Yeah, if you mean laps etc it'll be when I can move up to more intense stuff. Right now I can basically sit and float around.

Right now the exercises I do feel like I'm doing nothing (until later, then I'm exhausted for days). It's frustrating because before all of this happened I was doing a lot of incline and strength training, which I can't do anymore. The exercises I'm able to do now basically amount to a few flutter-like moves and some shoulder work. Even that was too much this week so going to have to tell my trainer we have to pull back even further.

Unfortunately many of those "exercise people" this tweet is referring to do not take any disabilities into consideration. I can't tell you how many people have told me to just "go for a walk" when my disabilities require me to do specific exercises from a horizontal position. At some point I might be able to do slightly more intense recumbent stuff (very slow, low resistance cycling) but walking/running will unfortunately never be something that helps me. And don't get me started on the HIIT fad. I would die lol (not joking though)

As @[email protected] always says, OP delivers! Both comments are from the person smarter than all of us.

Two Facebook comments from a person confidently incorrect in defining prejudice and racism. The first comment reads, "I doubt you have read a dictionary in years." The second comment is simply a screenshot of the dictionary entry for "prejudice."

Sweet! Thank you

Yeah it's extra satisfying when I help out an unnecessarily large truck's owner lol (it's usually a man who thinks women don't know anything - like the guy who thought I should be informed to turn my car off before swapping a belt out...my hero! 🤠)

Ah yeah I only use the special fluids lol. I probably need to top it off soon anyway so I will just make sure the new one is correct.

Hey thanks for the rec! My car would probably do fine with the cheapest one, but was considering getting one rated for a larger engine in case I need to help someone out. Do you know if that would work?

[–] acetanilide 2 points 3 months ago

Definitely have these already! Although I might get a longer set so it's less of a PITA.

Thanks for the detailed response! Much appreciated. My wallet does not appreciate it though lol

[–] acetanilide 3 points 3 months ago

Lol! Didn't even think of that. Smarter not harder!

Thank you! I think our other car is FWD so we may be in luck.

Unfortunately nothing is set in stone yet. We really want Denver area but our finances aren't great so it could be somewhere else entirely.

I'm actually excited to buy a different ice scraper. The one I have is good but it's one of those double sided made for snow removal as well and that part... isn't great. It's a rectangular piece of styrofoam which would be fine except there's no way to lock it in place so it collapses when you use it.
