Nungali Posted 15 hours ago 7 hours ago, Taomeow said: I didn't mean to discourage anyone from going to the bathroom or taking a shower. Perhaps, based on personal experience, I would caution against doing yoga in the bathtub while taking a bath, especially halasana aka the plow pose. That's because the space in the tub is tight and surfaces slippery, and getting stuck is quite likely if these two factors cause your shoulders to slide forward while your legs, the moment they touch the wall behind your head, lock you in this position with your head possibly underwater -- unless you're at least cautious enough to have nearly drained the tub before doing something this poorly thought through. Silly you ! I always drain the tub before doing yoga in it ! (actually my tub is outside with a fire in it , each corner is propped up by a stack of concrete bricks , one corner has started to crumble .... so I am careful even getting in or out ..... one day though ...... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One time, household was cold so dad shuts all doors and windows , and gets something to burn some wood in , lights a fire inside in a closed house .... no chimney or anything .

Her and her Facebook customers were excited by it . I asked her what it felt like wearing that thick goo around the eyes , she said " It burns a bit at first but then you get used to it ." Wow ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What´s important to me is that AI quotes are clearly marked as such, so there´s no confusion between human and machine. In this case, AI was able to call up and summarize material that I learned in a Jewish mysticism class thirty years ago in a way that I would of struggled to do on my own. Right ! That's it !
