- ^ Fucking ouch.
I'm dealing with shoulder impingement since late Nov/early Dec '23.Continuity - Now I’m worried about shoulder impingement.MrT
- Ow, my arm!
I think I caught shoulder impingement from reading these notesfuturefood - Dumbest, most painful injury I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t wish this on anyonemisterhow
- Yeah, it's a fucking shit sandwich. Upward movements on the sagittal plane? Well, you can forget about that. Ugh.Continuity

When you have a CD collection.
That contains Korn and Pearl Jam.
- and NirvanaOBBTKN
- Could be any band from the 90'sNBQ00
- I still like a lot of the stuff from the grunge days :)jagara
- When you have an album collection from your youth and a CD collection the basement of mom and dad's place. Oh, and all my college books.formed
- I will carry my CD collection to my graveletterhead
- I have an original Captain Fantastic LP from Elton John when it came out in 1975.CyBrainX

I wash my rice
- signs you care in the kitchen, introduced this to a friend who was ashamed they'd never known.imbecile
- jiro says you have to so I've always done it... but I don't know why?ArchitectofFate
- Who the hell doesn't wash their rice??Akagiyama
- I don't wash rice and never thought it was something anyone ever did.CyBrainX
- I never gave it much thought until I started eating it daily. That first rinse is gnarly.BonSeff
- In terms of why? It gets rid of dirt and other impurities, also gets rid of starch so its fluffy. I boil mine like pasta for 15 mins, drain and let steam in potBonSeff
- for 10 mins, perfect and fluffy everytimeBonSeff
- Isn't rice-rinsing for regular eaters about getting rid of the arsenic?NonEntity
- ^ That's the logic my wife givesstoplying
- The washing rice doesn't get rid of the arsenic, the boiling like pasta and draining that water does.BonSeff
- You gotta wash it to get rid of some of the starch so it doesn't turn into sticky rice unless that's your goal.Beeswax
- Dude if you’re draining rice you’re doing it wrong. Use the right amount of water.monospaced
- Don't knock it til you try it mono. So satisfying draining that nasty water after boilingBonSeff
- That Hersha Patel style https://www.youtube.…imbecile
- That vid lolYakuZoku
- https://media.tenor.…pango
- I can't with you rice drainers ...pango
- Sorry, I can knock it. Washing rice is mandatory, but boiling and draining is incorrect. The water isn’t “nasty” either. You’re using way too much.monospaced
- Uncle Roger is right. “If your rice is too wet you fucked up.” Draining rice? Hiyaaaa...monospaced
- @mono - actually, the entiriety of India cooks rice using loads of water. I've gone back to doing it that way - I much prfer the result and it's less faff.Nairn
- I think I if I had an actual rice cooker it'd be more predictable, but I found that doing it the E.Asian way led to failure more often than I liked.Nairn
- I can't with you starchy, nasty water absorbersBonSeff
- Which is to say, you may prefer to do it one way. but it is not 'correct' or better, it's just a particular method that works for you and others.Nairn
- Never mind that they cook rice completely different in Spain and Italy too... are they wrong?Nairn
- Fiucking rice elitists! And holy fuck uncle roger is so punchableBonSeff
- Cooking rice like pasta reduces arsenic as it releases into the cooking water and drains off after cooking because arsenic is water soluble.BonSeff
- If you cook rice the traditional way with approximately a 2:1 ratio of water to rice, the arsenic stays in the rice.BonSeff
- The arsenic in rice thing is a LOT to do with variety and region grown in - I remember looking into it when kid first started eating food...Nairn
- ..and whilst it was hard to get har figures, the imopression I had was that basmati was a safer option. Also, you have to eat a LOT of rice, continually, and...Nairn
- ..without other foodstuffs that mediate absorption.Nairn
- But yeah, wash your rice, people :) Some people (eg. shapesalad) soak it overnight, but I can't see that resulting in a nice firm grain. I may be wrong.Nairn
- I am talking about long grain brown, i eat 1/3 cup dailyBonSeff
- my system is just part of my dinner routine. it works without fail. so, it stays. lolBonSeff
- A third of a cup daily isn't much by 'Asian standards' :)Nairn

I play 6-a-side football once a week on a Monday night. I'm 47 and after most games I feel totally fucked. Like i've put a good shift in. This week I felt more fucked than usual but had to remember that i'm playing with another guy who's 68, had a stroke several years ago, and he's still up for it.
Don't let age define you!

i've never knowingly heard anything by tayor swift or seen anything with adam sandler in it
- nor can i spell any moarhans_glib
- i've seen The wedding singerCalderone2000
- get you, young'un!hans_glib
- first one same.Wordsworth
- I’ve seen almost every Sandler movie but never heard one song by SwfitieRamanisky2
- Couldn't name a Swiftie, but could name a thousand times Sandler didn't make me laugh.garbage
- Funniest thing he ever did was accidental. When the Sony email hack happened, it was mostly people calling him an asshole..garbage
- ..and complaining about how unfunny he was. Picture some higher-ups at Sony going MST3K on the Sandman.garbage
- The new Sandler move Spaceman is pretty good! And Uncut Gems is great, but stressful.Frosty_spl
- Plenty of good stuff from both of them... plenty of subpar crap from both of them.PonyBoy
- This is so unlikely. Are you saying you didn’t watch ANY SNL clips or episodes with him ever?monospaced
- I agree, he's been pretty inescapable for decades. Never intentionally made me laugh, but I will say his dress sense is hilarious.garbage
- He's fat, but he wears the clothes of a fatter college kid.garbage
- Sandler is 100% unacceptable. Almost as bad as Jim Carrey.CyBrainX
- Punch Drunk Love is an all time great movie. You old bastardbogue
- That's his one exception of a decent movie, back Carrey did his serious film. It's certainly not an "all time great".garbage
- Billy Madison is a masterpiecemonospaced
- Adam Sandler has done a 180 on me in the last few years. i still refuse to watch his older stuff, but the serious stuff he’s been putting out lately is great.scruffics
- Billy Madison is a masterpiece to the brains of 5-year-olds. That vehicle is running on nostalgia fumes.garbage
- Nostalgia is one of the earliest signs you're getting old if it's as unwarranted as an Adam Sandler movie.CyBrainX

I have one of those pill boxes with the days of the week on it now.

IF i forget to take the pills, it's a bad scene.ideaist - I got one too, welcome to being old.GuyFawkes

My mate who has a slowly worsening autoimmune disease sent me the tune he wants at his funeral today.
- Oh shit. Well, at the very least he has you and you should be proud of the how much you mean to him.
You're a good egg, PhanLo.Nairn - Cheers Nairn. ❤ He's still online dating so I was hoping it was just part of his prepping for the inevitable. The guy was always so health conscious...PhanLo
- ...compared with the others in our friend group. So many times I'd stay at his student flat super drunk and he'd be out before I got up doing a cycle.PhanLo
- Woah... My best friend, from when I was younger, is in the same situation. Sad!!
I'm sure you'll fulfill his wish, phanOBBTKN - What's the song?palimpsest

- I've already told my wife I don't care what happens to my body or what kind of ceremony they want to have.palimpsest
- But if there is something I could leave behind is for them to play this at my funeral:

- No sir, I don't like it.YakuZoku
- is it a male or female that is going to put the finger up your arse?milfhunter
- Mine was female. Then she said she needed a witness, so a young female nurse sat and watched. They would have normally got a man to do it, but there weren'tcherub
- any in the office that day, just us...cherub
- @cherub i would go again just to make sure verything is oke down under.milfhunter

After a conversation over many mojitos i received a text this morning from a great friend of mine. We have known each other for 35 years. We have walked the mountain range of life together. We've been there for each other in the dark valleys and the euphoric summits. Our mutual experiences of the sex, drugs and rock and roll of our existence have a certain mythology surrounding them.
His text said, "I thought you'd appreciate this link to an article reviewing the best mattresses for people who sleep on their side." The best fucking mattresses FFS.I appreciate it more than I ever expected.
- Beautiful.Nairn
- A true friendd_gitale
- That's nice and all, but as a side sleeper, what mattress????stoplying
