  • Sufjan Stevens is relearning to walk after Guillain-Barre Syndrome left him immobile, hospitalized

  • Glad to hear he's recovering well. People underestimate the degree of deconditioning that happens after just a few weeks of immobilization and hospitalization. Looking forward to more great music from him.

    But also... Tumblr?

  • Does anybody know of a credible organization to donate to that is providing aid for the victims?

  • I May Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, What Specialty Doctor Should I Consult With?

    Jump

  • Note: my experience is limited to the US medical system, so things may be different where you are. However, I definitely agree with getting wrist braces first while waiting for your appointment. Schedule an appointment with a primary care provider who can evaluate you and recommend either medications or refer you to a specialist. Often times carpal tunnel can be managed with over the counter medications, wrist braces, and avoiding the repetitive movements that exacerbate it (usually typing in today's world). If not, then the specialist of choice is often an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in wrist and hand surgery, though there are also plastic surgeons that specialize in hand surgery as well.

  • [OC] Summer nights in Chicago are hard to beat

    Jump

  • Oh, and for anyone interested. Shot with my Sony a7iv, Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens, aperture f/7.1, 3.2 second exposure on a tripod. The relatively long exposure is what gives the water jets that soft, smooth look

  • This doctor said vaccines magnetize people. Ohio suspended her medical license.

  • Doctors of osteopathic medicine (D.O.) are legitimate doctors (at least from my experience in the US healthcare system). They function identically to doctors of allopathic medicine (M.D.) with the rare addition of osteopathic manipulation. But their standards of training and credentialing are essentially the same.

  • Yeah the big draw of custom keyboards for me was trying different switches, so hot swap was a must. I already have more switches than I need. If I could do it over again, I would have first invested in a switch tester

  • It's the 1st generation Google Pixel Stand, a wireless phone charger. Overpriced and not worth the money since I prefer wired charging to maximize battery longevity

  • Still deciding. I'm relatively new to the hobby so still getting a feel for different switches. I've only recently become a fan of linears after discovering heavy linears, and now going back to tactiles feels so crunchy. The bananas have a very light bump at the top, so once you pop through that, they just feel like smooth linears. The bump for me basically serves to prevent accidental key presses when resting my fingers on the keys.

  • [OC] Raised Bridges in Chicago

  • Yes it was. The city had a super eerie feel back then, didn't it?

  • [OC] Raised Bridges in Chicago

  • Oh that's cool, I didn't know the raised oar salute was a thing, but that makes sense.

    They sometimes have boats too tall to pass through along the river, but they just raise one bridge at a time to minimize traffic disruptions. Kind of a fun spectacle to see if one hasn't seen it before
