Moisturize me!

You should probably give your kids at least one room rather than rolling them up in a box.

Not about this problem in particular, but when faced with dangerous and/or aggressive drivers, my mother always said “get out of their way and let them have their accident somewhere else.”

such as broken or even lost limbs

When I broke my ankle, I thoroughly shattered it then tried to set it myself and stand - twice - before realizing it was broken. Point being, it was in bad shape. After realizing what had happened, I called my wife who came out to help me while waiting for the EMT’s.

I remember her at one point, in a very comforting manner, saying “It’s hard to believe you can even recover from this kind of injury.”

(To be fair, I guess she was the best kind of correct. It still plagues me to this day.)

I disagree with this statement. My kid, age five, has not asked this about money; but they have asked about, for example, characters on a screen. If you’re asserting that they wouldn’t ask because it’s something they’ve physically touched, I see your point, but my kid has (when much younger) asked similar things about, for example, figurines they’ve held.

I will say, for my kid in particular, that it’s more likely they would ask questions like “what does a dollar mean” or “does someone make decisions about the money” or even “what is money,” but the “real or pretend” question is plausible IMHO.

Thank you for the details, much appreciated. I extrapolated from the other response - more or less, as you said - but you provided plenty I couldn’t have guessed.

Ah, I think I understand. Thank you.

So you’re saying that some 'verses have VT-x/AMD-V enabled and others don’t?

How does the signal factor in?

I’m afraid to ask what that is.

I’m not sure whether TV Tropes warnings are expected here but, in case they are, you know, fair warning.

Well, gratz on winning first prize!

At first glance, I thought he was on the phone.

I don’t know where you’ve been, lad, but I see you’ve won first prize.

Hopefully he wasn’t the driver on those trips!

Greatly improved.

I don’t remember the details of every instance, but it’s worth noting that according to my doctors, the more times you dislocate your shoulder the more likely you are to do so again.

The first time was playing volleyball. I went for the ball (got it, too!) then kept going until I slammed into a pole. I think the second one was also volleyball.

Other times in no particular order included:

• Throwing a football
• Attempting to spank my then-girlfriend
• Turning over in bed
• Walking into a corner when attempting to enter a hallway

The one from which I learned of my nickname was, in essence, roughhousing with a co-worker.

I was joking earlier about why I might have had a long period without dislocation, of course. Most likely the reason is that I learned what movements I couldn’t safely make with my arm; I learned how to tighten up the muscles all around my shoulder and chest when using that arm in certain or particularly strenuous ways; and I got lucky and less reckless.

It’s been well over a decade since the last time it happened and I hope it never happens again, because it sucks. These days my shoulder is mostly okay so long as I don’t push it.

I have since solo racked servers above my head. That was hard and uncomfortable but I didn’t get hurt. That was about when I started realizing what movements I should avoid.

Throughout my years, I have dislocated my shoulder fourteen times so far. I was a frequent visitor to the ER and eventually found out they nicknamed me “shoulder guy.” (Especially back then, when I was hurt or nervous or on painkillers, I get chatty. I guess I made an impression.)

After the visit where I found that out, it was years before I dislocated my shoulder again and by that point I’d moved and so went to a different hospital. Perhaps I was subconsciously so mortified that I avoided it for that reason.

I don’t know about iOS, but on Android you can make a widget on your home page and set it to go directly to a setting of your choice. I did this for location.

I enjoy it even more! I’m sorry you don’t get to anymore.
