I can't claim to have much experience in the matter, but I don't think people who just chill generally have chariots fitted with iron. Like if your neighbor happened to have a tank and a bunker, would you say they're just chilling?

The cabin is usually pressurized to the equivalent of 8000 ft asl. So the dispenser does have to deal with pressure changes. A simple vent hole aught to take care of that though.

I can't launch minecraft without first opening the microsoft app store signing out, then signing back in.

Well a hearty well done to everyone involved. And thank you for showing it to us. It is refreshing to see examples of people building up their community when the majority of news focuses on negative events.

Do you want some discouragement?

Stainless steel is stains less not rusts never. You would need additional measures to keep the stand from degrading over thousands of years. Your local archeology department could give you some pointers on how to accomplish that.

Or maybe you design the stand in such a way that the tungsten object is held firmly, but still easily visible in rusty stainless jaws.

How many people did it take to get this done? It looks fantastic for something that is just getting started.

Meloxicam has been a major help in managing my back pain. It's not recommended to take it regularly since it can cause digestive ulcers like high doses of ibuprofen. But I get bad flare ups with travel and meloxicam is very effective at helping me avoid a flare up.

It might be worth asking your doctor about if they haven't had you try it before.

I notice changes in sensory processing first. Reading becomes difficult and my eyes lose focus easily/take a long time to focus. I also notice a difference in my thought patterns. My thoughts start to kind of skip around. It becomes hard to concentrate on any single thing, but not in a distracted kind of way. I very much realize that this description is vague and probably doesn't make sense unless you experience similar migraines. I do also experience visual auras, but those aren't apparent until the migraine is about to become very painful.

A full blown migraine manifests as sensory processing mapping to pain. Light and sound are unbearable even in relatively moderate amounts. One of the worst migraines I had led to the pressure of my head on the pillow making every hair follicle feel like a a needle poking my scalp. You don't realize how much your brain autonomously filters out tons of sensory input to keep your focus on a very small slice of interest until the filters break down and let everything through.

Over the counter pain pills do nothing for my migraines. Sensory deprivation and sleep are the only things that can actually stop a migraine for me. I have blackout blinds, a well fitting eye mask, and foam earplugs ready to go. Early detection is very important. If I act as soon as I notice the warning signs, I can usually avoid a full blown migriane. A large glass of water + darkness and silence will usually have me back up in less than an hour. If a migraine gets to the point of pain, I will need sleep to get rid of it and will still feel rather off afterwards. Also falling asleep with a brutal migraine is no easy feat. A catch-22 so to say.

Well my goal is more of a "get out" than "get ahead." But maybe that attitude is why I'm not more of a winner.

Dang, guess I should have invested mine like you instead of putting it toward student loans.

I've received more healthcare provider PII leak letters in the last couple years than the number of appointments I've had. Everyone is so eager to come up with some shiny new software to sell in the healthcare goldrush, but so many of them are absolutely terrible at security.
