I would definitely suggest getting a good chair. Being able to adjust the height and stuff is really important, especiallyfor shoulder pain. Take a look at used gaming chairs and/or keep an eye out for recently discontinued models at brick-and-mortar office supply stores (mine was super cheap because they only had the floor model left).

I hope the new keyboard and mouse do the trick! I also was experiencing wrist/arm/shoulder pain after I started working primarily on a laptop. I got a split keyboard that i can angle in a more ergonomic manner, and that single change cleared my pain up. Repetitive stress injuries suck. and I hope you find relief with your new work setup.

My money is on the cinnamon powder. Lead is kinda sweet, pretty common and quite heavy (and thus pretty cheaper per unit weight), and can make colorful pigments… if it wasn’t for the toxicity, it could have made quite the versatile food additive. It wouldn’t be the first time high levels of lead were found in dried spices/herbs; in fact, it’s unsettlingly common.

Try F1 instead of F12. It should be under Setup -> Boot, and then just make your USB the first entry, save, and exit. And just so we’re covering all bases, the usb should be plugged in before you reboot into the bios settings and it may be under a name that doesn’t say “usb” anywhere (for example, the name of my usb in the bios settings contains the manufacturer and size in GB in addition to some other nonsense that i think is a model number).

One of my favorite steam deck features is being able to use gyro controls for any game. It’s not always as smooth as the Switch, but it works pretty well to add a bit of additional fine-grained control to the course-grained control of the R-stick.

i do this; i just have so much to say, and there are only so many conjugations and commas you can get away with – without it becoming a run-on sentence (i may have a run-on mind).

The wet bulb temperature is a type of measurement, not a particular temperature cutoff.

While most of the temperature readings we normally encounter are “dry bulb” measurements (the thermometer is measuring the air temperature), the wet bulb temperature is measured by wrapping the thermometer in a damp cloth. If it is hot and dry, you will get a lower wet bulb reading than if it is hot and humid due to evaporative cooling happening more effectively when the air is dry. This can give us a more physiologically relevant temperature measure, since the human body also uses evaporative cooling, aka sweating.

There is still some debate on what the lower bound of the wet bulb danger zone is, how this number changes depending on regional factors (physiology is complicated, and humid vs dry heat is not the full story), the “standard” levels of activity to use when providing guidance, etc.
