I've probably needed PT for the past couple years. However, last time I went for an acute injury, it cost me $1200 in scans. The result was them saying there was nothing visibly wrong and it would probably clear up on its own in a couple of more weeks (they told me 4-6 weeks post injury and this was on week 3). So I essentially paid all that money for nothing.
I'm in the fortunate position that I can technically afford these kinds of expenses, but I still put off care because of the price. I completely understand why people in a worse position than me would absolutely not go to the doctor.
Today marks a decade since I started full-time employment at my current company. In that time, I've had 8 managers and soon to be 5 job titles (all doing the same thing). 3 of those managers were over the past 18 months and all were laid off.
I'm tired, boss.
On the plus side, my net worth has 20x since then. I met my spouse. Bought our dream house. Adopted a spoiled dog. Travelled to 6 countries. And restarted my hobby sport. Life has definitely been good for this past decade.
I guess this is why it's important to remember to live your life while you're in the boring middle. When I think about my job, it sounds miserable. But otherwise this past decade has been the absolute best 10 years of my life.
Spreadsheet day! I haven't been following my portfolio too closely this month. Every time I checked the market, it seemed like it was in the red. I expected to be way down this month because that was the vibe I got from the market.
Turns out I'm way up from last month. I guess the lesson is that the news always makes things sound more dire than they are in actuality. Also, indexing is the way to go.
I ended up working in Product at a tech company. Definitely not a career I'd ever heard about before landing or envisioned myself doing, but it's been great for supporting my dream life.
I feel pretty fortunate that my lowest point wasn't that bad in the grand scheme of things.
I was stuck in a dead end job that paid peanuts and was in a somewhat codependent relationship with someone who was not good for me. I also couldn't afford to move out of my parents basement due to the crappy job.
Ultimately, I realized I had to make drastic changes due to being pretty miserable with my life. I quit my job and went back to uni for a more marketable degree. I worked my ass off to get good internships and ended up at one that turned into a full-time job that I've now been at for over a decade. My ex did me the favor of dumping me. I ended up meeting my now spouse at my career job. We bought a house, got a dog, have traveled to numerous countries, and saved enough money that work is becoming increasingly optional.
Overall, I just had to recognize that the status quo was making me miserable and starting to incrementally making changes to my life that would get me closer to where I wanted to be. Past me never could have imagined what was to come for present me, but by just taking one step at a time to improve things, I've found incredible happiness.
I've seen it generally recommended to sequence protein and fiber before anything else in the meal. So yes eating your carbs an hour earlier would in fact be worse for your blood sugar.
I'm not sure how it would be impacted if you ate the carbs an hour later though.

You still have to have a valid ticket to board the plane. So I'm not sure what the concern would be.

Needs more marshmallows
Vegan butter chicken.
I haven't tried any of the recipes online, but in my more veg phase of life I would use store bought sauce and tofu and it was always delicious.
Like the dog version of Flat Stanley
I'm pretty sure private insurance exists in most countries with universal healthcare.
I mean...it wasn't that long ago that only boys were diagnosed with autism.
Dang that sucks! I've heard it can take ages for the brain to heal from injuries. Hope your symptoms get better soon.
My state is 100% mail in ballots.

Veterinarian, marine biologist, or actor depending on what age you asked me. Now, I am none of those things.
Microwave nachos. Tortilla chips, shredded cheese, and whatever else you like on nachos. Toss it in the microwave until the cheese melts.
Anywhere between 24.5 and 97.7%. Those are crazy numbers!
Did they lower it for Charlie Kirk?
Italian is essentially a cross between Spanish and French. If you know both, you're basically 80% of the way to knowing Italian.
Given how much more practical French is, I'd say learn it first, then learn Italian later.

I'm not sure how it would be impacted if you ate the carbs an hour later though.
That was my takeaway from the article as well. This is not a clear cut case for either side.
