background - 48 m. I'd been carrying a decent amount of fitness from cycling until the pandemic when my life fell apart in several ways. (major illness, layoffs, housing insecurity) some things are worked out now and I'm trying to get back into a routine on the bike, jogging and light weights.

I'm out of shape. problem is that I'm starting to have minor injuries. insertional achilles tendonitis, TFCC issue every time I even think about yoga, etc, etc. so, I'm trying to stretch more, but at this point, I'm spending as much time stretching as I am working out, and it's already hard to carve out time for either.

So what are you all doing for stretching? specific targeted stretches? rotating routine? focusing on preventing specific injuries? I'm just trying to figure out a balance.

anyone had luck with this? If I try to use a torrented EZX, EZdrummer wants me to login to authorize. (or offline authorize, which is probably a better route)

Similarly , when I installed a cracked superior 3, superior3 doesn't show up in vsts AND then EZdrummer says no ezx's installed, even though they were there before. I think that might be more a changing default paths thing, but IDK

just curious others' experiences

It seems like in the past few months there have been 3-4 power outages in my area - as many as the previous 3 years. (i'm near 37 and 131st)

Anyone know what's up with these / cause?

I've got a dead 12T hgst drive sitting in my closet. at the time it croaked, it seemed like repair wasn't really an option. with prices climbing, I'm wondering if there's been any emergence of repair services. (I'm guessing not, but hell, you never know)

Maybe that's worded weird. I don't have a place I can play loud, but I want to get drum tracks into ableton, and midi rolls and hand drum interfaces just don't do it.

Really could get by with just kick, snare, hat and crash. need a brain with midi our or usb that can send midi. sensitivity needs to be pretty good. sounds don't need to be great, but one usable "rock" kit helps for monitoring.

In the past I had a roland TD-12kx that did this pretty well. a few years ago I got to try out some more modern sets, and the TD-11 seemed to get it done.

is there anything more affordable that would work?

I got one of these second hand, and it's really unclear what I have to do to upload data.

I have an omron blood pressure device that uploads data to the app with 0 intervention on my part after it's connected. the BCM-500 seems like it uploads sometimes and not others? Sometimes it seems like I have to push the bluetooth button everytime to upload, or push the set button while the user #1 flashes.

can anyone tell me how it's actually supposed to work?

I've got over 10 years in UX as a career, and did some basic development type coursework way back when, but all of my professional work has been really siloed. Learn about user problems, design something, throw it over the wall.. all of that air traffic controlled by a PM, PO or someone else.

I'm interested in participating in open source project, but I have no idea how to go about it or how the work ends up being different than the corp work I've experienced.

Can any one point me in a direction?

Just curious if folks could share numbers that they've encountered. I don't want to reach out to builders/manufacturers for quotes and end up on their spam lists.

I know this can vary greatly and is impacted by where you are in the country, but I'm just looking for ballpark lower limits.

Anyone have anything they can share?

I'm considering career change, but no matter what I put in the search, it gives me jobs based off of my list of jobs and skills. I understand why this is beneficial most of the time, but I'm purposely looking for something other than these jobs.

Anyone know a way to do this short of trying to create a second account?

I've been searching, assuming there's a calculator of somekind out there, but not finding it.. tried their belt drive assistant tool, and it does a lot of things, but doesn't tell me what 32T/17T converts to in gates sprocket/cog teeth, or what length belt I need.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

As title says.. most videos I have work fine. fisheye, 180, 360, etc.. I have a handful of older ones that stay in split screen when playing back in heresphere. Is there a setting to make them play correctly?

I've been on stimulants before - I was diagnosed ADHD back in the 2000s. It helped me get things done, but I eventually acclimated and at doses where it did anything, it's bad effects outweighed the good ones.

Now that I have an ASD Dx, I have a different perspective.. 1. that I've been in autistic burnout all of my adult life, and 2. that stimulants might actually help me unmask. I can't reign in the energy I have as much now, and I'm likely to say things that I mean and feel that I usually would mask away. For example, in therapy, I can tell my therapist now that I don't think she understands me, or that she's wrong, or not getting what I'm trying to say. In another example, today at work I had a video call with a new teammate. we said the things we needed to say, and there was like 20 minutes left. they were like "do you have more questions for me?" and I was like "nope. holler at me if you need anything" rather than trying to think of small talk.

This will probably get me into trouble eventually, but it seems kind of exciting to tell people I don't care about whatever it is they're trying to bother me with.

no questions or advice sought.. Just wanted to share this with you folks.

I don't know what it is, but I can't deal with it. I can drink most other things other than plain water. I have problems with hydration, so I'm always trying to solve it. I've been drinking green tea. I make a 2l kettle in the morning and drink it all day.. but it's causing my teeth to hurt for a day after, regardless of whether I drink it hot or cold or in between. So I'm back to the drawing board.

My openclaw has been shitting the bed everytime I try to update to current stable release. I pull a backup, give it the logs, tell it something went wrong, and it does it again.

It's initial thought was that it was something to do with plugin versions being out of sync with the harness, but there seems to be a bigger problem with the provider naming.

I just pulled another backup, and this time the known-good backup is throwing:

>Agent failed before reply: OAuth token refresh failed for openai-codex: OpenAI Codex token refresh failed (401): { "error": {"message": "Your refresh token has already been used to generate a new access token. Please try signing in again.", "type": "invalid_request_error", "param": null, "code": "refresh_token_reused"} }. Please try again or re-authenticate.

Seems like something strange is afoot at the circle K. Can anyone tell me what's going on and if there's a fix?

There was a sign about a liquor license, and now there are big tanks. Gas station? With booze?

I'm completely burnt out at work, and been laid off enough times that I'm pretty much constantly worried I wont be able to pay the mortgage. (I make good money, but jobs in my field are getting scarce and any other job I could get cold would be at least a 50% pay cut) On top of that I realized how much I'd still owe on the mortgage after retirement... woof.

So I'm thinking about selling my place and getting a trailer or junky house in a rural suburb, or some other low CoL place that can be bought outright or paid off in less than a dozen years. (I'm fortunate to be able to work remote right now) and then the next time work is stupid, I'd be safe enough to tell them where to go, and go do something else.

Anyone done this? anyone want to talk me down? haha.

I searched through and didn't see anything specifically about burritos. Who has your favorite? Bonus points if anyone knows of a restaurant that actually cooks the carne asada on a grill and not a flat-top.

I've been running into this for the past couple of weeks - can't remember what ver I was on when it started but on 2026.5.12 right now and still experiencing it. I started seeing it when I switched to openrouter as my primary provider. seemed to do it off and on regardless of model. I initially thought it was some nuance of the provider/model, but I just did a nuke and reinstall of my openclaw box with codex as my provider, and it's still doing it, which makes me wonder if it's something in gateway being weird.

It's not _every_ time, but it's almost everytime.

Here's an example:
User: whoa, take the smoketest script out of heartbeat. we'll only run it when I ask you to.

Bot: Fixed. HEARTBEAT.md is back to comments only. The smoke test remains available for manual runs, and I noted that it should only run when you ask.

Bot: Yep. I’ll remove the heartbeat trigger and leave the smoke script itself intact for manual runs only.

Bot: Fixed. HEARTBEAT.md is back to comments only. The smoke test stays available, but I won’t run it from heartbeat unless you explicitly ask.

A lot of times it seems like there's an initial acknowledgement of the prompt, but it usually comes after the task response.. and there are often multiple versions of the task response, one is way more verbose.

I asked the bot to diagnose (using GPT-5.5, because I don't really trust anything else for configuration/diag at this point) and it said:

Bot: "The repeat was probably me double-delivering: I used the message tool because the turn said “Delivery: to send a message, use the message tool,” then I also put the same/similar content in my normal final answer.

So you saw two versions: the visible channel message and the final response. Not a ClawMem/vector issue. Just me treating both output paths like they needed content. Little faceplant.

The fix is: for these webchat turns, if I send the real answer with message, the final should be minimal or just an internal closeout, not another full copy."

I asked it to do the fix, but this is still happening.

Anyone experienced/solved similar? am I missing something obvious?

The other sushi post reminded me to post this.. Just wanted to recommend Okaya. I think the strip-mall location led me to think there wasn't much worth going to over there.. (though I'll admit that cafe korea is great too. but thai kitchen.... haha)

Anyway, the place is great. It's got a cozy atmosphere, the people are nice, and the food is really good AND affordable. I used to be a sakura/one world market only person, but Okaya is def in the Sakura class as far as I'm concerned. And it's really close to home.
