Roto-zip could work well like the other poster said. If you don't have access to one, you can also use the abrasive sanding bits for the dremel, you may chew through a couple, but they work in a pinch.

Take the time to rest that group of muscles. Focus on lower body or other exercises that don't cause you pain or discomfort. The easiest way to have a chronic issue is by not letting it heal. You can always do light weight or body weight only once it starts to feel better to check on progress.

Its better to take a week off than do long term damage. I can't say what the issue is vecause I am not a Doctor and I'm not there in person, so take it with a grain of salt. You know your body and should make the call thats right for you.

In many states you have to present multiple forms of ID to get ID. Its a catch 22 in many places that disproportionately affects lower income people. If you lose your ID in Florida, depending on your residency status and whether the Tax Collector's office is enforcing rules, you may have to present birth certificate or a Social Security Card. To get a copy of your Social Security Card, you have to have a valid photo ID. Birth certificates require a permanent residence, access to online payment (bank account), and internet access to the right websites.

A lot of lower income people don't have mortgages, drive, see medical professionals regularly, etc. Part of that is because of the barriers to easily getting a replacement ID that exist.

I worked with these individuals for years, and the amount of burden that it put people under was immense. In just my location alone I helped hundreds of people each year navigate government systems to get ID and aid. Its laughable how hard it is for the people wbo need help to access the programs that are currently in place.

Isn't that the new dog-whistle term being used to disenfranchise younger voters and muddy the waters for democratic or liberal leaning politicians?

No offense, but that really isn't a great way to show you're a critical thinker.

This might not be super popular, but here goes nothing:

Not all opinions are equal. Just because time and space is given equally to different views doesn't mean one isn't right over the other. I encourage you to read and listen to people on both sides of a conflict or topic. Look up what they are talking about on a website or source that is impartial (Conservative media is not the best option for fact finding, but neither are 'tankie' style sources. Think research papers, news outlets outside of the area where the topic is most prevalent).

If a narrative or piece of media is using terminology to make one side seem completely evil or bad, chances are it may not be the most unbiased source. Terms like fascist, communist, nazi, terrorist, antifa, woke, BLM, etc. are used a lot as buzzwords to dehumanize and incite people to one side or the other (not always true, but good to look closer at the information presented). If a story makes it so you are the hero by denouncing something, disliking an idea/peple/person/belief, be cautious, chances are it is an emotional ploy to get you to side one way or the other despite factual evidence.

At the end of the day, it is up to each of us to act responsibly with what we put out into the world based on our opinions and understanding. Every single person involved in things like the Palestinian/Israeli conflict is a human being and is going through something much more complicated than most of us will ever have to experience personally. Treat people like people, show respect when due, and be sensitive to the chaos and pain someone might be living through. We need less hate in the world, not more.

I say all this to say, your ideas are currently full of animosity and hate. They are not valid and should rightly be removed from the discussion until you can communicate them more effectively and less emotionally. Intolerance cannot be tolerated if we want to have a better world for each and every one of us.

If you are visiting YT on mobile, ReVanced has been working perfectly for me on Android. I'm not sure if there is cross-platform support, but there are alternatives to traditional adblockers out there.

It looks like some of the kits have an attic insulation shield included in them. They seem to be included for chimneys being run through a roof/ceiling. Is that possibly it?

Fair enough, depending on where you are at, a flat bottomed style backpack may work well for you, something like: Cargo Style Backpack

You could try using a rectangular cooler. A lot of people I know who only carry a few discs will use them. They usually hold a few discs, a couple drinks, and maybe a couple other items. Some companies make minimalist bags, too. I think Upper Park has a few and there is a company that makes a bag called a NutSac.

Infinite Discs, Dynamic, and some of the other big companies also offer smaller casual round sized bags depending on the style you're looking for. A lot of them are very affordable.

 

What is everyones favorite disc purchase this year? I am really digging this Zone release myself. Show off your favorites or talk about discs that hit the sweet spot in your bag!
