Andy Galpin has some interesting suggestions to reduce DOMS.

1. 5-10 minutes of deep breathing after your workout. He says it’s very important to bring your body back to baseline after a tough workout. Spending a few minutes doing 5 second inhale, 5 second exhales will help.

2. Compression clothing. Wearing tight fitting clothing on the affected muscles is shown to reduce soreness or limit the duration of DOMS. Not a panacea but can help a little.

3. Believe it or not, static stretching a sore muscle can actually exacerbate DOMS. It’s better to do very light exercise to get that muscle moving and circulating blood flow instead. Stretching is important, but maybe do it immediately after a workout or on another day instead.

I still get DOMS when I try a new workout, but I have seen these things improve my recovery around the margins.

I hope he has success. He was great under Vic Fangio his first year or 2, then fell off a cliff and was hot garbage for the rest.

Bob Newhart, everybody!

What? No! With my last ounce of strength, I sucked out my gold fillings and swallowed them.

This appears to be related to the same Snowflake breach that compromised Ticketmaster. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear about more companies impacted by this.

Agreed, but living through the 2016 years, I did see how a groundswell of public opinion can sway the priorities of congress. It just takes a lot of people pushing.

The president absolutely should be beating the drum on these things. But I guess I’m focused on the levers that we as citizens can pull to avoid that feeling of powerlessness.

Agreed. However swapping 2 judges makes it a 5-4 liberal majority. Like you said, that’s only a start but would have huge ramifications.

These ProPublica reports need to be shared almost as much as project 2025. It’s horrible blatant corruption that needs a light shone on it. And the message is clear, another 4 years of Donald Trump could land us up to 3 more justices just like this. We’d be digging a hole we’d be stuck in for the next 40 years.

This also begs the question of what do we do about Thomas? Unfortunately with a republican majority in congress, they’d have to see him as so toxic to their election that they’d have to make the choice to remove him (less than 0% chance). That leaves us with only one option: vote vote vote! This isn’t just a Trump Biden election. This is for the ability to hold people accountable using congress and the senate too.

And let’s say we see a blue wave and we have enough to begin impeachment process against Thomas and/or Alito. Our job isn’t done then either. We need to raise hell with our representatives in government to make sure they know that it’s unacceptable to have such blatant corruption in our courts and that holding them accountable should be one of the highest priorities. That’s the only way (within our system) to start making change happen. It’s slow and frustrating at times, and it requires a constant commitment, but it still is possible when our reps feel enough pressure.

Hey babe wake up, new Shrek announced.

This is one of the most annoying (dangerous in this case) trends of the AI rush. It has potential for incredible value, but that only depends on the people instituting it and the structures they have in place to ensure it’s successful.

I could see a world where the algorithm could receive input on the patients condition each day and modify its recommendations on that; like a Bayesian inference model. But that requires a statistician with some careful thought to set it all up, and executives wouldn’t be able to reduce headcount by several dozen because some guy sold them a black box that solves all their problems.

What about the cloud engineer job do you dislike the most? I’ve been in the field for 7-8 years now and still find a lot of joy. Granted, the most frustrating parts of my job is lack of influence I have over the decisions that get made, but I moved to a team lead position to at least have a little say.

Wouldn’t that be funny if he just ditches his son now.

Every time he put a quarter in something I chuckled. Except nowadays it would all be subscription based with forced auto renew.

Once you can lift over 100, you reach enlightenment and never miss the hole.

This was created by a bot, who got it from a Reddit post that was also created by a bot. So I don’t really know who I’m trying to respond to here…

But people, have some self reflection here. If anyone is so paranoid about toxicity that they feel the need to make a guide like this, then the toxic one may be them.

People are people. Everyone probably displays hints of these traits at times depending on how their day was, or something that’s been hiding beneath the surface. But it’s more nuanced and I can’t say I’ve ever met a single (consequential) person in my life that I would define by any of these categories.
