After recently being barely able to leave bed for eleven days, I was diagnosed with a slipped disk and given a nerve blocking painkiller with planned escalating tiers of treatment. You might consider seeing an orthopedic doctor?

You can buy various HMDs that essentially mount to your existing glasses (I bought and fiddled about with one during the lockdown) and attach to any computer that supports USB.

Do you think he’d give me a billion dollars if I asked?

I’m old, but I was homeschooled so not once was I hip.

In fact I’m pretty sure my actual physical hip is failing.

That makes sense, I guess. Thank you.

This might help determine whether or not they enjoy the company of a particular gender, but you couldn’t use this method to identify, for example, bisexuality. Unless you take group showers, I guess.

A relatable situation; when my kid can read a little better I mean to very enthusiastically introduce them to it.
