My neck has been bothering me for quite some time – I have to pop it regularly, some times 5-6 times an hour (often when I'm driving), and it feels like I don't have the full range of motion I did a year ago. Most folks around me say I should go to a chiropractor, but I am completely disinterested in that. Is this the kind of condition I would see a physical therapist for? Would I likely need a referral from a GP?

Just go to your gp, you probably need a visit anyway. Do not go to a chiropractor.

Never go to a chiropractor for neck stuff, it's the easiest way to accidentally get killed by one (they're also not to be gone to for anything else, but when they do their stuff around your neck it can get very deadly very fast). Physical therapists are absolutely who you need to go to, if your regular doc hasn't been able to make any headway.

Your doctor will likely send you to a PT eventually, but it's good to see a doc first to make sure there's nothing seriously wrong. Chiropractors are snake oil salesmen of the modern age. They're one step above a masseuse, except a masseuse isn't loving with your spine.

Oh I'm well aware of what chiropractors are and represent – all of my family works in medicine and instilled a healthy distrust/disgust of them from an early age. Now that I have some measure of health insurance going to my GP is an option; thanks goons!

I just moved to a new apartment with washer/dryer hookups. Unfortunately, my dryer has a four-prong plug and the hookup has three prongs; since four is the modern standard, can I expect maintenance to replace the outlet for me if I ask? I obviously haven't had the chance yet to go talk to the people at the office. I know I can replace the plug on the dryer but would prefer not to.

Why do people keep the butter they want to spread on bread/toast inside the fridge where it gets too hard to spread on bread/toast in the first place? Assuming they live in the first world and not in some roach invested hellhole. Eta and it's not even artisinal butter or some poo poo. It store bought non name brand stuff.

There's reasons to keep butter in the fridge and reasons to not keep it in the fridge and sometimes you just want some butter on your toast even if you didn't think to soften it up.

My wife was horrified the first time she visited my parents house and found out we just left butter out next to the toaster. I was confused as to why you'd put it in the fridge (the one you're using anyway.) Didn't kill any of us so I guess it's fine.

My parents probably use a stick of butter in less than a week since they live in WV, but I've had it out for at least two weeks in a butter dish without any issues. My kitchen is kind of cool though.

Speaking only for myself here, but I don't mind room-temperature butter, I'm sure there's some marginal food poisoning risk, but I take the chance. But butter at at a stranger's house that's stored in tepid water of mystery age or origin - I'll just take my toast dry, thanks.

I only learned that a few years ago. Or they might have very determined pets. I bet a cat would go for the butter.

Ideally, butter should be refrigerated, just to lengthen shelf life, but it should be covered whether in the fridge or not. I leave most of the butter in the chiller and a smaller amount in a butter dish and when the butter dish is empty I cut another bit off the one in the fridge.

I keep unsalted butter on the counter for many days, sometimes like a month before it gets eaten. Sometimes it gets rancid but it's super obvious when that happens. I think we've had rancid butter like once in two years. We just wash the dish when it gets empty and it's no big deal.

It looks similar to Angkor Wat but is still all overgrown in the middle of the jungle. You might be thinking of the Preah Vihear Temple Complex? It's on the border between Cambodia and Thailand, both countries claim it and every now and then they cook off a few AK rounds at each other over it. The UN recently ruled that it belonged to Cambodia, but Thailand still claims it. You can get there from both sides, I went there from the Cambodian side in 2012 and there were definitely signs on the edge of the regular paths that warned of land mines. I don't know about huge though, it's probably a bit over half a mile from end to end.

Is there a way to (LibreOffice spreadsheet program) make a formula that scan the dates for weeks and assign how many changes were made each week of a month? I can't word it decently, so here's what I'm trying to do: I'm assigning dates to items put into the spreadsheet and would like it have a way to make a cell for each week of the month that would automatically say how many items were input in a particular week (obviously it would be best if it could be one cell with some kind of scrolling list, but I don't know if that's possible). I don't even know what to ask in Help menu, not to mention it crashes every time I try to use it, so that's not too helpful.

My whole life i grew up with butter out on the counter in a butter dish, and never had a problem. Living on my own still do it, and only once in ten years have i had a problem: it melted because it was really hot and i don't use air conditioning. My house goes thru a stick in maybe 2-3 weeks and I've never seen one go bad. I imagine the water filled butter bell would help prevent even the rare melting. I really don't get why people keep their active sick of butter in the fridge  but then again my french friend says the same thing about me keeping eggs in the fridge, guess we all have our own misconceptions about food safety.
