This is what I do. I got a flushing ear thing specifically with the nozzle for ears on Amazon for like 10 bucks and it’s a game changer. I gotta do it yearly.

This is the best measure (preventative). Carb heavy lunches will wreck you. Save the carbs for after work, fall asleep on the couch watching TV, then wake up with a sore back.
I used to work at a credit union in IT. I can confirm financial institution laziness knows no bounds. Separate from their laziness is the vendor compatibility. I can’t count how many vendors do not update their software to run on modern browsers and relied on specific IE instances. Adding to all that is just the institution itself having decades old hardware and software because modernizing things can be incredibly expensive. The core my company used was incredibly outdated Unix and required a ton of different middleware just to make sure we were compliant where absolutely necessary. If it wasn’t necessary nothing got done. And that’s better than a lot of banks that could be running on some COBOL based core. Completely redoing the core will affect every middleware crap solution they’ve patchworked together to keep running over the past few decades and will be insanely resource, cost, and time intensive.
Even these days at my current company I run into this shit. Huntington bank requiring IE for check processing, or SAGE DB software requiring 2013 Access or else it won’t work. These are huge companies still utilizing outdated piles of garbage.
I’m a little confused and not knowledgeable on this at all so I’m genuinely curious: if inflation goes crazy for years, like 8% for 4 years let’s say, why is there no concerted effort to drop it for a while, like -5% for 4 years, to “bring it back” to the 2% aimed for originally? If that makes sense. It seems like if inflation gets insane we’re all just stuck with it for the rest of time?
I hate how the American polarization of political, social and economic spectrums is contaging other parts of the world
You claim to be a critical thinker but somehow think Americans invented & propagate polarizing beliefs? In what world are you living that Europeans were bereft of polarizing viewpoints before American politics somehow tainted them?
left leaning on social issues, right leaning on economics
One can be, but that doesn’t mean one can’t also be mocked for such child-like views of politics. If your beliefs are so paper thin that a few downvotes on Lemmy cause you to throw a tantrum about “save Europe from American politics!”, I really question whether or not you have ANY critical thinking ability.
It’s also ridiculous to say you’re fiscally right and socially left. Social issues are inherently economic. You cannot cherry pick ideals from vastly opposing viewpoints and say that is your stance without reconciling the friction that opposition creates. Not even acknowledging it is the least amount of critical thinking I can think of.
It’s either you are fascist republican or communist democrat…
No one called you a fascist in this thread so that disproves “it’s either or”, are you dredging up some past experience? Why are you dealing in such absolutes? Again I don’t think someone who “thinks critically” would say that “both sides” are always one thing or another. Just sounds like you have a lot to learn about yourself and the world.
Not the person you responded to but you can turn any shoe into this. Lock laces. Instead of tying my shoes daily you can slip them on and off and they always stay exactly perfect. I adjust them mayyybe once a year. They’re like 10 bucks and make my shoes feel amazing.
