The key is that you sometimes sit all day long, RSI occurs when you do the same movement over and over again, aggravated by a wrong posture. I knew a girl who was always was using the mouse in her left hand, so I thought she was a lefty, turned out she had problems using her right hand/arm due to RSI and was seeing a physiotherapist for it.
 
I find it useful, very useful article to read, although I never meet anyone who has RSI, instead I have talked to quite a lot of gay males. Some of them are even my wife's best friends.

Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...

Thread 'Warning of new opiod drug (nitazene) on the streets: Question re strength...'

Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
