That's got to be pretty close to a good Fibonacci golden spiral example.

Haha, I'm so glad you're hyped about this. It might be the most excitement I'll ever see for menopause.

Without knowing anything about the nature or severity of their arthritis, it is impossible to give you an answer. Honestly, I would say that it's a nice idea, but generally it's not helpful to purchase specific medical devices for other people without their direct input. No two situations with the same medical problem are identical.

Can I suggest maybe a gift card for a store that specialises in rehabilitation / adaptive equipment and giving them the catalogue? Those kinds of businesses tend to be... extremely expensive though, so be warned. Companies love preying on people's desperation.

No problem, I know you mean really well. So did the people who bought me some crappy items gathering dust in the corner 😅

If they've already identified objects, that's great though. It sounds like their arthritis is limiting their grip strength, hand open/close action and maybe twisting objects is the problem too. Perhaps instead of a new gas cap, a more universal tool like a smaller lever clamp might be useful for multiple things and can be kept in the car.

Not professional advice though, hands are not my area. Good luck!

I love the way their fluffy tails have fuzzy border color variation. And these are some very fluffy tails.

I think squirrels are one of the few things I miss about my time in north america 😅 maybe if I had been in Canada instead...

The world is on fire and instead of working together to extinguish the flames, we're just using what resources haven't yet burnt to make more fire to kill each other with.

He's been calling her that for years, and it's kind of wild nobody really mentions it. Michael Cohen tried to play it off as "oh its probably commentary on how she handles lawsuits" (paraphrased) but it's pretty clear from this list of nicknames that Trump just likes rhyming nicknames for bullying people about things he thinks makes others inferior, including but not limited to racism, ableism and sexism.

And what a delicate and graceful ballerina she makes too. I wish you both many more Halloweens together ❤️ 👻 🎃

Glad to have helped out!

Everyone always assumes it's an old retired person problem too, but it isn't, even if being worked to the bone for decades means they're obviously the biggest group of people with arthritis and other disabilities. We don't hear about it because people try real hard not to hire people with disabilities, including but not limited to the media.

Not quite what I was taught. It is possible to self-plagiarise, plagiarism only needs to be reproduction of a work with the claim it is your own original work.

I still think that's a ploy by journal publishers to prevent losing their exclusive extortion abilities, but that doesn't really make much difference to the end result.
