When I was on a vct tile flooring team the tile laying guys wore thick ass knee pads with skates on them to make laying tile as minimally destructive as possible and their knees still looked like basketballs.

The joints in my hands got swollen, and it took concerted effort to flex or extend them.

Manual labor definitely stinks, although it does have that sort of "hard work, done well" feeling to it, but that's at least partially informed by exhaustion imo

I really didn't know how much cushioning was done to lessen the strain on the body for manual labor.
Do people get infosessions, or is it more of a "deal with the issues when they pop up" kind of thing?

There are probably close to at least one billion manual laborers on this planet, I would guess some have training beforehand while others learn as they go.

eh, I was one of those "pick up streetside" type guys, anything learned was by the good graces of the rest of the crew.


I have a question, I think I have uvulitis and it makes sleeping seem really hard to impossible, does anyone know a way to make my throat allow the passage of air?

Im ordering ice cream, so thats my first guest, and I have no car or access to any typical over the counter anti-inflammatorys (that I cant find, I thought I always kept a big thing of acetominophen but fuck me if I can find it in my rats nest of a room right now.)

Oh god, the US health system makes me weep that in every international forum I see desperate Americans asking for free and unfiltered medical advice. You can trust this source of information.

As an aside, during my first aid training, if you ever want to open up your throat all you have to do is raise your china and tilt the head back. This is not medical advice.

I guess you could try anti-inflammatory herbs or natural products.
Start drinking huge amounts of green tea infused with curcumin or something lol.

China can be slang for high quality powder heroin, so maybe he’s suggesting a nice dope toast!

i unseated my processor and gpu to dust them out.

when i turned my computer back on EVERYTHING runs slow. even when im trying to type this out its just incredibly laggy. could it be that i didnt seat the processor back in properly?

could the slowness of my PC be linked to me damaging my processor? if so how would i go to fix it? or am i just FUCKED??

edit: okay i refitted my processor casue one of the screws was loose and that was it.

I did hard manual labor for like 10 years, it was definitely a blessing for my body, made me really strong. I don't have the 'ripped gym' type of body, but a lot of functional strength, and I think out of every person I know in real life, I might just have the best 'in shape compared to hours spent exercising-ratio'.

But reasons why it was great for me and not great as a rule are:
I worked part time, guessing average 20-25 hour weeks rather than 35-40+ hour weeks, with a couple days per week being very intense, but only 5 hours long. I was working part time while studying full time most of the time, but I would also work full time during summers and stuff like that, and noticed a very, very big difference in how tired it made me.
My job was very varied, not just the same lifts over and over
I was conscious to use it as a workout - and made sure to relax outside work
In Norway we have a lot of breaks (5 hour working day would have 30 or 45 minutes paid breaks), and at least at my workplace, we were genuinely highly encouraged to stop working immediately and take a day or two off if we feel back pain beyond a regular feeling of being tired - bosses understood that tackling the problem early on was way preferable to people developing back problems).
Workplace focused on us having proper posture (although, to be fair, sometimes we worked too fast to really care), they'd have inspectors walking around checking up on us once per year or whatever.
I stopped when I was like 32, and at that point, I could already feel that it was a bit more straining than it used to be during my 20s.

So while certain forms of hard manual labor has the potential to be a great workout, it turns into back-breaking rather than back-strengthening if you : do it for too many hours per week (and a regular full time working week is too many), for too many years (body recovers much better during your 20s than in your 40s+), if you work in a too exploitative work environment, and /or if it's really repetitive. Personally I'm really glad for the experience and I liked it a lot. There were also like 3 different occasions during those 10 years where I lifted wrongly or too heavily and got lumbago - Norway having good sick leave laws meaning I didn't have to go back to work until I had properly healed was essential for me not developing any longer term issues.

I always hear about people doing (hard) manual labor get issues. Especially back issues from beding; or joint issues.
However, isn't what they're doing basically a workout? If they simply use correct posture, and dont overdo themselves, they should have ripped backs, no?


Pretty much everything of not absolutely everything can damage your body if done excessively
I mean, things like sitting too long or even lieing too long can be bad

That said, I think whe you are young and energetic, manual labor can be a blessing for your body. I knew guys that have been going to the gym after hours of labour to shapen their bodies right. And man, Michael Phelps looked like a joke compared to them. But it all goes downhill mid 30's (backs and knees first) when you body is slow to recover

Manual labour also can exacerbate any conditions you already have or were already susceptible to. For example my wrists were already weakened playing games my entire teenage life and manual labour has certainly made that worse

How did the @ sign go from being the least used symbol on the typewriter to the most used symbol on the keyboard? Who came up with the two letter word "at" needing to be abbreviated? It's more pragmatic to type at than hit caps lock 2 for @
