Do you know of any regular exercises to help prevent (or at leats reduce the inevitable progression of) carpal tunnel?  Also, any (cheap!  This is important!) ergonomic tips for it?

I found these exercises to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome:

I think that when you use a keyboard or a mouse, you want to have your wrists supported so they are straight and neutral, and when you sleep, you need to have your wrists straight.  My sister-in-law had carpal tunnel syndrome and she slept in special wrist braces designed to keep them straight.  I have seen ergonomic wrist supports at office supply stores that aren't very expensive.

What do you think about Obama?

Something cheap and really relaxing for your hands and wrists.

Take a huge plastic container (With lid, so you can use it many times). Fill the container with the cheapest version of dry macaroni. And when you come home and sit down to relax, put your hand in the container with dry macaroni. Very relaxing. Just do that 5 minutes at a time per hand. And make sure you don't have to put your arm in a weird position to get your hands covered in the macaroni bath.

What do you think about Obama?

I think that he has been a bad president so far.

why?

[Callaway]

why?

For one reason, he started out spending a lot of money that we don't have giving subsidies to people who wanted to buy more fuel-efficient brand new cars, for example.  I'm sure that the manufacturers of Japanese automobiles were very grateful for these subsidies.

For another reason, he said that he wouldn't sign into law any health care reform legislation that didn't include a public option, then he signed it anyway without a public option, giving health insurance companies a huge bonus by requiring everyone in America to purchase private health insurance or face a penalty.  One might think, "But at least the health insurance companies will have to begin covering children with pre-existing conditions."  However, there's no teeth to that law without a public option, so they just stopped writing child-only health insurance policies in several states when the requirement began.

Ah, I didn't know much about either of those topics really. I know the healthcare thing is a pretty big issue, but I have'nt really paid as much attention to american politics (or politics in general ytbh) since I stopped studying it

Obama is better than Bush at least tho

I don't think that he is better.  I wanted Hillary Clinton to be president because I thought that she would fix health care. The last time it was fixed a little, her husband was in office and she was responsible for it.  At least we can buy COBRA coverage now when we lose our health insurance, assuming that we can afford to pay both our and our former employer's share of the cost.

wow you don't think he's better than Bush? Bush was a dumb as fuck religious freak

99% of all politicians are dumbfucks. Some fucking imam was invited to Sweden by the social democrats and what did he do? Told that killing homosexuals was the duty of every muslim. Was he arrested for hate crimes, like a Nazi defamating muslims would have been? No.

You don't think Obama was liberal enough, so is therefore worse than a strict conservative?  Where exactly do you place yourself on that spectrum?

Where on the spectrum I place myself depends on the specific issue.  I want nationalized health care but I didn't want taxpayers to fund subsidies for people to make new automobile purchases.  I think that women should be able to choose for themselves whether they want to have an abortion.  I think that the national deficit is too high.  I think that Americans without criminal records should have the right to own guns.

That sounds like true liberalism, no the bullshit they claim being liberalism. 

The first gun law in Sweden wasn't introduced by the socialists, as one might think, but by a "liberal" government.
