Been going for years. I have exercises I do… but they say it could take more than a year for the soft tissue to correct itself this way.

Yeah, I have the mat. And walking is fine. I can walk pretty far with no issues. Standing still is painful though. And I know it is weak core muscles. But the exercises to strengthen them cause the si joints to hurt 24/7. My pt struggled to find stuff to help. And I do those, but they just don’t seem to be enough. As for working up to longer and longer standing times, I have adhd, and such things are near impossible, I’ve tried. So I need more like physical reminders that can’t be ignored. Like belt… could put spikey stuff on it so when I slide forward I will feel it and be inclined to slide back. That is where I was going with this.
Yes, this. The assumption of certain death outside during threadfall, and the supposed inate fear humans have of Thread just doesn’t work. If only a few Thread get through for the ground crews, you could just run away. It falls slow enough. For books, you can get away with that. But film would need to rework Thread significantly.
Prolly true. Maybe we can get an extended cut for us nerds.
yep. I have a sit/stand desk. My posture is still crap when I stand. And then new things hurt along with the old.
I work from home… what belt… they are lucky I wear pants. :)
Honor Harrington might be good on a big screen in the present political climate. (Female lead plus a cat)
The myth adventures might be right for a different flavor of comedy.
No shit. I’m very suprised. Some of it gets rather technical for the masses.
I’m a lifelong pern fan, but… the immense fear of thread won’t come across well on the screen in my opinion. And thread fighting will be hard to make such that it has the same magnitude as it can in your imagination. All in all, thread is over played. It can’t be such a harrowing fight in the skies, and still be so devastating if one got through unnoticed. Cause if the fight in the skies was so hard, more would get by, and some would get missed over the years. And that is played off as the end of the world. In your imagination, that can work, but on screen, not so much. That means they would need to make some fundamental change to film it.
I actually have a sit stand desk. And do use it some. But I have some issues with my hips and SI joints. Standing without walking gets painful pretty fast.
Sure, but I already have significant muscle problems… But I wasn’t looking for a harness, more like a belt that would be uncomfortable if I tried to slide my butt forward. So more like a reminder…
Yeah, possibly on the core muscles stuff. But the shoulder and neck pain is getting really bad. In theory I would be able to loosen the belt a bit so that it isn’t holding me up, just “reminding” me to keep my butt back in the chair where it belongs. I have tried yoga balls and a variety of chairs that are supposed to “force” you to sit up right. I always managed to end up in an even worse posture whenever I got deeply into the code.
Well, I figured it would at least keep my butt back where it belongs, and maybe that would reduce the slouching. I also have a problem with my shoulders… seems when I slide forward, the arms of the chair are closer to my shoulders causing all sorts of issues.
Interesting page. But I don’t see anything on there about which send data home or what not.
ouch. I got rid of my breadboard and such after college… more than 20 years ago. This sounds like it is more of an adventure then I have time for.
Well, I suppose by the time we no longer have to work for a living, we will easily have extremely good sex robots. So it will probably be an irrelevant question.
Oh I agree with you on sex work in the present day. I just go a step further for the future. People should work because they want to, not have to. The value of a person’s work should not determine the value of the person. One thing I do wonder though. If we didn’t have to work, many people still would because they enjoy the work. Would people do sex work in that situation? If they want to, I support thier right to do so. But it was a thought that came to me reading this post, that I haven’t fully explored in my head yet.
When I see that I think both should be illegal.
Yeah, but I hate penalizing all the people who are responsible for the actions of those who aren’t. And who would even determine what a professional is…
I actually have one and tried. But it is too hard to type while walking.
