New Remarkable user! I got the paper pure a week ago and I’m really enjoying integrating into my work flow. Only drawback I’m finding is low light situations - like rainy mornings like today in bed when I wake up, want to journal and don’t want to turn bedside lamp on.

Any recommendations for clip on lights or similar solutions?

I’m in the UK.

If an item is labelled low stock, how do you know if it will be reprinted or not? Is it just a given that it will if it's not 'last chance'?

Anyone had occasion to buy a wheelchair for themselves or a relative? We’re looking to get one for my mother to take on holiday with us.

She’s mobile short distances with a stick but for any further, we’d use the wheelchair. Just looking a manual one, as lightweight but robust as possible.

Any idea where to look or recommendations? Google tells me there’s a place on Boucher. Any good?

I'm curious as to why this book (the middle book of the trilogy) is last chance 56 copies when the other two (1 and 3) are >200 copies left. Just got the email. What do you think? Did they print less of book 2?

Unless it's to sucker people who've been vaguely considering the whole trilogy into pulling the trigger and buying it. Just in case.

Like me. That sucker is me. I just bought the trilogy.

Traditionally I skip the episodes after it becomes clear who is going to win because they’re so boring (although the one where the couple had to stand waist deep in a pool with rose petals was funny… 🤣

However this year… we know Lorenzo and Julia are making it to the final. I can’t stand Julia so it’s going to be a bit painful watching her rhapsodize about their wonderful connection and how she’s found the one for her while making faces at the screen and mouthing, “Call me L’Oreal…!”

But then the camera will pan to Lorenzo who will look vaguely uncomfortable, say something about her having pretty hair, and that he’s been with her longer than any of his other couples and could she possibly pour him another glass of champagne while he rings Aidan and Priya real quick to see how their date is going…

Now that will be iconic!

After the Fitbit/Google integration, I'm thinking of making the jump to Garmin - a Venu 3S or 4 probably.

I was wondering if any nurses/doctors could comment on how the step counter performs when the watch is in your pocket? I work in a hospital so for most of the day that's where it will be. I used to use the Fitbit as a clip-on.

Thanks.

Most people on here and IRL seem to write them off as boring at the least, strategic and off-putting at worst.

I’ve seen people mention that the FB mums “probably” love them. I’m not on FB so I don’t know. Is that true?

Is there anyone here that can say Sean is their favourite boy and Lola their favourite girl?

Just realised - Howard got his masters from MIT. Which means his mother let him move across the country for at least one or two years… Who cut his food up for him? 🤣 Maybe she went with him.

Guys, the situation with Karley sounds absolutely unfortunate (and I hope there are bigger/better things out there for her) but as someone who was new to DCC with AS and went on to watch seasons of MTT from there -

- I didn’t know who Karley was. Apart from this Reddit group, people aren’t having this reaction about her being cut. K and J have explicitly said that being a vet doesn’t keep you safe and there were other vets cut in other seasons. That’s what the majority of people are going to say.

- I don’t see how Karley is going to be able to prove she got cut because she “raised concerns”. We don’t know what those were. We don’t know who if anyone supported her in the team itself in the raising of them.

- Nobody is leaving the team because of this. Give up the opportunity, fame, and something they’ve worked for? Won’t happen.

- Nobody (or only a small %) will boycott or pirate the show as a result of this. Human nature. People love / are interested in DCC not one girl.

- The main part of the vitriol seems to be aimed at Charlotte and Cowboys management. While this is an improvement from trolling individual cheerleaders, they really don’t care what you think. If it gets too much or actually touches them in any way, they’ll just pull their permissions for Netflix. It’ll be a financial decision - is the juice worth the squeeze. And they have the money to sue anyone who steps beyond anonymous online harassment in the way that Reese/AK etc don’t.

48F RRMS. Diagnosed in 2022 (first relapse 2016) with brain/spinal lesions. I just got the results back of my latest MRI and it has stayed stable since diagnosis, no changes. I'm on ocrelizumab. I won't be getting routine MRIs anymore unless I develop new symptoms.

MRIs don't tell the whole story of course but I'm still fully functional, pretty much symptom free, working as a physician and generally living my life.

Just wanted to give some perspective to the recently diagnosed, and emphasise how great the newer DMDs generally are at suppressing focal inflammation. Hopefully in a few years we'll have more available that target smouldering inflammation as well.

I’m a shift worker so my sleep has never been great. My old pattern - sleep 5/6 hours a night 12/1 to 6ish with a few nights sleep of 8/9 hours a week (bedtime always 12/1ish). A few nights (when working) I’d get very little sleep - 2/3 hours.
Would have long naps often.
Have functioned this way for years.

My shift pattern changed at the end of April so I’m no longer doing nights and I made a concerted effort since May 9 or so to get into a better sleeping routine. I now have lights off and am sleeping pretty much right away by 11 or 11.30 at outside. Read for 20-30m before lights off.
My wake time is 6-6.30 with a sunrise alarm. This morning I didn’t set it and woke up “naturally” at 6.45.

I am so tired. I can still do stuff and I’m not napping but I feel significantly more tired than before like I’m getting less sleep!
I do wake up once or twice overnight but manage to get back to sleep fairly quickly.

Am I just not meant to be a regular sleeper??
