On This Day in 1848, Karl Weierstrass became a mathematics teacher at the Catholic Gymnasium in Braunsberg, Germany, his third such position. That year he taught mathematics for 19 hours per week, took over the geography class after Easter, and received a special note of thanks for helping out in the gym! (@MacTutor)
A great mind like Weierstrass was a high school teacher. Schools at that time must have been damn demanding!

meanwhile, the baby has climbed the entire carpeted 14-step staircase to the second floor at 6 months... u shud be training ur spatial awareness and movement; i prefer tree and rock climbing for that, and u cud look at thai-chi or even pickle-ball;
reply
I think TaiChi would be good for most people because the focus is on balance and lack of effort.
That makes people more confident because they know they can shift their balance as needed.

I'm generally good on that - just missed the handrail when I slipped. For now, I'm just going to take the elevator when its been pouring instead of 6 flights of stairs. Behave like everyone else.

Same thing happened to me a few years back, I popped a few vertebrae in my spine. Luckily that was it, and I healed up fine. Hope you get better soon!

I think it's only muscles and tendons got their asses handed to them by gravity and concrete... so imma just lay low for a day or two. Also I am now looking as if I'm 25% smurf and these days where the overseer may ship you to some foreign prison based on racial profiling... you never know. Better safe than sorry.

I popped a few vertebrae in my spine
You mean the disks ruptured? Can that heal? I was under the impression that they stay ruptured - like worn out shocks on a car.
reply
I’m not sure what the right word is in English, but it was like small cracks in two of my vertebrae.
I was under the impression that they stay ruptured
That I don’t know, the doctor said there was nothing they could do. Just had to wait a few months and then get an X-ray to see how it was. I had to wear this kind of exo-skeleton thing for a while to keep my back straight. After that, the doc said I was good as new… but I always wonder if they just say that so we don’t worry too much! ~lol

doctor said there was nothing they could do
centralized medical doctors usually don't know what to do or essentially say: "there's nothing we cud do that wudn't harm you;"
u probably have a small compression deformity (as seen in a sample image below); if u got an X-ray, then the smallest one u cud see wud give u issues for a few months; if u got a CT, small ones are visible, maybe a few weeks of recovery; if it were seen only by MRI, then it's essentially meaningless; there is a wide variation of what is small and what is large - sometimes decided by whether surgeons are getting greedy and want referrals...
i think everyone shud be curious how their own pictures look like and ask around for an additional look;

sounds like a fracture

That’s it. In Portuguese we call it a ‘fratura’. ~lol

drinking 64oz of fresh watermelon juice today, juiced whole with rind & seeds; watermelon juice is a low-acidity fruit (above 5 pH), which helps the body reduce the total load of protons in the body (and consequently, to my primitive understanding, the total load of deuterium);
yesterday was an apple-juicing day, more than 64oz (juiced without the cyanide); that was supposedly a high load of vitamin C, which helps the immune system;

how come nobody has claimed ~juicing yet?
so y'know it doesn't overstep the bounds of ~HealthAndFitness ...
reply
"juicing" wud be too narrow of a topic for a territory; a more inclusive topic wud be something like Rasayana or food alchemy/chemistry; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasayana
"The current Rasayana formulas are based on such ingredients as amla (Emblica officinalis) which, if fresh, has high content of vitamin C, Terminalia belerica, Terminalia chebula, shilajit, long pepper, black pepper, ginger, processed guggul, guduchi, ashwaganda, shatavari and similar ingredients."

watermelon juice sounds good right now
reply
many want some watermelon juice; few wish to pay for the $777 juicer; it's also a lot of work... watermelon is a pretty good start tho, for the amount of juice yield and work;
reply
It probably has been said many times already, but damn, do I like the live comments.
I wonder if this has led to better (quantified?) engagement in certain posts, through recurring visits by a same stacker.

Today, I was unexpectedly roped in to invigilate the PSLE Chinese Listening Compre for a student running a high fever.
I must confess that I am shocked at how all the options were read aloud. Although I cringe at the deteriorating standards of Mandarin Chinese among young Singaporeans these days, I’m relieved that I just need to focus on understanding for my children in the future.
A brainwave came over me. (我灵机一动。) The last question was about the learning takeaway derived from an incident. So, when I picked up my son just now, I got him to read a simplified version of this pivotal question. Talk about work crossing over into personal life.
I’m quite happy that my day was accorded greater significance because whatever I experienced directly impacted my boy positively.
