Take the the interstates, pretty much every gas station along those exits will be built to accommodate your situation. I drive from Colorado to Wisconsin and back a couple times a year on I 80 and see a lot of similar setups to what you'll be doing. It'll be fine. You got this.

Too bad he didn't consider that an investment in his future and not just explicitly that show.

Does it matter what it was?

"stops the red wave"

Sounds like prophecy to me

What I recognized as "brain shocks" when I was taking generic escitalipram (Lexapro) would be a feeling sort of like a short circuit in my brain for a quick flash of a moment. Like another commenter said, quick movements of my eyes or head could cause it. It was quick, and non lingering, but could happen frequently. Just a little bzzt! In the brain with a little visual stutter. It didn't hurt but it was disconcerting until I realized it was normal when missing or cutting down doses. Sounds like it can happen for some people on the normal dose but that wasn't an issue for me.

Amazon customer service used to be amazing. Now it's clearly designed to frustrate you into giving up trying. Assholes.

Yes, in practicality, this is it.

I'll start by saying I agree with all your points. And I wasn't able to find info about the median height, but the average height of American men is actually 5'9. Which including women would bring it down quite a bit. That said, as a 5'7 shorty, I hate the small space in seats. Based on your post I'm guessing your height is around 6'2" (I must know if I'm close!), so you truly have my sympathy sitting in those sardine can aluminum tubes.

I can't say whether this is unpopular broadly, but it sure is unpopular with me.

Edited to: Disregard this comment. I didn't read the entirety of the situation and I don't have good advice for you as I haven't walked in your shoes.

To use an old cliché, "username checks out"

It's easy to believe you're invincible in your twenties. Or "later me can deal with it.". As that later version of me, I'm not a huge fan of that earlier version in a lot of ways. It's fine, I'm who I am for what I went through, and I'm righting the ship. But the more cans you kick down the road, the more you have to deal with later and the harder they are to deal with. Physically, mentally, financially. It's ok to try to live life freely, but definitely be aware of this and consider kicking one less can every chance you get.
