I have fallen and landed with my full 200 pounds on the phone held in my hand grinding across 2 feet of asphalt. The scratch on the case is barely visible.

I walk the dogs on the beach at night, dropped the phone in the surf and watched the lit screen at night in the dark washed up the beach 20 feet away from me under the wave. I’m still typing on this indestructible beast.

You will pry my xcover pro 6 with swappable battery out of my cold dead hands.

Freedom!? That is our sacred word!

You’ll pry my tabs and red stapler out of my cold dead hands.

Zoomies happen for us as soon as we get home from the walk in the park, never in the park. Hardwood floors. Tom n Jerry and Loony Tunes creators obviously had dogs.

Yeah, we’re the opposite, we have a chest freezer in the garage on top of our kitchen freezer, so basically unlimited.

Same hunk of brown sugar for 10 years. Is there a shelf life? We don’t eat that much sugar…

Not my parents, me. Brown sugar goes in the freezer so it doesn’t dry out and become a piece of granite.

Every American has to try that at least once. Minus the orange subtance, but that one is my personal preference.

Driving to work 110 miles a day meant I had to get gas once per week, driving out of my way, stopping to get gas cost me 500 minutes per year as opposed to the two seconds to plug in at home. Totally a no brainer. I HATED stopping for gas on the way home from work at 11 in the evening, or whatever hour really. I think of people tied to ICE engines the way people were tied to outhouses a hundred years ago.

schwa for “uh”

That’s all I needed to turn an incomprehensible explanation to “oh! Got it!”

You my dear sir or madam are a GOD for introducing me to that particular day’s panel.

Can you explain your user name?

I’m worried it’s the end of an era. They have really high quality product, all of it!

As I read your comment, I suddenly had this image of a cat pausing, back leg straight in the air, looking up at me from licking is asshole, with a ‘What’??" expression on it’s face.

Young Diabetes!

Love the T1D analogy, from another mental T1D…

google has been crap as long as I can remember.

Eh what’s that sonny? I member when the term “Google” meant sumpin! Stomps off angrily waving his cane

Me at 8 weeks wondering what all the fuss is about.

3/4 c Stain Solver per load for the most cost effective solution. Has the most borax percent by weight. We order the 50lb tub and it lasts months. I’m not a shill, I promise! If we don’t use it for every load, our hard Colorado River water makes the laundry smell like ass.

I’m trying to think about a good medical analogy for what therapists and psychiatrists (that both prescribe meds and do therapy).

The best analogy I can come up with is thinking about mental health in 2 categories, and using medical treatment as an analogy like a previous user mentioned. You can have low level mental health issues where a little therapy is needed to reset your approach maybe using therapy every couple weeks for 6 months. Or you can have a serious condition that results in a threat to your or others life. That that doesn’t have to be death, it could be serious illness or physical injury.

It’s like the difference between someone needing a physical trainer at the gym to get back into shape, where you can white knuckle the process on your own but it’s WAY more efficient to get outside guidance. That example is someone with low level mental health problems. Then there’s the severe stroke victim in a coma for 3 months, this person will NOT benefit from a physical trainer, they need a medically trained physical therapist. This example is someone suicidal and non socially functional with MDD, or bipolar disorder that is cutting themselves, and other severe mental health issues. They need significant help, maybe PHP, or skilled weekly or even twice weekly therapy. And an individual can process through both low level and extreme states over the decades.
