It's been a bit since your answer, but I thought you might get a chuckle (or at least an eye roll) from my eventual discovery.

I'm short. 5'2". As it turns out, losing 15 lbs was enough to change what it means to fully extend my left leg. After realizing my issue and moving the seat up by one click, I've not had the symptom repeat since (2 weeks).

While I'm not enthused about having to sit so close to my steering wheel, I'm overjoyed that this was user error.

Thanks for taking time to share your knowledge!

The article said it had a source linking the two events, then has a post-publication addendum that Roku denies any connection.

I agree with you that the timing is suspect.

Roku may dispute that the breach and the TOS change are related, but the timing is certainly suspect.

Heya, friend. I identified strongly with your inner monologue, if not from the same cause. I'm peri menopausal. I hope it brings you a bit of comfort to hear that many other women are having the same thoughts and feelings.

If I can share what's helped me: I went back to a strategy I learned in my adolescent years... Sometimes confidence breeds confidence. I do my best to practice it until it becomes internalized and "exuded."

As you move through your journey, know some old lady in Baltimore is rooting for you.

I will give this a try! Maybe thin out the pesto with citrus or balsamic. Thanks for weighing in!

I've tried adding crushed red pepper for the heat, but it doesn't change the salt balance issue.

Me and my ex husband use "teh sex" (sic) to mean something is beautiful and designed exceptionally well.

You've uncovered it! THANK YOU!!!

This is a possibility, although the descriptions I can find are pretty limited. One mentions that the protagonist is a mall-rat. Any guess on when the book is set?

Edit: This was written in 96, which would have been too late. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Good questions! I think it was short by today's YA standards - - maybe 200 pages. Definitely not a collection, just a short novel. It was more a historical fiction.

Thanks for the suggestion! Based upon the Wikipedia description I don't think this is it, but I'll read it to be sure.

I watched this over my Thanksgiving break and am so in love. There are so many themes and ideas to dissect. I wish I could find a viewing party or discussion group about it. That's how I found your post.

I'm no great thinker, but I'd love to hear others thoughts on what I see this series positing. Are there always bigger predators? When can you trust your understanding? What does survival look like, and how do you know you have achieved it? What really drives us, biology or intelligence?

All the seriously messed up stuff aside, this line made me giggle.

Some inside the White House called McEntee’s staff “the Rockettes and the Dungeons and Dragons Group.”

I work in with traumatized teens. There are times where they need to be isolated from their peers, but I agree that solitary is not therapeutic. Research and experience easily demonstrate that.

The reality is, though, that these systems are so underfunded and understaffed that these detrimental tactics are the only viable option.

I'm not defending the practice. I would never work in a system that uses solitary confinement with adolescents, but I have the luxury of choice.

"I call Rule 34 on Wolfram's Rule 34."

It should be a Rule to include the hover text.

I'm really not sure how I posted here, but I'm grateful for your answer. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Trying to post an image

I'm on lemm.ee, but I can see your image. When I try to upload an image, I get a spinning circle as if it is loading, but then nothing posts.

Thanks for letting me know. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, and no idea how to fix it. Could it be my instance? My app (liftoff)?
