The UPPP sucked more recovery-wise in my case, turns out I'm down 4 lbs after 1.5 weeks resting. The instructions said the throat pain would intensify over the first week but it didn't seem to get much worse for me, just bad for a few days and then slowly got better. Whether it fixes up my snoring/sleep apnea remains to be seen. Hoping it does but we will see. This would have more impact on my SO's sleep, but I do have a CPAP so I could make do with that.

the septum correction/turbinate reduction has made all the difference so far with not much pain, but I suspect I got lucky pain-wise. If I had to choose, it would be this one every day of the week.

Sounds right, it's just an all-or-nothing gambit or both you and the major party you align with would lose big.

You'll have to appeal to the masses, get them willing to vote since voter turnout is not good, get awareness and enough energy to convince people to gamble on a vote for your third party since if each only get half of all voters on "their" side, the opposition wins. All while fighting the established party and all the funds, big names, etc. that empower it.

Heck, the US Democratic party has seemingly been willing to lose democracy than allow any progressive candidates to rise in the party.

thanks!

I’m still recovering from that (plus a UPPP) - the post-op instructions for the nasal operations spoke of potential splints and other packing to be dealt with at a post-op appointment but I didn’t have any of that and recovery was 1.5 weeks (just passed) of no exercise, bending over, lifting objects above 20ish lb and minimal sneezing, no blowing nose, plenty of rest but I was able to function after a weekend on my butt. (surgery friday AM)

Bloody and later clear drainage for the first couple/few days, nasal rinses (that Neil Med saline packets and bottle) for cleaning.

The UPPP was included for sleep apnea/snoring and recovery is longer, I was on a soft, lukewarm/cool/cold diet for several days and I’m mostly back to normal but no spicy foods and a hint of pain still.

The pain when swallowing from this one was the worst of it in the first several days - my nose seems to have gotten away without much pain or disruption at all since it was clear virtually all the time post op but the directions indicated it likely would be blocked. Hydrocodone was prescribed but I only used it a little bit and got by with tylenol (the infant kind because syrup instead of pill and it happened to be at Costco)

The tough part was remembering to stay hydrated. I found a wedge pillow helped with drainage.

I was more reluctant for the UPPP but insurance dictated it and not a lighter-touch procedure. no complications on any of them thus far but it’s too recent to call final results.

I said night and day difference especially laying down, but doc says as swelling goes away there’s more improvement to be had!

first-past-the-post voting is the most common system in the States (and most prominent in presidential elections) which generally means additional parties rising to prominence will almost assuredly split the vote with the closest party so a new worker’s party will have to magically eclipse and obliterate the Democratic party overnight or they will both lose to the Republicans indefinitely.

I just got surgery to tackle my deviated septum in one nose and an enlarged turbinate in the other. Night and day difference!

or alternatively, “Work at anduril.com? Don’t”

It's a very real belief, lot of folks here weren't around to know the "before times" and nothing is ever real until it happens to them.

Don’t worry all, the FAQ has reassured me that you can still use offline features like… checking the battery level!

Oh no, I don't think it would be able to pull from iCloud directly, I believe there is an option to delete uploaded photos on the iOS device after uploading in the Nextcloud app but I don't know if that is automatic or requires the user to acknowledge a prompt unfortunately.

This isn't necessarily a 1:1 answer for you but it's just what I have experience with: I used Nextcloud for a period of time and set up the app to upload which worked like any basic cloud storage service but what I've done since (I downsized) is just use the PhotoSync app and it's companion on my PC. You can target a PC (like I do), WebDAV, FTP, SMB, etc. which may help with scalability.

bad news, Proton’s official reddit account doubled-down on it as a company position (edit: but it was also him too)

The important part is that she is non-technical, not that she’s a woman.

 

It's time for another fire-risk recall from the Korean duo! Yet another problem for their infamous decade of vehicles '10-'19 roughly. Skipping immobilizers, undersized wiring (fire), leaking brake fluid (fire), garbage GDI 4-cyl engines (fire), leaking high pressure fuel pumps (fire), trailer wiring defects (fire) and more just weren't enough. Now another brake fluid leak in the braking system can cause another short and cause a fire.

The "fix" is a fuse replacement. It doesn't fix the actual leak so it's a band-aid at best. But also par for the course for the duo.

 

Oof.

 

Nothing new for a bargain-bin Leaf however, but a quick read.

 

Maybe this one won't need reduction gearbox oil changes.
