Elmnt80 posted:I don't get this. I'm around 5' 8" 375lbs and can squeeze myself into a regular car type recaro seats (sport seats in a series 2 rx8 and whatever the option was on the brz) and be comfortable for an couple hours before it pinches my hips too much. Hell, I stopped by the local mazda dealership to see if I could fit in a new miata. I fit side to side well enough, but somehow I'm ~3 inches too tall (or my rear end is too big and pushes me taller). Granted, I didn't try adjusting the seat. I physically fit in them, and could do short distances or a race or something. It's not the fat part that hurts, it's the fact that they legit dig the gently caress in at my hips, and my shoulders have no freedom to move. I've fit in other Recaros just fine, but for some reason the FiST and FoST seats are misery. One of my friends is 6'4 and maybe 165, and he has the same complaint out of them.

IOwnCalculus posted:I mean parts to replace the whole heater, not repair it. My original plan was to shotgun two new elements and a thermostat at it for $45ish but as soon as I got the upper cover off I saw a trail of rusty water. The tank was done. Ours in CA was in the laundry room and was a pain in the loving dick. And the unit itself was a piece of poo poo with tons of recalls, so every 3 months or so you had to put a new burner and everything in it.

Edit:^^^you could probably say the same about our escape...but after pulling a 3500lb trailer literally from coast to coast, twice, I can't bitch about it. poo poo, it even pulled our dakota to the dirt track once. Went and looked at that dog yesterday. Should pick her up in about 3 weeks and I'm so excited. 1.5 year old walker coonhound. She was rehomed once, because the family had a baby and she knocked it over once. So this guy got it, but he's in stage 4 renal failure and his wife has leukemia. So he just wants her to go to a good home. Poor pup is so goddamn loveable and sweet natured.

Edit: ^^poo poo, I was in the military and I agree 100% with his statement. But at the same time, ACAB until there are some big loving changes. Days like today I really wish I could code, because goddamn I could fix some simple rear end issues. One department uses a timesheet that populates an access database. The issue is the guy that created it 18 months ago is no longer here, and he created it as a .xsn file. Which means as soon as the systems updated to office 16, we lost functionality for that format. So now time sheets are having to be emailed, and the data entered manually into the database, until I can find a better solution. gently caress.

It's not an insult to your sister, but it is a legit gripe about chiropractors. It's not science, or even definitively proven to be useful. At being most generous, it doesn't actively harm people. At worst it's a scam used to bilk people out of money for what amounts to a physical sugar pill and sometimes kill them. gently caress me man now you got me agreeing with CT, who is quite literally the old man who yells at clouds.

Darchangel posted:I don't know how to say anything that doesn't sound like "not all men", but my sis doesn't typically spend $100K and 4 years getting a doctorate for something that's bullshit. As I said, she fixes spinal and joint issues, not curing diseases and other quackery, so I don't know what to tell you about your bad experiences with chiropractors other than "don't go to bad doctors." But...they aren't doctors. In any sense of the word, unless you're also including a witch doctor or naturopath in the same vein. The whole thing was literally founded by a dude who practiced healing with magnets, then made a magical claim that was never backed up, and then his son ran him over to try and steal it. Yes there are ones, like your sister, that are good people who are trying to help. But as a whole it IS quackery that isn't medicine, and they aren't doctors. Lower back pain is about the only thing that they've shown a legit response for, and even that is in such a small population of the test groups that it's basically background noise. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/reference/chiropractic/

InitialDave posted:Yeah, but people with a Phd are doctors. Dr is their title. It should be used in place of Mr/Mrs/Miss, and I would use it as such, just as I would not refer to a surgeon by that title. I'm not calling anyone doctor outside of a class unless they're an MD. Maybe it's a Britain/US thing with that. Here, if you have a PhD but aren't an actual medical doctor, asking to get called Dr outside of an academic environ is a quick way to be seen and known as a douche.
