Doctors of osteopathic medicine (DO) are legitimate doctors (at least from my experience in the US healthcare system). They function identically to doctors of allopathic medicine (MD) with the rare addition of osteopathic manipulation. But their standards of training and credentialing are essentially the same. You'll find crackpot DOs and MDs if you look for them.

Not knocking the technology at all, it really can be life-changing for people with Parkinson's disease. But it's been around for a while, it was approved in the US by the FDA in the late 90s. A chip is not implanted, but rather electrodes in the brain that connect to the controller elsewhere.

Glad to hear he's recovering well. People underestimate the degree of deconditioning that happens after just a few weeks of immobilization and hospitalization. Looking forward to more great music from him.
But also... Tumblr?
Note: my experience is limited to the US medical system, so things may be different where you are. However, I definitely agree with getting wrist braces first while waiting for your appointment. Schedule an appointment with a primary care provider who can evaluate you and recommend either medications or refer you to a specialist. Often times carpal tunnel can be managed with over the counter medications, wrist braces, and avoiding the repetitive movements that exacerbate it (usually typing in today's world). If not, then the specialist of choice is often an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in wrist and hand surgery, though there are also plastic surgeons that specialize in hand surgery as well.

Oh, and for anyone interested, this was shot with my Sony a7iv, Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens, aperture f/7.1, 3.2 second exposure on a tripod. The relatively long exposure is what gives the water jets that soft, smooth look
If you're interested and able to donate, check out a few organizations that are providing aid. I donated to the International Medical Corps because a Libyan friend of mine has worked with them in the past and vouches for them.
Still deciding. I'm relatively new to the hobby so still getting a feel for different switches. I've only recently become a fan of linears after discovering heavy linears, and now going back to tactiles feels so crunchy. The bananas have a very light bump at the top, so once you pop through that, they just feel like smooth linears. The bump for me basically serves to prevent accidental key presses when resting my fingers on the keys.
Yeah the big draw of custom keyboards for me was trying different switches, so hot swap was a must. I already have more switches than I need. If I could do it over again, I would have first invested in a switch tester
Oh that's cool, I didn't know the raised oar salute was a thing, but that makes sense.
They sometimes have boats too tall to pass through along the river, but they just raise one bridge at a time to minimize traffic disruptions. Kind of a fun spectacle to see if one hasn't seen it before
thanks for using Leebra!
