If it gives you an idea of how I am, I can play it takes two and trine and I cannot play overcooked.

I love split fiction (even if we are currently stuck), and really enjoyed it takes two. Do you know of other co-op games that can support a serious gamer and someone who is terrible at gaming (I’m the one who is terrible at gaming)?

I have had a crow visiting my balcony. I heard that cat food is somewhat more balanced that just peanuts, and since I have cats it was an easy switch. Are there other things I could offer to make visits more likely while not giving it avian diabetes?

It’s definitely a mix. I’m not a stylish person, but I find I get the most compliments when I’m wearing things I love.

“Refers to the piece of fabric rather than the zipper itself”?

Codeword/phrase

I have a bit of dyslexia/dyscalculia so writing numbers from step to step often results in errors. I also had a bad teacher in 6th and 7th grade so I ended up with a lot of stress/shame which means I have a pretty significant gap in my understanding of concepts that has carried through every step of math since then.

I just saw someone with an all I and a 1 plate. I mentioned the xkcd to my wife, but glat to have the reference handy now.

I partner dance and I joke that I’m graceful as long as I have on dance shoes. Off the dance floor I’m always bumping into things, knocking stuff over, just generally klutzy seeming. On the dance floor I’m able to navigate the crowd and prevent collisions.

I’m not quite 40. Last year I fell off a step and pretty significantly sprained my ankle. The instability and initial pain came down in about two weeks. However I was having a nagging/niggling pain for about a year. I finally got a referral for PT and that resolved it.

I don’t think this is the one I remember, but it’s real close and real satisfying.

I’m pretty certain that Budget Bytes taught me how to cook while I was in college.

This is your own thing, so I guess you do you, but you can certainly branch out and make delicious food with more ingredients. No take out doesn’t have to be beans and grains only?

I have a friend who does temporary shelter for animals of people leaving abusive situations. It’s a very cool organization she’s part of and I kind of wish there was one around me. That said, I have too many pets as is to foster more.

I highly doubt it actually costs anywhere near $10k to make such a bed.

What I’m saying is that adaptive furniture is likely a registered class II medical device which goes through FDA approval. So the bed isn’t 10K, but (a portion) the FDA registration is. The consequences of failing to register something that qualifies as medical devices are 1) fines 2) payments to anyone harmed and/or 3) time in federal prison.

Sure you could easily “disrupt” the market, but the market could easily disrupt the rest of your life.

restraints/locks/alarms for things that a cognitively impaired person might need, such as if they get up in the middle of the night

Restraints are 100% a medical device and I would highly doubt you would either be allowed to purchase or be reimbursed for one that’s not approved.

Edited to add: https://www.registrarcorp.com/blog/medical-devices/medical-device-registration/fda-class-ii-medical-devices/ A quick explainer (marketing from a business that helps companies register devices) since the FDA website is … not super clear nor helpful.

When my wife was in university and had weird down times she would do Amazon MTurk. It was pre-pandemic, so I don’t know how things are now, but I think she was regularly getting $200-400 a month (covered her car payment).

(In the US) If you make a medical device paid for by Medicaid, you have to have FDA approval. Which honestly, now may be the time to try and get it?

I also vaguely remember this.

Burn out takes up to two years to recover from, so a few weeks is really not enough to recover.

Consider watching this video (or don’t, it did make me cry when I was needing to leave patient care).
