Lilo and Stitch!

Nope. Not normal sounding to me. Even your doctor says it's not normal if you think about it, he thinks it's early. As everyone else states, second opinion time.

Everything you listed, I get, but at a mere fraction, save for the swelling, nothing here. Beyond seeing another doctor for a second opinion, it sounds like you're physically fit, which is more troubling. I am kind of fit, and sometimes my back hurts. What makes it go away? Working out my core muscles in a regimen after a few weeks. Staying active.

I am 40 fwiw, and you sound far worse off than I feel. See another physician.

I work retail. People walk up to me like I'm a robot.

"Duck tape??" They just... Bark at me. I have gotten to the point that I refuse to tell them where something is until they treat me like a human being and ask a very simple question, "where's duck tape?"

As Kongar said, I agree, the new car is an suv. Which... Is by and large not great, but also what's an SUV now?

When I was a kid by parents had one of the original Nissan Pathfinders. The one with the spare wheel that swung away, definitely 4wd, and so forth. OJ Simpson ran from the cops in a white Bronco.

Those were SUVs. Today's monster Expeditions and Suburbans are SUVs.

At introduction, the Subaru Outback was a station wagon. Now... It's an SUV? I have a 2022. No, it's not small, but I have a kid and we use the trunk space and the awd all the time. Winter sucks here, and there are dirt roads. But to me it's a car. But on paper it's an SUV.

I am sure there's a real distinction, but... Next to a Tahoe or a Grand Cherokee it is absulotely not an SUV. It's a car with awd and a beefy-ish suspension.

No.

I am a good person with a capacity for kindness. The difference? It's not reflex.

Nice is the guy waving you through at a stop sign when it's their turn. Sure there's good intention, but seriously? No.

Guitar is the only hobby I acquired that never took. I wanted it to take, but did not have the funds to pursue lessons.

I could not get over the beginner hurdles of how to strum, how to really hold the pick, and so forth. If I could have taken lessons or gotten past that I might have learned and still be playing today instead of seeing the case just sitting there collecting dust.

On the anti-bird spikes. In the one small place I put them so that a nest wouldn't be right at my door and mama bird would try to attack my toddler. Seriously, no spikes a few feet away, you'll be fine. Nope. I know it's instinct or something to nest in a certain place each time, but come on.

My skin doesn't dry as easily. I no longer feel the need to lotion my hands all the time. Obviously, I drink water during the day but this was the change that started that.

Everything just felt healthier. I woke up more easily for my 6am start at work.

Before I started doing that, it sometimes felt like staying hydrated was constant catching up. Now, it's more just maintaining.

First thing in the morning I chug a tall glass of water. Somehow that's actually made a healthy difference.

So I am completely out of the loop but intrigued. Beyond reading the about tab, which I have, what sets KaOS apart from another Linux distro running Plasma? Thanks.

Affiliated means close formal or informal association. I think 1% of funding and no government appointed people really doesn't rise to that standard.
