Honestly, I didn't have even the slightest clue where to start with this one. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

crimsonstag84, thanks for the suggestion 👍
The 10xx series cards aren't supported on macOS yet, so I guess I'm stuck with the GTX 9 xx series for the time being. Still need to double-check things for the motherboard.
I've always just used two identical monitors—honestly, it didn't even cross my mind, but that sounds pretty interesting. I'll dig around for some other monitor alternatives 👍

I'm looking to build a workstation for programming that can double as a gaming rig, with an eye toward a future VR upgrade when the time comes.
The plan is to run a dual boot setup with Windows and Hackintosh. I've put together a list below, but honestly, I'm feeling a bit unsure if these parts are actually optimized for what I need, so if anyone has better ideas, please don't hold back. As for getting the Hackintosh side of things working smoothly? Don't worry about me—I'll handle all the compatibility headaches myself.
Here’s what I’ve got so far:

Does anyone have recommendations for foot scans and custom orthotics in Washington, D.C.? I'm looking for a place that actually knows what they're doing—has anyone had any particularly good or surprisingly bad experiences lately? Thanks!
How to fix Kyphosis and improve posture?

With everything said, it wouldn't be a bad idea if you started improvising like this at work, too.
Given that I've been doing this for two months now, I honestly feel great by the end of the day:

RADIOLOGY REPORT
MRI OF THE LUMBAR SPINE
Technique: multi-sequence multiplanar imaging (General Electric MAGNETOM 1.5 TESLA).
Vertebral body heights and structure are normal. Small Schmorl's nodes are noted on the endplates of L2, L3, and L4. Intervertebral disc space width is maintained.
On the slices viewed at the level of the intervertebral spaces... At Th11-Th12, there is a small subligamentous paramedial disc protrusion to the right, which is in contact with the dural sac and the right Th11 nerve root.
At L1-L2, L2-L3, and L3-L4, the spinal canal width is normal with no visible disc protrusions.
At L4-L5, there is a minimal disc bulging that is in contact with the dural sac. Lateral recess width is maintained. There is some more pronounced facet joint arthrosis.
At L5-S1, the spinal canal width is normal. Facet joint arthritic changes are present.
So, I just had an MRI done on my spine, and honestly, a few of these terms have me a little spooked, specifically "disc bulging in contact with the dural sac" and "right-sided paramedial disc protrusion contacting the dural sac and the nerve root ." Am I totally overreacting here?
Second thing—can anyone help me translate this into plain English? (I’m clueless when it comes to medical jargon.) I’m happy to pay for the help.
Thanks

I'm on the hunt for a solid orthopedic specialist here in Washington, D.C., specifically someone who knows their stuff when it comes to the back—think lower back pain, posture issues, and all that related misery.
Honestly, I don't care if I go through Medicare or just pay out of pocket; I just want someone good.
I actually saw Dr. Johnson for a knee issue a while back, and man, he was fantastic. The only catch is that whenever I look up his referrals, it’s all knee specialists. I'm not entirely sure if he's the right call for spinal stuff.
Thanks 👍

Help: Stationary bikes and sex?
in Hobbies & Leisure ·
So, I spent three whole months grinding away every single day on this tiny little stepper at home, thinking I was doing great. But then summer rolled around and my glutes? Nonexistent. Total bust. I actually went and asked some fitness pros what the deal was, and they suggested I switch over to a stationary bike to really see some results. So, naturally, I started pedaling. Well, disaster struck immediately. The first time I finished a workout, I couldn't even enjoy some quality time with my guy. He could tell something was off right away, even though I tried to play it cool. It was super uncomfortable—just constant irritation and zero interest. The second time I hit the bike, it was the exact same story: just discomfort and no fun at all. By the third time, things got so inflamed that I’ve been stuck using Johnson & Johnson products to deal with it. I’m even waking up in the middle of the night feeling that nagging discomfort. At this point, there's absolutely no way I'm getting back on that bike. On the days I don't work out, everything with my partner is totally fine, so I'm pretty sure the bike is the culprit here. I honestly want to get back into my routine, but now I'm just terrified. Has anyone else dealt with this, or does anyone actually know why this is happening???
Squats. Period. Combine them with whatever else you feel like, but if you want results, squats have to be the main event.
There's a million little variables when it comes to those indoor bikes—seat height, the tilt, how firm the saddle is, your forward or backward positioning... Honestly, it's hard to pinpoint exactly what's going wrong without more specifics...

I guess I’m probably the only one who missed out on those overnight sales at Walmart, and honestly, I was sitting there one night just feeling absolutely devastated 😢

Sean Myers31 said:Alright, let's see who's actually out there today... anyone brave enough to face the morning commute to work or college or whatever it is you do?
Me? I just took a little stroll after work with my umbrella🙂
My cheap raincoat from eBay actually did its job getting me to the office yesterday🙂
But honestly, I need to pick up something better because this thing sucks; the hood is a total disaster, it keeps falling over my eyes, and the second a gust of wind hits, the whole thing just flips backward over my head (you know, those ones that flap all over the steering wheel and everything)
PS
I even hopped on my bike after work to ride over to Hazelwood to grab a jacket😁

New monitors, new resolutions
in Computer Peripherals ·
So, I’m currently rocking a 22'' monitor running at 1680x1050.
I'm thinking about picking up a second 22'' screen, and I'm wondering if I really need to obsess over matching the resolution, or if I can just grab a 1920x1080 model and call it a day?

Hey there 🙂
I was wondering if you guys could point me toward a decent graphics card in the $300-$133 range?
The main thing is that I need at least two video outputs (for my 22'' monitors, if resolution even matters in this context...). I’m not exactly some hardcore gamer or anything, so just something that won't die the moment I decide to try out a new game every once in a while should do the trick...

Hey there!
I was wondering if anyone could point me toward a good ENT specialist in Chicago?
I’ve got a referral, so I’m looking to stick with my insurance rather than paying out of pocket, but I'm a bit picky about who I see since my sinus issues are pretty brutal.

Best protein powders for muscle gain?

Has anyone else placed an order with Pronutrition lately? I put mine in two weeks ago and still nothing... whenever I give them a call, it’s the same old story—"Oh, we'll get it to you in a few days." Honestly, it's such a joke. Grrrr.
