I've started having issues recently, too. After a work injury, I finally saw my GP, who recommended Physical Therapy, which has basically just been a guided workout with some yoga moves worked in over the course of an hour.

It hasn't fixed my pain yet, but it's made it better, and my pain was explained in a way that makes sense (my shoulders and core weren't as strong as they should have been, placing undue burden on some of my backmuscles).

If you don't want to go to PT, I'd strongly recommend just slowly doing 10-15 minutes of simple stretching like what you might have done in Gym as a kid. Stretch to the point of mild discomfort, not pain, doing each stretch 3 tines for 10 seconds. It might be worth looking into some basic yoga poses that target your particular pains (or the ones that you want to target first).

I'll bet you'll notice good results after a week. If not, definitely go see your GP again.

Obligatory "I am not a doctor"

Because all the cool people are too busy homebrewing tabletop RPGs instead.

You definitely want a mid size case if you're going to move it around. I got a full size with my first build and while it is nice and roomy, it's never fun to move when needed.

The case you have in your list has your 2.5" SSD storage in the back and PSU under an aluminum bar at the bottom. Everything else will mostly likely be easily accessible, but if you ever need to do PSU/SSD changes, it won't be as easy as everything else.

Otherwise, I really like Corsair cases, they've never done me wrong.

I think they store the data about the files in a database, but the files are in a folder structure.

Doesn't make sense to have data that could be a few gigabytes in a database, or maybe that's just me.

As a kid I didn't understand hermits.

Now that I'm an adult, I'm jealous

I personally don't use Photoshop but was using it as an example. You could fill in the blank with other tools like AutoCAD, MS Office, QuickBooks/Quicken, etc.

I think there are two major hurdles keeping Linux adoption back (besides the obvious installation bit). The first is that our backwards compatibility is terrible. It is easier to get old versions of Windows software to run in Wine than it is to get some old Linux software to run natively.

If something like Photoshop did finally release a Linux version, even if they only did one release to make 2% of people happy, it likely wouldn't be able to run natively after 5 years.

The second is a good graphical toolkit. Yes, GTK and Qt exist, but neither are as simple as WinForms or SwiftUI/Aqua.

It tried, but it missed some good context

Eh, I'm gonna buy it the moment it comes out in the US because the movie is fucking fantastic, but you do you.

From the article:

there’s still no easy (or legal) way to watch it with English subtitles, and there’s been no updates on when it’ll come to streaming or physical in the US or elsewhere

Are you red-green colorblind?

Modern roads having subscription services aren't even new: we pay for our roads with gas tax, registration fees, parking fees, and congestion pricing... And it's still not enough, so we take from income and property tax to make up the difference.
