I bought one of those fancy Aeron chairs from a place that seems to clear out offices when they're being renovated. Was a $1000 chair that I got for about $200 and it was the former property of suncorp according to a sticker on the bottom. I figure they should last 10-15 years plus so if it's just a couple of years old I'll be good and I know that those big corporates don't hold on to that stuff for long anyway.

I want one of these and I regret not getting one last year when I got a new chair. Little did I know I'd be spending so much time in this uncomfortable one.

Some guy outside has been running a concrete saw all morning and at first I was kind of pissed off but then I looked out the window and he's obviously putting in a bollard so that arsehole with the huge 4WD can't park his huge arsehole 4WD on the disabled car park space anymore.

A recent study has found that COVID-19 is still evident in your eyes even after the virus has left your respiratory system.

Researchers made the discovery when looking at the first confirmed case in Italy.

The 65-year-old woman had flown from Wuhan, China to Italy on January 23.

Days later, she noticed symptoms of COVID-19, which included a dry cough, sore throat inflammation of the mucous membrane in the nose and conjunctivitis.
She was admitted to hospital and diagnosed with coronavirus the next day.

A few days later, her symptoms worsened, and she developed a fever and began vomiting.

Doctors took a swab sample from her eye and found evidence of the virus in her eyes.

"SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in ocular swabs days after it was undetectable in nasal swabs," researchers wrote in a report, published on April 17 in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

They found that ocular fluid from infected patients may contain the virus and could be a potential source of infection.
...
Researchers believe the infection may begin developing in a person's eyes before any physical symptoms begin to show, and measures should be implemented as early as possible to prevent transmission via the eyes.

man have you tried acupuncture? It’s weird but if you’re tight at all it can help. It made the (very big, i assure you) muscles in my back feel like they were deflating. Those small (for everyone else mine are huge) muscles beneath the shoulder blade were super tight and it’s impossible to get in there solo. One pin and my entire back felt like it melted.

He's had good results with proper physio.
You may have gotten relief from acupuncture for your problem, but there's very little data to support any real effect from acupuncture so recommending it to people with completely different issues is not useful

No doubt it’s a not as effective as Real Physio. I’m not wholeheartedly recommending I’m just shari f that it helped me out. It’s not like I get a cheque here. It just made my shoulder and back pain go from a 6 to a 2.

I haven't done acupuncture but my physio has done actual needling which is based more on bleeding your muscles to stimulate healing and not like, meridian lines. It helped a bit but what I really just need is a muscly dude poking me really hard and hurting me with the occasional chiro move, and then a serious yoga routine. The combination of those two seems to be the trick for me.

This dude today crunched me like a motherfucker, it was revelatory after months of being unable to go.

The trouble with Physios is it requires you, the patient to actually follow instructions and do the exercise whereas all the homeopathic crystal healing poo poo like acupuncture, chiropractic medicine and reflexology is just hocus pocus bullshit with some massage thrown in and makes people feel good - instant gratification.

but whatever works ya know.

I'll say that using chiro as a magical source to fix other weird ailments isn't a thing, but a trained and certified physio cracking your back free your ribs that are gripping to your spine is definitely something that works.

It's exactly this, physio programs can be difficult and long but give lasting results

Usually if acupuncture gives a positive result it's confirmation bias and the problem was not severe or structural and was getting better on its own. You do hear anecdotes of it changing lives though.

I've just finished a year long physio programs to repair achilles tendonitis, almost pain free and I'm running 70k a week so the weight program has conditioned the hell out of the tendon, even surgery doesn't work that we'll, it's quicker and easier though

My physio would massage me each session but I think it was just so I didn't feel ripped off paying a hundred bucks for a 5min chat and 10mins of watching me move around

The thing about physio, is that it hurts real bad and it totally sucks, but its really the only way to go if you want to fix longstanding problems after an injury or surgery. It really is awful though.

Does anyone remember a kids talking book (i.e. book on tape) series that had a B side with all weird zany children's songs?
The one we had was "The Magic Circus Mirror" and the songs I remember were "I Threw My Boomerang", "Fish and Chips", and for some reason it may have had a cover of "Silver and Gold"?!?
