Coworker here in US had some strange neurological issues(vertigo among other stuff) and has had to wait months between visits to see a specialist. He's had to WFH several times because driving is dangerous. Of course along with the waits he also is spending thousands on the visit, iirc he almost hit his ~$6000 out of pocket max this year.

Price went up for people not grandfathered in. I couldn't pay my sub in between job loss and lost my $7/month sub, but most of my music was on Google music now YT music, so I pay for it too.

CEOs almost never have the skills and experience in actually doing the work of their company. I and other techs have had to do IT work for the CEOs of our IT support company. Plus one of them accidentally opened a phishing email.

Hmmm could be... holes seem massive for that though. I dabble in (indoor) bouldering and no hand or foothold needs ro be that big, especially for a relatively simple slope.

I'm not quite as bad as the post, but emotions are complicated. I like friends, and I like being invited, even if I might not be able to go.

I do want to go out to places, but sometimes the distance, timing, proximity to last event, etc make it too much.

I don't want to fall out of the list of invitees though, as I will want to go at some point in the future. Sometimes it's an event that not going to might be a problem otherwise, even if I'm not up to it, but to maintain invites/friendship it's best to suck it up.

I don't vape or smoke (I have used a few THC carts from time to time, but I usually just take half an edible, and the cart is used maybe once a month if that often), but I still will criticize broad generalizations from limited studies, especially not peer reviewed.

I do agree that their findings seem to be more about regulation than vaping itself, and I'm happy I don't vape, but I'm not going to act like I can just confidently tell every person I know the science has proven their habit is worse than smoking.

I've heard some either Australian or British or both that pronounce H as something close to Hayche. Using a similar accent, and making it a bit hard to hear by mumbling or something, Hayche and age can sound similar.

Hayche is of course made up, but that's how it feels to me to write it, but I'm no linguist, and I don't know how to write in pronunciation guides.

In certain accents, age and H sound similar.

Very possible st stops. I've done it once, shocking myself more than the other driver.
