dominated.

@WeaponOutfitter I'm just going to come out and say it: Starting Strength sucks. Ridiculously low volume, especially in deadlifts. 5/3/1 is far superior for new lifters.

Magic mushrooms dropped my sperm count 69%. 90 days later, my motile count in top 1% of all males. To our knowledge, this is the first time this has been documented in a human. Here is what we think happened. Sperm cells have tiny receivers on them called 5-HT2A receptors. Psilocybin turns those receivers on for 4-8 hours which causes the sperm to start swimming in wild, frantic patterns way too early. Like a sprinter who runs full speed before the race even starts. They burn out and the test sees them as broken. At the same time, psilocybin spikes your stress hormones cortisol and ACTH and elevates prolactin. High prolactin tells your body to slow down sperm production. So the factory got a pause signal right in the middle of making a batch. Your body makes a completely new batch of sperm every 9-11 weeks. Three months later I retested. Every single number came back better than before taking magic mushrooms. We don't yet know if psilocybin triggered the improvement or if my baseline was already trending up. Either way, these are my best fertility markers ever measured: Total motile count: 411 million Motility: 64% Morphology: 12% Concentration: 212 million Count: 642 million To put these numbers into perspective: the WHO considers a motile count above 42 million as normal, mine is 411 million, nearly 10x. And a normal concentration is 16 million (mL), mine is 212 million (mL). It appears that the factory shut down for one cycle and then rebuilt everything from scratch. After psilocybin, I did 5-MeO-DMT, which doesn't appear to cause the same problem. It clears your body in 1-2 hours which isn’t long enough to trigger the receptor effect. Note: I also did extensive travel including a trip to China, and had 3 weeks of disrupted sleep in December 2025. Both could have nudged my numbers down, but neither explains a 69% drop on their own.

@MorlockP I then called the jail and they said he hadn't been a patron of their fine establishment for six months. Tradie then got super pissed. Apparently he thought there was some sort of HIPAA equivalent for being in jail and they had violated his privacy.

@MorlockP We had one tradie who, when he finally answered the phone after three or four attempts over a month and a half, told us that he had missed his third rescheduled appointment because he had been in jail.

Everyone's talking about $900B Anthropic. Here's what I keep thinking about: Claude is eating enterprise AI quietly. Compliance teams love it. Hospital systems trust it. Legal departments actually deploy it. All the boring stuff that matters when AI touches patient data or courtroom evidence. OpenAI won consumers. Anthropic is winning the contracts that pay 10x more per seat. A year from now $900B will look cheap.

GLP-1s affecting addiction pathways is the story that makes the weight loss narrative look small. If one molecule class can hit obesity, alcohol dependence, and potentially opioid cravings, we're not looking at a diet drug. We're looking at a fundamental reset switch for reward circuitry. The 70% reduction in total alcohol intake is a number that would make any pharma company kill for in a traditional addiction therapeutic. And this is a side benefit of a drug already approved for something else.
