What?

Can confirm. When we moved back to Colorado from Austin, we drove all day at 55mph (truck was speed limited) which was about 13 hours, and we were still in Texas. It was very disheartening.

Applause to you for this.

Did the same thing years ago. It was huge and black and blue. X-rays showed that I only strained it (no actual tears or tissue damage), but I could almost walk on it. It hurt, but I have a different tolerance for pain. I got a neoprene ankle brace with a splint in it and wore that for about 2 months afterwards. It was about 4 months before I was running again.

Now, having said all that, go see a doctor. You may have damaged it differently. There are a lot of bones and tendons in your foot and they all need to work properly for you to walk, so get it checked out. You might be out a few hundred dollars, but if you can't walk in 40 years, you'll probably wish you'd done it. Even if it's bad, there's a good chance you'll be just wearing the same neoprene brace this summer.

That's my cupboard

You can happily do this with a leg press machine where the plate is solid with the mounts. It's one piece and if it was going to tip over, it would do it as soon as you took the weights off the storage pegs. It's one unit and does rely on symmetry. I do it all the time with myself and my clients without issue

The Smith machine can be similarly loaded, but many have a mechanism that assumes the bar stays level. It will work, but you could prematurely wear the track, or jam it and break the machine or hurt yourself.

If you're working with a free bar, it's advised that you don't.

I was thinking of working on a PhD, but enough people with a PhD have told me not to that I've decided maybe I should listen to the smart people and not do it. Best wishes to you, you tortured soul!

When I realized I could say "I've been doing this for 20 years".

Strangest thing that has worked for me is finding out that deposits are sticky: money tends to stay where you put it. So, switch your direct deposit to your savings account and then transfer out what you need for bills. More of it will tend to stay in savings than be the "i have extra money this month, maybe I'll go shopping" money you discover at the end of the month. This is related to pay yourself first, but it makes it much easier. If you automate your bills -- from your checking account, not through the biller's site -- you will very quickly start to see your savings grow. Change that savings account into an investment account and things start to build even more.

When I have my MacBook connected to an external monitor through USB adapters, it does drain a little faster. I haven't tested if my HDMI monitor connected directly does as well, but I'm sure it would. Any external monitor should require some extra GPU resources which means more energy which means your battery should drain faster. How much faster depends on lots of things.

Same exact story. The whole first 2 hours I'm constantly having my kids Google Google how to lock the car, how do we adjust the mirrors, how do we turn it on, how do we change the radio station, how do we turn on the air, etc etc etc. On the third day my daughter is just trying to open the door and she yells "why is this car so fucking annoying?!"

It's obvious it was designed by a child trying to look cool to the other kids.

This is what I do when I know the other person will insist on buying (like they always do). Had a friend who always bought lunch for years before I finally got there first.

In other situations, the classy thing is to say "please allow me to get this; I insist. You can get the next one."
