    It was. Two different OBs, same outcome twice. IUDs are a great solution for almost everyone, but like everything it can go wrong and some people exist as living corner cases. Meh. I'm 45. Married 17 years with two kids. Love them but no plans for more in any imaginable life situation. The IUD...

    IUDs work great until they don't. My wife has had them dislodge twice and needed (minor) surgery for a perforated uterus.

    I've done a lot of jiu jitsu training. The concept is fine subject to the absolute stupidity of restrictions that prevent police from using the traditional positional controls of mount, side mount, and face down pins. The amount of training required to execute those safely is far lower than this...

    I don't have experience with whatever OS you're running, but it sounds like the container doesn't have access to the larger file system. There should be a way to mount your target directory inside the container.

    Home gym?

    What kind of workouts are you looking to do? If standard weight stuff, buy or make a power rack and put a pull-up bar wherever you want. Use remaining space for dumbbells.

    Any chance the outlet you're using is accidentally wired with reverse polarity (flipped hot/neutral)? Try the sander on a different outlet on a different circuit. If something is miswired upstream on the cirtuit all the downstream outlets can be affected. Take a multimeter and test the voltage...

    We've completely forgotten that the natural state of information is public domain, and copyright is a specific exception carved out to encourage artistic creation. What's bullshit is that the term of copyright was lobbied by Disney up to an insane "life plus 70" when it started at 14 years.

    God fucking forbid that a game have a natural end. We seemed to do just fine without seasons until ~2015. Just delete your character if you need a reset. (Assuming you can, lol.) What I really object to is having content within a season that becomes inaccessible unless you play "enough" during...

    Most people seem to be bitching about the fact that you get one character per account, can't change servers to be with friends, and can't delete the character. Lol? No idea if any of that is true.

    "“Water molecules like to stick to glass and also to other water molecules more than they like to disperse in the air,” Jordan Bimm, a postdoctoral researcher and space historian at the University of Chicago, told the AP. “So if there is no external force, water remains in ‘clumps’ in the...

    120 mph is almost triple the kinetic energy of 74 mph. If they're breaking femurs at 74, a diver is turning into soup at terminal velocity.

    Death and... Taxes.

    There are estimated tax calculators you can use for this. If the money doesn't clear until Q3/4 you can probably also get away with saying that you have unevenly distributed income and they'll waive the underpayment penalty. I have a consulting business with very lumpy cash flows and I do this...

    I've never seen a drywall anchor that didn't eventually fail. I don't trust them for anything more structural than thermostats. Studs or nothing. Pictures just need nails and hanging brackets. I've got a 45-lbs mirror hanging on a three-nail bracket and it's survived earthquakes.

    Investing General Discussion

    This is a fair point. While this is an awful strategy from our perspective, asset growth is not necessarily the goal of a late-stage retiree. In my 70's and 80's I would definitely forego returns to be 100% bulletproof sure that I'd have enough money to last until I die. While the S&P has been...

    Mattresses

    I buy $500 12-inch foam mattresses and replace them every ~6-10 years as they start to develop valleys. My wife and I both have lumbar issues and they totally went away after moving from sprung beds. If you know someone handy with fabric you can cut up an upholster the retired mattresses and...
