same, got it at 35 due to stress/burnout. Still have scars 10+ years later. ‘thousand needles with electricity going between them’ in the closest I can describe it
I had shingles in my 30's. It's the worst pain I've experienced, hands down. There's not even a close second.
Go get your shingles shot. Period.

I’m 46 but I had my shingrix shot because I’m worried about what RFK jr is going to do with vaccines. Shingles is a preventable illness like measles. We are so lucky to have these vaccines! I for one will not forgo them because the guy who runs government health services has a 🐛 in his 🧠

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

how do you all remember every UUID? I find it really hard. so I wrote them all down on every uuid dot com
the list has fast search across all 2^122 values (so you can find your favorites) - hoping to add some social features like "trending UUIDs" soon!
