A great chiropractor is magic. I was at a point where I could barely walk. Rotated pelvis 15mm, 2 rotating vertebrae. She had me fixed up within a single session. Chronic back pain = gone. Maybe people shouldn’t take health advice from randos on twitter.

My mom drilled this into my head my entire life: ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings. There are so many cues you have to create awareness — sound, body language, where your exits are, trusting your gut about the people around you. I saw others say no headphones while out — 100%

I had someone explain it this way: if your wife’s needs are not met, and you and her are not operating as a unit, the child’s needs cannot be met (during a state of conflict, not saying single parents can’t provide). So investing in the relationship ensures the child can prosper.

Antivirus, from a publisher perspective, is one of the worst possible things you could ever deal with. For example for a windows app, you need to submit your binaries for whitelisting with AV companies that offer it, every time your EV code certificate is renewed. No publisher change, no software change, just a cert renewal. Many of them use FTP/SFTP to do this, which you have to go through their awful support to get access to. And then the FTP access expires. So you have to do it all over again every 1-3 years.
