Benign fasciculation. It only used to happen after walking, and in my quads and calves. I swam competitively in division III and never happened in my upper body. I never worried about it. For folks that don’t understand the minimal and random nature of the ticks, here’s a good video.

Meat: get a ThermaPen instant read thermometer and cook meats to 120 for rare, 125 for med rare and 135 for medium. Pull the meat off heat 5 d before it hits you desired temp.

I’m 59 and I went gradually in the last 15 years from barely being able to sit cross legged to now I can’t even touch my right toe (chronic groin problem) let alone sit cross legged.

Don’t need the homeless. You can pluck a hair, donate your blood, or even take a plug of your foreskin if you have one, to generate the neural stem cells from iPSC, the cell type they use in this process.

Get more depressed and add intense anxiety to the mix.

If my depression is bad, but not suicidal bad, then I overeat. If it’s suicidal bad, I stop eating.

You have to look at other body language components along with the lick. This is a lick is missing some stress signals that may mean it’s less anxiety driven or only partly anxious. A video would be more informative.

There is no whale eye here (whites of the eyes), eyebrows are ‘somewhat’ relaxed (not totally sleepy relaxed, but not ridgidly flexed either), ears are not flattened/down in an anxious position (see the linked article below for stressed vs relaxed face and note Clara’s whale eye, folded ears, and eyebrows in the stressed image).

Samsung XCover Pro 6. Because it’s the only phone out there with a removable battery on the fly. Takes me 15 seconds to pop in my second fully charged battery. Because I’m ADD and constantly forget to charge my phone. When I’m out the door about to drive my 55 mile commute to work I want a fully charged battery and my car won’t charge the battery properly.

Oh, and it’s INDESTRUCTIBLE. I fell with the phone in my right hand, landed my full 200 lb on my hand, phone back against the bike path asphalt, phone back sliding on asphalt for 2 feet with my full fallen 200 lb landing only on the phone. I ask friends to point out the scratch on the case from the fall, and they can’t until I point it out to them.
